COOKING-STOVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,638, dated October 9, 1866.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL GRAVES, of Seneca, in the county of McHenry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (looking-Stoves, which I propose to call the Frustnm Oool;Stove; and I do hereby declare that the followingis afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, makin g part of this specification.

The figure is a vertical central section of my invention, showing the relative arrangement of the various fines and plates. The arrows indicate the direction of the draft and of the caloric currents.

The nature of this invention consists in such a construction and arrangement of the plates in a base-burning cylinder-stove as to provide a system of griddleholes in the top plate, and also several in the broad annular hearth below and also in converting the space between the top plate and the hearth into a baking or heating oven by sections of reflectors to inclose the said space.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe its construction and operation.

The base-plate A of the stove may be made of cast-iron, and it is provided with a small projecting hearth, J, on one side. To this base-plate is attached, by riveting or otherwise, a frustum-plate, B. To the top of this is locked an inverted frustum, O. In the top of this is placed a firepot, D, which should be cast with three or more lugs or hangers, h, for the support of the primary ash-pan E. F is also an inverted frustum, and upon the top or upper edge of it rests the broad annular cast-iron hearth-plate G, which has a raised center, forming a frustum, and upon the top of it is attached the inverted frust-um H. This constitutes the outer cylinder or casing of the stove, and the top plate, T, rests upon the upper edge of it. This top plate may be provided with four griddlc holes, and, if desired, with the ordinary detachable center pieces.

The base-plate A, hearth-plate G, and the top T, also the fire-pot D and ash-pan E, may

be cast. The otherplates may all be made of sheet-iron, out and formed in the usual way.

The damper or draft-plate d is designed to close the flue through which air is admitted to supply and efiect the combustion, and also through which the ashes may be removed.

The circle of the hearth Gr may be divided by two, three, or more radial plates, extending from the hearth to the top and from the bodyof the stove outward, as indicated by the dotted line N, and each or either of the sections thus formed maybe inclosed by an oven or refiector-case, It, whichjthus provides a complete baking-oven of more than ordinary capacity for such a sized stove.

I would recommend a seven-inch pipe, P, for a stove enlarged about four times from the drawing.

It will be seen that this stove affords a large amount of heating or radiating surface, and

besides being very compact, it affords a remarkably large amount of cooking capacity, as there are four griddles exposed on the top at all times, and when the oven is not in use three or four more in the hearth are rendered available.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination and relative arrange ment of the frustuin plates B, G, F, and H, substantially as herein shown and described, in the formation of cooking-stoves, for the purposes set forth.

2. The broad annular hearth G, when arranged to be heated by the caloric-current passing under it, substantially as and for thelpurposes shown and described.

3. The double frustuni B O, which constitutes the inner draft-tlue and gives a radiating direction to the caloric-current, as shown.

at. The segmental reflector-plates jior cases It, in combination with the frustum-stove, constituting an annular heating or baking oven, as shown and described.
