WILLIAM L. POTTER, OF CLIFTON PARK, NEW YORK.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,861, dated December 19, 1844.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. POTTER, o-f Clifton Park, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking- Stoves, which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective view of the stove. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section at the line :r of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section at the line 0 0 of Fig. 2. Fig. l is a vertical longitudinal section at the line l l of Fig. 3.

Similar letters in the several figures refer to corresponding parts.

This stove consists of a irerhamber A two ovens B, C,-one small and the other largethe small oven B being placed over or above the large oven C-flues F F2 F3 F--valve D-guard IE-combined and arranged in the manner represented7 or other mode substantially the same.

The invention and improvement for which a patent is solicited, consists in forming a flue F at the rear of the small oven B, communicating with the flue `F2 at the rear of the large oven C or directly with the smoke pipe G by means of a horizontal register D opened or closed at pleasure-said flue F2 communicatingwith a horizontal Hue F3 extending under or beneath the large oven which flue communicates with vertical Iiues F4 at the front angles of the large oven which extend upward to the bottom of the hearth. These flues then lead into two horizontal parallel flues F5 FG at the sides of the stove immediately over thelarge oven and at the lower angles of the small oven, the top plates of said lues forming portions of Said lues when they reach the rear angles of the stove, turn upward in a vertical direction as seen at F7 F8-whence they continue to rise until they enter the space above the register plate forming a portion of the funnel spaceat the top of the stove. Vhen the aforesaid register plate D is closed over the apertures the smoke and heat will pass through the flues just described in the direction indicated by the arrows; but when said register plate D is drawn forward so as to open the aper*` tures, the smoke andheat will pass directly circulation of a portion of the smoke and Y heat between the two ovens, whichV is ad-` mitted from the fire chamber A through an oblong aperture Hl in the guard plate E, placed vertically between the small oven and the iire place. The plates forming said small oven are dispensed with or omitted in the casting of the stove whenever it is desired to increase the size of the rechaniber- The guard plate E is made concave on the side next the small oven, in relation to which it is so placed as to leave a suficient space for the circulation of hot air which is admitted through the oblong aperture just named. rlhis guard plate is made movable so that it can be removed or replaced at pleasure.

I/Vhenever the aforesaid plates composing the small oven (except the back one) and the guard plate, or back of the re chamber are removed or omitted for the purpose of increasing the capacity of the lire-chamber. A movable back v is placed in the fire-chamber, which back 7c is made convex on the side next the place for the fuel and concave on` the opposite side on which two shoulders s are cast for resting and sliding upon the plates forming the tops of the horizontal side iiues in the fire chamber.

The hearth is arranged in the usual manner.

A plate L to rest the feet on, or to place any article thereon, is secured to the sides of the stove by dovetail tenons, and grooves so as to be put on or removed at pleasure.

The vertical plate P is perforated with an oblong slot to form a communication between the diving flues at the backs o-f the ovens. And also with another and smaller oblong aperture 79 below the one just named to allow the draft from the fire place under the small oven and over the large oven to pass directly to the back flue.

Vhat I claim as my invention isp The mode of combining my two ovens and flues, Viz.7 the draft descending at the backV lower part of the lire chamber through the of both ovens, under the lower oven, and up contracted lue H in the manner and for the in front oi' the lower oven in one entire purpose described. sheet, and dividing at the fro-nt of the upper WILLIAM L.
