Letters Patent No. 106,889, dated August 30, 1870.

COMBINED FURNACE AND TBA-KETTLE.

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

To all persons to whom these presents may come:

Be it known that we, CnBnA L. TAYLOR and GEORGE G. SETCHELL, ot Greenville, of the county' ot N ew London and State of Connecticut, have invented a Combined Furnace and Tea-Kettle; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accortipanying drawing, of which- Figure 1 is a top' view;

Figure 2, a front elevation Figure 3, a longitudinal section; and

Figure 4, a transverse-section of it.

In' such drawing- A denotes a furnace having the form of a hollow conic frustnm, and being open at top, and provided a bot-tom with a grate, a.

. The furnace so made is arranged concentrcally within a tea-kettle, B, the furnace being projected a short distance above the top of the kettle, and having the projecting portion b furnished with a Series of holes, c, made through it.

A cover, O, formed as shown in side elevation in Figure 5, and in section i the figs. 3 and 4, fit-s into the mouth or upper end of the furnace, and is pro vided with a series of openings d d, to correspond in position, number, and size with the holes c, the said cover, with its holes and the holes c, serving as an airregister for the furnace, as well as for other useful purposes. o Y

The main bodyt of the .tea-pot, not only surrounds the fui-nace, but there is an extension, e, from the bot-tom j' of the said body,l which also encompasses the furnace, opens into the body, and is closed at bottom, the said extension being to enter the boiler or kettle-receiving oritice of a stove or cooking-range,

'A smoke-passage or tine, g, is led out of the furnace, and laterally through the extension e, the whole being as shown in iig. 3.

11`urthermore, the body of thetea--kettle is furnished with a handle, h, and a discharging-spout or nose, i.

It also has, at its top, a filling-orifice, opening, or mouth, k, furnished with a cap or stopper, l.

On supplying the kettle with water or a liquid, putting iuel inthe furnace, and setting fire to such fuel, and afterward inserting the kettle-extension into the boiler-receiving hole of a stove or range, the smoke from the fuel will be caused to escape by the tine g into the discharging-Hue of the stove.

The heat of the fuel in the furnace being communicated tothe contents of the kettle,l will elevate the temperature thereof, or may be caused to do so to the boiling point. By turning the cover of the furnace so to more or less open the air-passages of the topof the furnace, air will be admitted intothe furnace, and. over the fuel, so as either to facilitate or diminish combustion, as circumstances may require.

'lhe purpose of the furnace so 'combined with thel kettle is to enable the liquid contents of the latter to 4be heated at anytime, asin summer, for instance,

without the necessity of doing so from a tire made in the grate of a stove or range. In winter, however,

Vthe kettle may be heated to great advantage by the Vfire of. such a furnace or range, as the tlame- 0r hot volatile products of combustion may be caused to pass into thefnrnace of the tea-kettle, as well as around the extension of the body.

We claim as our invention- 1. The combined tea-kettle and furnace, as constructed, with the furnace A arranged within, and extending both aboveV and below the body t of the teakettle, and having air-openings, c, and a smoke dis-
