TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;.

Be it known tlat I, ANTHONY M. DUBURN and JOHN KEITH, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Frames for Supporting Stoves on Vessels; and we do hereby declare that the followingisa full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings and letters of reference marked thereon, making a. part of this specification, in which--Y Figure 1 is a perspective representation of our frame.

Figure 2 is a. plan view of the platform supporting the stove.

The nature of our invention consists in supporting the stove upon a. platform hung upon inclined braces in such n. manner that the stove will. remain in nearly a level position,notwithstanding the lateral roll of the ship lor vessel. By this means the stove will remain in such a position that the cook can perform all ot' the ordinary `ivork ot' cooking during a storm with nearly the same facility as in time ot' a calm, which is not the ease when the stove rests upon any permanent iXture of the vessel. It is well known to seamen and others that the pitch of the vessel does not usually affect the culinary operations of the same, but the roll of the ship in a storm is a. vertT great bar against providing the necessary food for seamen and passengers. We claim that by the useof our invention this diculty is removed at a cost sosmall that no objection can be made to its becoming generally adopted on board ot' ships or water crat't frequently subjected to high seas and rough weather.

A represents the deck upon which our frame rests. B shows the metallic standards inclined inward at the top solas to form a support for the bearings D. attached to the Suspenders G, supporting the platform E, upon which the stove F rests. This platform has the holes G, through which projections on the under side of the stove pass in order to keep the stovein position. It also has the arm H extending outward to the sides ot' the stove `F in order that the ribs I, projecting upward at thevend of the arms, may prevent the stove from becoming 4detached.from the platform E by the motion ot' the vessel.- It is not necessary that the standards B rest upon the deck of the vessel, as they can be inverted and. attached to the timbers over head and yet allow the stove to' have an opposite swinging motion corresponding with the roll ot' the ship; but it is essential that the stove have n suitable platform, similar to Efin order to prevent the sanno `from upsetting when heavy articles are placed on the openings T at either sido of the stove.

Operation: The longitudinal section shown by the-red line XX should correspond with the keel of the ship, in which case the frame supporting the stove will allow the latter to retain a horizontal position, no matter how much the vessel may roll. l

' Having thus fully described our device, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is- I The combination of the standards B, Suspenders C, platform E, and arms H, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
