IMPROVEMENT IN OOAL-STOVBS.

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

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE D. SANFORD, of

Peekskill, in the State ofNew' York, have invented a a certain new and useful Improvement in Stoves; and

do hereby declare the following to be a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the drawing accompanying this specification, ofwhich- Figure 1 is a front view of a section of the cylindrical part of a stove containing my improvement;

Figure 2 is a-veiticalcrosssection, taken through the line :t-x of fig. 1; and

Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross-section, taken through the line y-y.

'lhis inventionrelatcs to the better secnriugof the frames or doors, containing isinglass'or othertilling, to the body of the stove.

These frames, being made to attach or detach easily, for the purpose of renewing the filling, for repairs, or cleaning parts of the stove, have heretofore been attached either very firmly by some of the usual means of fixed fastening, in which case it was tedious and troublesome to release the frames when desired, or were attached'in a simple manner, so as tobecome quickly detached. But with the latter mode these doors were apt'to fall off by things coming into conlact with them, or in the moving round or jar of the store.

Now, by means of my invention, I obtain a frame easilyremovable, which, at the same time, is not liable to become detached from accidental causes, as

above referred to.

Myimprovement is constructed and operated as follows A is a portion of the cylindrical surface of the stove.

B,,.fl1e opening, which is covered by the frame 0, containing isinglass, or other suitable filling.

On each side of this frame is cast a projection, D, which is hooked at E on opposite sides; the face of each opening against which the flame is placed, is'cut; away in the form of a notch; such notch at from about two-thirdsof its length, up at F toward the top, being again recessed back, which will permit of these hooks passing entirely back of the cylindrical surface of the store when the frame is raised to such point, and then, when lowered, the hooks take against the edge of'the portion of the notch that is not recessed so far back, and thus prevent the frame, if rattled, or even pushed npsome. distance, from disengaging from the body of the stove.

, What I claim as new,vand desire to secure by Letters Patcnt,-as my improvement, is-- The construction and arinngement of notches and hooks on the adjustable frame and body of a stove, substantially as and for the purpose described.
