GAS-BURNING Fl RTE-PLACE.
arsenic-Arron forming part of Letters Patent no. 334,877, dated January 26, 1886.
Application filed December 19, 1884. Serial No. 150,719. mi model.)
-.T alZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I," ELMER F. MAo'KUsIoK, of thecity, county, and State of N ew York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burning Fire-Places, and the following is declared'to be a description of the same.
It is a well-known fact that grate-fires are objectionable on account of the dust and dirt theylmakean'd the labor IQ to them. In some oasesg'as-burning fire-places My invention relates toa gas-burning fireplace, and in the carrying out of my invention the objectsought is to make the fire-place resemble as much as possible an ordinary gratefire of hot 'coals, and to detain and warm a large body of air and pass it out into the room.
I employ an ordinary grate, which may be supported upon andirons or suspended. A gaspipe'having branches and burners is placed above the bars of the grate, andI use a frame withinthe grate composed of open-work material, "(preferably heavy wire-netting,) which frame has a front and sides supported upon the grate-bars, and corresponding generally with the contour of the grate, but smaller, and a top or flat portion above the burners, but not in contact with the gas-flames, and usually 'a' raised back portion above the top. Upon this open work support I place'irregular pieces .of difl'erent-oolored glass in a loose mass, so that the grate will appear to be full, the pieces filling or fitting in the space be ween the openwork and the front and end bars of the grate. 5 I use slabs of ruby or other colored glass for thepurpose of reflecting a bright light the hearth and fire-place frame in imitation of hot coals. The light from the gas-flames within the grate will illumine the pieces of 0 glass, presenting the appearance of hot coals, and the air passes up between the pieces of glass and becomes heated, and escapes into the In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved fire-place. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the same.
The fire-place is composed of the back and side plates, a a, the horizontal grate b, and,
andirons c, and the front and end grate bars, b b, which parts may be of any desired conwor'k support f rests at its the grate-bars, and its front struction, and do not require further description. The gas 1 pipe at enters, preferably, through the back frame, a, and has a T pipe, (1, running also over the grate, and smaller lateral pipes 6, upon which pipes e are the gas- I burners, These gas-pipes occupy a position directly abovethe grate-bars b.. The openlower edge upon and end portions correspond generally to the contour of the grate. The top part, f is above and preferabl y out of direct contact with the gas-flames, and usuallyI providea raised back portion at f. This open-work frame is made by preference of heavy wire-netting, although other materials-such as bars-may be employed. This open-work servesv as a support for the irof colored glass g, which are and between the thereof and the front and end bars, I) grate. Upon the grate-bars and at of the grate, I place slabs g of ruby or other colored class, for the purpose of reflecting a bright light in imitation of hot coals upon the hearth and fire-place frame. The pieees'of glass 9 may be of any desired color. Diflerent colors give the best effect; and this glass is placed loosely upon the open-work framesupportf, and when the gasis burning within the grate the'air passes up through the frameand between the pieces of glass into the room, and the light from the gas illuminates the pieces of glass, so that they present the ap pearance of a mass of hot coals. The air be comes heated as it passesbetwcen the pieces 7 the back of glass, and prevents them becoming too hot.
Quartz or similar material may be used instead of the glass, if desired. a
This grate is a desirable addition in rooms where steam-heat is used.
Ido not claim a grate havlng a metallic openwork front, the spaces of which are filled with I slabs of glass having roughened surfaces in imitation of coals. In this instance-there are not separate lumps of glass, between which the air circulates.
I claim as my invention I 1. The combination, in a gas-burning fireplace, with a grate and a gas-supply pipe and burners, of an opeirwork support above and no
