IMPROVMEN T IISI' STQVE-PIPE SHELVES.

The seheaule referred to m'nneae'nrters Patent and making pm ef the same..

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES BAGLEY f and OHnnnEs E., Mason, of Elgin, inthe county of Kane,- and State of Illinois', have-invented aWarmingfShelf,

to be attachedl toa Stove-Ripe; and-We do declare that the following isa full, clear, and; enact description thereof, reference being. had .to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a bottom view;

l Figure 2, an inside Etop view, the upper plate and sidevbeing removed; f

' Figure 3 is a side view, a portion being cut away;

- Figures 4, A5, 6, details of opening;

f Figures 7. and- 8, details of drying-attachment;

Figure 9, a top View; Figure' 10, a side view, with part removed, but showing damperr.

Theobject of our `invention is 4to construct a shelf,

to be attached to a stove-pipe, in -sucha.manner that the shelf shall be heated by the heat which passes fromt-he stove int'othe pipe, and also operate as a radiator.

To enable others skilled -in theart'to make and use our invention, we proceed todescribe its construction and operation.

In the drawings- A represents the top plate or piece, and B, the bottom or under piecepf my shelf. i

D is the side. l

C, a deflector, placed between 'A and B, and is not quite as large as these, a space being left between` its edge and the side D for'the passage of the smoke, and other products of combustion, through the shelf. This deectorO is'supported in place by theposts c.

In the centre ofthe detlector, I providev an opening,

so that the'smoke may, if desired, be caused' to pass directly through the deector instead of over its edge, l

which opening may, when desired, be closed by a suitable dampen i As shown `in the drawings, therearethree small openingsat or near the centre of thexdefleetor, made by cutting-the material onthree sides of the opening, and bendingup the parts so partially cut'out, thus forming win gs or small defleetors, d, the eect of which is partially to check the` direct current of theproducts These ope-ningscan be.closed by a register or darnper, n, operated(as shown) by the pin e moving in the slot j, and in a corresponding slot in the ange or' colproper point. l

The red lines in ig.`2 show the movement of the damper and thin vpiece h. The damper is shown closed- `in both figs.` 1 and v2.

The shelf is provided with two pipe-connections, a

b, by means of which it is-connected to the pipe of the.

stove,'surrounding the same.

j is a flange, extending from a, and secured to thebottom B.

t', is an opening, closed by a" cover or slide, k, through which soot which accumulates inthe shelf may be removed.

v'Io the bottom B we connect a device, m, to which arms may be attached, upon which to hang articles to bedried.

.For ordinary purposes we make the shelfoval, about. eighteen inches in diameter, or across one way, and about twofeet across the other way, and about three inches thick, leaving a space `of about one and a half inch between the deector C and each plate A B.

We make tbeshelf of sheet-iron.

For the purpose of more perfectly controlling and regulating the draught, we .place a circular damper vbetween the dee'ctor O and the top plate A, and surroundingan'd enclosing the damper nl This circular damper is shown in gs. 2 and "10, aud is constructed as follows A band or hoop of metal i'ssecured between O and A, outside of\ the damper n and wings d, inwhich bandare several holes. Fitting somewhat loosely over and around this band, is another band or hoop, fr, also provided with the same number of holes as are placed in the rst-mentioned band, and so placed that the holes in one may be brought opposite the holes in the other. vThe lon-ter band lr,'bein g loosely fitted, as aforesaid, may be moved partially around by means ofthe rod s, connected thereto and passing through the side D, or in some other suitable manner, therebyclosing or covering the opening in the fixed band.

One of--these bands is to be provided with a stop,

so placed as toeontrol the movement of the outer' band o', so thatin opening and closing the'OpenDgs in the fixed band, it will not be moved beyond the When the damper nis closed, the draught through the pipe may -be regulated and controlled by means-of the damper or register 'r, the openings therein being partially closed to the extent which may be' desirable',

depending on the state of the atmosphere and other circumstances.

` When both dampers are opened there will be a direct draught through the damper n., while, at the :sanne time,fa portion of the'heat passingol" will be carried through all parts of '.the shelf.

Thisshelf has been, found to be afjlvery useful attachment, especially to dining-room stoves, as upon it quite a number of varticles may be placed which it is desirable to have warmed or kept warm; and, at

the sanie time, it is an excellent radiator, as, from its Y peculiar construction. and compact form, a large portion ofthe heat which passesinto it must be radiated therefrom.

In use, the shelf is placed horizontally upon the pipe of the stove, beirg connected thereto at and b.

The courseof the vproducts of combustion will b'e understood from the above description'.

Having'thus fully described our invention,

What we V claim as'new, 'and desire'to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

ber beneath it, constructed substantially` as and for.

the purposes specified'.
