JAMES c. cooHRANE, oF ROCHESTER, NEW Yoeri.'

HEATlNG-STOVE.

Specification forming part of Lettera Patent No. 52,535, dated February 13, 1866.

To all whom tt may concern Be itkuown that I, Janes O. COCHRANE, ol the city ot' Rochestertcounty of Monroe and State ot'l N ew York, have invented a new and struct a partition, a', between the tire and thev tine, and in an aperture ot' this partition, b, I insert one or more thicknesses ot' wire-cloth or tinely-pert'orated metal. It' the tire-chainber 1s not too large, t he partition may be wholly constructed ot' this material; but it` so large that the gas would escape without burning,

then lthe partition ,should be in part ot' solidmaterial. The space thus partitioned ottl communicates with the tlue or chimney e, so that the drat't trom the tire in passing to the tine goesthrough the perforated metal.

The llame pressed against the wire and 4drawn partially through by the air-current is retained by the wire and the gases carried with ,the air into the tlames are consumed in stead ot' escaping" up the chimney'.

Above the wire-cloth, (or, 1t' the partition is wholly of this material, in the upper part thereo) and communicating wit-h the space partitioned olf, d, which I call the air-cham` ber, 1 have an aperture, e, closing with a damper, f, to be used when a greater draft is de. siredl than that, passing through the wire. The texture ot' the \\'irecloth will depend upon the draft, size ot' the furnace, &c., but should be close enough to prevent the body ofthe anie from passing through.

The air-chamber thus partitioned ott'desceuds to the bottom ot' the stove, communieating with two horizontal tlues, G G,.extend lng under and at each side ofthe lire, opening to the air at the front and closed with slides h It. These ues may have a. higher relative position, if desired. and there may lbe one or l more of them, and instead ot' being horizontal they may rise perpeudicu'larly at the side ot' the air-chamber communicating with it at the bottom, the object being` to have a current of air tlowing in upon the tire, passing through the wire-cloth into the air-chamber and from the air-chamber into thel room. It is better to have the air go from thel bottom ot the airchamber rather than the top, as it will be purer.

neyj.

Now, when the tire is so burning as to consume. all the gases with the damper f closed, close else thel damper in the chimney 'j'and open the slides ot' the horizontal tlues 71. h. There will then be a current ot` air tlowing in vthe air-chamber, and circulating; through the llues, all the heat being 'retained in the room and none passing up the chimney. This can only be used in `the way described in connectionwiththe hist-described invention and as used with or withoutthe last arrangement.

so as to vallow a free passage otA air under and through the tire, and also construct air-pask /c k lr, so that the air will rise up at the side ot` the wire and supply the tiame; but I claim nothing for this or the tire-bed.

Z is an opening for the passage ot` air under the hre. m is the door. l

v\Vhat I claim as my invent-ion, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is theI following improvements: o

The air-chamber, rated metal facing the ytire and so near igt-that gas passing through will be ignited, and through which the draft from the h're will tlues communicating between thc air-chamber and the air ot' the room, the whole constructed as and yfor the purposes above described.

There is also a damper inthe pipeor chim- I Vupon the tire, passing through the wire into` a depein'lentpart thereof; but the tirst maybe v I construct the tire-bed in the ordinary way' sages beyond the tire between it and the wire with wire-cloth or perfopass, and with horizontaler perpendicular
