' flue and grate, so combined as to increase the efficiency and convenience of the stove.

, In the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1, is a plan of a cooking stove'or range furnished with my improvements; Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same; Fig. 3, a section of Fig.

1 on line 1-1-2 Fig. 4:, a front elevation of part of the stove, the front wall being partly broken away to show the dust flue and damper; Fig. 5,a plan of' the damper, and Fig. 6,

a perspective view of the plate I) and its connected parts.

A is a range or stove. B the fire pot. O the front wall of the stove. D the top. E a dust flue between the front wall of the stove and the firepot.. F a damper adapted to close the flue E. G an operating handle attached to damper F and which passes through front wall 0 and by means of which the damper may be operated. H a door in the front wall of the stove which isopened when it is necessary to rake the stove with a poker. The normal position of the damper is that shown by the full lines in the drawings, that is, extending from side to side of and closing the fine E so as to prevent the draft from passing through this flue.

When it is necessary to rake the stove with a poker the door H is opened and all the other doors and openings in the stove are closed, the damper F is moved so as to stand vertically, as shown by dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 4, thus opening flue E. Astrong draft passes from outside the stove through door H, up through flue E and across the fire chamber and to the chimney, carrying with it all the dust that may have been made by raking the fire, and effectually preventing the escape of any of this dust through door H to the, room in which the stove is placed. The sides of the flue E are formed by projections a, a, Fig. I

so that the flue is wider at its bottom than at.

its top in order to produce a better draft.

I is a grating that covers the top of flue E and prevents coal, &c., from falling into this flue, this grating forms part of the casting of plate I).

K is a cover or door which closes part of the front of the flue E. This cover or door may be removed or opened to adjust or replace the damper F should any accident happen to it. y

In the drawings I have shown the range furnished with an oval fire chamber B the major axis of which is parallel to that side of the range upon which is the oven door, instead of at right angles as is the usual construction. Afire chamber arranged in this manner gives the attendant better access to the fire and to the ovcnthan one arranged in' the'usual manner in broiling large articles, a

largefish for example, it allows the handle of the gridiron to project out at right angles to the front of the range where it can be much more readily handled than if it projected out from the side of the range, and this is particularly true when the rear part of the range projects into a recess or is bricked into a wall, in which case the operator cannot stand at the side of the range but must stand at its front and reach forward to grasp the handlesa grated lip extending from said plate I) to wall through which access may be had to said said front wall, projections a, at, extending flue and damper. from said plate I) to said front wall, said projections being farther apart at their bottoms JAMES SPEAK 5 than at their tops and forming with the plate \Vitnesses:

within said fine E, and a door K in the front D. S. GABEL.
