SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters P atent No. 663,380, dated December 4, 1900.

Application filed February 5. 190i)r Serial No. 4,072. (No model.)

To all w'w'nz it 77u03/ concern:

Be it known that l, VILLIAM YOULTEN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 159 Victoria streetVestminster, London, England, have invented lmprovements in Stoves for Heating Purposes, (for which l have made application for a patent in Great Britain, No. 14,292, dated the llth day of July, 1899,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a stove which shall efficiently heat an apartment by the consumption either of gas or of coal, wood, or other fuel, as may prove most desirable, having regard to the circumstances attending its use'for warming purposes-6. g. the temperature or length of time on any given day or night during which it may be desired to keep the fire burning. According to one way of effecting this object I construct the stove, which may be of any desired shape, in such a way that it may be readily rotated about a vertical axis by means of suitablyplaced t-op and bottom pivots, as hereinafter described.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings,in which the same parts are designated by the same characters of reference throughout the several views.

Figure l represents a central vertical section of a stove constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 represents a horizontal section of the same, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section through the lower part of the fireplace and the gaspipe, showing the base, frame, and lower pivot-pin in plan. Fig. 4 represents a horizontal section taken on the line 4 4 through the upper part of the fireplace, showing the top of the stove in plan. Fig. 5 represents a central vertical section of another form of stove with my invention applied thereto; and Fig. 6 represents a horizontal section of the same, taken on the line 8 S of Fig. 7.

On a suitable base-plate d I mount the sto ve so as to rotate about a vertical axis by providing strong bottom and top pivots b and c. The bottom pivot b, fitted in the base-plate a, I make hemispherical in shape at the top, so as to work in a strong cup-socket d. The top pivot c enters a soot guard-plate e., horizontally covering the chimney-opening', except for an aperture therein which affords a comm unication with the ilue g from either the gas or coal grate, as hereinafter referred to. The surroundings of the pivot c are protected by a socket-coverf, screwed over the top of the pivot c through to the upper surface of the soot guard-plate e.

The stove is divided into two grat-es 7L and z', one of the grates, 7t,being intended for coal or other fuel and the other, z', for gas. The gassupply is taken preferably over or under the hearth to a point adjoining the pivot b. It is then conveyed to an aperture m in the latter. When the stove is in the position shown at Fig. l, where the stove is represented as it would appear when the grate h for coal or other fuel is facing the room, the aperture m comes opposite a hole la in the circular socket d, which hole lt communicates with the pipe leading to the Bunsen burner or burners n, intended for lighting the coal or other fuel in the grate h. These burners are close under the bar or bars o of the grate, the bars projecting sufficiently on either side of the burners to prevent dust or ashes from entering such burners. z shows another hole in the circular socket d. When the stove is rotated so that the gas ire faces the room, this hole e comes opposite the aperture m. Thus gas is supplied to the burners of the gas lire. y is the bottom plate of the revolving stove.

Communication between the two grates and the flue is automatically effected or prevented by providing in the soot guard-plate e an aperture p of a size snfcient to enable the smoke from the coal fire or the fumes from the gas-stove Lo ascend into the line g. In the top pivot-plate q, which is secured to the upper part of the revolving portion of the stove, two apertures r and s are formed, corresponding in size and form to that above referred to in the soot guard-plate e. These two apertures are respectively placed directly over the coalgrate and the gas fire. Thus when the former faces the room the smoke-aperture r in the top pivot-plate q is immediately under the aperture p in the soot guard-plate e, thereby affording a direct communication for the smoke to ascend into the flue g, while the aperture s for the emission of fumes from the gas-grate is beneath the soot guard-plate e, thus preventing any communication between the gas- IOO stove and the Iiue and consequently prevent-` ing a fall of soot or mortar into the gas-stove. When the positions of the stoves are reversed, the apertures above them are likewise reversed.

In order to prevent heat from the gas fire igniting the coal in the coal-grate when this latter is not in use, I provide a fire-clay partition #between the two stoves, in the center of which partition is a hollow space which may be filled in with a thickness of asbestos or other material which is a non-conductor of heat.

I may provide sliding screens which draw ont of the wall to inclose the stove and act as blowers when required. These screens are not shown on the drawings.

I hinge the cheeks' u, of the stove and form rabbets between them and the rotating portion of the stove, so that no draft may pass around the stove. These hinged cheeksu may also be employed as screens when desired by swinging them outward into the room. Even in this case no draft will pass; as the soot guard-plate prevents it.

I prefer to make the grate for coal or other uel larger and deeper than that for the gas Y By a few modifications of the details above described the stove can be as conveniently fitted in a casing to form a close stove, which usually stands wholly or partially clear of the chimney-opening or fireplace. Figs. 7 and 8 show my invention applied'to a stove of this description, Fig. 7 being a vertical section and Fig. 8 a sectional plan taken on the line 8 8 of Fig. 7. In this case the whole stove rotates on the pivots b and c. l is a waterchamber provided with apertures 2 for the escape of steam. 3 represents columns for supporting the upper portion of the stove.

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

1. In a stove, the combination with a structure comprising a grate for burning hard fuel,

a grate for burning gas, a partition between the two grates, a flue communicating with one of the said grates, and a bottom plate having gas-pipes leading to each of the said grates, of a pivot-pin supporting said bottom plate, the structure being arranged to rotate upon the said pivot-pin to bring one or the other of the said gratos into communication with the said flue, and means whereby the rotation oi' the grates will cause the gas to be admitted to the grate which is in communication with the Hue, substantially as described.

2. In a stove, the combination with a structure comprising a grate for burning hard fuel, a grate for burning gas, and a partition between the two grates; of pivot-pins supporting the said structure, a gas-vent in one of the said pivot-pins and means for conducting gas to the said vent, a gas-pipe cominunicating with each of the said grates, and arranged to register with the said vent when that particular grate is in operation, substantially as described.

3. In a stove, the combination with a structure comprisingagrate for burning hard fuel, a grate for burning gas, a partition between the two grates, a top plate having openings therethrough for the escape of the products of combustion, and a bottom plate having gaspipes leading to each of the said grates; of a pivot-pin supporting the top plate, a pivot-pin having a gas-vent therethrough supporting the lower plate, the said structure, being arranged to rotate upon the said pivot-pins to bring one or the other of the grates to the front, and at the same time to cause the gaspipe to that grate to register with the vent in the lower pivot-pin, and means for conducting gas to the said vent; substantially as described.
