HEATING STOVE OR FURNACE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 25, 1904. Serial No. 195,274.

To a, whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED A. SGHLOsSER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Mansfield, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves or Furnaces, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in heating stoves or furnaces, the objects being to provide a means for retaining, emitting, and diffusing the heat-waves of such heating apparatus into a room or apartment in such a manner as to obtain a higher efficiency of radiation than can be accomplished by the use of an ordinary heating apparatus; and to this end I provide a construction wherein the heat generated by the fuel is caused to take a w more circuitous route within flues of a peculof Fig. 1.

iar design to permit the products of combustion to communicate their heat to the flues.

My invention is therefore designed to provide a means for constructing a heat-radiator composed of one or more series of flat tubes or flues intended to be combined with flueheads and hoods of novel construction, which latter are applied to any suitable heating apparatus.

I attain the foregoing and other objects by means of the construction hereinafter set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of my improved stove constructed to use coal or other fuel than gas. Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation Fig. 3 is a top plan view of a fluehead designed to connect the flues in series. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of Fig. 1, taken on the line a: 00. Fig. 5 is a view in rear elevation of the construction shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of a hood adapted to receive the products of combustion from the lower ends of the rear series of fines shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a detail view in side and end elevation of one of the radiating-flues- Figs. 8 and 9 are views in front and side elevation, respectively, showing a slightly-modified form of means for connecting the radiatingflues to the hood and Fig. 10 is a top plan view of a flue-head for connecting the flues in single series.

A indicates a suitably-supported heatingstove provided with the usual firebox, superposed upon which is the elongated flamechamber a, constituting a portion of the stove proper and being provided with the rim 1, received within which rim is the flange 2 of a flue-head b. This flue-head is provided with a ledge b, which projects transversely from the flange 2 and serves as a stop against which the rim 1 of the flame-chamber is received. The head is also provided with a series of apertures surrounded by collars 0, such as shown in Fig. 10, adapted to receive and fit within the lower ends of a series of flattened flues c e, the upper ends of the flues adapted to support an upper flue-head d, provided with a series of apertures and collars 4, similar to those on the flue-head b, for receiving the upper ends of the flues and having a rim 3 for the reception of a hood f, the upper flue-head provided with a flange 5, forming a seat, against which. the edges of the hood abut.

, In the form of stove shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4, and 5 I provide a double series of flues and flue-openings in each flue-head, a single hood f, adapted to connect the upper ends of the opposing flues with one another.

Forming a part of the stove is the smokehood g, which hood is suitably supported upon the bodyof the stove by means of the shoulder 6 and lug 7, the hood provided with an opening 8 to aflord direct communication with the fire-box to permit of a draft, the opening being controlled by means of a damper 9. The lower hood. or smoke-hood is open at its top to afford free communication with the rear series of flues 6, connecting the upper and lower hoods, and a smoke-outlet g to the chimney or other suitable placeis provided.

. The rear series 6 of flues are supported upon aflue-head 10, mounted upon the smokehood 9, the flue-head provided with a guard edge 11, which passes around the stove-body and having an extension 12, inclosing or embracing the smoke-outlet g to protect the latter against injury. The guard-ledge also serves to retain the flue-head in position.

The form of upper flue-head d employed with the double series e eof flues is shown in detail in Fig; 3.

It will be observed that the products of combustion pass up through the flues e in the direction of the arrow, through the hood d, thence downward through flues e, as shown by the arrow, into the smoke-hood g, and thence through the outlet 9 When it is desirable to start the fire or to cause it to burn more freely, the damper 9 is opened to permit of a direct passage of the pro ducts of combustion from the flame-chamer into the smoke-hood and thence up the chimney.

Figs. 8 and 9 show separate hoods 21 for connecting the uptake and downtake flues e and 0 independently of each other.

It will be observed that by the construction of my device the heat products are caused to follow a circuitous route, during which the heat is imparted to the metallic flues and hoods, which radiate it into the room or a artment wherein the heater is situated. t will also be evident that changes might be made in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction herein shown; but,

Having thus fully disclosed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
