FIRE-PLACE NICI-IE.
GPECEFIGATGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,710, dated August 18l 1885.
Application filed May 24, 1834. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it 71mg/ con/cern:
Be it known that I, JAMES N. LONG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Fire-Place Niehes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of an improvement in dampers for what are known as lire-place niches]7 the same comprising a frame or cas- Io ing to fit into the fire-place opening and carry a grate.
The object of the improvement is to provide such a frame with a damper which can be adjusted within the limits of the frame, so that the latter may fit snugly to the fire-place without interfering with the opening and closing ot' the damper, and so that the entire area of the tine may be exposed when desired.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is 2O a vertical section ot' sufficient of a fireplace niche to illustrate my invention; Fig. 2, a sectional plan on the line l 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a transverse section on the line 3 4, Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a perspective view of part of the structure.
The frame comprises the side plates, A, rear plate, B, front plate or arch, D, and top plate, E, all bolted together so as to form a complete selleontained structure, which can be set into an ordinary lire-place.
At the top of the frame is an inclined rear plate, F, which rests in a pocket at the upper edge of the back plate, B, and bears upon the opposite edges of the side plates, A, and at the upper edge of each of the latter is a projection, a, and to these projections are adapted the ends of asliding damper, J, having on the under sideguiding-ribs c, Fig. 3. W'hen this damperis adjusted, as shown in Fig. l, it com* 4o pletely closes the space between the top plate, E, and rear plate, F, and outs off all escape of the products of combustion to the flue x, the draft being regulated by drawing forward the damper so as to uncover more or less of the opening.
Under ordinary circumstances the inanipulation of the damper J is all that is necessary to regulate the draft; but when a freer draft is required the plate F may be thrown back in the direction of the arrow, so as to provide an 5C opening of large area at the top of the frame.
The front plate, D, is secured to the side plates, A, of the frame by means of bolts b, hooked into lugs d on said front plate, D, and furnished with nuts j', bearing on lugs g on the 55 projections a of the side plates, as shown in Fig. 4. The fastening for the front plate being at the sides of the frameinstead of in the center as usual, is out of the way of the damper and does not interfere with the sliding of the same 6C to the front when it is desired to `fully open the damper.
The main advantage of my improved method of constructing and supporting the sliding damper J is its compactness, the entire damper 6 5 and its guides being within the limits of the frame in whatever position the damper may assume, so that the frame can be fitted to fireplaces of contracted dimensions without any interference with the operation of the damper. 7@ Moreover, as the damper draws forward into the frame in opening, it does not,when opened, obstruct any portion of the iiue.
I claim as my invention- The combination of the sliding top damper, 7 5 J, and the pivoted rear plate, F, serving with the damper to close the flue, with the nicheframe having supports on which the top damper is free to slide, and a rest on which the rear plate can tilt, all substantially as 8o specified.
In testimony whereof I havesigned my name to this speciiicationin the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JAS. N. LONG.
