JAMES BARRON, OF PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

GALLEY OR COOKING-STOVE FOR SHIPS OF WAR, &c.

Specification of Letters Patent N0. 422, dated October 6, 1837.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES BARRON, of the county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Galley or Cooking-Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

Figure 1, is a front view of my galley, the blower being removed for the purpose of exhibiting the grate O, which may be made of cast iron, the front and bottom being separate, and removable at pleasure, so that wood may be substituted as fuel. B, I", B, are ovens, inclosed by doors, and furnished with suitable shelves for baking, there being a fine behind and above them, leading to the stove pipe, or fine K. The bottoms of these ovens are exposed to the direct action of the fire. B, B, are side ovens which may be attached at pleasure, by means of clasps or hooks to the side plates of the galley, which form the oven backs, they not having any other back plate; they are furnished with shelvesthe dotted lines show the place of one of them, at B, Fig. 2; and the top plate is seen at B, Fig. 3. The side and back plates and other parts of the galley are connected together by a suitable frame F, Figs. 2 and 3, strained or held together by means of rods and nuts, and supporting the legs upon which the whole stands. D, is the hearth, or lower plate of the galley, extending under the whole. Below this there is a drawer, 0r

drawers, Gr, G, serving not only to prevent by the same letters of reference. A, is the part occupied by one of the boilers, which is received within the outer plates of the galley, and is surmounted by a steamer L, placed in the ordinary way over it. There may be two or more of such boilers, ar ranged side by side, as shown in the horizontal section Fig. 3, at A, A, A. The bottoms of these boilers rest upon the hearth D, and their fronts constitute the back of the fire place, the fuel being in immediate contact with them.

To carry off the vapors I employ a hood, or canopy O, which is supported upon rods, and has the smoke pipe, K, passing through it, and is perforated with holes at N, to allow the steam to pass into it. From the edges of the canopy, a curtain may extend down a little'below the tops of the cooking vessels.

VVit-hout intending to confine myself to anyparticular size or dimensions, the scale on Fig. 3, will show what I deem a good proportion for the respective parts in a galley of the ordinary dimensions.

What I claim as my invention, and wish.

for baking, which receive their heat from.

the outer plates of the galley, as set forth. 3. I claim the movable grate to enable. me to snstitute wood for coil.

l. I claim, likewise, the employment of a drawer or drawers, in the manner and for.

the purpose explained, and also the construction and application of the canopy.

JAMES BARRON.
