Description: |
| FX patents are fractional X patents. This patent is #5497 1/2.
This patent is listed by some sources as being granted on 11 Jun., 1829.
Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 X-patent documents were recovered.Because of the Patent Office fire in Dec. 1836, little is known about this patent.
There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"This is an ingeniously constructed stove, and probably a very good one. The fire is placed immediately below the upper plate, and there are perforations in this plate for kettles, pans, &c. The oven is below the fire, and the flame and smoke are made to descend by four flues, one at each corner, forming a semicircular projection at each angle of the stove. These flues are carried under the oven, so as to distribute the heat equally, and the smoke at length escapes by four contiguous openings at one side, and at the bottom of the stove, where a common pipe connects them with the chimney.
The claim is to the projecting flues, which render the fire department more square and compact than any other. The advantage derived from four flues, by which the flame, or heat, is drawn from the centre to each corner of the fire department, passing with great regularity under the boilers, and then descending and passing through the horizontal flues, by which it is distributed with unequalled regularity and effect, under the oven; the said horizontal flues being connected, and cast with the bottom plate of the oven.”
