AIR-TIGHT HEATING-STOVE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,037, dated May 31, 1898.
Application filed Tnly 28, 1897. Serial No. 646,256. (No model.)To all whom it may concern.
Beit known that we, JOHN WESLEY WILSON
and WILLIAM WHARTON WILSON, of Dallas,
in the county of Dallas and State of Texas,
5 have invented certain new and useful Im-
provements in Air-Tight Heating-Stoves; and
we do hereby declare the following to be a
full, clear, and exact description of the inven-
tion, such as will enable others skilled in the
co art to which it pertains to make and use it,
reference being had to the accompanying
drawings, which form part of this specifica-
tion.
Our invention relates to improvements in
15 air-tight heating-stoves; and it pertains to a
stove having situated therein a hot-air drum
or chamber having an exterior communica-
tion and tubes having communication there-
with at their upper ends and their lower ends
20 having interior and exterior communication,
as and for the purpose hereinafter fully de-
scribed, and particularly pointed out in the
claims.
The object of our invention is to provide
25 a stove with a hot-air drum or chamber in its
upper portion, the said drum or chamber hav-
ing communication with the atmosphere out-
side of the stove and provided with down-
wardly-projecting tubes having their lower
3o ends in communication with the interior and
exterior of the stove, and means for closing
either of these communications, whereby a
draft may be caused upon the fire through the
said hot-air drum or chamber and the tubes,
35 or air taken from the exterior of the stove
through the tubes and the hot-air chamber
and then passed into the room.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis
a perspective view of the stove which em-
40 bodies our invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudi-
tudinal vertical sectional view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of the
air-tubes removed from the stove. Fig. 4
is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view
45 through the lower end of the tubes and illus-
trating the operation of the valve for regu-
lating the draft.
A indicates a stove of any desired form or
construction. In the present instance, how-
5o ever, our invention is shown as applied to
what is known as "air-tight" heating-stovesand in which' either wood or coal may be
burned lfhe casing of this stove may be of
the shapc fere illustrated or of any other pre-
,ferred form.without departing from the spirit 55
of our invention.
The top I of the stove is provided with an
opening C, through which the fuel is fed into
the stove, and also with an opening D, to
which the stovepipe E is attached. At the 6o
front and lower portions of the stove is a
flanged opening G, through which the ashes
are to be removed, and this opening is closed
by means of a suitable flanged cap H. The
opening C, through which the fuel is fed, 65
is provided with a cap a for closing it, and
the cap is provided with preferably an orna-
mental projection forming a handle, by means
of which it is either removed or placed in
position thereon. 70
Projecting transverse the upper portion of
the tube and in a line between the fire and
,the stovepipe-opening is a hot-air drum or
chamber I, having its open ends extending
through the casing of the stove, as shown at 75
b, and communicating with the atmosphere.
Projecting downward and forward to about
the center of the stove and near the bottom
thereof are the tubes J, which are provided
at their lower ends with the T connection K, 8o
having open ends, as clearly shown. It will
be noted that the inner ends of these tubes
K are in communication with the interior of
the stove and their outer ends in communi-
cation with the atmosphere outside of the 85
stove. The T-joints K, forming the trans-
verse tubes at the lower ends of the tubes J,
are provided at their inner ends with a bush-
ing c and at their outer ends with a screw-
threaded bushing d, the said bushings d pro- 90
jecting beyond the ends of the T connections
K and through the stove-casing. Placed upon
the projecting ends of these bushings d are
the screw-threaded caps e, provided with a
series of openings f and with a central open- 95
ing g. Passing through this central opening
g is a valve-stein h, carrying at its inner end
a disk valve i of a diameter to fit snugly the
tubes or T connection K when moved to
either side of the lower end of the pipe J. oo
The inner bushings c of the transverse por-
tions of the T connections K serve to limit
