COOKING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 662,326, dated November 20, 1900.

Application led October 7, 1899.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED SAVILL TOM- KINS, a citizen of England, residing at-Holmwood, Caterham, 'in the county 0f Surrey,

England, have invented certain new and use'- ful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves, (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain,dated September l5, 1899,No. l8,68l,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved construction of cookingstoves, which I will describe with' reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l. shows a part sectional plan on the lines A B C D D; Fig. 2, a part side view and part longitudinal section on the lines E F G H I J; Fig. 3, a front View; Fig. 4, a cross-section, the left half on line K L, right half onA line M M. Figs. 5 and 6 are front and side Views, respectively, of the plate K; and Figs. 7 and 8 show a part longitudinal and part cross-section taken, respectively, on the lines O O and Q R of a modified construction of stove.

The cooking-stove is somewhat similar in construction to the, portable cooking-stove described in the specification toBritish Patent No. 2,410, of 1896, in that there are two rows of metal ovens arranged one on each'side of a central fireplace and flue; but the present construction is considerably modified in that the flames and hot gases are first made to pass from the furnace into flues running underneath each row of ovens and then into a fine between the two rows, so as to afford a more perfect utilization of the heat than in the previous construction, where, for the sake of portability, there was only provided a single middle flue between the two rows of ovens.

On each side of the furnace A is built a brickwork structure B B, in which are formed longitudinal flues C C, with the front end of which the furnace A communicates through lateral openings D D,while the rear ends communicate by side openings E E with a central flue F, leading to the chimney G. The brickwork forming the fines C C is open at top, the

fines being closed in by the bottoms of the sena No. 732,950. No maar -of the fire-place A is separated from the mid.-

dle fiue F by a fire-brick partition J, and the top is also closed in by a fire-brick slab I2. 6o The two sets of ovens H H are secured in position at each end by plates K K, these plates being formed with slotted holes, as shown, the enlarged lower ends of which are adapted to fit over studs L, fixed on the ends of the ovens, so that when the plates K K are slightly lowered the studs are secured in the narrow part of the slots. The front plate K also serves to form the front wall of the upper part of the furnace and is lined inside with a fire-brick slab. The rear plate K serves to close the read end of the middle flue E.

The metal chimney-flue G is fixed to the top ofthe front part of the flue E, and an inclined plate M is fixed in the latter, extending from the line-openings E up to just below the flue G, so as to effectually lead the draft up to the latter.

Access is gained to the flues C C through soot-doors N. The furnace-door O is hung with its hooked upper end upon a bar P, that is pivoted to the one row of ovens H and is -hook'edinto a loop on the other row, as at Fig. 3, so that the door can be slid sidewise on such bar. The two rows of ovens H are constructed similar to those described in the specification to British Patent No. 2,410 of 1898, each oven being provided with a vertically-sliding door Q.

In some cases I combine a steam-boiler with the above-described cooking-stove, as. shown in the modified construction at Figs. 7 and 8. In this case a part of the brickwork back J of the furnace is replaced by a steam-boiler R, the upper part of which corresponds in Width to the width of the space F between the oven H, while the lower part is widened, so as to project under the ovens, so as to rest on the brickwork B and form part of the sides of the Y ues C. The steam is taken off by a pipe S to wherever required.

T is the water-supply pipe.

Having thus described the nature of this invention and the best means I know of carrying the same into practical eect, I claim- 1. A cooking-stove consisting of two ranges of metal ovens mounted on each side of a furnace upon horizontal ues communicating at one end with the furnace and at the other end with a middle Hue formed by an inclined plate introduced between the two rows of ovens and extending from the far ends of the iues to the chimney at the front part of the stove, the two sets of ovens being connected together at the ends by plates with slotted holes fitting on studs on the end surfaces of the oven, substantiallyT as described.

2. In a cooking-stove, the combination of two ranges of metal ovens, a furnace between said ranges, iues extending from said furnace underneath each range of ovens and communicating at the rear end with a ne formed by introducing' an inclined plate between the two ranges of ovens and extending from the said rear end to the chimney at the front part of the stove, a boiler forming the back of the furnace, and plates with slotted holes fitting on studs on the ends of the ovens for tying them together,'substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ALF. SAVILL TOMKINS.
