Across the top of the compartment f is a plate t, which is secured to the partition-plate Z) as well as to the end member w, and this plate i completely covers the compartment 1), as shown in Fig. 4:.
Within the compartment 1) and passing across said compartment are two horizontal plates 2' and 2' which are secured to the par; tition-plates Z2 and b by means of angle-iron brackets or in any other desired manner, and the horizontal plate "L is provided with an opening 2' near the center thereof, which is preferably rectangular in form and which is shown in Figs. 5 and 7, and on the rear and sides of the opening 2' are placed the usual fire-brick 2' 2' and 71 as shown in Figs. etand 5, resting on the top of the plate 1? and extending upwardly slightly beyond the tops of the partition-plates b and b Beneath the plates t adjacent to the opening '2', is a hanger 7a, through which passes one end of a transverse rod the outer end of which passes through an opening k in the front member 00 of the casing a, and the rod 7& is provided at its outer end with ahead 70 provided with a round hole 70 and to the rod 70 and near the center thereof is secured a fire-grate 7a, which is free to swing by means of the rod 70 in the supports of said rod, and the rod k is also capable of lateral movements in said supports in order toshake the said grate, all of which is shown in Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 7.
Beneath the plate i and on the opposite side of the opening 2' is a hanger j, similarto 7s and through which passes a transverse rod 7' which also passes through an openingj in the front member a of the casing a and which is provided at its outer end with a head j, provided with a slotj and secured to the rod j and near the center thereof is an upwardly-directed member j, provided with a transverse groove 7' and the rod j is also provided with a downwardly-directed memberj which serves to keep the memberj always at the top, and the groove 3' is adapted to engage the outer end of the lire-grate 70, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 5, and the construction of the rod 9' and integral parts is clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 7.
Then the fire-grate 70 is in the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 5, it will be readily seen that the coal'burning attachment to my range is ready for use, and beneath the fire-grate 70 and plate 2' is the ash-pit 'm, of which the plate 6 forms the bottom, and above the fire-grate 70, between the fire-bricks i 2', and i is the fire-box m The front member a of the casinga is provided with openings m and m, which open into the ash-pit m and firebox m respectively, and these openings are provided with doors or covers hi and m, respectively. The door m is preferably hinged at one side thereof to the front member a and provided with the usual catch or locking device m The cover m of the opening m is shieldshaped and provided with two backwardly and outwardly directed lugs m and m, which engage the sides of the opening m and the cover m is also provided at its top with an opening at, through which is adapted to pass one of a plurality of outwardlyprojecting spurs 71 secured to the front member a, and the cover 017, may have a handle a by which it may be manipulated, and it will be apparent that by removing the opening at of the cover m from a spur n and giving said cover an inclination to either side the lug m or m" on the opposite side of the cover will become disengaged from the front member a and be readily removed,'and by means of the several spurs n the cover m may be raised to different heights and the ashes removed from the ash-pit m, or it may serve as a draft for the coal-fire box m, and the parts just described are shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
It will be understood that instead of attaching the parts last described directly to the front member a of the casing a they may be attached to a supplemental plate n, which may then be secured over a corresponding opening in the front member a of the casing a, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
lower parts of the compartmentsb and b are closed by means of a plate 0 and asbestos packing 0 which passesentirely across said compartments transversely, as shown in 'Fig. 6, and it will beseen by this construction that these compartments are sealed at their bottom portions. The compartment b is provided with a bottom plate 19, secured to the partition-plates?) and b and these partition-plates b and b are provided about midway between top and bottom with openings 19 andp which open into the compartments 1) and 12 respectively, and these openings extend transversely across the compartments b and 6 as shown in Fig. 6. Just above the openings 19 and p are arranged bracketsp, which support a movable plate or shelf p and just beneath the said openings are a similar pair of brackets 13, which support a removable plate or shelfp and secured to the back member a and extending forwardly to the front member a is a platep which serves as a partition when the plates or shelves p and p are in position, and this plate 19 is provided with projecting members p, which serve to steady it. At any suitable points above the plate 19 pairs of brackets may be arranged to support a shelf or oven-grating 1' and beneath the plate p and near the bottom 19 of the compartment 19 similar brackets r and shelves 1' may be arranged, and directly beneaththe plate 19 is placed awaterpipe r arranged in convolutions and which passes through the rear member a at r and T The front member a is also provided with openings .9, s and .9 provided with doors s 8 and s and the doors 3 and s are preferably hinged at their bottoms to two vertical strips or blocks 25 and 15 secured to the front member a of the casing a, and the openings gives access to that part s of the compartment b which is above the plate 19 and which is the even of my range, while the opening 8 leads to that part of the compartment desig nated s and the opening 5 to the lower part 8 of the compartment b and which is usually employed for slow heating or warming. The
cover or door 3 is detachable from the front member a and is provided at its inner side with laterally-proj ectin g raised plates or lugs 25 and which engage the side of the opening 8 one of which, i is longer than the other, as shown in Fig. 7, and by means of this construction when the cover 8 is forced in the direction of the arm 25 the shorter arm 25 is free to pass the edge of the opening 8 and the cover 8 may be thereby removed. I also provide an openingt in the front member 03, which opens into the compartment b and this opening is provided with a cover t, which is detachable and is constructed similar to the cover 5 and the doors 3 and s are provided, with catches or looking devices 15 and t of any desired construction, as shown in Fig. 1. i
' Secured to the front and end members C112, a and a and near the top thereof area pl'u rality of supports to, which carry a gas-pipe 14 provided with three-Way joints a and u, and by this construction, as shown in Figs.
3 and 4, the gas-pipe 162 serves as a guard-rail ing through the end member a of thecasing a into the said casing above the horizontal partition-platesf and f and at their inner ends are placed gasrburners 12 o, 12 and '0 which may be of any. construction and are adapted to operate beneath openings e 6 ,6 and'e of the top member a, respectively,'as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Connected with the three-way joint a is a downwardly-directed gas-pipe a provided at its lower end with an elbow-joint 3, to which is secured one end of a horizontal gas-pipe it", which is parallel with the front member a of the casing 51, and slightly below the lower edge of the opening 8 and the outer end of the pipe u is preferably closed by a cap 9, as is the end of the pipe u? by a cap 6, and into the inner side of the gas-pipe u I insert a pluralityof smaller gas-pipes 2", 3", 4", and 5", which are provided with the usual valves adjacent to the gas-pipe u and whiehpass through the front member a into the casing a, preferably just below the water-pipe T and the gas-pipes 2", 3", 4:", and 5" are sealed at their outer ends and provided with a plurality of small holes or openings 6", which serve as vents or bu rnersj, and the gaspipe u is supported by a bracket 8, secured to they front member a In connection with the three-way joint a is a small valve 10, adapted to engage one end of a supplemental gas pipe or hose w In Fig.2 I have shownat'w a supplemental gas-burner which I employ having a nozzle'w and secured ,to the bodyportion of said burner are two sets of legs provided IIO each with outwardly-directed feet 10 and the burner to is adapted to be placed within the coal-fire box m and held in position by means of flanges w secured to the sides of the opening m as shown in Fig. 2, and the nozzle 10 is adapted to engage the free end of the supplemental gas pipe or hose 'w as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2.
The door on is preferably hung to a casing 6" instead of to the front member a and the casing 6 is open at the front and back and extends from the front member a to the inner edge of the longitudinal partition-platef and fits into and is secured in the opening 111. of the front member a and the flanges 10 may be secured to the inner side of the casing 6 and near the bottom thereof, as shown in Fig. 2.
Although I have described the spaces 19 and b as compartments, it will be observed that these spaces or compartments serve as fiues for the products of combustion in either passage from the fire-box m around and through the upper portion of the oven, and the horizontal space over the two subdivisions of my improved stove or range also serve as a flue for the-products of combustion from said fire-box.
As hereinbefore stated, my improved range may be used for coal only, gas only, or both coal and gas simultaneousely.
In the event of coal or wood being used as fuel the fire-grate k is forced into a hori zontal position by means of the head k of the bar and is caught and held in this position by the groove Z of the bar Z Fire is then started as usual, and coal may be thrown on the fire through the opening an and easing 6', and in case coal only is to be used and simply for light cooking and not for baking, roasting, or heating water the hinged plate f is raised into the position shown in full lines in Fig. 5 by means of the button f on the front of the range. The heat is then applied directly to the opening 6 and cover 5 thereof, and the products of combustion pass upwardly over the top of the fire-brick i downwardly into the compartment b as the hinge-platef prevents further horizontal movement, and then backwardly and upwardly through the opening a and flue-casing a through the ordinary'stovepipe or similar escape 0 as shown by arrows m and cooking by means of a light coal or wood fire is accomplished.
When it is desired to use coal as fuel for baking, roasting, &c., as well as to heat water, the hinge-platef is turned into a horizontal position, (indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 5.) The plate 19 of the compartment b is removed by first taking ofi the cover 8 as described, which gives access to the plate 19 as shown in Fig. 2, the cover .9 then being replaced. The heat and products of combustion then pass horizontally over the partitionplate 2 down into the compartment b through the opening p in the partition-plate b and into the chambers s and s", which will then be united, and the heat acts on the waterpipes '1 as well as on the plate 19 and heatwaves are thereby induced in the oven 3 the products of combustion meanwhile passing through the opening p in the partition-plate b into the compartment 12 through the opening 0 in the rear of this compartment, and through the flue-casing c and stovepipe 0 as indicated by the arrows 00 It will be apparent that the escape of the products of combustion may be regulated by means of the door 0 of the opening a, manipulated by means of the bar d and handle cl, thereof and the slots d 'of the bar d To produce a more rapid escape of the products of combustion, the cover i of the opening 15 may be removed and air thereby admitted into the compartment b and a greater draft results, and in the event of quick baking or roasting the plate 19 of the oven 8 may be removed, in which case the plates or doors g and g may be opened outwardly, the door g all the way open, so as to touch the partition-plate b while the door g is only partly opened in this operation or need not be opened at all, and the heat and products of combustion then pass upwardly through the opening 9 into the compartment b and out through the stovepipe c and through the opening 9 again entering the compartment b and back through the opening 19 and this operation is indicated by arrows m in Figs. 5 and 6, and, as will be readily seen, articles to be heated slightly or kept warm may be placed in the compartment beneath the plate r and will be protected from gases, smoke, &c., by the plate 1"", and in the operation described boiling and frying may be done over the fire-box m Baking and roasting, warming, and heatin; of water may be accomplished by removing the plate p and leaving the plate 135 in position, and steaming, heating of water, and warming of food may be accomplished by removing both the plate 19 and plate 19 the plate 19 being removed through the opening 3 of the oven 8 When it is desired to use gas for the frying, boiling, stewing, &c., the burners o U6, v and o are used, one, two, three or all of which may be used, and each of' these burners is controlled by the valves of the pipes 12, '0 v and 1;, respectively, and the covers 6, 7 8", and 9 may be removed for the cs- IIO cape of the hot gases of combustion, and the door 72 in the end member a will then be opened, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5, to permit fresh air to enter the casing a to supply the said bnrners, and in this operation the hinged plate f is preferably in a vertical position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 5, and by means of this arrangement both coal and gas may be used for cooking on the top of the range.
If it is desired to use gas for baking, warming, and heating water, the plate 19 Fig. 5, is removed through the opening 8 as heretofore described, the cover 8 being replaced, and by opening the door 3 access is gained to the perforated pipes 2", 3", 4", and 5", each of which is controlled by-a valve, asshown in Fig. 7, and the gas escaping through the perforations 6" of any orall of the pipes 2", 3", 4", and 5" may be ignited, and the water in the pipe r is thereby heated and the plate 19 also heated, and thereby heating the oven 8 the heated gases of combustion passing out through the opening p of the partitionplate b and through the compartmentb flue c, and stovepipe 0 as indicated by the arrows m and this operation may be accomplished while the burners 1 ,1), v and o are being used, and while coal is used as fuel in the fire-box m and in the operation of the burners or perforated pipes 2", 3", 4", and 5" the'plate p may also be removed and broiling accomplished on the oven-gratingr inwhich event the door g ofthe partition-plate b is opened and the hot gases of combustion pass upward into the oven 8 through the opening 9, into the compartment b and through the flue c and stovepipec as indicated by arrows on.
When it is desired to stir up the firein the fire-box m the bar k of the fire-grate being capable of lateral movement .may be shaken backwardly and forwardly, the firegrate sliding in the groove j" of the barj and by turning the barj by means of the head j the fire-grate is releasedtand falls downwardly, depositing the coal on the bottom plate 1' of the ash-pit m. i
As shown in Fig. 2, a gas-burner may also be used in the fire-box m instead of coal or wood,in which event the burner 10 is inserted into the casing 6 and firebox-m the'head being toward the rear and the nozzle w? at the front, the feet to of the legs, adjacent to the nozzle w ,being forced beneath the flanges 10 of the casing 6 and the burner 10 is thus heldin position beneath the opening e of the top member M, the cover 5 of the opening e being removed, and air enters the opening m to feed the burner. A pipe or flexible tube w is then connected with the nozzle 10 and the valve w on the three-way valve 104, and the gas-burner w is then in readiness for operation. n
It will be understood thatthe doors or covers m m, s, and 5 may be opened or closed in order to assist in the operations hereinbefore described, as well as the cover or plate 25 of the opening ii The doors or covers f g g, h, and c may also be manipulated to accomplish the best results, and various changes in and modifications of my improved combination stove and gas-range asherein shown and described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages. l
