To att whom may concern: Beit known that L OHARLES WILLIAMS,

V'f Manchester, vin the countyoi Hillsborough I and State of N ew Hampshire, haveinvented an Improved Cooking-,Stove and do hereby declare thesame to be fully described inthe following specification and represented in the accompanying drawing, of which- Figure 1 is a vertical and longitudinal sec- Fig. 2 is a top `view; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section` taken through the smoke- Vtine overY the upper oven; Fig. 4 is a horizonf talv section taken through the smoke-iuesbe- I .tween the two ovens; Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken through the two ovens;` and Fig. 6 .ngerseetiou takenthrogghthe .ilre.-

In making tlie stove I have endeavored to avoid the adoption of the usual ashl chamber or pit arranged underneath and' opening through thehearth of the stove; the object of such avoidance being to keep the hearth cool, so as to prevent it from burning or scorching the clothes or the person of a cook when against it; and also te cause the ashes and cinders to fall bytheir o vn gravity into the I thus savethe employment o f a chute or. inclined plane for conve ing the ashes fromthe grate to thesifter,an yasaconsequencerenderunnecessary any raking forward of such ashes on such plane, as h'equently becomes requisite when such plane is used. I have also constructed the main oven in part of -steatite slabs or Panels, and metallic frames for holding them place..` I have also-a new arrangement of .hues-about the. ovens. In the drawing, A denotes 'the nreplae; B

"the-upper, and `C the lower, of two ovens, one

of which is' arranged d hre-placeand against the back plate a thereof, such hack plate serving to form one side of the oven. The lower oven G- is arran against or on a level with'the ash-sifter and'.

drawer-chambers D E, one of which is disposed directly overthe other, and both are placed wholly underneath the hre-place, whose grate F is supported so as to be capable of being 'revolved' in order to discharge ashes and ci'nd'ers' from it directly into the ash-sitter G.

.The said as'h-sifter is-arrnn ged so as to lest on.- ledges b b, which are on`or about-on a'leiel with the hearth U, which is a shelf projecting from the front of the stove, and between the ash-sitterand its drawer H, or the chambers D E of the two. There is no depressionor ash-chamber in the hearth; but the air visfree to circulate wholly underneath the hearth so as to keep it cool. The drawer Histo be in serted into the chamber E, and to be withdrawn therefrom through an opening, in its front and Vfrom underneath the hearth. The ash-sitter, whichvis a`re`ctangular box, open at Vtop and provided with a grate, c,in its bottom, is lobe withdrawn from its chamber ory ing through a hole, f, in one side of the stove, 'and provided with a catch, h, as-shown in Fig. 7, by`having such catch inserted in a rectangular or elongated opening made in one end of the sifter, `and being turned ninety degrees thereon, becomes so connected with the; sfter as to enable a person by meansl of such rod to move the sifter longitudinallyr and vquickly back and forth noI as to sift from it any ashes, which will fall into the ash-receptacle. After having disengaged the rod e from the sifter the latter may be withdrawn'from its chamber in order for the discharge'into the hre-place of the coalsror cinders left in the ,A iue, I, extends entirely over the upper oven and underneath the top Vplate g of .the stove. Leading downward from the ilue I, and in rear of the upper oven, are three descending hues, K L M. The middle one of 'these luesextends up to and opens -throughF thea top plate-ofthe, stov'aand is provided with nl dam'pr,"7l1, where it opens out of vthe l due Lauch damper being xedto a rodar. shaft, Mleadingthrough one side .of the stove.

The said hue L is closed' at its bottom, but fopens laterally into the middle ue 0 ofthe ged 4, three'iluesJET O P, arranged between the two ove's, and communicating together byopen-v ings i i, as shown in Fig. 4. The two uesK ,-rM open at their lower ends into avertical tinespace, R,which extends entirely across the back of thev lower oven.v Furthermore, there are openings leading from the dues K M- into the ilues'N I, such openings being provided ir'xtroduccdv inw i-t throughan'cpening,d, in marient-mme of-thesmverirrnn;'aerienne' `with dempers l l attached to a rod, m, going through one side ot' the stove. At the lower on a level with 'the flue O, such opening, when the stove is in use, being provided with a door or cover. This opening,r is to facilitate the cleaning of the flue O. I `urtherniore therelis a Hue, S, extending uiider'neath the bottoi'irot" 'the lower oven, and opening out of the lue,

space 1t and into a flue, '1\,\1hichgoce-up against vthe front end of the lower oven, and between it andthe aslrsifter and box-chamber l) E. The flue T, at its vupper cud, opens into the flucs between -the two ovens. The bottom,l the top, and each Vertical end ot' the oven I" construct of a rectangular fraaie, o', and aV panel, l), ofA soap-stone orsteutite fixed in the opening-of sucll'i'ralne'l 'lu this way Iv ,con-` struct an oven niore lrvtenlive oi.' .heat thanit would be if' :nado entirely ol` iron or metal."

The iron bottom plate ol.' the stove, shown at' T, extendsentirely,beneath theoven' and the iire-placenluleriwzith theloweroyein, l. lwould observe that thc'danipers l l, when` turnedjnf horizontal. posit-ion or ihoreabout, interrupt conununiczltion between the llu'cslf Maud,

the top, back, and bottom of the upper oven; and the top only of the lower one.

I malte no, clai1n to an ovenwmade of soap-vl i with an iron case and a soap-stone'lining cntained therein, nor do I claim a stove made with soap-stone sides and a fire-pot arranged withinzit, and Aso that lthe space between the potaudth'e'soap'stoue mab`T be used as an oven. c I have arranged the tine-space outside of the oven and against soap-atene panels and metal z lic frames tohold them, and between Such and the outer metallic case of the stove. I make no, claiin to .the arr-angelnentmof-l Aihres, y and ovens, and dainpers, as represented in Letters Iatent No. 3,861, dated vDecember 19, 1844,; and in Letters Patent No. 77, additional thereto, and dated ,July 5, 1845. I combinewith e such an arrangement of ovens and tlues asfis,

shown'in suchadditional patent, a iiueopening and damper, ld, thereto, whereby the heat; and smoke, instead of being made to circulate l, y through thediving-flues and labout either or A ,both .the ovens, may be :led directly from the`v nj iiue l, over the upper oveni nt o the chimney u l or escapeflne, thereby saving at ti-mespnuec;

.essai-jf heating of either or both'the ovens.
