An Improved Stove.
I, ALEXANDRE DEYDON of Boulevard Henri IV Paris in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in an improved stove intended principally for heating
dwelling rooms with charcoal. The stove consists of two main parts, a brazier and a
dome or cover therefor.
The brazier is a vessel supported on legs and provided with a grating on which the
charcoal or other fuel is supported, over the vessel is a bridge supporting a vessel to
be filled with water. The dome or cover is made of stoneware or sandstone material
which is adapted to absorb the carbonic oxide formed from the burning charcoal so
that the said gas does not become diffused in the room heated by the improved stove.
The shape of the dome may vary it may be suitably made in a steep pyramidal form
on a rectangular base.

An Improved Stove.
I, ALEXANDRE DEYDON of Boulevard Henri IV Paris, in the Republic of France,
Manufacturer 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 inventions consists in an improved stove intended principally for heating
dwelling rooms with charcoal.
The stove consists of two main parts-a brazier and a dome or cover therefor.
The brazier is a vessel supported on legs and provided with a grating on which the
charcoal or other fuel is placed, over the vessel is a bridge supporting a vessel to be
filled with water. The dome or cover is made of stoneware or sandstone material
whick is adapted to absorb the earhonic oxyde formed from the burning charcoal, so
that the said gas does not become diffused in the room heated by the improved stove.
The shape of the dome may vary, it may be suitably made in a steep pyramidal
form on a rectangular base.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, half in section, of the brazier and water vessel, the cover
being shown only in dotted lines.
Fig. 2 is an elevation half in section of the said cover;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the brazier and water vessel.
A is the brazier, B the legs thereof, C the grating, D the bridge, E the water vessel,
G the cover.
The bridge is of any suitable form being omitted in Fig. 3. The
brazier A is provided with holes below the grating C.
The brazier is a trifle higher than the ordinary braziers, in order to facilitate the
action of the cover. The latter consists 1) of a part having the shape of quadrangular
prismatic frame intended to receive the heating appliance, 2) of the upper part, a
paraboloid of very high shape reminding one somewhat of the Eiffel tower; the outer
shape is however of little importance.
The dome or cover being the principal part of the apparatus causes by its construction

page_text: a continual air-current which keeps the charcoal alight without the necessity of
watching.
The apparatus being of sandstone has the advantage of heating the apartment
without producing oxyde of carbon therein and preventing persons especially children
from being burned by contact with the brazier.
For lighting it suffices to place at the bottom of the brazier crumpled paper and a
handful of dry wood. As soon as the latter has caught properly about 1 lb. of charcoal
is placed thereon; five minutes later the brazier is filled; the latter is then
supplied for 12 or 24 hours according to the fuel used.
For regulating when the charcoal is well alight, one covers the fire with cinders,
leaving the middle open; adding more or less according to the amount of heat one
requires.
It is recommended to light the brazier in a chimney or in the open air in order to
obtain a good fire before placing it under the dome. In order to obtain an even
temperature in an apartment, it is necessary to stir the brazier every 3 or 4 hours
with a shovel, to remove the ashes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
The improved stove consisting of the brazier combined with the cover, these parts
being severally constructed substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein
described.
