JOEL GREEN, OF ROCHESTER, NENV YORK.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 1,913, dated December 28, 1840.

To all whom it may concern Be it known. that I, JOEL GREEN, of Rochester, Monroe county, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking-Stoves, which is described as follows, reference being bad to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the stove. Fig. 2 is a cross section at the dotted lines w m of Figs. 3 and 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section at the dotted line 0 0 of F igs. 2 and 1. Fig. 4c is a cross section at the lines a a of Figs. 3 and 1. Figs. 5 and 6 the register plates. Fig. 7 one of the reflectors. Fig. 8 plan of the lower horizontal flue showing the oblique plates.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the figures.

This stove A, is rectangular, with a perforated top plate B, for cooking utensils, and is supported on four legs in the usual manner. The fire chamber C is above the oven D, and immediately under the alforesaid perforated plate B extending nearly the whole length and breadth of the stove leaving sufiicient space, however, for diving side fiues F which are formed by the sides A of the stove and the sides V of the fire chamber C and oven 1); the parallel sides V of the fire chamber C rise vertically from the hearth plate to within three or four inches of the top or boiler plate over the upper edges of which the smoke and heat pass into the side or diving flues F hereafter described. nder the hearth plate and directly under the aforesaid plates are placed two other vertical plates P extending down to the bottom of the oven a few inches above the bottom of the stove and which form the sides of the oven and the inner sides of the said diving fiues; the last mentioned plates extend from the front to the back plates of the stove. The sides of the fire chamber extend back from the front plate to the back U of the fire chamber which is about three or four inches from the back of the stove. See Fig. 3.

The bottom or heart-h plate of the fire chamber C forms the top of the oven D and is extended in front so as to form a hearth E and is also extended horizontally at each side through the side fiues F where said plate is perforated in square openings Gr Fig. 4 so as to leave the draft through the fines F unobstructed except when closed by the register plates. hen the draft is to be stopped it is effected by horizontal sliding register plates R whose handles H pass horizontally through the front plate of the stove above the hearth. The hearth E is sunken to receive the ashes.

At the two rear angles of thestove are formed two vertical fiues K for conducting the smoke from the fines to the funnel L at the rear end of the stove leading to the chimney; each of which vertical fiues is formed by placing two vertical plates I and T at right angles in the diving flues F about three inches from the angles or rear corners of the stove, the plate I extending from the top to the bottom thereof, and the plate T extending from the bottom of the fire chamber down to the bottom of the oven, the latter plate being made thus short for the purpose of leaving an opening 0 above the level of the top of the oven to admit the v ter plates N whose handles Q project through the front plateof the stove.

The oven is opened or closed by doors at each end. There is a flue in the back plate of the fire chamber (opened or closed by a damper X) leading directly into the funnel which is opened when the diving flues are closed, in case the oven is not in use, and closed when the diving flues are opened.

Plates may be placed under the ovenedgewise and obliquely or in any required posi tion, for the purpose of directing or changing the course of the smoke and heat as desired.

The several parts of the Stove are held before described, likewise the arrangement 10 firmly together by screw rods and nuts of of the registers for governing the draft in the usual form and construction. combination with the oblique plates under The fire chamber has one set of doors of the oven as described.

5 the common form.

What I claim as my invention andwhieh JOEL GREEN I desire to secure by Letters Patentis Vitnesses:

The arrangement of the side fines in eom- NATHAN LOOKLIN, bination with the angle lines and funnel as CHARLES H. FOSTER.
