Improvements in Heating Attachments for Gas, Gasoline, Oil, and
other Cooking Stoves.
I, JOSEPH GUY, of 304 Mott Street, in the City of New York, in the County
of New York, and State of New York, United States of America, Inventor, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN HEATING
ATTACHMENTS FOR GAS, GASOLINE, OIL AND OTHER COOKING STOVES, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly ascertained and
described in and by the following statement. :-
When gas and oil cooking stoves are employed for cooking it is often desirable
in cool weather, to obtain from them heat for the purpose of warming the apartment
The burners of such stoves
in which such stoves are located, or adjoining rooms.
are, however, generally at the top of the device and not capable of imparting to
the atmosphere of the room any great amount of heat.
It is the object of my improvement to provide a simple and inexpensive attach-
ment for ordinary gas, gasoline, or oil cooking stoves by the use of which a great
amount of heat can be economically obtained therefrom and which may be readily
put in place or removed accordingly as it is desired to use the stove for heating or
cooking.
With such object in view my invention consists in the parts and combinations
thereof hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In order to make my invention more clearly understood I have shown in the
accompanying drawings means for carrying it, into practical effect without
limiting my improvements in their useful applications to the particular con-
struction, which, for the sake of illustration, I have delineated.
drawings:-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a heater embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
In said
Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the burner or burners of an ordinary gas
cooking stove, portions of the top of which latter are shown at 2.
3 indicates one or more ascending drums or ducts, their number depending on the
number of burners to be utilized for heating purposes, open at their lower ends and
adapted to fit over said burners and act as flues therefor.
4, 4 are elbows formed at the upper ends of the drums 3 and extending
horizontally to a central descending box or duct 5 with which they communicate.
The box is otherwise closed at its upper end. It extends from the place where it
receives said elbows, or continuations of the drums 3, downward to a point
somewhat above the level of the burners, and is provided with means for limiting
the exit of the air therefrom, so as to cause the air and products of combustion,
carried up the drums 3 from the burners, to thoroughly heat the drums and box 5
before they escape. Such means may consist of a plate 6 which partially closes
the end of the box 5. Preferably the air opening or openings, shown at 7, is
or are arranged near the side walls or plates of the box 5, as shown, so as to
cause the heating air to pass down close to said walls and highly heat the box on
all sides.
8, 8 indicate doors in the drums 3 near their lower ends, and in proximity to the
burners 1. Through these doors the burners may be lighted, and an additional

page_text: quantity of air may be admitted to the drums, and, being provided with panes 9 of
mica, serve to display the burner flames.
At their lower ends the drums are shaped, as by notches 10, to interlock with
portions of the stove top, such as the bars 2º, and secure the heater from falling
over.
I prefer to construct the attachment of sheet iron surmounting it by an
ornamental top or vase 11.
12 is a door formed in the side of the box 5 whereby the exit of a greater
quantity of air may be permitted, and through which such air may be thrown
horizontally outward into the room in a strong current.
When in place and in operation the drums 3 can be heated to cherry redness by
the amount of gas ordinarily consumed by cooking burners, and the air from said
drums combining in the box 5 the latter is also very highly heated, the whole
device serving to produce much warmth and obtaining the maximum calorific effect
from the gas consumed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A detachable heater for gas, or oil or other cooking stoves, consisting of
supporting drums open at their lower ends and adapted to rest upon the stove over
the burners thereof, and the central depending box or drum carried by and com-
municating with said supporting drums, and having at its lower end an exit opening
or openings for the heated air, substantially as set forth.
