STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 659,471, dated October 9, 1900.

Application filed December 14. 1899. Serial No. 740,273. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Beitknown that we, GEORGE E. FEENEY and JoNns E. SoHRoYER, of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Stove; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer to like parts.

This invention relates to a stove or furnace wherein a novel feature consists in the arrangement and construction'of parts rthat enables either coal or natural gas, or both simultaneously, to be burned in the stove. Where the pressure of natu ral gas is not great enough to supply the necessary heat in cold weather, it is desirable to use coal along with it or to use natural gas tor a portion of the year and coal in eXtreme cold weather. To that end in this invention a ring-shaped gas-burner is employed that is set loosely upon the upper end of the fire-pot, and the gas-outlets from said burner are all downwardly extending.

Another feature consists in so placing said ring-shaped burner with relation to the maga- Zine ot' the stove that the coal will not pile upon the burner.

With such construction and arrangement coal and natural gas can be simultaneously used without any inconvenience or either one can be separately used, the downwardly-extending gas-ports from the burner will not become choked with ashes, nor will ashes till the burner, also, the ilame from the burner will be directed d'own against the wall of the fire-pot and against the body of the coal until it strikes the upward draft through the central portion of the stove, when it will turn upward, thus diffusing itself through the coal and mixing with the air and gases in the stove and promoting better combustion of the coal and complete combustion of the air and gases.

The full nature of our invention will appear from the accompanying drawings and the description following of one form of device embodying our said invention, and the scope of said invention will be understood from the Iclaims following said description.

of Fig. 3. burner.

In detail the form of the invention as herein shown includes a base l, supported on suitable legs'2, upon which rests the ash-pit 3, provided with a grate L A fire-pot 5 is provided within the shell and maybe in any t'orm desired. The shell 6 extends above said tire-pot, and from its upper end the coalmagazine 7 depends.

8 is a removable top that closes the coalmagazine.

The form and construction of the portion of the stove so far described may be any that is desired, as it is immaterial to this invention.

Upon the upper end of the tire-pot there is placed a ring-shaped gas-burner 9, whose eX- ternal diameter is such as to enable it to t snugly within the shell 6 and rest loosely upon the top of the tire-pot 5, wherebyit can be readily removed by lifting it out of place. Said gas-burner is preferably formed of two semicircular halves connected bythe bolts 10, and the gas outlets or ports ll from the burner are on the under side, extending downward vertically. Said burner is placed at such distance below the magazine that the coal dropping from the 'magazine into the fire-pot will not cover the gas-burner, but will fall through the ring-shaped burner and below it. This gives free play to the flames from the gasburner upon the body of the coal below. Thus arranged the ames will shoot downward against the tire-pot and the body of the coal until they come in contact with the draft up through the stove, which will turn the natural-gas flames upward through the coal. Any means for supplying gas to said burner under pressure may be employed; but that here shown consists of the pipe l2 from some supply of gas, having on its end the mixer 13, that causes both air and gas to pass through the pipe 14, which is inserted, preferably, through a mica opening in the stove and turned downward, entering the upper side of the gas-burner. This arrangement provides convenient entrance for the gas-supply pipe without its coming up through the stove or interfering with the ash-pit and enables the gas to be introduced above the fire-pot. This Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the gas IOO burner can be applied to any heating` or cooking stove or furnace or other heat-ing apparatus, and it. can be truly circular, rectangular, 0r of other form, so long` as it extends about on top of the fire-pot, and is open to admit coa-l to be used as conveniently as if the gasburner were not in the stove.V

The stove herein Shown is an updraft-stove provided with a suitable flue 15.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' 1. The combination with a stove or furnace provided with a suitable fire-pot, of a gasburner extendingr along` and resting'upon the upper edge of the firepot with outlet-ports on the under side thereof, and means for supp lyitrgr gas t-o Said burner.

2 The combination with a stove provided with a suitable fire-pot. and a coal-magazine, of a gashurner extending along and mounted above the fire-pot and in such relation to the lower end of the coal-magazine that. the coal therefrom will not cover the gas-burner, and means for introducing gas into said burner.

3. The combination with a stove provided with a suitable tire-pot, of a gas-burnerextending along and resting upon the upper edge of the fire-pot with outlet-ports therefrom on the under side, and a pipe for` supplyng gas to Said burner from any suitable source of supply that enters the stove above the {ire-pot.

In witness whereof we have hereunto affixed oursignatures in the presence ofthe witnesses herein named.
