JOHN LAXTON, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.

GAS-=STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,377, dated October 2, 1888.

Application filed October 20, 1887. Serial No. 252,910.

Be it known that I, JOHN LAXTON, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented.

certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Stoves, (for which I have obtained a patent in Canada, No. 26,837, dated June 3, 1887,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to design a stove in which the heat from the gas-jets shall be utilized to the fullest extent; and it consists in the peculiar combinations and the novel construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, the whole being constructed substantially as hereinafter more particularly eX- plained.

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a I) of Fig. 2, with parts of the inner plate, 0, broken away. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through c d of Fig.1. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan through c f of Fig. l.

A represents the upper oven, and B the lower oven. These ovens are separated by the cast-metal plate C, on the bottom of which is fixed the corrugated deflecting-plate D. The sides of the ovens A B are made of light sheet metal ,and are surrounded on their three sides by a jacket, E, made of light sheet metal, and between which and the sides of the ovens A and B an air-space, L, is left, as indicated. A cast-metal base, F, is provided, and a top, G, of similar material.

As I claim nothing peculiar in thepot-holcs or manner of heating them, they do not appear in the drawings.

Perforated pipes II arelocated in the bottom of the oven 15, and a perforated pipe, I, is located near the top of the oven B, imme diately below the deflectingplate D. These pipes H and I are suitably connected to the gasmain, and are provided with such cocks as may be necessary to properly regulate the supply of gas to be admitted into them. On either side of the oven A, I form, within the jacket E, passage-ways J, leading from the top of the oven 13 to a point near the top of the oven A. The heat created by the burning gas which escapes through the perforations in the pipes H and I is conveyed through the pas- (No model.) Patented in Canada June 3, 1887, No. 26,837.

sage-ways J into the chamber J, from which it finally escapes through the pipe K. By th s arrangement the heat from the burning gas 1S fully utilized.

\Vithin the space L at the rear of the stove I arrange a coil of water-pipes, M, through which water is caused to circulate in the usual manner. At the bottom of the space L, I place a perforated pipe, N, which is supplied with gas in the same manner as the pipes H and I. When the gas escaping from the pipe N is lighted; the heat within the space L is very intense. Consequently the water passing through the pipes M is soon heated.

In practice I do not find that it is neces sary to keep the gas from the pipe N constantly lighted, as the heat which radiates from the sides of the ovens A and B is sufficient to keep the water in the pipes M moderately hot. In order that the air in the space surrounding the ovens A and B may be kept in circulation, I perforate the sides of the passage-ways J, and in order to increase the ra diating surface in the space L,I place on either side of the pipes M the corrugated deflectingplates 0.

What I clain as my invention is 1. The combination, with the oven A, of the oven B, the plate C, separating said ovens and preventing communication therebetween, the perforated gaspipe in the oven 13 in prox- 'imity to said plate, and the passage-ways J,

connecting the top of the oven B with the top of the oven A,the jacket E, and the gasjet arranged in the space between said jacket and the oven B, and the coil M above said gasjet, substantially as described.

2. The ovens A and B, connected together by the passage-ways J, in combination with the plate 0, separating said ovens, the perfo rated gas-pipe below said plate, and the deflecting-plate D, located at the top of the oven B in proximity to said perforated gas-pipe, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

The ovens A B and the plates C separating them, combined with the passage-ways J, connecting said ovens, the perforated pipes H, arranged around the bottom of the oven B, and the perforated pipe I, arranged near the top of said oven, and both connected Withasuit- D, attached to the bottom of said plate 0 able source of supply, substantially as and for above the pipe I, substantially as described.
