.'PECIFICATON forming part of Letters Patent o. 353,024, dated 'November 23, 1886.

Application filed April 14, 1884. Serial No. 127,858. (No model.)

l T all whom, it may concern:

. ro ject of my invention is to provide for the more' 'even distribution of the heat in the oven and to utilize all of the products of combustion for heating said oven.

The invention consists in the constructio and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularlypointed out in the claims.

In ordinary cooking-stoves'the bottom of the oven will often burn the bottom of the article being baked, while the upper, portion `thereof will remain uncooked; or if the article is placed near the top of the oven the top will become burned before the lower'por-v -tion is cooked.A A gain, things near the door of the oven will not bake in so short a time as those near the back of the oven, or vice versa.

By my construction and arrangement the heat' within the oven is so equalized that the top and bottom ofthe article will be equally baked,- no matter in what part of the oven it isplaced.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved device with -parts broken away. Fig. A2 is a horizontal section of the same, taken on thejlinexm of Fig.` l. The lletter A designates the oven, upon the inner side of the sidewalls of which are secured in any convenient manner the ribs or racks a, which support the shelves b, which may be of any desired number, and are removably supported on said ribs, so that more or less may be used, as occasion may require. B is the stove or heater having the usual inner and outer walls, as shown.

C is the re-boX. c is the grate, D a door,

and d pot-holes to the stove, all of vwhich may be made of any well-known form'.

Instead of allowing the products of combustion to pass off from the combustion-chamber around and over the oven, as heretofore, I arrange a vertical flue, E, preferably near the rear of the heater, as shown in Fig. 2, and provide no outlet for the products of combustion, except through this iiue. The products of combustion from the fire-pot pass upward over the sheet-iron top e, and, finding no other exit, pass through an opening in said topinto the flue E and downwardv therethrough, asindicated by the arrows. A horizotal pipe, F, connects thebottom of the flue E with aradiator, G, arranged within the oven near the bottom.

At a distance from the bottom of the oven, preferably about half-way, the flue H connects with a drum, I, from the top of which extends a pipe, z', communicating with the bottom of another drum, K, leading from thetop of which is a pipe, k, leading out through the topof the oven, where it is connected with aI chimney or flue. The products of combustion pass through the pipe H into the drum I, from 'which the heat is radiated, so as to heat the central portion of the oven. The products of combustion from the drum I pass through the piped to the drum K, where the heat is radiated and heats the upper portion of the oven. rIhe smoke,

&c., pass out through the pipe 7c into the chimney. Y e

To prevent the heat from the drum from radiating enough heat toy burnthe articles on the shelves, l provide each drum with ashield or jacket, L, supportedby any 'suitable means to hold the shield from the drum to form an airspace, M, as shown in the drawings. These drums aremade With vertical ilues m at top and bottom, as/shown, so that thecold air entering the bottomofthe oven in passing through said fines will become heated,as will be readily understood. v

I attach importance to my construction and arrangement of the parts above described, as the products of combustion are forced to pass through the oven, thereby heating the same more quickly and uniformly than where they pass around it, and thearticles being baked are baked the saine throughout, no matter in what part of the oven they are placed. Awater-back, O, for heating water is arranged near the center of the heater B, and is` connected part of the oven.

R is a faucet for drawing the hot Water when heating apparatus comprising a radiator,as G,

desired. located in the bottom of the oven, and having Having described myinvention,what I claim connect-ions with a pipe leading from the fireis-f pot, and with an escape-Hue and drums7 also 5 1. The combination, with the combustion- Within the oven, as set forth. A chamber B and oven,of the vertical ilueE and 1 one or more radiators arranged in the oven ,as ELI C' L ROST' and for the purpose specified. Y W'itnesses: s
