IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, NICHOLAS S. VEDDER, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water- Reservoir Cooking-Stoves or Ranges; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof,- reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference markedthereon, forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section, through the centre of my improved stove;

Figure 2 is a cross-vertical section, taken at the line x x, fig. 1;

Figure 3, a rear view of my improved stove, with the water-reservoir removed; and

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the reservoir.

Similar letters of reference denote like parts in the different figures.

My invention consists, first, in providing a heatingchamber or chambers, against the front side of that portion of the water-reservoir which extends above the top plate of the stove, in combination with a heatingchamber or chambers against and between the front part of the reservoir, which is below the top plate of the stove, and the back plate of the stove; and

My invention consists, secondly, in the heatingchamber or chambers against the front side of the upper part of the reservoir, and in communication with the descending oven-heating fine or fines, in combination with a heating-chambenor chambers along the front side of the lower portion of reservoir, and in communication with the rear ascending or exit fine of the stove; and

My invention consists, thirdly, in combination with the above, the dampers, for regulating the passage of hot-gases of combustion, through the upper and lower heating-chambers, along or against the front side of the reservoir.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improved stove, I will now proceed to describe fully its construction and operation, to wit:

In the accompanying drawings A represents a cooking-stove, of the usual form of construction, and in addition thereto, the fines B B, rising over the top plate of the stove, and the hot air space or passage (J.

At the rear and outside of the stove, Dis the draughtfiue, and

E E are the ascending and descending oven-heating fines.

F is a damper, arranged to regulate the draught, and also to divert the heat passing over the top of the oven, and force it into the ascending or descending fines E E.

G is a slide, covering a hole in the backplate of the stove, and leading into the hot-air fines or passages between the lower part of the reservoir and the back part of the stove.

H is the water-reservoir, with an extension, I, equal to nearly one-half of the depth of thereservoir.

This extension is made-of such form as to cover or overlap the fines B B, and avoid the draught-fine D, and fitting close down on to the top plate of the stove.

The lower portion of the reservoir comes in contact with the ends a a and bottom b, of the air-pas,- sa-ge G, and fitting closely, makes an air-tight passage, O, between the lower portion of the reservoir and the back part of the stove, which is constructed with the draught-flue D, by the damper G, and is connected with the ascending and descending fines E E, through the space between the edgeof the top plate of the stove and the front of the reservoir.

The reservoir is also provided with lids, applied as deemed most expedient, and with a vent, K.

Z Z are legs or projections, to assist in the support of the reservoir, and keeping it away from the back plate of the stove.

One or both of the division plates between the fines are returned at right angles above the top of the oven, forming a flange for the damper F to close against.

The operation of my improved stove is as'follows:

\Vit-h the damper F open, and the slide G closed, the major part of the heat passing over the top of the oven, is drawn into the central or exit flue D, and passes up the pipe, a portion circulating through the ascending and descending fines E E, up the fines B B, and from thence into the space C, producing a moderate heat againstthe whole extent of the front side of the water-reservoir, and when it is desired to increase the heat-against the reservoir, the damper 11 is closed, and the heat, which is thus slmt oil from the exit fine is forced into the ascending and descending fines, rising up above the top plate of the stove, and heating the upper partof the reservoir, and then drawn down between the edge of the top plate of the stove and the front of the reservoir into the chamber G, from whence it passes into the exit fine D, the slide G, of course, being open, so that, it will be seen, the reservoir contents maybe keptat any degree of temperature.

Having thus described the construction and operation of my improved stove,

What I claim as'ncw, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The heating-chamber or chambers against the front side of the reservoir, above the top plate of the stove, in combination with a"heatingchamber or chambers, between thefront side of the reservoir, below the top plate of the stove and the back plate of the stove, substantially as and for the purpose herein- 3. In eombinat-ion with the above, the dampers, before set forth. v 7 arranged and operating as and for the purpose here- 2. The heating-chamber or chambers against the inhefore set forth.
