STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 762,588, dated June 14, 1904. Application iled September Z3, 1903. Serial IIo. 174,328. (No inodel.\y

T0 all whom, it nfl/(ty concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL WILDs JACK- soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Selma, in the county of Fresno and State of California, have invented a new and useful Stove, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stoves; and it has for its object to provide a stove which shall be equally well adapted for cooking and heating purposes; which shall be simple in construction and easily maintained in operation; which shall be provided with an auxiliary heating or combustion chamber, and which shall, furthermore, be provided with an oven attachment specially adapted to be used when the stove is utilized for cooking purposes.

W'ith these and other ends in view my invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement, and combination of parts,which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing a cookingstove constructed in accordance with the principles of my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view on a reduced scale, showing a stove embodying the principles of my invention and adapted especially for heating purposes. Fig. 3 is a similar view on a reduced scale, illustrating a modification in the construction of the stove utilized for cooking purposes.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated by similar numerals of reference.

The iire-chamber 1 of my improved stove consists of an approximately rectangular chamber supported upon legs 2 2, and the bottom of which, 3, is extended atthe front of the easing, forming a shelf 4, upon which is supported a hearth-plate,which may be in the nature of a slide which may abut against the lower edge of the front door 6 and which may be withdrawn to admit the necessary air to support combustion. rlhe box or iire chamber is provided with a grate structure 7, which maybe suitably vmounted upon pivots at its front and vrear ends and which is provided with a crank orhandle 8 at its rear end, whereby it may be shaken so as to cause the ashes to sift down upon the bottom of the casing which constitutes the ash-pit.

9 designates a radiator or deiiector which is supported adjustably in a slot 10 in the rear side of the casing, said defiector being provided with a nib or handle 11, whereby it may be conveniently adjusted. The top 12 of the casing which constitutes the fire-pot has a comparatively narrow slot or opening' 13, connected with the lower end of a narrow casing 14, which extends upwardly and which forms a passage for the products of combustion into a heating-chamber or auxiliary combustionchamber 15, which is supported upon the upper end of the casing 14. Said chamber 15 contains a plurality of baffle-plates 16, which serve to retard the passage of the products of combustion to the iinal exit 17, which consists of an opening surrounded by a collar which is adapted to be connected by means of an ordinary stovepipe with the stack or chimney. rIhe baffle-plate disposed under the top of the heater-casing has ari opening 18 registering with the exit-opening 17 and normally covered by a damper 19, having a handle 20, by means of which said damper may be adjusted when desired to causeV the products of comy bustion to pass in a more direct manner to the exit-opening, thereby increasing' the draft of the stove. The front of the heater-casing is provided with a door 16, through which access may be had to the interior of said casing for cleaning' and other purposes.

In Fig. 1V of the accompanying drawings the narrow casing 14 for the passage of the products of combustion is extended upwardly from the top of the fire-box casing not far Jfrom the center of said casing. The front portion of the said top 12, which is the larger, is provided with openings 21, covered by lids 2 2 of .ordinary construction, which maybe removed when cooking utensils are placed upon the stove. 23 indicates a shelf which may be connected detachably with the casing of the stove at the front side of the latter, said shelf serving as a partial means of support for an oven-casing' 24, which is composed simply of a top plate 25, a front plate 26, and end plates 27 ,the latter extending under the heatingehamber 15. It will thus be observed that the oven is comprised within the top plate, the casing 14, the under side of the heater-casing 15, the plates 25, 26, and 27, and the detachable shelf 28, thus making a very roomy oven, which may be readily placed in position or detached, as may be desired. Obviously it is not necessary that the oven structure should extend over the entire width of the stove, but it may be so extended, if preferred.

In Fig. 2 of the drawings, where my invention has been shown as applied to a stove intended simply for heating purposes, a single lid covering a feed-opening has been shown; but the detachable shelf is omitted and the easing, (here designated 14,) which supports the heater-casing, (here designated 15,) is disposed centrally upon the top plate of the lirebox. A stove of this construction will present a neater. appearance when placed in a room that is simply to be heated and will admit more readily of ornamentation and decoration.

In the modification of the stove illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings the liue or passage (here designated 14") is disposed closely adjacent to the rear end of the top of the lire-box, and the heating-chamber (here designated 15") is thus caused to project over the stove-top having' the openings and griddles. By this construction an increased cooking-surface is provided and the detachable shelf 23 may be dispensed with.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood.

rlhe construction of my improved stove is, as will be seen, extremely simple. The fire contained in the lire-pot may be regulated by means of the radiator or deliector 9, around which the products of combustion will have to pass before reaching the flue, through which they ascend into the heating-chamber containing' the baffle-plates, where the prog'- ress of the products of combustion is further retarded until the linal exit is reached.

The oven structure of my improved device is extremely simple and effective, and when not in use may be readily stored in some outof-the-way place.

I have in the foregoing described a simple and preferred construction of my invention; but I desire it to be understood that I do not limit myself to structural details, but reserve the right to any changes, alterations,and modilications which may be resorted to within the scope of my invention and without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the utility of the same.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination with a stove having a flue-casing extending across the width of the stove and a heating-chamber supported upon said flue-easing and extending laterally from the same over the stove, of an oven-casing cooperating with the stove-top, the fine-casing and the heating-chamber to form an oven-closure.

2. In a stove, a `lire-box having a narrow transverse slot in the top thereof, a deflector mounted adjustably in said fire-box and ex` tending beneath in front of the transverse slot in the top thereof, a narrow flue-passage supported upon the top and connected with the transverse slot therein, a heater-casing supported upon said flue-passage, an exit-opening in the top of said casing, baffle-plates within the latter, the battle-plate beneath the exitopening having an opening to correspond therewith, and a damper adapted to regulate the opening in said baffle-plate.

3. In a stove, a fire-box, a flat narrow fluecasing extending upwardly from the top of the fire-box, a heating-chamber supported upon said flue-casing, and an oven-casing comprising side plates connected by a top plate, and a front plate adapted to cooperate with the top of the lire-box, the flue-easing and the heater-casing to form an oven-closure.

4. In a stove, a fire-box, a flat narrow fluecasing extending' upwardly from the top of the same, a heater-casing supported upon said fluecasing, a shelf connected detachably with the front of the lire-box, and an oven-casing comprising end plates connected by a top plate, and a front plate, said oven-casing adapted to be mounted detachably upon the top of the IOO stove and to be partially supported by said detachable shelf.

5. In a stove, a lire-box provided in the top thereof with a narrow transverse slot, a deflector adjustable under the top of the fire-box and projecting forwardly beyond the transverse slot in the top thereof, a flue-casing supported upon the top of the fire-box, a heatingchamber supported upon said casing, and an oven-casing comprising top, front and end members adapted to cooperate with the lirebox top, the Hue-easing and the heater-casing to form an inclosure constituting the oven.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

SAMUEL VVILDS JACKSON.
