TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known thatJAMES R. HYDE, of the city of Troy, Rensselaer. county, and State of New'York, invented new and useful improvements in Reservoirs for Cooking-Stovcgwhich invention he assigned to the firm of Charles Eddy 8t (10., of the abov'emamed place, and to whom. as such assignees Letters Patent were issued by the United States on the 10th of June, 1862, and which-Letters Patent were assigned by the above named Charles Eddy 8t 00., onthe 24th of January, 1867, to Daniel E. Paris, of the city of Troy, Re'nsselaer county, and-State of New York; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andaceurat'e description of the said invention, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of refcrence marked thereon, like letters representing like parts. v i I Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stove with the reservoir attached.

Figures Zand 3 show the same stove with the reservoir detached.

The back of the stove C is curved. The side F of the boiler D is also curved, so as to correspond toand with the back of the stove; The new features are, the manner in which the reservoir is heated from its'uprightfront side; and, second, the shape of the reservoir; and, third, the manner of attaching itto the stove,- and the arrangement of the cover. As a whole andin detailthe invention consists in constructing and placing a. hot water reservoir or boiler in rear of a diving-flue cooking-stove, and below the top plate of the same, with the front part of the reservoir concave, while theback part is convex as regards the outer sides. The reservoir. is

heated entirely from its front upright side by the products of combustion as they pass down and up the rear;

fines of the stove. I

Water-reservoirs or large boilers of thisclass have heretofore been placed and heated difl'erently, and

made in. diiferent shape-made generally with all four sides convex, that is, swelling outward, so as to be strong and-durable, a convex or concave shape being stronger than a straight, flat surface. Boilers used for this purpos e have always been heated in a different way from this, and generally from the bottom, with orwithout the exit pipe through the centre, or else like'a kettle which sets down through the top plate, either over the fire or back away from the fire; but in either case the 'productsof combustion not only act on the bottom of the vessel, but on the sides and. ends, and} generally, if not always, on both sides and both ends, and so far up as the boiler may set through the top plate; but this manner of heating required an expensive casing 7 around the boiler. This would not be so objectionable in a movable boiler or kettle, for its place might be used when needed for other purposes, but with a boiler designed, as this is, to be a permanent fixture,

the stove would have to be made just so much larger, made large enough to enclose the -boiler, which would make the stove half as large again; therefore both the manner of heating the boiler, in this case, and its peculiar shape also, are considered new and valuable features, the first because of its chcapness, simplicity,

and economy, and, the second because it will heatso much quicker, and because of its strength and durubility. It is cheap and economical-to make a stove and boiler in this way, for the reason that it is heated. by the waste heat of the rear fines of the stove as it passes down and up said fines to the exit pipe, the heat in said fines is not diverted out of its regular course, the products of combustion pass around the oven in'the shortest direction, and are not at all impeded by the reservoir; thus the stove will work'just as well, and perform just as much work with as without the reservoir. But if the heat or products of combustion were carried under the boiler, or around its sides and bottom, it would be diverted from its natural course, would do" less service to the oven, sides, or else the heat would escape; but by heating it from one side, that next adjoining the rear upright lines,

the expense in casing is avoided altogether; and the expense in casing so large a boiler as this would be greater than the whole cost of the boiler itself.

The back plate C is made very thin, so as to get all the heat required, and that accomplished, there is nothing left to be desired. The concave and convex shape of this boiler contributes largely to its heating and, What is more, there would have to be a metallic casing enclosing its bottom andqualities, and in this respect it is'a great improvement over the old style of reservoir, and especially when made, as herein shown, without casing, and heatedfrom or on one side only,'for the water will heat a great deal ,faster by being made to followthe curve of the back flues of the stove, on the principle that the nearer heat gets to the centre of a body the quicker-it will feel its efl'ects, thesame amount ofheat producing a far greater result; thus the two sides, the front and rear walls of the reservoir, are both madeconcave as regards the outer shape of the rear fines thus the water enclosed between these two sides in the boiler is brought as near.

as possible to the-hot-air passage-waysof said rear fines, thus allowing and compelling all the products of combustion to act upon the entire front surface of the reservoir before they enter the exit pipe, the back plate C only intervening, which latter plate may be made as thin as desired, so' as to facilitate the heating. The

reservoir is attached to the back or ends of the side plates of the stove by meansand use of a bolt, which shall have a nut and sei'ew, the design of which is to hold the reservoir closely and firmly with the stove, so that the heat as it passes down and up in the rear flues of the stove shall act upon it, leaving noopening, or as little as possible, for the cold air to get between it and 'the other plates of the stove. The device shown in fig. 2, where a bracket .or lug is cast on the upright plate of the stove, has a notch cut or cast in said lug, into which a pin, cast or made at the side or end of the reservoir, fig 3, is dropped, and thus held to the' stove. This mode is inferior to the bolt with nut and screw, which latter has always been employed since theinvention has been in use. Thecover E to the reservoir is made so that it will stand up perpendicularly, and when so standing the steam, as it condenses on its inner surface, will drip'back into the reservoir, and not runoff on to the floor. V v

The whole combination here produces a cheap, convenient, and accessible place for heating water, and it is out of the .way of everyth ing. else about the stove; nor does it interfere in the least with the regular oper ations of the stove, is heated by the waste heat of therear fines, and there is no expense except the cost of' the reservoir'itself, which-is not the casc with any other style of reservoir, for heretofore it has been necessary to make a place, a chamber, seat, or the like, for the reservoir to occupy, which incurs an expense to start with, but which is not necessary in this invention. I

-What is claimed as the invention of the said JAMES R. HYDE is 1. A reservoir thus situated, constructed with a concave front next adjoining said rear fiues, the back of which latter shall be of a similar and conforming shape, for the purpose set forth and heroin explained. I

2. Bolting or fastening the reservoir to the upright plate of the stove, substantially as here shown and described. v
