LOUIS BARE AND HENRY REIGHENBAOH, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

STOVE-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 324,154, dated August 11, 1885. Application filed February 5, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, LOUIS PARE and HENRY REIOHENBAOH, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Pipes, of which the following is a specifieation.

Our invention relates to an improved depipe, the construction being such that the length of the pipe may be increased or diminished, as desired, with ease and facility, and

joint preserved, whereby smoke and other products of combustion are prevented from escaping at said joint.

7 Our invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a ring-j clamp. Fig. Sisalongitudinal section through the compressible ring, and Fig. 4. is a plan view of said ring.

D designates one of the lengths or sections of an ordinary stove-pipe. The part d at one end-of this pipe flares or tapers outwardly from about the point e to its extremity, as will A designates a section or length of pipe, of a diameter somewhat larger than that of section D, so that it will freely slip over the same, and a space be left between the two. At one endthis section is flared or tapered at A in a manner similar to the .part (2 of pipe D. At the other end said section A is tapered inwardly or contracted, as seen at a, Fig. 1. This portion (6 is designed to fit into the outwardly-flared portion of a pipe, similar to that, D, above described.

B represents a short tapering ring, made of the same material as the stove-pipe, bent in the form of a frustum of a cone, but not fastened together at the scam I), so that the ring an inwardly-turned flange, F. A slips over the length D, with the flange F toward the larger end (I of D, and is placed at that point on D where the end of the next length is to come, and the length A is then The ring B slipped over length D, and pressed over ring B until it compresses the flange F tightly around length D, and thus makes a tight joint.

0 represents a broken ring, having at each end an eyed lug, one of which is screw-threaded.

E represents a't-humb-screw,-which passes through one lug and engages with the screwthread in the other lug, and by turning said thumb screw the ends of said ring can be brought together. This ring 0 may be used to hold the ring B at any desired point on length l), by putting the ring 0 in a loose state on ring B, near the bead thereon-that is, at a point farther down on said ring than the end of length A will come, then placing ring B at the desired point on length D, and tightening ring screw E.

Ourinvention can be used without the ring 0; but this ring will be found useful to keep the parts together when the pipe is tall en down in the summer, and may be used at any time.

By placing the ring B at different points on length D the total length of the lengths A D can be varied to any desired extent within the limit of the range of motion of ring B on length D. The ring 0 may also, if desired, be clamped on length D below the lower end of ring B, and, thus used, serves to prevent the ring B from passing too far down on length I).

When it is desired to lengthen or shorten the stove-pipe, in order to accommodate it to pipe-holes of dilferent heights, it is only necessary to loosen the ring 0, and withdraw the ringB from pipe A suliiciently to allow the sections A andD to be contracted or extended, as it may be desired to shorten or lengthen the pipe. The ring B is then forced into section A a suflicient distance to firmly clamp section D, and the ring 0 tightened up by means of thumb-screw 1t.

YVhat we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a length of stovepipe, of a pipe-section of larger diameterfitting thereon, and having one end contracted,

U by means of the thumbas shown, and a tapering compressible ring fitting over the smaller section of pipe and entering the larger section, substantially as described.

2. The combination,with a length of stovepipe, 1), and a section, A, of larger diameter fitting thereon and having a contracted end, a, of a compressible ring, B, formed of a tapering piece of pipe loosely bent into a frustum of a cone, and having at its base an inwardlyextending flange, F, substantially as described.

.3. The combination,with a length of stovepipe, D, and a section, A, of greater diameter fitting thereon and having a contracted end portion, a, of a compressible ring, B, formed 10 of a tapering piece of pipe loosely bent into a frustnm of a cone, and the clamp having therein screw E; substantially as described.
