Improvements in Stove Pipes or Flues.
We, ANDREW MICHAEL SCHIML and JOHN CHRISTOPHER SCHWANENGEL
both of Dayton, County of Montgomery, Ohio, U.S.A., Mechanics, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to means for preventing the pipe or flue leading from
a stove, from entering too far into the connecting flue or chimney.
For this purpose a short length of pipe fixed in or to the flue or chimney is made
large enough for the pipe leading from the stove to enter. At different points in
its circumference the short length of pipe is dished outwards and in these outwardly
projecting parts are attached wires which are led through a guide round the edge
and into the short length in such a way that the entering stove pipe may be slid
past the inner ends of the wires but cannot pass further than the end of the short
length owing to the wires stopping its further progress. The wires extend into.
the short length for the greater portion of its length and are suitably curved.
in shape to permit the stove pipe to pass by and be held frictionally by
their ends.

We, ANDREW MICHAEL SCHIML and JOHN CHRISTOPHER SCHWANENGEL,
both of Dayton, County of Montgomery, Ohio, U.S.A., Mechanics do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following.
statement:-
This invention relates to a flanged stove pipe connection for preventing the
pipe or flue leading from a stove from entering too far into the connecting flue.
or chimney.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is an elevation of the stove pipe connection
or thimble of this invention attached to the stove pipe or flue and with a portion
broken away to shew the relation of the parts. Fig. 2 is an end view looking in
the direction of the arrow.
The thimble A comprises a piece of pipe provided with the flange C on its outer
end. Three cavities 3 are struck up and have a central orifice to receive the ends
of the binding wires, and corresponding with these raised portions are the three
ears 1, within which are orifices to admit of the passing of the heads of said wires..
The binding wire D comprises the bend 5 at a right angle, the reverse curve 6, the.

page_text: long curve 4 of the body, and the short curve 7 at the inner end. The binding
wires are formed as shewn, with the exception that the ends are normally together,
and when in place the ends press against the inner surface of the thimble. The
raised portion of the thimble is to hold the end of the binding wire in such
position that the entering pipe cannot come in contact with the end as the same is
forced in.
B is a section of stove pipe that is forced into the thimble, and cannot be forced
in beyond the reverse curve of the said binding wires. The same passes under the
ends of said binding wires, and these bear against the inner surface of the stove
pipe and tend to hold it firmly in position.
In use, the thimble is placed in the orifice of the flue up to the flange and the
end of the stove pipe is inserted. The several binding wires are identical and
at equal distances apart, and a less number than three would answer, and one
would suffice.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
1. The flanged stove pipe thimble provided with raised portions and corresponding
ears, the binding wire secured to said raised portions and ears, and adapted to
arrest and bind an inserted stove pipe, substantially as described and sbewn.
2. The binding wire comprising the outer end bent at a right angle, the reverse
bend and curved inner end adapted to press against the inner surface, in combination
with the pipe provided with a raised portion and ear to hold the outer end of said
binding wire, substantially as described and shewn.
Dated this 11th day of March 1897.
