WILLIAM L. MCDOWVELL, OF LOWER MERION, PENNSYLVANIA.

COOK-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 478,807, dated July 12, 1892. Application filed February 23, 1892. Serial No. 422,389. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. MoDoWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lower Merion, county of State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Cook- Stoves, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of improvementsin the construction of a cook-stove, whereby certam parts within the same may be displaced in a most convenient manner without loosening the rods or removing the stove or taking it off of its feet.

Figure 1 represents a top view of a cookstove embodying my invention, the collarplate being shown separated and other plates removed, showing the interior of the stove. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of a portion thereof on line a: at, Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and 4 represent side elevations of portions of the Figs. 5 and 6 represent horizontal sections showing the damper and its supports.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a cook-stove embodying myinvention,the same having a collar-plate B, flue-strips O and C, damper D, a top oven-plate E, front ovenplate F, and fire-plate G. The collar-plate B 1s formed with openings H, whereby it may be bolted to the ears Jon the top of the stove. The flne-strips are retained in position by the lugs K on the stove-body. The damper D has one of its journals L fitted in the opening M of the flue-strip O, and the other jour: nal N passes through the open slot P of the flue-strip O and has its bearings in the wall Q of the stove, it being noticed that, owing to said open slot P, the flue-strip C may be raised clear of the journal N when removal of said strip is desired.

The top oven-plate E is formed in sections, which are connected by screws or bolts B, it being noticed that said plate is supported on lugs or flanges S on the. stove-body, the rear end of said plate E being grooved, as at T, and resting upon the top of the rear ovenplate U. The front oven-plate F rests on the Montgomery, and.

bottom'wall V of the stove and is fitted between lugs or flanges W and has at its upper end the shoulder Y, on which is supported the front end of the top oven-plate.

The fire-plate G rests upon the wall V and against the oven-plate F and has at its upper end a flange Z, which embraces the upper edge of the front of the top oven-plate E, it being noticed that said end is retained between the fiange Z and shoulder Y. The wall V is formed with a shoulder V, which prevents forward motion of the lower end of the fire-plate, and consequently of the frontovenplate.

The fire-brickrests against the plate G, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2.

When it is desired todisintegrate the interior of the stove, the collar-plate B is removed, after which the flue-strip O is withdrawn and the damper manipulated so as to withdraw the journal L from the flue-strip O and the journal N fromthe plate Q. (See Fig. 5.) The fire-brick and the fire-plate are now withdrawn and the top oven-plate separated and its sections removed, leaving the front ovenplate F accessible, so that it may also be removed. The rear oven-"plate U may alsobe removed, if desired, it being noticed that the interior of the stove has been disintegrated Without loosening the rods, disturbing the position of thestove, or taking it off its feet.

It is evident that the invention is equally applicable to ranges.

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

1. In a cook stove or range, a removable collar-plate, in combination with removable flue-strips and damper, a removable fire-plate, and removable top and front oven-plates, substantially as described.

2. In a cook-stove, a stove-body with lugs on its inner side, a sectional top oven-plate resting on said lugs and having groovesat its rear end receiving the top of the rear ovenplate, said parts being combined substantially as described.

3. In a cook-stove, an oven having a bottom plate with flanges, a sectional top plate with a groove on one end, a rear plate with top fitting in said groove, and a plate restingon the bottom wall of the stove and having a shoulder on its upper end supporting one end of the top plate, said parts being combined substantially as described.

4:. In a stove, a fire-plate resting on a wall of an oven-plate and having a flange at its upper end embracing an end of the top wall of the oven, said fire-plate having its lower end on thebottom wall of the stove, said bottom wall having a flange bearing against the 10 lower edge of said fire-plate, said parts being combined substantially as described.
