HOOD FOR COOK-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 4S, 592, dated July 4, 1865.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, F. RAYMOND and A. MILLER, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Stove Apparatus; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichy Figure l is a side View. Fig. 2 is a front view with part of the cap turned back. Fig. 3 is a vertical section.

Like letters of reference denote like parts in .the different views.

The nature of our improvement relates to an apparatus for conveying oft steam, gas, and odor from the stove to prevent the well-known disagreeable resultsot' 'having it distributed .through the house, and to he used as an oven.

E represents the top of the stove. A and B is the cap attached to the pipe C.

a a' are pieces attached to the cap and curved part way round the pipe, and to one end of each piece is attached a brace, b b, which passes round the pipe and hooks into the other side, which aids in holding the cap in place on the pipe. cap in place.

d and d are small pipes or tubes passing A. from the cap through holes into the pipe C,

and whichaid in supporting the cap in the position seenin Fig. l.

\ extends around the lower end of the cap on all sides and runs ont through the pipe d into the pipe O.

H are rods, extending across the cap, on which dishes, 8vo., may be put to be keptwarm.

c c are projections to aid in keeping thel 2, forthe purpose of getting at the dishes which are placed on the rods or rack H, and when the cap is lowered, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, it is also convenient for putting in and taking out the dishes that are being baked. i

The obj ect of this cap is to convey the'steam, gas, and odor arising from the stove when cooking out through the valve c into the .pipe C, which passes out with the. 'smoke'in place of being distributed through the house, as would otherwise be the case. It is well known that the steam, gas, and odor arising from cooking is very disagreeable, circulating throughout the house, collecting on the walls and soiling them, while with this cap the steam is all confined in the cap and carried off, as before stated.

The cap can be lowered, as before stated, by unhookin g the braces b b and moving the pipes d d from the upper holes and placing them in the two lower ones, taking the cap d from the lowest opening and putting it in the upper one, to prevent the smoke from entering the room. When the capis in this position it forms a very good oven on the top of the stove for baking or cooking anything, and for this purpose the valve e may be closed to prevent the heat from passing into the pipe C.

What we claim as our improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. Hin ging the sections A and B together in the manner described, when used in their relation to the stove E, stove-pipe C, tubes d d', and valve e, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The adjustable cap A, troughs D, and rods H, in combination with the valve e and open- 'ing d, as and for the purpose set forth.
