RICHARD A. REW?, OF POMEROY, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 374,556, dated December 6, 1887.

Application filed November Q3, 18EG. Serial No. 919,701. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that l, RICHARD A. REW, of Pomeroy, in the county of Garfield, Washington Territory, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in stoves, and has for an objectto provide means for supplying air to the stove to aid combustion in such manner and by such means that the said air will be taken from the lower stratum in the room, thus withdrawing the foul air from the room and at the same time preventing the discharge of sparks into the room; and it consistsin the peculiar construction of the supply-pipe and the novel combination of said pipe and the stove, as will be described.

In the drawings, Figure lis a sectional View showing a part of a stove or range and illustratiug my invention. and Fig. 3 shows a slight modification.

The stove or range A may be mainly of any approved form or pattern, and I have not thought it necessary to show a complete stove, but only so much thereof as is necessary to the illustration of my invention. In a plane below the combustion-chamber or lfire-box A, I'

forni a closed draft-space, B, the same being by preference formed below the step or hearth of the stove, andhaving a flat top, l, removable iu the manner common to stove ash-boxes, a bottom, 2, and a front or side, 3. Thehearth o r top of this draft-space forms a convenient shelf to receive articles which it is desired to keep warm, and such articles will be protected from gases rising from coals dropped into the draft-space, which also forms an ash-box, and the said articles may, by closing the front of the stove, be protected from the directr heat from the coals, to which they would be exposed if the front of the stove,which may have doors, as usual, were open above the step or hearth.

The induction-pipe C, for supplying air to the combustiouchamber, communicates at one end with such chamber in the construction shown through the medium of the draft-space, while its opposite end opens near to the iioor of the room.

In the construction shown the draft-space B has a vertical partition, E, extending from its bottom nearly to its top, and has its bottom' Fig. 2 is a detail view,

formed with an opening, F,in front of suchv partition. The bottom is also provided with rails f to receive the anges G, formed at the upper end oftheinduction-pipe, andsuch pipe may be moved from the front into and out of attachment with the draft-space.

A latch device, H, is usually provided for securing the pipein connection with the draftspace, as shown.

It is preferred to employ the construction as shown in Figs. l and 2; but manifestly the draft-pipe might open into the draft-space, as shown in Fig. 3, without departing from the broad principles of my invention.

A particular advantage results from the form of the pipe, which is clearly shown in the drawings, it being bent into the form of a trap.

By this form of the pipe any sparks or coals which may be driven into the mouth of the pipe Where it opens into the draft-space will i be prevented from passing out onto the floor. This arrangement is especially desirable in stoves burning wood, for which it is particularly designed. In the use of such fuehsparks and coals are, as is well known, frequently driven with great force from the stick or log, and there is danger of their being driven out of the draft-opening of such stove and igniting the premises. Now, it will be seen that by the forni of my induction-pipe any coals that may enter the upper end or mouth thereof will be checked by the trap and cannot pass out onto the door.

By interposing the draftspace between the mouth of the inductionpipe and the combustion-chamber the chances of sparks or coals entering such pipe are reduced.

A damper, D, is provided to regulate the admission of air to the combustion-chamber, the same being preferably a butterfly-damper arranged in the induction-pipe, as shown.'

Now, it will be seen that by my invention I provide a simple inexpensive construction, which Will efficiently perform the desired office, will serve to prevent the passage of coals onto the floor, and-will support the damper or means for regulating the admission of air to the combustion-chamber.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the combustiona having a vertical partition, E, and the conlbustion-chamber, of the removable inductionpipe opening at its upper end into the draftspace in front of partition E and formed with a trap-shaped bend. substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the draft-space of the stove or range, of the removable trapshaped pipe extending nearly to the floor and provided with a damper, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
