SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 299,104, dated May 27, 1884.

. Application filed January 27, 1882. (No model.)

f2 (LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnwrs F. Burrs, of Morton, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new 5 and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates especially to stoves used for heating purposes, wherein h y'drocarbon oil or gas is consumed as fuel, and has for its object the production of a device which shall be pleasing to the eye, and at the same 1 time be so constructed and arranged as to promote thorough and perfect combustion, there by avoiding any unpleasant smell, and which will in the highest degree utilize the heat produced by the consumption of the fuel. To accomplish this I have applied the well-known tubular principle 7 to a heati11g-stove,whereby all the above-mentioned desirable results are obtained; and my invention involves certain novel and useful combinations or ar- 2 5 rangements of parts, and peculiarities of construction and operation, all of which will be hereinafter first fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved heatingstove, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the top of the stove at right angles to Fig. 2.

Like letters of reference, wherever they 00- 3 5 our, indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Ais the base of the stove, constructed of castiron or any suitable material, supported by legs A.

B is the oil-pot, aflixed to the base.

0 are burners of any approved form, the ratchet-shafts being operated by means of the buttons 0.

D is the usual perforated plate surrounding the wick-tubes below the cones E. For convenience in trimming the wicks the burn er-cones are cast or otherwise formed singly or two together, and fit nicely into place, as shown. Vhen it is desired to reach the wicks or wick-tubes, said cones may be easily lifted out.

F is an air-chamber surrounding the wick tubes, and supported above the base by suitable legs. A space, A, is left between the oilpot and said air-chamber for the free circula- 'tion of outside air, whereby the oil-pot is kept cool.

G G are conduits extending upward from the air-chamber, upon each extremity thereof, said conduits'being provided at top with a de fleeting plate or surface, G, cast therewith or made separate thereform, as desired.

H is a flame-space or chimney surrounding the burners, and extending sufficiently thereabove to insure thorough and perfect combus- 6 5 tion. This chimney is provided with a suitable door, H, for reaching the burners. If desired, said door may be glazed in the usual manner, and when so arranged the flame of the burners will impart a cheerful light to the apartment in which the stove is placed.

At the top of chimney H,and extending over the extremities of conduits G,is located a plate,

I, held in place by means of the bolts N, passing therefrom to the bottom of the air-chamher. Over each air-conduit G, and extending downward to the mouth thereof, is located a depression, 1, formed in plate I. These depressions are of such a shape as to form deflecting-surfaces, against which currents of air will impinge and be deflected into the conduits to the air-chamber for feeding the burners. The number of air-conduits is not material, as any number may be employed, and, if desired, said conduits might be utilized as 8 5 supports for the structure, and be closed at top and bottom, the air being admitted to chamber F through any suitable channel; but

it is preferred to construct and use them as shown.

J is a plate having a large perforation, J, in the center thereof over the flame-space, and smaller perforations J over the depressions I. Around J 2 is formed abase, J extending upward, and serving as asupport for the hotair conduits or flues G Around plate J a depending edge, J fits nicely over plate I.

K. is a dome fitting over hole J, said dome being removable from its seat, leaving a convenient utensil-hole for cooking purposes, 820., if ever required. Said dome may be glazed, as described for door H. l

L L are conduits or fiues leading-upwar with an inward inclination, as shown, from the vertical conduits G Conduits L terminate in a chamber, L, open at bottom for the escape of products of combustion. Said chamber may be surmounted by a suitable urn, M, and, if desired, a portion of the products of combustion may be allowed to escape therearound. W'hen located as indicated, the opening for the escape of products of combustion is entirely hidden from view, and as the products of combustion are compelled to turn downward directly over the flame-space they meetthe rising column of radiated heat, and

the two currents are forced outward in each direction. I

1? is a reflector, constructed of suitable material, and placed in such a position at the back of the stove or in the center thereof as to throw the heat in one or both directions, as desired. The upper portion of the stove is secured to the air-chamber by means of rods N, passing downward through the conduits, as shown.

It will be seen that by my peculiar construction the greatest possible heating capacityv of the stove is attained, combustion is perfect, and the feed-air supply is controlled and directed in such a manner that smoking and reversing of the flame is practically impossible.

The stove may be used in any locality and removed from apartment to apartment at pleasure, admirably answering the various uses and purposes for which it is intended.

' Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In aheating-stove'of the character herein specified, the combination, with the burners O, surrounded by an air-chamber, F, of freshair conduits G, extending upward from said air-chamber upon each side of the flame-space,

two witnesses.

hot-air conduits or flues G leading from a horizontally-extending chamber at the top of the flame-space to conduits L, terminating in a chamber, L, open at bottom, substantially as shown and described.

2. In aheating-stove of the character herein specified, the combination, with conduits G, bearing plates G, of plate I, containing depressions I, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination, with chimney H, of plate I, plate J, perforated at J and J and the removable dome K, substantially as shown and described. Y

4. In a heating-stove of the character herein specified, the combination, with chimney H, of plate I, plate J, having perforations J and J 2 therein, and the conduits or flues G and L, terminating in chamber L, said chamber being open at bottom, substantially as and for the uses and purposes shown and described.

5. In a stove of the character herein specified, the combination, with a flame-space surmounted by a horizontally-extending chamber having a radiating-surface thereabove, of two or more conduits laterally situated to said flame-space, and leading from the chamber surmounting said flame-space to a point thereover, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a stove of the character herein specified, the combination, with the flamespace surmounted by a laterallyextending chamber having a radiating-surface above said flamespace, of two ormore fiues or conduits extend- 8o ing to a point substantially over said flamespace and radiating chamber, and adapted and arranged to direct the escaping products of combustion in a downward direction, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that. I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of LEWIS F. BETTS. WVitnesses:
