IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING-STOVES.

TO ALL WIIOM IT M AY CON CERN:

Be it known that I, CnAnLns II. BUCK, of the city and county of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a new and improved Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section of the stove.

Figure 2 is a vertical section through the stove, taken from front to rear thereof.

Figure 3 is a front elevation of the stove, with the upper jacket removed.

Figure 4 isa horizontal section through the upper jacket, taken at a point which is above the inner dome or iue.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingr parts in the several figures.

The object of'my invention is to eteet a more complete and economical consumption of fuel by constructing a coal-stove in such manner that its fire-chamber shall be capped with a contracted dome or flue, which is enclosed vby the outer jacket et' the stove in such manner that the products of combustion are compelled to ascend to A the top ot' the stove, and thence to descend around said dome before they are allowed to escape into the exitiuc, thereby subjecting the smoke and gases to such an intense degree of heat as to cii'cct their combustion within the steve, as will be 'hereinafter described.

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

In the accompanying drawings A represents the ash-chamber, and B the re-pet, which latter is enclosed by an annular chamber, C, the walls of which are perforated for the admission of air around the tire-pot and through it. D is the grate, which may be made in any suitable manner, and E is an opening through which the fuel is introduced into the iire-pot. Above the ire-pot B is the upper section F of the stove, which is closed at its top by a plate, G, and which forms a chamber through whichv the products of combustion are caused to circulate before they are allowed to escape from the exit pipe II. Within the upper section F ofthe stove there is ademe, G', which may be made in the forrn of the frustum of a cone, as shown in figs. I, 2, and 3, and terminated at its upper end by a small flue,l a, which is carried up nearly to the cap-plate G. This conical section G( is mounted upbn the top plate of the fire-pot B, and the passage E, through which fuel is supplied .to the stove, is made thriourgh one side of said section. I thus form an ascending flue and also a descending iiue within tile'upper section F of the stove, through which fines the products ot' combustion are caused to pass on their way to the exit-iliy.1c, as illustrated by the arrows in ifig. 3. When fire is made in the iire-pot D the products of combustion risc i'iito the conical section G, where theyimpingc upon its inclined walls and heat them very hot. These` walls deflect the products of combustion inward, and thus, te some extent, retard their upward passage.

At the same time air is allowed to enter the tire-chamber in a heated state through the walls ofthe fire-pot, and

to commingle with the products of combustion, thus causing a combustion of the smoke and gases as they slowly risc from the conical section G through the flue a. After esca-ping into the chamber outside of the section G the top pla-te G dir'ccts the smoke and gases which have not been consumed downward and around the iiue a and cone G', whcrcthey are again caused to impingc upon these highly-l1eated plates before thcv are allowed to escape through the flue II. t

By thus construlpting a stove i//will be seen that I ob' ain the benefit of a downward draught after the products of4 combustion liave ascended to the top plate of the stove, and at the same time dispense with lues, which require frequent cleaning. The products of'combustion, in rising from the fire-pot, are caused to form an eddy, and to remain for a sinilicient length of time under the iniiuence of a high degree of heat and a supply of air from below to eii`ect their eonrbustionrafter which they are subjected to the opposite side of the ascending fine and dome or cone. elevating the ire-chamber B D above the middle plate of the part A ot' the stove, a deep lowerchambcr with but a single wall is formed, and thus, by conduction, the heatfrom thc upper part of the stove will be made to keep said lower part of the stove very het and comfortable to those in the house. And by enclosing the ellcvated iireehamber with a perforated jacket, an air-chamber, C, is formed, and thus the fire-pot along its whole depth and surface' is preserved from teo rapid burning out by red heat. rl`he air at the samt` time is made available for promoting combustion just above the mass of red-hot coals, it being admitimm o the terminus ef the iii-ini Cyiintiril USM-irl lit' cenit'. n shnmz. n grn'inni :in'i enf wipe of' the grueir proth ucts nf Comhwtiiin tzih phite. :ifvr their .firm-5r .finti peifitt ignition through :ne agency of' the enne htnnl :intl the infion'in; nxygi-n hiwc been (-eetwl.
