Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,084, dated May 12, 1843.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES CREER, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Mode of Applying Heat to Cooking Stoves, which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 1s a horizontal section at the dotted line aiY of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section at the dottedV line o o of Fig. l. Fig. 4L is a vertical longitudinal section at the dotted line 1 l of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal section at the dotted line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 section of the valve closed. Fig. 7 section of the valve open.

This cooking stove is of a rectangular form with a large oven H below the fire chamber G extendincr through from one side to the other, its wit th being less than that of the stove so as to form flues between its front and back sides and those of the stove, and its height or depth being about half that of the entire stove and its bottom plate lV being arranged at a suiiicient distance from the bottom plate X of the stove to form the flue under the same, and its top being the horizontal plate L that divides it from the lire chamber G and which forms the front hearth L3 of the same when it is extended in front of the stove, the middle of which plate when the fire is placed being sunken or depressed forming a concave ash pit L2 and the hearth portion of said plate being likewise Ysunken at L3 and covered with a movable plate Y, Fig. 4. The top plate V of the stove is perforated for boilers in the usual manner. The back is extended or projected as represented at B2 to form the main ascendingv Hue. The bottom plate X of the stove below the aforesaid back flue and rear portion of the oven is recessed at S and perforated for the reception and discharge of the soot and dirt descending from the back lue,'the opening in the said recessed portion of the stove being closed by a horizontal slide or valve J. The lire chamber is separated `from the back flue'by a vertical transverse division plate C placed over the back plate of theoven perforated with an opening for the passage of the smoke directly to the back flue without circula-ting around the oven when said opening is not closed by the valveD. f

The flues for applying lthe heatv equally and regularly over the front, back and bot- 4 tom .of the oven are constructedin the following manner: A vertical plate F extends from thefront to the rear of the stove'b.ef

low the oven and in the `center thereof di: y

viding the bot-tom flue underthe stove into two equal parts or tlues. This division plate is extended vertically through the front fiue A to the hearth and into the back flue B as high as the bottom of thev oven. The aforesaid two bottom fiues thus formed by ,said central plate are again subdivided into other fines by vertical transverse plates E2 placed between the bottom of the stove and oven in the middle thereof and extended from the side plates of the stove toward the aforesaid center' plate F about three-fourths the width fire chamber G down through the said corner diving iues A2 to the small square lues H5 Hs under the rear portion of the oven and thence into the back flue B or ascending flue. The flues for conveying the heat from the fire chamber to the first described flues H1 H2 under the front of the oven are formed in the two front corners of the stove by means of two vertical plates P, Q, placed upon the hearth plate and risingabout twothirds the height of the fire chamber, over y the upper edges of which plates P, Q, the

draft passes int-o the front corner ues A:L A1;

The rear corner lues A2 for conveying the draft from the fire chamber down at the back of the oven and into the rear square tlues H5 Hunder the oven and thence into the vertical back ascendin flue B are formed by vertical plates arrange between the back plate of the oven Yand fire chamber and the `back plate of the stove transversely across ltheback flue.V The entrances into said rear Y corner-or diving flues from the fire chamber are made by perforatinof with oblong open-V ingsthe rear plate C ofpt-he fire chamber.

When the sliding valve D is closed as seen l i in Fig. 4l the draft will pass down the four cornerflues A1 A2 to the square lues under the oven and thence to the central Hues and into the back or ascending-flue as seen in Fig. 5, at the same time circulating through the front flue. When said valve is drawn back and the central Hue open, the draft will be direct into the back flue B as before stated. p Y The bottom plate of the lire chamber is extended beyond the side of the stove a su'lcient dist-ance forming a small addition at hearth O to one of the side doors of the fire chamber.

Apertures, closed by slides, are made in The combination of iues under the oven with those at the four corners of the stove and with the front and back ues, asfdescribed7 constructed in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
