An improved love.
I, JULIUS THEODOR RICHARD HAHMANN of Päcknitzerstr., Dresden-Plauen,
in the German Empire, Manufacturer of Artistic Objects, 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 durable-burning and smoke-consuming stove in which
all kinds of fuel may be burnt and in which by reason of the burning of the smoke
the most favourable heating effect is produced whilst the daily fire making and the
troublesome cleaning of the stove is rendered unnecessary.
The heat may be
readily regulated to insure a healthful regular heating of the room in which the
stove is placed in conjunction with a quick and agreeable warming of the floor of
the same. It is simple in construction and for this reason may be produced at a
comparatively low price. It is easily transported from place to place.
In the drawing
Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a stove of this invention and Fig. 2 a cross
section of the same.
fis the fire space shut off at top so that the smoke gases must take their way
through fire clay piper which by its shoulder or collar u is supported on the
annular grate o which in cross section is somewhat of the form of a segment of a
circle. From piper the smoke gases pass into chamber and through flues < to the
upper space t of the stove. k is a bell shaped grate fixed over fire clay piper for
the purpose on the one hand of preventing the direct contact of the fuel with this
latter to protect it, and on the other hand of preventing the fuel from dropping
into the same when falling from the shaft s, further the fuel can only fall down out
of this shaft in a certain suitable manner being regulated by the bell shaped
grate k.
The consumption of the smoke is brought about by any hot gases reaching piper
incompletely utilised being nearly completely burned in this latter which is made
glowing hot by the flame striking through the bell shaped grate.
In consequence of the nearly complete burning of the smoke, considerable heat is
produced in chamber from which it is equally distributed to the entire stove. m is
an inner iron casing lined with fire clay or fire proof bricks or tiles e owing to which
it maintains its heat for a very long time whilst the outer air being in direct
contact with the outer iron casing i is warmed in the gentlest way (not radiating).
The annular grate o is mounted so as to be turnable round horizontally through
rod a provided at its outer end with a knob or handle n (Fig. 2). Such movement
is communicated to the grate for the purpose of causing the ashes collecting on the
same to fall into the ash boxes x. At any convenient part of the stove there may
be fitted a slide or damper which when the heat of the stove is too great is operated
to give a quick discharge to the chimney. h is a door provided with a mica window
for the observation of the fire.
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 durable-burning stove in which the smoke is consumed, by the smoke gases in
order to reach the upper part of the stove through chamber and flues having to
nass through a glowing nine of fire proof material proiecting from beneath unmards

page_text: into the fire space, and resting upon an annular grate having the cross sectional
form of a segment of a circle, substantially as described and shewn.
Dated this 9th day of March 1893.
