HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters ratent No. 508,794., dated November 14, 1893.

Applicationfild June 26,1898. Serial No. 4978,787- (No model.)

Be it known that I, JAMES WILsON, of the city of Columbia, county of Boone, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

Myinvention relates to an improved heatin g. stove, and consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement'ofparts hereinafter specified and pointed out in the claims.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved stove which shall be very efficient and economical in operation, of low cost, and which shall be devoid of draft openings in its lower portion, and in'which the draft opening and the damper therefor shall be located at or adjacent the top of the stove and remote from the fire.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a sectional sideelevation of a stove embodying my invention. same. Fig. 3 is a detail View in perspective of the combined draft damper and fuel-door. Fig. 4 is a sectional top plan view, with parts broken away, and with the cover swung around.

1 indicates the body of the stove, or the outer casing thereof, which is preferably made of sheet-iron, although it may be made of cast metal, so that the stove will be oblong or elliptical in planview. This outer casing has vertical walls and a bottom 2 provided with suitable supporting legs 3 and a top 4 having suitable openings 5 in which cooking utensils may be placed when the stove is used as a cook-stove, and a vertical pipe thimble 6 projecting from the top adjacent the rear end of the stove.

7 indicates. a conical or dished-top, which is preferably made of cast iron, with ornamental openings oroutlinesS formed therein. This top is provided with a circular opening 9 at a point adjacent its rear end which engages the exterior of the thimble 6, and forms a sort of hinge upon which the top may be turned, and swung around 01f of the top of Fig. 2 is a front end elevation of' the stove, as indicated in Fig. 4, said pipe thimble being of extra vertical length to enable it to act as such. The top 7 is provided 11 indicates an inner lining for the stove; which is preferably made of corrugated sheet metal plates having a width corresponding to the height of the stove between its bottom 2 and top at, and extendingcompletely around the interior of the stove, with the corrugations 12 of said plates arranged vertically with relation to the stove, thereby forming a series of vertical separate air spaces 13 between the inner liningand the outer casing.

Formed upon or secured to the front end of the stove is a vertical draft passage 14 having an open upper end and a closed lower end, the upper end opening 'at a point a short distance below a fuel opening 15, which is formed partly in the top t and partlyin the front wall of the stove. The swinging-top 1s of such size as to overlap the portion of the fuel-opening 15, which is formed in the top of the stove. Said swinging-top also overlaps a portion of the combined draft-damper and fuel-door hereinafter mentioned, whereby a very complete and finished construction 1s provided.

16 indicates a series of small openings or passages formed in the front wall of the stove and connecting the interior'of the draft passage 14 with the interior of the stove at a point adjacent the lower end of saidpassage and adjacent the bottom of the stove.

17 indicates a combined draft damper and fuel door which is provided with a horizontal top 18 and a front 19 which is curved to fit the front of the stove and depends from the horizontal top 18 a sufficient distance to cover the portion of the fuel opening which is formed in said front. The horizontal top 18 of the door is of sufficient area or size to cover a portion of the draft opening 15 which is in the top of the stove. Formed upon or socured to the front 19 of the door is a draft passage 20 the walls of which in cross-section correspond to the cross-section of the draft of the stove adjacent the bottom thereof, for

passage 14 of the stove. These draftpassages I may term draft pipes andI may term the portion which is fixed to the stove, the lower section, and the portion which is fixed to the door, the upper section of the draft-pipe. The upper section 20 of the draft pipe projects below the lower edge of the front 19 of the door, and overlaps the exterior of the lower section 14, so that when the door isclosed, a continuous draft passage is formed in a vertical line from the bottom of the stove to the top thereof. The upper and lower ends of the upper section are normally open.

21 indicates suitable hinges by means of which the door 17 is hinged to the front of the stove, so as to swing around in a horizontal plane, as shown in Fig. 4.

22 indicates a suitable latch or fastening for said door, which may be of any common form, as may also the hinges.

2.3 indicates a damper, which is adapted to close and open the upper section of the draft passage or tube. This damper is preferably arranged to slide from left to right. I here show it pivotally connected by means of a rivet or bolt 24 to the top 18 of the door, so

as to be swung around in a horizontal plane and cover or uncover the upper end of the upper section 20 of the draft pipe.

25 indicates a suitable foot rest, which is secured in a horizontal position upon one side the well known purpose.

26 indicates an opening formed in the bot tom 2 of the stove adjacent the front thereof, through which ashes may be removed and dropped into a pan set beneath said open- 1 ing. This opening is normally closed by a sliding plate 27 which is mounted in suitable guides 28. v

The damper 23 is provided with a suitable knob or handle 29 by means of which it may be manipulated. The latch 22 of the door is also provided with a suitable knob or handle 30 by means of whichit may be manipulated in opening and closing the door.

It will be observed that all draft to the stove is taken from above, and as there are no draft openings below a perfectly tight stove is provided. The draft regulating damper being above the fire enables the operator to control the fire so that it will not die out for a great length of time.

A stove thus constructed will burn wood, straw, and various kinds of trash, and no ashes can drop on the floor. The draft can be regulated without stooping on the part of the operator. g

The corrugated lining makes the stove a very durable one as the vertical air spaces 13 prevent the outer casing of the stove from burning or warping out of shape.

What I claim is 1. The improved stove having a vertical draft pipe 14 provided with an open upper endand a closed lower end, a fuel-opening 15 formed in the upper portion of the stove adjacent the upper open end of said draft pipe, said draft pipe having an opening adjacent its lower end which connects it with the interior of the stove, a-door hinged'to the stoveso as to cover said fuel opening, an upper section 20 of the draft pipe carried by said door and swinging therewith, and a damper also carried by said door and adapted to control the draft through said upper section, substantially as herein specified.
