IMPROVEMENT IN COAL- STQVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters iglatpnt and making'part of the same.

-ieut mode of separating the refuse products of combustion from the burning fuel above them, so that ordinary coal-fires may be perpetuated at will.

Also, that the ash and cinder, which are the refuse products of combustion, may be conveniently removed at any time, without disturbing the fire above.V

Also, to secure as favorable a draught as possible for the entire consumption of the coal, with all its escaping combustible gas. v

I use nograte. The placeordinarily occupied by a grate, I leave n'early open and free to a hopper below,

'for the reception l'of the refuse products, as they are separated from and by the burning mass above. and 4from which hopper they are discharged, at will, by

means of aslide' out-oij-ust beneath it.

Figure 1 is a. plan View of a common cylinder-stove, containing my improvements.

Figure 2 is a perpendicular-middle section, and.

shows all the parts.

- a is the ash-pit, which may receive a drawer.

`b is a removable slide, shutting up the bottom of thehopper, and to be Opera-ted for the `delivery of ash and cinder past it into the asl1`pit. c is the ash-hopper, and in this instance it is attached permanently, by narrow branches al d, to E, which is a ribbed circle, and, is hung, so as to be vibrated easily, just below the fire-chamber, by means of the hand-lever j'.

g is the lower portion of :ihre-chamber. The operation of the stove is as follows:

The draught is a side draught, h h h, in this instance extending entirely around, and just below the fire-chamber, and occupying the space between the top of the hopper c, and the fire-chamber, or rather the ribbedcircle e', which is at the base of the ire-ohaiber. than the top of the hoppers, so as to v protect the draught from beingquickly embanked byashe's.

Let the hopper be closed at the bottom by the slide b, andV filled. with` either ashes orfcoal, a little4 abovethe draught; then kindle the re, and feed it, as usual; and whenever the ash-hopper becomes so filled and heaped up, as to obstruct the draught toomuch, the slide beneath it should be operated to pass the required amount of its contents into the ash -pit or drawer be' low. 'And if, by reason Of a self-bridging process, oommon with coal-tires, the whole mass needs urging downward, it is easily done by vibrating the ring 'e by the" lever f.

I claim, as my inventionl. The ash.- hopper e, 'or its equivalent, applied as a medium of communication from thetire-chamberto the ash-pit, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. The annular or side draught, accomplished withf out a grate between the ash-pit' and the. lire-chamber, and below the feed-door, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

rlhe ribbed ring e', Or its equivalent, in combina tion with the re-ohambcr above, and ash-hopperbelow, substantially as and for the purpose hereinset forth.

4. The slide b, in combination with the hopper and ash-pit, substantially as set forth.
