TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. MOORE, of Lyons, in the county of Clinton, in' the State of Iowa, have invented certain new Improvements in Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the Following is .a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The object of my invention relates to improvements in stoves in two particulars: first, a plan of constructing the top (by insulation) so that it is capable of sustaining, without injury from the fire, artistic ornaments in colors, and bronzelaid in japan and other varnishes; second, a plan for kindling the gas and coal above a considerable portion of the unburned coal, (bymeans of a doorway and passage into the sides of fire-chambers,) so as to secure a more constant and reliable flame for illumination than is usual in gas-burning stoves.

Figure 1 is a perspective viewof a coal-burning stove with my improvements applied. A is the insulated top resting by thin edges, a a an, upon the separating plate B, which is mounted upon open work, {so as to allow a circulation of air below it,) and sustained by the ordinary top of the stove 0, thus bringing the separating plate B to sustain the top on points or thin edges, and preventing the conduction of heat from the fire to A in such force and quantity as to injure the ornamental paintings upon it, laitl'in japan and other varnishes. D is the feed-door for supplying coal to'the fire-chamber. E is a door opening a passage to the coal in the the chamber, by which lzindiings may be introduced and the gas and coal ignited. It is partly of mica.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the internal arrangement. F is a smotherer or cover shut down upon the coal in the fire-chamber; the red lines show its position when turned off or up from the coal. G is the grate, upon which the coal rests at the bottom of the fire-chamber. E is, a diaphragm for sustaining the coal, to some extent, when thegrate is turned for emptying cinders, and to allow a space for the introduction of kindlings above the grate from the front, I is a damper upon the outside 0? the fire-chamber for closing the passage out from it, should it ever be desirable to do so, to put out the flame and to check combustion at that point. It is shown open in fig. 4:, where also the red lines indicate its position when closed. 'A draught from I to the smoke pipe K is obtained between the fire-chamber and the outside casing from I to J. J is a damper in the flue where it is placed; the redlines show its position when open. K is the smoke pipe.

Figure 3 is a vertical view of the inside arrangement with all the dampers open. The red lines show the position of dampers when closed.

. Figure 4 shows a front view of the dampers I and J.

Figures 5 and 6 show the mode here used in insulating the top A.

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

1. The insulation of the tops of heating stoves, substantially inthe manner and for the purposes set forth.

52,- I claim the chamber in front part of-the stove, between the door E and upper part of plate H, when construoted'and arranged as and for the purposes set forth.

I claim the flue from the fire-chamber through the front upper chamber to chamber in top of the stove, with the controlling dampers, arranged substantiallyas and for the purposes set forth.
