ALBERT D. HART, OF PITTSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,164., dated July 8, 1843.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. HART, of Pittsfield, in the county of Berkshire and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Cooking-Stove, called a Vanquisher, for the Use of Wood and Coal. I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure I, is a perspective view. Figs. II and III are horizontal sections; Fig. IV, a longitudinal elevation representing the sideof the fire place and end of the oven; Fig. V, a longitudinal elevation represent ing the end of the fire place and side of the oven.

A in the accompanying drawings, is the hearth, a circular plate, with a sunken bottom a extending nearly across its center.

B is the fireplace in an oblong form or varying from that to a cylindrical form with grates suitably adapted for the use of wood or coal.

C is a circular plate nearly of the size of tltehearth covering the fire place, near the edges of this plate, directly over the extreme ends of the fireplaceare openings 6, b, Fig. III, and has a sliding plate 6. Fig. III of suitable dimensions to shut one end and open the other, or to have both half way open. This sliding plate may be moved in any of the known ways for moving slides or dampers.

D is a rotary plate with or without friction rollers made fast within a recess or flue which raises directly over the before mentioned openings in plate 0 and rests upon it. In this plate D as seen at cl (Z is the flue on its extreme circumference sufiiciently large to admit the heat and smoke from one boiler to the other, the boilers e, e, e, e, are placed around its surface in connection with the recess or flue, from the top of which flue raises two small pipes F F, from opposite sides; on the top; of these pipes rests an elevated and movable oven G, with. an opening on the top at H, for the main pipe. See Figs. I, IIII and V. This plate D may be moved in any of the known ways for moving rotary plates on'stoves.

The operation of this stove is as follows. First. The heat and smoke pass from the fire place at its extreme ends through plate G into the recess or fiue in plate D and is divided into four equal parts, and passes through small pipes to and around the oven and off on top at H. Second. Move'the sliding plate C, so as to close one opening, and having the other open, the heat and smoke separate and pass to the right and left through small pipes and off as before, thereby throwing the heat upon one half of the circumference, or by turning a damper in one of the small pipes the heat and smoke will all pass through the other, thus heating but one fourth of the plate D. Third. Bring the small pipes directly over the fire, hav-. ing the sliding plate and dampers open, thus throwing all the heat directly to the ends and around the oven.

What I claim as my invenetion and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

ALBERT D.
