IMPROVEMENT IN FENDER-RINGS FOR IIEATING-STOVES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, N. A. BOYNTON, of the city of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fender-Rings to Cylinder-Stoves or Heating-Stoves,fer coal or wood, which invention I have duly assigned to myself and Daniel E. Paris; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, like letters representing like parts.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the stove, with the fender-ring attached to the bottom of the coal-cylinder.

Figures 2 and 3 represent perspective views of the same stove, with-the fender-ring separated from the cylinder of the stove.

The object and nature of this invention are asfollows: Its object is to fend or ward off the clothes or gar-- m ents, from thehot pot of the cylinder, of such persons as may use the stove, and to rest the feet upon to warm in cold or wet weather.

The feet should be dried or warmed from the bottom, and they should be near the fire-=should have a place to rest upon while being warmed or dried. Hence, a stove that will accommodate persons in these things isin great demand, and the stove that gives these advantages in the least expensive and most convenient form will always sell the best. p Y Y The nature of this fender, being low down, cheap, convenient, accessible, strong, and directly opposite the greatest amount of heat, is considered a great improvement over the old style of fender, which was attached to the centre of the fire-pot A. Thus, it was sohigh up that it was of little use, either to ward off the clothes or garments of those passing near .it, or for the other purposes named herein. The hottest part of the cylinder being below the old style of ring, it was nearly worthless as a fender, and of little use for the feet, asit was.

so high up. 1

In this invention, the ring is attached at the bottom of the fire-pot, A, resting on the top-piece, C, of the base or ash-box, '1). Thus, it is easily attached, being of little trouble and scarcelyany expense.

I The edges or outer portions of the ring are turnedupward, so that they come directly opposite the hottest part of the fire-potAl', right where it should be, both for a fender and arresting-place for the feet while being warmedor dried. These are the new features in this ring, that is, first, itsposition at the bottom of the fire-pot, and second, its turning upward'from its base so as to shield the hottest part of the fire-pot, and-form a rest for the feet, opposite said hot part, which shall be sufliciently low down to be convenient and accessible.

The shape of this fender is also new. Fenders heretofore have been made either flat, that is, horizontally projecting outward vfrom the centre of the fire-pot A, or turning downward and outward from the same place, but never upward from either the centre or bottom of the cylinder.

The'combination'here is what is desired to be secured by Letters Patent, and whic consists of-a fenderring so placed, at the bottom of the fire-pot, that its outer edges shall turn upward and outward, forming an acute angle with said fire-pot.

What I claim as this invention, or its substance, is as follows:

A fender-ring, situated at orv near the bottom of a firc-pot, with its outer o ring and the pot shall form together an acute angle, with its point toward the base of'the pot, substantially as and for the purposes described.
