JOHN C. ZIEGLER, OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS.
STOVE.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept.15, 1914.
Application filed March 30, 1914. Serial No. 828,248.To all.wlom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JoHNC . ZIEGLER, a
citizen of the United, States, and a resident
of Wichita Falls, in the county of Wichita
5 and State of Texas, have invented an Im-
proveinent in Stoves, of which the following
is a specification.
This invention relates to stoves, and more
particularly to an improvement in gas heat-
10 ing stoves.
One of the principal objects of the inven-
tion is to provide a heating stove adapted
to utilize artificial or natural gas to equal
advantage, the construction and arrange-
15 ment of parts being such that a thorough
combustion of the.gas is assured and maxi-
mum utility of the heat units is attained.
Another object of the invention is to pro-
vide a stove having means for sufficiently
20 retarding the passage of heat through the
stove to utilize the heat both for purposes
of radiation and for heating the air used
in combustion of the gaseous fuel, previously
to the contact of the air with the burner.
25 A further object of the invention is to'
provide an improved stove of the class de-
scribed, which will be simple, durable, effi-
cient in operation and inexpensive to manu-
facture.
30 With these and other objects in view
which will become apparent as the descrip-
tion proceeds, the invention resides in the
construction, combination and arrangement
of parts hereinafter more fully described
35 and claimed, and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing in which like characters
of reference indicate like parts throughout
the several figures, of which-
Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional
40 view taken centrally through the stove, Fig.
2 represents a horizontal sectional view on
the plane indicated by the line 2-2 of Fig.
1, Fig. 3 represents a similar view taken on
the plane indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig.
45 1, and Fig. 4 represents a vertical sectional
view taken through the burner on the line
4-4 of Fig. 2.
Referring more particularly to the draw-
ing, the stove comprises a cylindrical body.
50 5 supported by a base 6, which is in turn
supported by .legs 7, said base having an
annular portion 8 forming the bottom of
the stove; and an inner casing or air tube
9 disposed within the body 5 and spaced on
55 all sides -equally from the walls thereof and
disposed at its lower end within a circularopening cut centrally of the base 6. Said
base is provided with a pair of concentric
upstanding flanges 10 and 11 respectively,
the lower end of the body 5 embracing the 60
former on its outer edge and being secured
thereto in, any desirable manner, the latter
flange encircling the lower portion of air
tube 9 and being secured to said tube.
A removable cover 12 is positioned upon the 65
upper end of body 5, said cover being pro-
v-ided with an encircling flange 13 disposed
above the lower edge 14 of. the cover, be-
t~ween which flange and edge the upper end
of the body is disposed whereby the cover is a
kept in position on the body. Surrounding
air tube 9, and secured thereto in spaced re-
lation from the bottom 8, is an annular ring
or disk 15, which forms a partition diiding
the .stove into an upper and lower chamber, 75
A and B respectively.
The tube 9 extends nearly to the top of
the body portion of the stove,. and upon the
upper end of the tube rests an annular
burner 16 connected by a plurality of hollow so
arms 17 with a feed pipe 18 which is dis-
posed centrally within tube 9 and at .its
lower end connects, 'by means of an elbow
19, with a second pipe 20 projecting at one
end through an opening in the base 6 of the 85
stove, and adapted to receive at its outer
end 21 any suitable form of mixer,. not
shown. The burner is of a diameter greater
than the diameter of tube 9 and somewhat
less than the diameter of the body portion 9o
5, and substantially overhangs said tube on
all sides, and the burner is formed in cross-
section as shown in Fig. 4, having upper
walls 22 and 23 disposed substantially at
right, angles to each other, the wall 22 being 95
somewhat less in width than the wall 23,
and forming the outer wall of the burner,
and said walls are connected by a substan-
tially U-shaped bottom 24, openings 25 being
provided in the walls through which the gas lo
may pass to be burned.
A draft pipe or flue 26 is secured at its
oer end to the body of the stove and com-
municates with the lower chamber B through
an opening 27 cut therein, and communicates 105
with the upper chamber A at a point level
with the burner 16, through a sleeve 28 hav-
ing a damper 30 positioned therein. The
body 5 opposite sleeve 28 is provided with
an opening 31 adapted to be normally 110
closed by a door 32.
The operation of my' stove may be briefly1,110,854.
