DAVID S. QUIMBY, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.

FIREPLACE-HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 30.349, dated October 9, 1860.

i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. QUIMBY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, in the State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fireplace'Heater; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section showing the perforated plates A, B, C, D, fire box F, and exit flue E. Fig. 3, is a vertical longitudinal section showing the perforated plates A, B, C, D, fire box F, smoke flues G, G and the direct opening flue H, to the exit flue E. Fig. 4 is the base or bottom plate I), perforated and set on legs about one inch above the foundation to allow for the admission of fresh air to the fire for the aid of combustion. Fig. 5 is the top plate A perforated to spread the current of warm air as it enters the room. Figs. 6 and 7 are intermediate plates between the base and top plates to spread and equalize the heated air in its ascent to the top plate or top of a flue covered with a plate similar to Fig. 5.

The large space between the outer shell I and the fire box F is for the purpose of heating a large amount of air to a moderate degree not so high as to injure its quality for warming purposes.

The apparatus is to be made of cast iron in the same manner as stoves are ordinarily 1 constructed.

The operation is: Light a fire of wood or coal in a grate to be fastened into the opening J of Fig. 6. Air is admitted through the base plate D and the plate above it marked Fig. 7, for the aid of combustion and for heating purposes. As the heated air rises it passes through the perforated plate Fig. 6, and out at the top plate Fig. 5, to heat the room in which the heater is placed, and through tubes with a perforated plate like Fig. 5 on their top ends to heat other rooms. I11 starting a fire the damper or valve in the flue H from the fire box F to the exit fiue E, should be left open, but when the tire is fairly started the valve should be closed and the products of combustion made to travel down flues G G and to enter the exit fiue E at the base plate D which has a raised boss K to guide the products of combustion to the exit flue E.

I do not claim the bringing a current of cold air to the heater to be heated and dif fused in the same or another room. But

hat I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is The arrangement of the fire box F, perforated plates A, B, G, D, with the flues G G and flue E, arranged and operated as described.
