IMPROVEMENT IN HEATlNG-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,663, dated November 17, I863; reissue No. 4,004, dated Hay Ill, H70: reissue. No. 4,595, October 17, 1671.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID L. S'rtLns, of the city of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification:

This invention consists in combining with a stove having a cylindrical body revertible tines located directly within the cylinder, and so arranged that an oblong fire-chamber is secured; said tines also so arranged as to carry the products of combustion downward into a hollow bottom or base of the stove before being discharged into the smoke-pipe. It also consists in the construc tion of the flucplate or plates of the stove; and, furthermore, in the construction of the register, as hereinafter described.

In the drawing, Figure l is a central vertical section of my improved stove, and Fig. .3 a trans verse horizontal section of the same; Fi 15 and I a front elevation and vertical section, respect ively, of the register.

The top and bottom A A are preferably made of cast-iron. The top is provided with a cover of such size as to allow large sticks of wood to enter, and is preferably pivoted on one side so as to swing oil. The upper and lower parts are connected by an ordinary sheet-iron cylinder, 1), of suitable size, which may be provided on one side with a door, a, for the entrance of fuel. ltevertible flues e c are located inside this cylinder, which connect with a hollow flue-space, i, in the base of the stove. The flue e is the inductionflue, and takes the heat and products of combustion at a suitable height and conducts them down into space '1', where they are distributed over the whole bottom. The flue c is the cduction-tlue, and conducts said heatand products of combustion from space i upward into the smoke-pipe Ii, when it finally escapes. 1 form these lines by a plate or plates, 0, which are secured within the body of the cylinder so as to cut oli' a portion oi" the space of the same to form the lines.

I gain a double advantage by this, viz.: I avoid making flue-pipes outside the cylinder, which had been previously done, and I furnish a tire-surface covering the tines, which is eifectivc in imparting heat over a large extent, and which prevents burning out. The great advantage lsecure in this part of my invention, however, is that I enable revertible lines to be used in a cylinder-stove directly within the body of the cylinder, and oecupying a portion of the cylinder-space, and yet gain the advantage of retaining an oblonglirechamber, 1). This is desirable in wood-stoves, especially since the cylinder of the stove cannot be made of very large size. The tlue-plate or plates 0 may be located in such a position as is desired, by which the tire-chamber is retained ot' oblongshape. This arrangement ofthe lines with in the cylinder secures economy of space, and preserves symmetry of form oftheeylindcr, which cannot be the case where flue-pipes or other devices are used outside.

The plate or that portion of the same which covers the induction-flue has a deflection or turn, 0, which abuts with the cylinder, and at this point are made holes or openings (l d (Fig. 1) for the passage of the heat and products of combustion into tlue c. The exit-tlue c is entirely out olt' from the fire-chamberso as to lead directly to the smokepipe. A passage, f, is made, however, near the upper end, to allow a direct draught, when desired; but this is covered by a valve or damper. At a suitable height from the bottom is made a small pipe or inductioiropening, It, for the admission of air to support the combustion, which opening is covered by a register. The pipe is formed in one piece with the. flue-plate, and fit ted by cutting a hole to receive itin the outer cylinder. The register G, covering the opening, is of a peculiar kind. The ordinary circular pivoted register has its holes for the admission of air arranged around its whole circumference and extending to the center, having only room for the pivot. In my invention these holes I lare made only in the upper portion of the register, and their length occupyingonly half the radius, leaving the lower half or entirely closed or impert'orated, as shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4. The relative position of this register with the air-pipe n is such that its closed or imperforatcd part )1: comes opposite the opening of the air-pipe, while the registeeholes l Zare situated above the same, as in Fig. l. The object of this arrangement is to keep the sparks and coals that snap from the fuel from passing into the room, as they would do it' register-holes were made in the lower part of the register. The coals strike the closed part and fall within the register. This arrangement also prevents the passage, of ashes outward to the floor.

[do notelniin, broadly, revertible tines in stores, as I am aware that they are old; but

\Vhut claim, and desire to secure l1 Letters Patent is 1. in combination with 2L stove lnu'ing zl cylindrical body, 3, revortible lines located directly within and int-lused by the eylinth-r, hut iartitioiied from the e linder-spaee, said tlnes connecting with the hollow bottom i, by which :1 cheuit is produced, 21nd the whole so arranged as to form nn uhlnng tire-elmnilni-r within the vylinder, for the purpose specified.

2. The tlne plate (I, eonstrneted with the draught-pipe It, formed in one piece, said pipinpening through the cylinder, as herein descxihed.

5. The register having nit-holes l i only in the upper portion, and its closed part; msitunted opposite the drnnghtopening of the stove, snh stantinlly as and for the urpose set forth.

In witness whereof l have hereunto set n| lnind this 26th day of June, lSTl in present-e of two subscribing witnesses.
