STOVE-BOI LER H EATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,163, dated September 14, 1880.

Application filed January 31, 1880.

T0 all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, JAMES L. IVILSON, of Calhoun, in the county of Gordon and State of Georgia, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Stove-Boiler Heaters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot` the construction and operation ofthe same, reference bein g had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and ii gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure] of the drawings is a representation of a top view of a stove with my improved heater applied, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same.

This invention has relation toimprovements in attachments for cooking-stoves; and it con sists in the construction and novel arrangement ot' parts, as hereinafter shown, described, and set forth in the claim.

In the annexed drawings, the letterA desig nates the top of' an ordinary wood or coal stove, having in it the usual oblong orifice for the reception of a clothes or other boiler, and the usual potholes. These are closed at pleas ure by the usual stove-plates.

B indicates a hollow oblong metallic box resting on the stove over the hole for theboiler, and having its lower end Open. This box has in its top an oblong opening, closed by ordi' nary stove-hole plates, and capable of receiving a full-sized Vash-boiler ortwo smaller pots 01 kettles. In the drawings only one pot, C, iS shown, extending down nearly into the stove-hole ot' plate A, with its end projecting but slightly above the top of box B, and provided with a holdingtlange, a.; but it is clear that a second pot may be placed in the other hole, it' desired. By this means nearly the entire body of the pot is received within the box B and subjected to the heat, so that water in the pot becomes speedily1 heated, this result being due to the enlarged surface exposed to the heat and ame. This box B may be readily removed and placed out of the way, and the stove restored to its normal condition by replacing the hole-plates.

The pot C is, as it were, jacketed by the employment oi" box B, and nearly its entire supercies is exposed to the name.

I am well aware that a stove having a raised chamber in its top communicating with a smoke-hue and provided in its top with a pothole, the said chamber having a vertical trans versc partitionand dampers at the upper and lower edges of said partition, whereby the pro ducts of combustion are directed against the bottom oi' the pot or passed directly into the smoke-flue, is not new, and I do not claim such devices.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Iu an attachment for cooking-stoves, the combination, with the hollow open-ended box B, having a flanged oblong openingin its top, like the openings in the top of acookingstove, adapted to receive the bridge and cir cular plates and the cooking utensils employed therewith, of the vessel C, having the iiange a extending downwardly into said box and engaging the flange of the opening, whereby the bottom ot' said vessel C is in direct contact with the heat from the openin g of the plate A, as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

JAMES L. WILSON.

Witnesses JOHN N. KIKER, ROBERT G. MoEEow.
