JAMES MOORE, OF ERGINETH, IRELAND.

Letters Patent N 101,645, dated April 5, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE-PLACES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same vention applied thereto.

Figure 2 is a top or plan thereof.

Figure 3 is acentral vertical section.

Figure 4 is a central horizontal section in line ai a', iig. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists in heating air by admitting it in a fresh state below the tire-chamber into a receiving-chamber and one or more tubes therein, in connection with one or moretubes in the tire-chamber communicating with the receiving-chamber, so that the `air 'from the several points may be united in a heated condition and discharged.

In the drawings- A represents the tire-plate, and B B, the side plates, and E, the rear plate, which are constructed and arranged to form a hot-air chamber, D.

The rear plate E may be dispensed with, and in lieu thereof 1 may employ slate or brick, and extend it from the ange N at the top of the chamber D to the brickwork around the tire-place, and coat such brick or slate roof with mort-ar or other cement, to prevent the escapeof hot air into the chimney;

F represents a tube, which extends into the chamber D, and communicates with one or more tubes, G, which are arranged within the combustion-chamber K.

The ends of the tube pass through the side pieces B, and communicate with the chamber I).

It will be seen that the air is admitted into the chamber D- and the pipe F beneath the plate P at space C.

Such air as ontcrs pipe F passes into the tube G, where it is heated, and thence into the chamber D.

The air that enters the chamber D from below is heated in its upward passage by contact with the plates A B, which are naturally heated by the tire in the grate.

The hot air in the chamber D is dischargedinto the room at thc points I or H, or other suitable locali. ties.

There is a constant current of air from the entrance into the chamber D` to its exit therefrom. It takes the cold air from the room or apartment, and dscharges it again in a heated state.

O represents a removable regulator or fender, which is to be placed across thc face-plate in front of the tire-chamber K, and extending'suiciently high to cover the lower part of said tire-chamber.

M represents flanges, which secure the tire and side plates to the face-plate, and prevent thc escape of' gases int-o the hot-air chamber.

The pipes F and G maybe differently arranged, and multiplied, as desirable; but it is intended that they assist in heating the air, which it will be seen is heated by two operations, namely, such as passes directly into the chamber D from the space O, and comes in contact with the heated platesl A B, and such as enters into the chamber through pipes F G.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The receiving-chamber, and one or more tubes therein, in connection with one or more tubes in the fire-chamber communicating with the receiving-chamber, so that the air from the. several points may he united in a heated condition and discharged.

2. The vertical tube or tubes F, arranged wit-hin the air-chamber D, substantially as and for the purpose described.

'The above signed by me this 5th day of January, 1870. v
