COOKING-RANGE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 8,302, dated August 19, 1851.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, NICHOLAS MASON, of Roxbury, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the GookmgRange,

which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the tion of the oven and fiues around it &c. No.

4 is section of ditto at the red line A, B, in 1 Nos. 1 and 5, showing fire chamber hot air chamber flues brick oven dampers, &c. No. 5 is section of ditto at the red line E, F in No. 2 with the back part removed and;

looking toward the range. No. 6 is a part of a horizontal section of ditto at the red: line G, H in No. 1 showing portion of oven 1 hot air chamber flues &c.

Similar letters in the several numbers refor to corresponding parts.

to each other and the fire chamber as to form a compact and convenient cooking range capable of supplying all the wants pertaining to the culinary department, as well as to form a heater to warm the rooms of the house in which it is situated, with a slight amount of fuel considering the benefits accomplished.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

The range in its outward appearance resembles my cooking range patented December 4, 1849, and a part of this being a part of the same, but somewhat changed in its construction.

A, Nos. 1 and 4, is the fire chamber situated near the center of the range and provided with a grate nearly square.

B, Nos. 1 and 3, is an oven arranged on the right of the fire chamber and a sufficient distance from the same so as to form a fine a between the two, extending from the top to the bottom of the oven, and from front to ber in front and with two diving flues c. on the side of the fire chamber is to keep a body of air between the fire and side of the No. 3 is section of ditto at the red; line C, D in Nos. 1 and 5 showing a poroven B, in order to give a uniform degree of heat to that side of the oven, and to prevent it from being heated to the extreme it would were the fire chamber situated directly next the same.

C, No. 4, is a horizontal flue, formed by the top plate of the range and the top of the oven, communicating with the fire chamber in front and with two diving flues o, No. 6, one on each corner of the oven formed by the end plate of the range and the side of the oven in the rear.

D, No. 3, is two horizontal flues, directly under the oven at the front and back ends of the same and communicating with the diving flues c at the side of the oven.

(1, No. 3, is a horizontal return flue immediately under the oven in the middle of the same and about one fourth the distance from the ends of the oven, and communicating with the horizontal flues D.

E, No. 6, is a perpendicular return flue on the side of the oven next the end of the 1 range and about one fourth the distance The nature of this invention and improvement consists in combining and arranging a series of boilers, ovens, flues, dampers and 1 their necessary attachments, in such relation from each end of the oven, and communicating with the horizontal return flue (Z.

6, Nos. 3 and 4, is a horizontal flue formed by a trunk of iron and placed directly over the perpendicular flueE, and communicating with the same through an opening in the top plate of the range, thus forming a flue and extending back toward back of range.

J, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, are hot air pipes communicating with hot air chamber I and leading to the apartments to be heated.

K, Nos. 1 and 2, is a copper boiler of an oblong form on top, and inserted in a corresponding opening in the top plate of the range on the left side of the fire chamber so as to bring its lower parts in a space or chamber with a flue 1, Nos. 1 and 5, all around it formed by the fire chamber on one side and end of range on other, and front and back parts of the same.

71:, Nos. 1 and 5, is an iron trunk leading toward the back part of the range and communicating with flue 1.

i, F,'Nos. 2 and 5, is a perpendicular pipe or flue leading to the chimney and communicating with trunk with damper 3, 3, No. 2, connected with rod 4, 4, Nos. 1 and 2, to open and close the flue.

L, No. 1, is a door hung on hinges and secured by latch or clasp leading under the wash boiler K for putting under a fire in case that all the fire from the fire chamber A is used for other purposes the door L and the ovens doors are ornamented by pannel work in the drawings but they may be so or plain as desired.

Z, Nos. 1 and 4, is the grate for the fire bent after the form of a right angle with the corners removed, and suspended in the fire chamber by the two top corners there being pivots or axles 1, 2 on the grate and resting in sockets on the range.

3, Nos. 1 and 4, is a trip or supporter for the grate it being attached by the top end to the grate e by hinge or link, and by removing the bottom, the grate may swing out and let the ashes out of the grate.

M, Nos. 1, 4 and 5, is an oven built entirely of bricks in the back part of the range and elevated above the top plate of the range, and extending from the edge of the top plate to any depth that is desired and the width is about one half the length of the range.

T, Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 6, on both sides and top of range is the breast work of chimney.

U, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, is brick jambs at each end of range extending from breast work T toward front or range. The one on the right side of fire chamber starts di rectly on top of trunk 6, Nos. 1, 3 and 4. The one on the left starts at the bottom of the range flush with the end, where the boiler K is, and when at the top plate of range it sets back as far as the one on the right, and then they are carried high enough to give room for oven M. There it is covered with an iron shelf V, Nos. 1, 3 and 5, which forms a hood. I

W, Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5, is foundation for range two bricks high.

X, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, is brick breast work between jambs U and oven M, and cast iron front R is secured to it by rods S and nuts, small 8.

Operation: The fire being built in the fire chamber and it is desired to heat the brick oven only, damper rod 2, 2, Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and rod 4, 4, Nos. 1 and 2, should be pushed in which will close the draftthat leads round oven B, Nos. 1 and 3, and boiler K, Nos. 1 and 2, and then reach in oven M through sliding doors R M and open dampers or covers a by lifting them up at the bottom of oven M, and push in damper rod 7, Nos. 2 and 4, which will open flue P and close damper g. Then the whole draft will pass through flue or opening 4, Nos. 4 and 5, into flue h. h, thence up flues N into oven M, thence across and forward to flue P leading into the smoke flue and chimney as indicated by arrows in Nos. 4 and 5. WVhen the brick oven M is hot enough to bake the dampers or covers it may be closed and the damper rod 7 pulled out, which will close flue P and at the same remove damper 9, Nos. 4 and 5, from flue 0 0 so that all of the fire will pass from fire chamher A through opening or flue 4 into flue it h which is directly under the oven, thence up the flues 0 on each side of the oven; thence through flues 0 0 that is formed by the curved plate 71 i and brick arch of oven, thence out through flue that is covered by damper 9 into the chimney as indicated by arrows in Nos. 4 and 5, thus causing the oven to return its heat to any length of time desire-d and at the same time heating the air chamber 72 Nos. 8 and 4, under the oven, and air chamber I, Nos. 3 and 5, on the sides and top of oven. When it is desired to use oven B, Nos. 1 and 3, only, covers n in brick oven should be closed, damper rod 7 pushed in and damper rod 4, 4 leading around boiler pushed in. Then all of the heat will pass from the fire chamber through horizontal flue O, No. 4, thence down diving flues 0, No. 6, at each corner of the oven; thence through horizontal flues D, No. 3, at the bottom of the oven, thence through return flues a), No. 3, toward the side of the oven next the end of the range, thence up perpendicular flue E, No. 6, to the trunk 6, Nos. 3 and 4, thence through the horizontal trunk that leads toward the inclined pipe F, Nos. 3 and 5, thence into the chimney as indicated by arrows in Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. When it is desired to heat the wash boiler only the damper rods 7, and 2, 2 being pushed in as mentioned above the fire will pass around the boiler through flues 1, No. 5, formed by the side of the fire chamber and brick jamb U and front and back of range and thence into trunk is, thence through pipe i F into the chimney as indicated by arrows in Nos. 1, 2 and 5. If it is desired to bake in both ovens at a time the brick oven may be heated as mentioned above; then close the flues and all of the heat may pass around the oven B, as the brick oven will retain its heat long enough to bake without the heat going around it.

In case that all of the heat from the fire chamber A, is wanted for cooking purposes and the boiler K is wanted to boil a fire may be built directly under the boiler through door E, No. 1. The fire being in fire chamber A, Nos. 1 and 4, the hot air chamber 9, Nos. 4 and 6, back of the fire gets heated, and cold air from cellar enters passage 9 g, No. 4, into hot air chamber 9 conveying the heated air from hot air chamber 9 through openings H, Nos. 4 and 5, thence through hot air chamber h, Nos. 3 and 4, toward perpendicular plate a h, No. 5, thence up air chamber I, thence through pipes J to the rooms to be heated as indicated by arrows in Nos. 1, 3,4, and 5.

I do not claim to be the inventor of brick oven, but

That I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Leters Patent is 1. The attachment of a brick oven to cooking range to be heated from the same fire with which the cooking is done, as here in described.

2. I also claim the hot air chamber I at the sides of perpendicular plates 2' h and extending as high as horizontal plate 1' and all over curved plate 2' i and extending all.

around inclined pipe F and perpendicular pipe 2' F and communicating with pipes J, in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
