IMPRO EMENT IN coorme-srov'ss.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I p

Be it known that I, PHILO P. STEWART, of the city of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, did, on the 18th day of January, D. 1859, obtain of and from the United States of America certain Letters Patent forand upon new and useful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves, which said Letters Patent were duly surrendered, and thereafter duly reissued, as provided by the law,-bea-r ing date the 31st day of May, 1864, and which said reissued Letters Patent have been found to be defective, in that they do not cover and embrace in the claims thereof all of the originalinvention and improvements contained in the drawings and models originally filed in the United States Patent Otfice, on the 17th day ofAugust, 1855, which application, after being once rejected, was withdrawn, and anew application upon the same invention and improvements was duly filed, as by' law made arid provided, on the 20th day of October, 1858, each of which was in due form of law, but neither of which contained in the specifications and claims thereof the entire invention and improvements contained in the original drawings and models so filed; andbeing desirous to reissue the Letters Patent herewith surrendered in the manner as stated in accompanying petition, in two separate divisions, with a separate patent upon each division, I have prepared specifications and drawings of my said original inyentiou and improvements. Now, therefore, I do hereby declare that the following specification is a full, clear, exact, and more full description of that part of my said invention and improvements mentioned, and contained in the claims hereunto annexed, as well as of the construction,arrangement, and operation of-the same, reference being hereby had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and apart hereof.

Figure 8 represents a rear end vertical section of my cooking-stove, containing areservoir, hot or warmingcloset, also a chamber, extending from the bottom plate of the stove to the under side or bottom of such reservoir or water-tank, and formed. by the'removing of a suflicient part or portion of the rear end vertical plate of such stove to form and complete such flue or chamber for admitting hotair or the heated escaping products of combustion to the bottom or underside of such reservoir, in order to heat the water therein; each and all of which is had, done, and performed in the manner substantially as hereinafter described and set forth.

Figure 9 is a cross vertical section on the dotted line shown at fig. 10 of the samedrawings, and it shows an opening in and through the rear vertical end plate of my cooking-stove, through and by means of which heat, hot air, or the heated escaping products of combustion are conveyed to the proper part or portion ofthe reservoir or water-tank for the purposes substantially as herein described and set forth.

Figure 10 represents the bottom part of my oooking-stovc,just below and immediately underneath the .oven, and also showing a cross view of the opening in and through the rear end vertical flue, through and by means of which heat or the heated escapingproducts of combustion are conducted to'and into a chamber out: side'and beyond such roar vertical end plate of the stove, and under the bottom part of the'reservoir or watertank, for the purpose of warming or heating water therein, in the manner substantially as hereinafter described and set forth.

As a matter of convenience, I have caused the drawings to be made on five separate sheets, and numbered them, respectively, Nos. I, II, III, IV, and V.

The matter of invention and improvement contained in the several figures, 4, 6, 7, and 8, will be set forth and described in the specificatiouof the; first division hereof, as aforesaid.

The nature of my invention and improvements, described and claimed in this specification, consists in the combination and projection of the flue extending from the fire box or fire-chamber over the top plate of the oven, and over the immediate upper ends of the vertical fines of the rear end of the'cooking-stove, out and beyond the vertical rear-end plate and'end fines of the cooking-stove, in suchmauner as to receive, and for the purpose of receiving and supporting, a boiler, reservoir, or water-tank, for the heating of water thcrein for any purpose or use required in any kitchen, and which is accomplished by'the escaping hot air or escaping heated products of combustion, by the use of a pipe or pipes passing through said boiler, reservoir, or water-tank, or by means of such hot air or escaping heated products of combustion coming underneath and in contact with the bottom of such boiler or water-tank, or with any part-thereof, all of which is hereinafter merc fully described afid set forth, as to the construction and operation of that part of my said invention contained in the claims theieof, hereto annexed, or specified in this division of the same, as aforesaid, and shown and representedat fig. 30f the accompanying drawings.

It also consists in the employment of a heatingor warming-closet directly underneath the aforesaid flue or Y chamber, which flue or chamber is directly underneath the reservoir or water-tank, and communicating with the flue extending from the fire-box or'chamber over, the top of the oven,-and over the upper part of the vertical fines at the rear end of the coolring-stove, =and immediately back of the oven therein, and which is constructed in the manner as hereinafter set forth and'described, and-which heating or warming-closet is also, and at the same time; situated at the immodiate rear end of the cooking-stove, and fastened thereto in some suitable manner and by some suitable means, for the purposes substantially as herein specified and set forth.

It also consists in constructing the rear vertical end. plate of a cooking-stove with a suitable opening in and through such end plate of the stove, and at or near thetop part of the same, so as to' allow or permit the heat,

hot air, or heated escaping products of combustion to pass from thefirc-box or chamber-of combustion of the stove through a proper flue, to and into a suitable chamber outside of the rear vertical end plate of a cookingstove, and just underneath or below a reservoir or water-tank to contain water, to be heated therein by means of such heat in the chamber formed underneath such reservoir, andconducted thereto in the manner and by the means substantially as hereinafter described and set forth. v

It also consists in the construction of a flue or chamber in and projecting-out from the rcar cnd vertical plate of a cooking-stove, and extending from the -fiue or dues in thcbottom of t'hestove, and just below the .bott'om plate ofgthc oven of such stove, up to and immediately below and against thcbottom part or portionv of the reservoir or water-tank, resting upon and over a suitable chamber, to receive and contain the heat hot air,

or heated escaping products of combustion, and thus and thereby warm or heat the water therein, in the manner substantially as herein described and set forth. i i i It also consists in the construction and arrangement of the reservoir, boiler, or water-tank upon the immedia'te top of the outward-projecting top plate of a cooking-stove, over and from the rear end thereof, andresting upon such projection 01' continuation-plate on part, and thus and thereby form-the covering for and to all that part or opening through such projection or continuation top plate and flue, dcsigned or dcsire'd forthe purpose of allowing the heat to come into contact with the immediate bottom'ofsuch reservoir or'water-tank,'and also forming unimportant combination of said chamber underneath such. reservoir, as aforesaid, with the direct or exit-pipe or flue leading to the chimney, and extending upward through the inner part of suchme scrvoir, or at the rear outside part, or immediately in the front and outside part of such reservoir orwater-tank, thus anranged and supported upon such part of any cooking-stove, in the manner substantially'as hereinafter described and set forth, while at the some time such projection of said flue immediatclyp'ver theoven top plate, orsiich projection thus supporting such reservoir, forms a complete and perfect, cover or. top part ofsaid... heating or warming-closet, substantially as hereinafter described and set forth. i

Having thus described the nature and objectlof my said invention] and" improvements contained in this, my second division of my application for reissue of my.patent, dated January 18, 1859, and reissued in May, 1864, I will now proceed to describe the construction and operation of the same, which is as follows, to wit:-

My cooking-stove 1 construct in general substantially as describedin the first division accompanying this specification, and of even date herewith, or it may be'constxucted substantially as shown and described in my Letters Patent upon cooking-stoves, dated the 23d day of Jnne,1863. But the invention and improvements herein described, set forth, and contained in the claims hereto, may be applied to any cooking-stove usually made, in substantially the same manner as herein described and set forth.

A is the top plate of the cooking-stove, which covers the upper part of the fircbox or chamber, and which also covers or forms the upper part of the flue leading frorn the firc-box or chamber to the ycrtical flues at the rear end of the stove. It contains the usual and desired. number of boiler-holes. 'lhis' top plate I continue or extend over, beyond, and from'the vertical flues 13, figs. 3 andfl, as well as the rear vertical end plate of the stove, so as to receive and support the reservoir or water-tank, 0, figs. 1, 2, and 3, or any equivalent therefor.

The-said top plate may thus be extended in one piece, or it may be cast-or constructed in two or more parts,

and thereafter. bolted together or firmly fastened by other and suitable mechanical-means, which will make the samesufiiciently strong for the purposes intended. In that part of said plate so projecting or continuing, I construct an opening, of any size or shape, to contain the said reservoir or water-tank, and permit the heat to come in contact with the bottom of said reservoir, in the manner substantially as herein described and set forth.

' It may all bcin one opening, or there may be two or more, but I prefer but one such opening. The said rgservoir or water-tank 0 may fit such opening, substantially as shown at fig. 1. 'I usually construct a flange around said opening, as seen at a a, fig. 1, which is cast upon the under side of said plate.

At or near the rear end of said top projecting plate, and in order to aid in the formation of the chamber D, directly below and underneath the said reservoir I arrange the plate E, which is closely titted to the projecting plate A, as well as to the bottom plate F of the said chamber or flue D, fig. 1, which bottom plate F is closely fitted to the rear vertical end plate, and thus the said chamber or flue D is constructed, while that side or part near to the rear end of the stove remains, opening into the upper part of the said vertical rear-end flues B, and on an'air-line, and of the same or nearly the same capacity of the flue H, over the top of the oven I, and leading to the fire-chamber J as well as to the said chamber D underneath said reservoir 0, in the manner as aforesaid. The parts necessary to form or construct such chamber D may be securely bolted together and to the cooking-stove, or secured together and thereto in any goodand substantial manner, or by any snflicient mechanical means deemed best, in order to carry out the purpose intended by such chamber D, and thus there is formed a seat or projection to contain and support a reservoir or water-tank, for the purpose of heating the water in such reservoir by means of the waste heat, or the heat which remains after the products of combustion have passed over the oven, thence down the vertical and descending line or fines on the rear endof the cooking-stove, thence under and'along the under side of the bottom plate of the oven, and back through properly constructed flues totbe ascending flue or flues in the rear end of the cooking-st'ove, and thus and thereby heating the water in such reservoir or water-tank without any expense of fuel beyond what would be necessary to carry on the ordinary work, such as boiling, baking, roasting, Std, Etc.

Whenthere are three vertical fiues at the rear end of the cooking-stove, to which is applied the said chamber D, in the manner and for the purposes as herein stated, the flue upon either side of the centre ilue will be so constructed and closed next to the said chamber, D, as to prevent the heat or escaping products of combustion from passing into such chamber D, but to direct the same into and down the said side end vertical fines, so as to pass the same under and about the oven, in the manner substantially as aforesaid. But if it is'desirable to heat the water in such reservoir or tank in haste, then the damper L, fig. 4, mustbe drawn or opened so as to let the heat or heated products of combustion pass directly over the centre end vertical flue to the chamber D, directly under the said reservoir, inthe manner substantially as aforesaid. When said damper is closed,

then the hot air or heated escaping prodnctsof combustion aredirected into and pass down the vertical fines upon each side of the central vertical flue at the rear end of the cooking-stove, as aforesaid, after which they take the direction and course hcreinbeforc stated and set forth, and returning, pass up the central fine at the rear end of the stove into the said chamber or flue D, and under the bottom of said reservoir or water-tank, and thence into the pipe or tube or pipes and tubes passing into and through said reservoir or tank, as herein stated, and as shown at fig. 3, thereby heating the water in such reservoir, and then passing away into the chimney. Thesaid chamber D, over which rests the said reservoir, may be constructed with the bottom and sides thereof in one part or piece, if deemed best so todo, with the same securely fastened to the stove,after which the top or extended top plate of the stoveis placed over the same; with the reservoir or water-tank opening therein, and thus the whole thing is completed ready for use, or such chamber may be constructed in separate parts, and fastened together as aforesaid.

I The said chamber D may be applied, in the manner substantially as aforesaid, to any cooking-stove having one descending and one ascending vertical fine in the rear end of such stove, or to any cooking-stove having two or more descending and two or more ascending vertical fiues in the rear end of'such stove, as the case may be. In all cases, the descending flue or ilues' have no direct communication with or opening into said chamber or fine D, at or near the top thereof, but are so constructed as to direct the heat or heated and escaping products down suc'h flue or fines, and underneath the oven, as aforesaid. The ascending flue or fines are so constructed as to have direct communication to and with, and open at their respective upper endsinto said chamber D, as and for the purposes substantidlly as aforesaid. The said chamber D may be of any capacity desired,.in order to carry out the objects of the invention, which are herein stated and set forth. In all cases,

'such chamber will be constructed to correspond to the size, shape, or, requirements of the cooking-stove, where theisame is to be used. I

The reservoir or water-tank C may be of any height or shape deemed best to use, but the size will always be made to correspond to that part or opening contained in the said extended plate A, and it may be constructed -0f any kind of material deemed best. Itis so arranged as to be movable or detachable from said cookingstove, or, if deemed best, it may be'fastened thereonand thereto. It is my design that the exit-pipe or pipes should pass up throughsaid reservoir or water-tank, and thus and thereby aid in the heating of the water thereiu the pipe continuing from thcsame to and into the chimney in the usual way, but it is manifest that such exit-pipe may extend from the said ohamber D,at the extreme rear part of. the same, and just outside of said reservoir upwards to the chimney of the dwelling where used, or it may extend from the front part of said chamber D upward in front of the said reservoir to the said chimney, as aforesaid. I prefer, though, that such pipe or pipes should passnpwards through said reservoir, snbstantiallyas herein set forth. Through the rear and vertical end plate G bf a cooking-stove, and-at or near the top part thereof, I construct a suitable opening, 0-, which maybe of any size or capacity desired, andwhich is for the purpose of forming a communication with the chamber D underneath orjust below the reservoir or water-tank); so as to permit of the passage thereto of heat, hot air, or of the heated escaping products of combustion arising from the fire or combustion of fuel in the fire-chamber J, and thus and thereby heat or warm (as the case maybe) the water in such reservoir or Water-tank, without the requirement of any additional fuel than that required for boiling, baking, or other.

cooking purposes, and which fuel would berequired to do the some, were. there no such reservoir or water-tank,

asihcrein described and set forth.

' I arrange and combine with a cooking-stove such reservoir or water-tank, substantially as shown in and by the accompanying drawings,and thus and thereby I economize largely in the use of room dr space around and about such cooking-stove, as well'as also economize very largely in the' use of the fuel or heat, for by so doing I am enabled to always provide or have on hand, ready for any use required, warm or hot water during all the time while the stove is in a heated condition, substantially as herein described and set forth.

1? is a chamber or line, extending from the-bottom centre flue, or from all the fines in the bottom of the stove, upwards, until it comes in contact with the chamber or flue, D, under the said reservoir. This flue or chamber 1? is constructed outside of the said vertical end plate G of the cooking-stove, and a portion of such end plate is removed, so as to receive the propernnd necessary plate or parts required to form such chamber EP, which communicates, at its lower end, with the space or lines under the oven, and at its upper end with the chamber or fiue over which rests and remains said reservoir or water-tank, substantially as hereinbeforeset forth.

The said reservoir may have a part or portion thereof resting over the upper part of said rear-end vertical lines, or such reservoir'may have thefrontpart thereof upon a. line with the inner-end oven-plate, whereby the whole of said end vertical lines would be covered over with a part of the bottom of said water-tank, if deemed best so to arrange the same. Ig'enerally prefer to have the front edge or perpendicular part of said reservoir or water-tank upon a line, or nearly so, withthe back end or end plate of the stove, but it is manifest that any variation from an exact perpendicular line with such end or end plate of the stove would make no difference with the real invention or operation thereof herein contained and set forth, but it would be substantially the same. The said chamber, immediately underneath said reservoir or tank, will, in all cases, open into the said vertical lines, or it may be immediately connected and combined with said lines over the immediate top plate of the oven, and in all cases such chamber will be directly underneath the bottom of said reservoir or water-tank,

and it may be formed by oneor more pieces, and then firmly and securely fastened to the said rear end of the stove by any good and suificient mechanical meanswhich will hold in part or the whole of such reservoir or water-tank, and the water or contents; therein. The top plate of the stove may,,as before stated, be cast whole, and extendout and over such chamber D, orit maybe made in two or more parts or pieces, and then firm'ly fastened together'by means of boltsand screws, or by any other suitable means, while other-.parts forming such chamber, to wit, the sides and bottom part, may be bolted thereto in any convenient and suitable manner,

L is a damper, which closes the centre back flue, and directs the hot air, or escaping products of combustion, into anddown the rear-end vertical flue, which, passing along the bottom of the stove into the centre flue, and up the centre vertical back or end flue, and then under the said reservoir or watcr-tank, and thence up through the exit-pipe or pipes. If said damper be open, then the hot air, or heated escaping products of combustion, will pass directly underneath the reservoir or water-tank, and to the said exit-pipe or pipes, thereby heating the water in such reservoir or water-tank without any additional fuel than that required for baking or cooking, in or by said cooking-stove, as aforesaid V Directly underneath said chamber, D, andimmediately in the rear of said cooking-stove, I arrange and construct a heating or warming-closet, S. It is deemed best to extend such closet outward as far as the said reservoir or water-tank extends from the rear end of the stove, but it is evident that it may extend outward to any distance required or desired. It is usually constructed of the same length as is the width of the cookingstove, and it extends downward to the bottom plate of the stove, if deemed best so to do. It has suitable doors at each end thereof, which open into such closet for the purpose of putting therein, upon suit-able shelves, articles desired to be kept warm or hot. I i i This closet I usually construct of tin, and ornament the same upon its sides and cnds'and doors in some suitable manner. I I I K K represent the line of the framework of such closet, which may be ofany suitable material.

The suid closet is fastened to the rear end of said stove, and to the projecting plate F, forming the bottom of the chamber D, as aforesaid, in and by any suitable means, which will firmly hold the said closet to its proper place in and upon the rear of such-stove.

The said closet mayhave any suitable framework, with the tin or other sheet metal applied thereto, so as to form and complete said closet.

The rcancnil vertical plate of such stove will fdrin the one side of such warming-closet,-andsnificient heat will pass through said plate for all warming purposes, of any articles of food, or other thing in said closet desired to be kept warm or hot. 7

The top part of saitlcloset is formed by means of thatpart or plate projecting outward from the said end plate of the storm substantially as aforesaid, through which plate also some heat will pass into such closet for warming purposes, as aforesaid.

Said closet may be constructed in diffcrentways, all of which it is not deemed essential to describe in detail in this specification, and applied to any cooking-stove, substantially as aforesaid.

This closet may have two -more'shelves therein, to receive articles which it is desirable to keep warm.

The said closet may be of any capacity deemed best, and it -may thereafter be secured to said st'ove uponv the rear end thereof, and underneath said reservoir or water-tank'a'nd chamber thereunder, as aforesaid, in any suitable manner and by any suitable means, substantially as and for the purposes aforesaid.

Having thus described the nature, construction, and operation of my said'invehtion, contained in this division or specification, what I claim, and desire-to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America, is-- l. The employment an d arrangement of the topplate of a cooking-stove, having afiue or fines immediately thereunder, and ext endcdoverand beyond the rearend and upper portion of the vertical flues, back of the oven thereof, in such manner as to receive and support a reservoir or water-tank. upon or over a suitable opening therein, and with a heating-chamber immediately below or underneath the same, in the manner and for the purposes substantially as herein described and set forth.
