ESEK BUSSEY, OF TROY, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 51,292, dated December 5, 1865.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ESEK BUSSEY, of the city of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a central vertical section from front to rear, Fig. 2 a section at the line e .e in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a perspective view of the boiler, and Fig. 4c, a top view of the rear part with the boiler removed, all of a cooking-stove embodying my invention, like parts heilig marked by the samelettersin all the figures, and the course ofthe gases of combustion indicated by the arrows therein.

Myinvention consists in the arrangement, in a cooking-stove, of aculinary boilerand an exitpassage for the gases of combustion, both in one end of the stove, and so that the boiler itself forms a part ofthe lateral easin g of a fireiue or iire-ilues in the same end of the stove, below the said exit-passage, with one upright side of the boiler in direct contact with the flame or hot gases of combustion in the said fire-flue or rire-fines, and the opposite side of the boiler exposed to the air outside of the stove, or not in contact with the flame or gases of combustion in the stove.

In the accompanying drawings, A is the boiler, B the exit-passage for the gases of combustion, and G the lateral casing to the fire-tine or fire-tlues D, below the said exit-passage.

With this invention the boiler and the exitpassage for the gases of combustion are together less in the way of a person using the stove in culinary operations, and the boiler absorbs and economizes more of the heat which is about to pass oftfrom the stove and be wasted through the said exit-passage than if the said exit-passage and boiler were arranged apart from each other in different ends or sides ofthe stove; and with my said invention the boiler is generally at a more convenient height to pour into and to dip outof, and more directly and completely absorbs and utilizes the excess of heat in the end ofthe stove to which the boiler is applied, than if the boiler did not extend below the exit-passage, but was entirely above the bottom of the latter, on top of the stove. And since the boiler in my said invention is arranged in, so as to form a part of, the lateral easing on the outer side of a re-iiue or iiretlues in the stove, below the said exit-passage for the gases of combustion, and so as to expose one lateral side of the boiler directly to the tiame or hot gases of combustion in the said nre-fine or lire-nues, I thereby avoid the use and expense in the stove of a lateral easing between the said lire-flue or nre-dues and the boiler, and also cause the boiler to be far more rapidly and highly heated, and consequently much more suitable for use in boiling meats and vegetables for food and in heating water quickly and boiling clothes in laundry operations, than if the boiler was arranged at the same end of the stove as and extended below the said exit-passage, with merely one lateral side of the boiler in contact with the outer surface of a lateral casing on the outer side of a tire-due or iire-tlues in the stove, below the said exit-passage, as in some cooking-stoves heretofore made, and as indicated in No. 37,966 of United States Letters Patent.

In carrying my aforesaid invention into operation, I extend the boiler to various widths and depths along the said tire-flue or fire-dues, as indicated by dotted lines at .r .r in Figs. l and 2, and I construct the end ofthe stove in which the boiler and exit-passage are arranged either with two lateral descending or diving lire-fines and a central ascending one7 as shown in full lines in the accompanying drawings, or with a descending tire-flue on one side and an ascending one on the other, as indicated by dotted partition -lines at y y in Fig.'2, or with one broad ascendingre-tlue, or other suitable form or arrangement of nre-flue or lire-dues, whereby my aforesaid invention will secure the advantages hereinbcfore specified.

I secure the boiler in the stove by any suit-- able means-as, for example, in the annexed drawings, the top plate, E, ofthe stove has a ring-like projection, j', in which the boiler is held by a iiange, g, on the rim of the boiler, while the side of the boiler, which forms a part of the casing to the Jfire-lines, is close against the liuc-strips h It', and the bottom ofthe boiler rests at 17, Fig. l, on the edge of the upright plate under it.

J J are hinged lids or covers on top of the boiler.

I commonly construct the stove of cast-iron plates, fastened together in the usual manner of combustion, both at one end of the stove, and l and I generally prefer to make the boiler in one so that the boiler forms a part of the lateral piece of cast-iron, and to sometimes have the easing; on Jthe outer side of a re-iue or fireinterior surface of the boiler coated with tin, ilues in the end of the stove, below the said What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
