STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 697,091, dated April 8, 1902.

Application filed June 14, 190].

To aZZ whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLoUeHBY F. KIST- LER, a citizen of the United States,residin g at Burbank, in the county of WVayne and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to cooking-stoves; and it consists in a stove having beneath the top an annular chamber, a passage leading thereto, and a direct flue-opening opposite said passage, whereby a direct or indirect passage of the products may be had and the central portion of the stove-top be exposed directly to the combustion-chamber.

It consists, further, in the addition to the above of a baking-chamber so arranged relatively to the stove that the greater part of the heat may be directed to the stove-top or to said chamber at will.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stove. Fig. 2 is a central verti cal section thereof, and Figs. 3 and 4 are detail perspectives.

A is the stove, having the grate F, the firepot G, the combustion-chamber D, and the top Q. The last-named member has in its center an opening covered by a plate P, within which is a removable lid 0. Below the top is an annular pan-shaped chamber 0, communicating at opposite sides with the combustionchamber G. This annular chamber forms with the stove-top an indirect flue, the products of combustion entering the chamber, where they divide, passing around in each side of the chamber to the opposite part, at which point they preferably join and emerge through a single fiue. Depending from the chamber at the entrance thereto for the products is a guiding-flue J, the length of which depends on the height of the combustionchamber, and partly surrounding said entrance is a grate K, which serves to retard the flame in order to heat that part of the stovetop which is immediately above the said entrance. At the point of exit of the products from the annular chamber is a damper L, lo-' cated between the combustion-chamber and the exit-flue. when said damper is open, di-

rect passage of the products is allowed to the exit-flue, while when that damper is closed Serial No. 64,609. (No model.)

the gases are compelled to pass around in the annular chamber before leaving the stove, thus heating the stove-top more thoroughly than when the direct passage is open.

It will be seen from the foregoing and from Fig. 2 that the shape and disposition of the annular chamber leave a central portion M, which is always exposed directly to the heat of the combustion-chamber, this portion being normally covered by the lid 0.

T is an entrance to the combustion-chamber, as shown in Fig. 1.

The products escaping from the stove need not pass directly to the chimney, and I prefer to attach to the exit-flue of the stove a casing B, in which is contained, for example, an oven 0, spaced on four sides from the walls of the casing to allow passage of the products around the oven.

As shown in the drawings, I use a number of dampers U V W, located between the oven and the casing-wall and in the pipe f, leading to the chimney, to change the course of the products relative to the oven-walls and to regulate their amount.

The oven is shown as supported on a framework Y and as having shelves a b and the oven-casing as having clean-outopeningsde.

The oven and casing need not be above the stove, as shown, but may be located in any convenient or desirable position relative theretom It will be seen that the arrangement of stove, oven, and dampers allows the heat to be largely confined'to the stove-top for cocking material thereon or to be sent directly to one side Z of the oven or around the oven when a relatively large amount of heat is needed for the latter.

Air is fed to the stove in various Ways in addition to that passing through the grate F. A chamber E,fsurrounding the lower portion of the combustion-chamber G, has perforations leading to the combustion-chamber,and air is supplied from without by means of the damper H. Air may also enter through the dampered grating S to complete the combustion of the gases rising from the combustionchamber, and the plate R, which lies immediately above the passage, may be pulled forward about one-sixteenth of an inch. This plate extends to a point beyond the grate K to furnish an additional supply of air at that point. 7

What I claim is- 1. In a stove, a top, an annular pan-shaped smoke-chamber immediately below said top, a direct flue-opening in said chamber pro vided with a damper, an indirect flue-opening in said chamber opposite the first-named opening, a member J forming a passage to the indirect fine-opening, said chamber form ing with the stove-top an annular flue, and leaving the center of the stove-top exposed directly to the heat of combustion.

2. In acombined cooking and baking stove, a top, an annular pan-shaped smoke-chamber immediately below said top, a direct flueopening in said chamber provided with a damper, an indirect fiueopening in said chamber opposite the first-named opening, a member J forming a passage to the indirect flue-opening, said chamberforming with the stove-top an annular flue and leaving the center of the stove-top exposed directly to the heat of combustion, a casing connected to the exit-flue of the stove, an oven in said casing, and a smoke-pipe leading from the casing, whereby the greater part of the heat may be directed to the stove-top for cooking, or to the oven for baking.
