STOVE.

' sPEoIF1cATIo1\r forming part. of Letters Patent No. 761,527, dated May 31, 1904.

. Application filed July 190a To all whom-it petty-concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY S. Moonn, acitizen of the United States, residing at Crockett, in the county of Houston and State of Texas, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification. p

Y My invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves of that character especially adapted for cooking purposes; and its object is to provide a device of this character having similar oppositelydisposedovens nor; mally separated by a removable partition.

A further object is 'tov provide a novel arrangement of flues and dampers whereby products of combustionmay bedirected so as to heat either or both of the ovens,..as desired.

, Another object is to provide afire-box having'a-vertically-movable grate by means of which the fuel may be raisedor lowered to a desired elevation in relation to the top of the stove.

. Another object is to provide novel means for supplying air to the fuel. r

provided with doors, whereby access may be had to the interior thereof. The oven is mounted within a casing and is surrounded by parallel similar flues which are separated by a fixed partition, and dampers are so arranged as to direct the products of combustion discharged from the firebox into either or both of these fines and thence through the outlet provided therefor. The invention also consists in the further novel construction and combinationof parts hereinafter'more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form of my, invention, and in which I Figure 1 is an elevation of one side of the stove. Fig. 2'is an elevation of'the opposite side thereof. Fig. 3'is an elevation of, the front endof the stove. Fig. 4 is a section on line 44, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the Sand 6.

tion on line 6 6, Fig.4. Fig. 7 isa section on line 7 7 Fig. 1.; Fig. 8 is a section on line 8 8, Fig. 4. Fig. 9 is a. perspective vview of the grate and its adjusting mechanism, the same being-shown removed from each other. Fig. 101s a longitudinal section through the grate. Fig.11 is a detail view of an air-inlet plateprovided for the fire-box, and Fig. 12 is 'a perspective view of the ash-tray.

, Referring to the-- figures by numerals of reference, 1 is a substantially rectangular casing having extensions 2 and 3 at the front and rear ends thereof. v The extension 2 is divided, by means of a partition 4, into two receptacles Receptacle 6 is provided with a door 7, which serves to close one end and a portion of one side of said compartment 6 and is adapted to be held in closed position by means of a catch 8 or any other suitable device. The end 'of a shaft 9 is journaled in the partition 4 and in the opposite end of the receptacle 6, and the outer end of thisshaft has a crank 1Q, by means of which the same may be readily roand rotates with the shaft 9 and has a suitable closure 12. This drum is adapted for use in roasting coffee or for other similar purposes.

The compartment 5 isutihzed as a receptacle for hot water.

The extension 3 is provided with oppositely arranged longitudinally extending thereof, and these cleats have their upper sur- "faces inclined, so as to aline with the inner surfaces. of the inclined sides of an ash-tray 14. This tray is mounted between guides 15, arranged on the bottom of extension 3, and is adapted to be removed by sliding it longi, I

tudinally through a door 16 in one end of extension 3. The front face of extension 3 has a shelf or ledge 17 integral therewith or secured thereto, and a vertically-arranged groovev 18 is formed within the front face, nearthe center thereof, and has a slide 19 mounted therein and adapted to be locked in any desired position within the groove by means of a pin 20, (shown in Fig. 8,) and which engages apertures 21, formed within the slide and in the bottom of the groove 18. A look 22 extends forward from the slide 19 and tated manually. A drum 11 is mounted on' i cleats 13 on the inner surface of the walls ed to swing on these pins when it is desired to discharge the material thereon into the tray 14. It will be understood that by pressing downward on the slide 19 after the same has been released from the front face of the extension 3 the arms 23 will be pressed laterally, so as to swing the cranks 24 upward. and the grate will thus be carried to adesired elevation within the fire-box 28, formed within the extension 3 and above the grate. An aperture 29 is formed within the front face of extension 3 and extends longitudinally of the fire-box, and this aperture is normally closed by means of a plate 30, which is hinged to one end of the aperture and has a series of openings 31 therein, arranged on horizontallyextending columns. A door 32 is so mounted as to extend over the plate 30, and this door has longitudinally extending slots 33 therein, which register with the openings 31. Slides 34 are mounted upon the inner face of the door 32 and have apertures 35, which are adapted to register with the openings 31, and each of these slides is adapted to be operated by means of a knob 36, arranged in a slot 37, formed within the door 32. By means of this arrangement of slides it is obvious that any one of the columns of openings 31 may be opened or closed, as desired, thereby regulating the quantity of air supplied to the fuel upon the grate. Doors 38 are arranged at opposite ends of the' fire-box 28.

The inner wall 39 of the fire-box 28 does not extend to the top 40 of the stove, but is spaced therefrom, and its upper end is connected to the forward end of a horizontal partition 41, which extends backward to the inner walls of the compartments 5 and 6. Aflue 42 extends through this partition at the center of the rear end thereof and is adapted to communicate with the passage 43, formed between the partition 41 and the top 40 through an aperture 44, which is adapted to be closed by means of adamper 45, connected to a rod 46, which extends through one side of the stove. An oven 47 is arranged under partition 41 and is spaced from it and from the end walls and bottom of the casing 1 by means of a partition 48, which is arranged at a point equidistant from the sides of the stove and extends completely around the oven. This partition is broken away at a point directly under the flue 42, as shown at 49 in Fig. 6. It will be understood that the partition 48 forms two similar parallel flues, which communicate at a point in rear of the oven with the rear end of passage 43 through apertures (not shown) which are adapted to be closed by means of dampers 50, arranged on oppositely-extending rods 51, which extend from the sides of the stove. A transversely-extending partition 52 is arranged upon the rear end of the oven 47 directly in rear of the flue 42 and in front of the apertures covered by the dampers 50. This partition will, as is obvious, direct the products of combustion from passage 43 downward into the flues 53, formed by the partition 48, and around the oven and thence outward through'the flue 42. I have indicated the normal course of the products of combustion by arrows in Fig. 8. Vertical parallel cleats 54 are arranged within the oven, at one side thereof and at a point equidistant from the ends of the oven, and the partition 55 is adapted to be inserted between these cleats and to abut against a cleat 56, arranged on the opposite side of the oven. Buttons 57 arranged on the partition serve to lock the same in position against the cleat 56. Doors 58 serve to close the ends of the oven, as shown.

It will be understood that when fuel is placed upon the grate the same can be raised or lowered by means of the slide 21 and the arms 23, as hereinbefore described, thereby bringing the same nearer to or farther from the top 40 of the stove. Air is supplied to the fuel through the openings 31 in the manner hereinbefore described. By opening the aperture 44 the products of combustion will pass from the fire-box 28, through passage 43, directly to said opening and thence to the outlet-flue 42. By closing this aperture 44 and opening one of the dampers the products of combustion will be directed downward into the flue under said damper and around that portion of the oven which is at one side of the partition and thence outward through the flue 42, as shown by arrows in Fig. 8. By opening both the dampers 50 the products of combustion will pass around the entire oven and both portions thereof will be heated uniformly. If desired, partition 55 may be readily removed by disengaging the buttons 57. In this case the capacity of the oven is increased. I attach importance to the fact that I can provide in a single stove two ovens of different temperatures in view of the fact that one of the flues 53 can be open while the other is closed.

In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form ofmy invention; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope of my invention,

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. The combination with a casing of a stove having a fire-box, and an outlet-passage communicating with the fire-box; of an oven supported within the casing, a partition 1nterposed between the oven and casing to form similar oppositely-arranged fines extending around the oven and having inlets communi eating. with the outlet-passage, a partition interposed between the outlet-passage and said flues, an outlet-flue communicating with the outlets of the fines, and means for closing the inlets to the flues. 4 f
