Application `filed April 14, 1999. Serial No. 489,89.

This invention relates t0 stoves of thatl type utilizing-steam as. the principal heat# 'ingfniediuin and the object of the invention is to provide novel 'means'.for-maintaining a circulation of .steam through the top and onevor more of theshelves titions within the stove. Y

v ing means consisting ,of a series of resist-i ance coils, each coil being arranged within a box removably mounted within` the superheater.l

2o A further object is toso arrange the coilcontaining boxes as to `cause the .steam 'to pursue a tortuous passage Vbetween said boxes.

lV ith these and other objects in view the` invention consists 1nl certain novel details.

of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed ont in the claims. I

In the accompanying drawings the pre-v ferredform of the invention has been shown.

.In saiddrawinvsFigure l is a horizontal e top 'of a stove embodysection thrdugh l-t ing'the present improvements. Fig. 2 is a section on. the vline A-B of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is ajpeerspective vie-W of one of the coil-holding oxes of the superheater. Fig. 4 isa, horizontal section through the shelf or partition ofl the stove, only a portion thereofbeing shown.v A

' Referring to the figuresby characters of reference, 1 designates a stove casingthe saine being provided' with cleatsQ therein constituting supports for a 3. This partitionis in theforrn of a box of metalprovided with parallell vertical partitions e disposed'in staggered relation so as to form a toituous'passage,extending from one end to end'thereof has a pipe opening thereintol The top of 'the stovels formedl of two '.metallic box+like 'sections 7 ,and 8, the sec tion :7 Ybeing provided in oppositewalls there of: with rectangular openings 9 for the re,- eeptionv of oblong boxes 10. The lengths of or horizontal lpar- Y Another object is to provide electric heatshelf or partitionv the other. of the partition, as shown' iii'Fig. 4, therepbeing an outlet 5 at one end of-sf'idv passage whil'e the other' Iof the section and an these ybones lare slightly f i than tance between the aperture-d Y section and each boi: is as shownl inFig. 3, said i rounded by. a 'flange il.' Thi signed to be bolted or otherw to the apertured face ofthe section when all of the boxes i0 have been .in the said section the are disposed gered relation as indicated in the ica i tion of Fig- 1 thus torrning a tortuous p sage extending from oi r et tti;

said section :is indica e* boxes l() has an electric" preferably in the orn! `oit a embedded in asbestos or otlhe` i rial.

A steam inlet pipe-t ope ance cuit Y tibio insteinto Olii) t.

tends from the other end oi opens into one end of a formed between partiti staggered relation within t die outlet end of said pu ge lso opening into the pipe 6 hereto referred tot It is of course to' be understood that each i of the compartments forn'ied within thc rasing l is to be provided with a door, one of these doors being shown-in plan at 1S. in Fig. l.y Inasinuch as the section shown in Fig. 2 discloses therear end of the stove `in elevation, it is of course to be undersiood that the doors do not appear that figure.

W'hile the stove herein described :is-in use a current ot' electricity isdirected through the resistance coilsll which 'thus act as heating means and the steain is directed into the passage l2 from the pipe il, this steam passing between the boxes -lOand being thori oughly superh'eated after' which. it passe-s through the pipe 15 tot-he passage i6 in sec- 'lion 8 and thence through said passage to the pipe G and downwardly through the loi` tuous passage within the partition, said, Steam nally -leaving the. stove at the oui.- 'let 5.

It will be seen that by providing the means herein described the temperature oit ,the steaml can be raised to a very high degree and the efiiciency of the stove greatly increased..

.The various parts of the apparatus are readilji accessible, it being-possiole to remove either ofthe sections 7 and 8 from the top of l can be disconnected and removed from the section 7, so as to enable repairs to be made to thecoils 13 or to permit the interior of the section 7 to be cleaned.

It will be seen'that electricity constitutes the princi al heating medium. VIt will" alsobe notedlt at the heating area formed bythe box v10 is considerably larger than the radiating snrfaceformed by the top and vbottom of the section 7 v A very efficient cooker and steam superheat'er is thus produced. IVhile the section 7--and the parts therein are specially designed for use in connection with a stove as herein described it is to be understood that it' can if preferredbe employed solely for 'snperheating steam or fory heatingwater or for other purposesr v It is'of course to be understood that vari'- ous changes may be made in the construction' and arrangement' of the parts without. departing vantages of the invention.

' and forming a tortuons passage therebetween, and means for directing the superheated steam from said section tothe other section. v

l 3. A' cooking stove comprising a' casing having a sectional top, means within one of the sections for superheating steam, said means forming a. tortnous passage therebefi'om A,the spirit or sacrificingthe ad,

tween-means within the otherisectibi'i for directing the steam along a tortuous path,

means for establishing communication be-V tween; the two sections, 'and separate' means for directing steam intothe superheating section andout of the remaining section.

4, In a cookingstove a sectional totp, boxes rempif'ablyinounted 1nopposed walls of one' of said sections, said boxes being disposed in staggered relation and forming a tortnous passage therebetween, and steam superheatving means contained within the boxes.

5. .A cooking stove comprising a casing including separate communicating hollow sec tions, there being an inlet to one'of said sections and anoutlet to the other section, and

4opposedsteam superheat-ing means within the inlet section and arranged in staggered relation, said means forming a tortuons pas- 'sage therebetween.

6. A cooking stove -comprising a easing, a' 'hollow partition therein having a tortnous passage, separate hollow top sections upon the casing, said sections communicating, partitions disposed in staggered relation within one of said sections to form a toituous passage, means for establishing communication between said sections and the hollow partition, oppositely disposed .removable boxes within the other top section and arranged in' staggered relation, said boxes forming a tortuous passage therebetween, and electric heating means within each box therein.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing" as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses JESSE BRADLEYv BARRETT.
