[Link back to Part 3]
Because there were SO MANY patents, particularly Design patents, in this next five-year period, I'm going to experiment with a different way of doing these posts -- basically, including fewer illustrations (maybe just one for every ten patents?). There are just too many, and they take time to load and lots of space. What I have done instead is to set up a dedicated Flickr album for ALL of the New York Capital District patents I have copied, and suggest that anybody reading this opens it in another window or tab while looking here, so that you can swap easily from reading the text to seeing the image. If you're smart you can probably even have the windows side-by-side.
I have also edited patent titles to add information from the patent itself (about the type of stove, particularly when the official patent title is just "Stove", and even the stove name, when that's provided), doing this within square brackets [...] to make it clear what's extra.
What I have not done, yet, is to continue giving information, biographical and otherwise, about patentees, assignees, and even some witnesses. There are just too many, and I am planning to handle this differently in future. When I have finished (whenever that may be, and whatever "finished" might look like), I will probably do a wrap-up post which draws together the key names -- the most active patentees, assignees, and even witnesses (which will identify the key patent agents and other professionals servicing the Capital District stove industry by mid-century) -- and provides mini-biographies and information about individuals' and companies' contributions.
1848: 6 Improvement Patents, 18 Designs
No. 5459
Hillson, RobertAlbany
Hot-Air furnace
February 29, 1848
Witnesses: Learned, William L. & Viell, Rufus K.
A large, mostly brick-built installation [Flickr pic]. Its main benefit or innovation was supposed to be creating a draught enabling the heating of rooms at the same level as the furnace, by supplying an air feed to the furnace from the room itself. It also used sand-insulated double air pipes, to reduce fire risk when passing through partitions etc. as well as increasing efficiency.

[Premium] Cooking Stove
March 21, 1848
Witnesses: Greenough, William & Fitzgerald, W.P.N.
"My improvements are chiefly applicable to that description of stove well known among makers and dealers as the 'Premium Stove,' [Flickr pic] in which a single oven is situated immediately in rear of the fire chamber, there being direct flues the full breadth of the stove opening into the fire chamber both above and below the oven, the former communicating directly with the smoke pipe, and the latter connecting with a vertical flue at the back of the stove, which passes up to the smoke pipe. One of the principal objections to the Premium stove has been that when the oven is in use, the principal part of the heat traveled in a direct line and in one body to the smoke pipe, passing through the center of the flue beneath the oven; by which means while the middle portion of this latter is unduly heated and the plates burned out, the sides are left comparatively cool; and this latter difficulty is aggravated by the effects of the increased radiation from these portions owing to their greater exposure to the external air."
Granger's remedies for these problems were baffles in flues, and a hollow iron cavity behind the oven, with air holes at either side, and additional flues behind the oven, to prevent burning out the plates and for heat equalisation within the oven. He supplied detailed construction information.
No. 5502
Geer, Gilbert
Troy
Cooking Stove
April 11, 1848
Witnesses: Browne, A.P. & Greenough, J.J.
A 4-boiler stove with two more in the front hearth "Summer Arrangement" [Flickr pic] -- clearly a standard feature by then, "connected with the stove in the usual way..." Nice floral patterns on the doors. Smoke pipe at front, i.e. this is a large-oven stove like Davy's ##, bypassing the Buck patent, but at a cost in terms of convenience? Geer's main claim was "the manner of connecting the summer arrangement with the stove so that the draft thereform can be readily turned either into the fire chamber and thence follow the flue around the oven or into the exit pipe direct without imparting heat to any part of the stove, the dampers being so arranged as to revolve and cover either of the openings at pleasure."

[Cook] Stove-Flue
December 5, 1848
Witnesses: Camp, Harry & Mayfield, Isaac
The drawing is titled "Cooking Stove" but only contains images of flues -- the three flues beneath the oven bottom, i.e. a Hathaway, Hermance, or Buck-type stove. Their objectives were the usual -- "equal distribution of heat; increase of draft; and protection of the flue space from cold air" via a gradual increase in flue size from inlet to exit (i.e. as in the Filley "Charter Oak," ##, see next post), and locating the return flue beneath the oven flues rather than either side of it. This layout, like many other innovations in stove flue design, was based on experience and observation rather than a very scientific theory of heat or gas flow.
No. 5967

Albany
Cooking Stove
December 12, 1848
Witnesses: Keller, Charles M. & Meynig, G.
Buck's last invention (he died in 1849) was a double oven stove [Flickr pic] rather like his rivals Hathaway and Hermance:
"The nature of my improvements consist, first, in the arrangement of the two ovens, one (that is, the main one) at the back of the fire place, and extending, if desired, partly under it, and the other in front of the main one extending under the open hearth, when this is combined with an arrangement of flues by which the draft is caused to pass over the main oven, down two side, flues at the back, along two side flues at the bottom, then uniting in a single flue under the front oven, up in front thereof over the top and between it and the open hearth, then down a diving flue between the two ovens to a return flue under the main oven and between the two side flues, arid thence up through a middle flue at the back to the chimney-the said central return flue at the bottom of the main oven being provided with a sliding damper which when open permits the draft after passing through the two main flues at the bottom to enter and pass through the said return flue to the chimney without passing around the front oven, so that by means of the sliding damper both ovens or only the main one may be heated. And the second part of my invention consists in making hot air chambers between the central and the two side flues at the back, and the two main and the return flues at the bottom by making the partitions double, that is, of two plates," when this is combined with apertures through the bottom and back plates of the stove for the free admission of air to be heated in these chambers to aid in baking."
"By my improvements the heat that passes through the flues will heat the air in the chambers formed between them and in that way aid in heating the oven or ovens; and by the arrangement of the flues in combination with the arrangement of the two ovens and the dampers the two ovens can be heated regularly, and the heat carried around one or both ovens at pleasure, and when carried around both it will present the additional advantage of heating the open hearth plate sufficiently to admit of broiling and carrying on other culinary operations, which has not heretofore been done without a separate fire in the hearth."
The patent also gives extensive attention to the means of ventilating the oven and flues.
No. 5987
Orcutt, Lysander A.

Cooking Stove
December 26, 1848
Witnesses: Ellison, William S. & Wilson, R.J.
"[S]ubstituting in cooking stoves an open 'Franklin fire place' in lieu of the usual close fire chamber [Flickr pic]; (said open fireplace however being so arranged as to be capable of being converted at pleasure into a close fire chamber); and also in a new arrangement of flues and apertures to create a current of hot air through the oven, to carry off the moisture, &c., generated in the act of baking." Four boiler holes and one in the front hearth, with the smoke pipe in the center of the top plate. Supplied with a wood or coal grate -- "the whole arrangement combines all the conveniences of an open fire place for roasting, broiling, &c., as also the cheerfulness of an open fire, when used only for heating, with all the advantages of a close airtight cooking stove." The stove also introduced hot air to heat/ventilate the oven.

[The Capitol Air-Tight Cook] Stove
January 18, 1848
Witnesses: Smith, Henry W. & Law, S.D. [Flickr images begin here]
"THE CAPITOL. SMITHS (sic) CELEBRATED AIR-TIGHT COOKING STOVE, Summer & Winter, Wood & Coal. TWO STOVES IN ONE. Patented Jany. 18th 1848."
"[A] new and improved design for the Stove plates of a Stove (called, to distinguish it, the Capitol) of which the following is an exact description. The design or ornament is on the exterior surface of the side and top plates of the stove..." -- "an intertwisted vine with leaves and clusters ... a branching ornament ... an upright flower from which proceed branching stems and from the lower part of which runs a vine ... edging ... an ornamented vase with upright and branching stems .... a tapering plant and curved branches."
Understandably, this degree of detail in the description of a design was unusual. Far more common and economical was simply to make reference to the drawings. Smith's drawings seem to be a bit distorted, exaggerating the width of the stove? The drawing shows LEARNED as the maker's name.

Drawing witnessed by Erastus Geer; no detailed description of the design and ornamentation, just "as seen by the model and drawings." Submitting a model, as with Improvement patents, was neither required nor yet prohibited, so some designers continued to send in cast-iron plates as well as drawings, to clutter the Patent Office until they were discarded.

Allen, F.W.
Waterford
[Radiator or Air Tight Parlor] Stove
August 10, 1848
Witnesses: Armsby, J.C. & Cramer, J.
The drawing says "Manuf'd F.W. Allen & Co., Waterford, Sold by [Blank] Troy, NY," i.e. the pattern could be customized for individual wholesale dealers who bought from Allen's foundry. "The front plate of this stove is cast with a foliated base resting upon ornamented legs having reeded projections at the angles crowned by an enriched foliated entablature, and base panelled and ornamented with various characters of figures and flowers and a circular ornamented register..." The other plates were described in similar detail. As noted above, most designers made no attempt to describe their work in so many words. Perhaps they lacked the vocabulary, or were they just not bothered? The ornamented plates made up "a composition when taken as a whole which is entirely new," though like almost all stove designs it was just an assembly of standard elements.

Cooking Stove
January 30, 1849
Witnesses: Greenough, J.J. & Greenough, William
A 6-boiler stove, oblong (i.e. single oven, not L-shaped), whose oven vents into the firebox. Claimed innovation: "introducing highly heated air into the oven of a reverberatory or diving flue cooking stove, the air itself being made to pass around three sides of the oven before entering it." Three-flue smoke flue system described as "an old and well known one, no further description thereof is deemed necessary." Hot-Air flues around the oven, from an air space behind the firebox, "regulate and reduce the excess of heat at the front and top, and distribute it more equally through the oven, portions only of the top and back plate radiate heat directly into the oven, while all the surplus heat from the fire is carried into the oven, near or at its bottom, to disseminate through it, and is thence conveyed in a heated state, together with the steam and effluvia arising from cooking, directly into the fires, to support combustion."

A modification to "cross or center pieces to cooking stoves and ranges, thereby greatly increasing their durability and strength," by placing a cast-iron tray underneath them "thereby avoiding the loss of the center or cross piece by its settling when heated." "[A]fter casting the center or cross piece and shell I take them to the grindstone (as the most expeditious) and grind the faces of the parts that are to be placed in contact making a good joint," and rivet them together. There is a small opening through the top -- for the lifter/handle AND "the admission of air thereby keeping the shell and center piece cool. The great difficulty prior to my invention has been that the cross or center piece by becoming heated warped or settled in such a way as to render said cross or center piece entirely useless. The same difficulty exists if it has not been increased by casting a slight strap on the under side of the cross or center piece."

David Stuart and Richard Peterson, Philadelphia [ASSIGNORS] get the reissue: "they now believe the said patent to be inoperative and invalid by reason of a defective specification."
* Chollar's invention had been to improve durability and strength of centers/cross pieces by the addition of a hollow projection/chamber beneath [for air circulation, stiffening]. "The usual cross or center pieces ... are made of simple flat plates of cast iron, which, owing to the intense and constant heat to which they are subjected, soon sink in the middle and become so warped and bent, and so unfit for the purpose intended as to require repeatedly replacing with new ones. This evil is obviated..."

Sad-Iron-Heating Furnace
March 12, 1850
Witnesses: Sheldon, Richard S. & Anthony, A.C.
Portable. This was not the first sad-iron heating furnace, but it was far more sophisticated, and a model for many of those that followed. Aim: "to construct such an apparatus as would afford a convenient mode of heating the flats (sad-irons) and at the same time throw out but little heat into the room." Topped by a heating chamber leaving "the handle exposed to the cooling influence of the external air," a revolving drum "by which means the flats can be brought in regular rotation convenient to the ironer." Sad-iron heaters were a niche product, but it was a large enough potential market to attract considerable inventive attention after Davy blazed the way.

Key features: (1) "constructing the fire box so that it shall not crack in the expansion and contraction to which it is subject from the great and unequal degree of heat to which it is exposed;" (2) the front flue from the summer arrangement, used for broiling &c.; (3) a sliding hearth to get it out of the way [I can't see how this works from drawing].

[Smoke-Consuming] Stove
May 14, 1850
Witnesses: Greenough, William & Everett, Edward
"Many plans have been devised for the purpose of consuming smoke in the various species of stoves, furnaces, &c., by the admission of air above the fuel, which mixing with the inflammable gases and smoke in a heated state would consume them, provided the gases, &c., were at a sufficiently high temperature to ignite after being mixed with a stream of cold air. This difficulty of maintaining a temperature high enough to ignite the gases, has been the cause of failure in most instances; and another difficulty has been the imperfect intermixture of the inflammable gases with the atmospheric air which prevented their inflammation until they had become too cold to ignite." Atwood's answer to these problems was an air preheater and his design of air-inlet nozzles in the firebox.

[Heating] Stove
January 21, 1851
Witnesses: Elliott, William P. & Johnson, A.E.H.
Looks like a 6-plate, but with a coal grate and 2 doors to close it (sliding: disappear when open; air tight joints when closed). Object: "to combine the advantages of an open grate and a close stove."

Stove [Light Reflector and Evaporator]
January 28, 1851
Witnesses: De Witt, Richard Varick & Sanders, James B.
There is a mirror behind the urn. Description: "a new useful & ornamental apparatus for exhibiting & disseminating the light of stove-fires & for the arrangement of a water-evaporating vessel to operate in connection therewith, which I call 'Smith's Stove-Light Reflector & Evaporator." There were mica-covered lids for the boiler holes in the top plate, so that the light of fire comes up and is reflected by the mirror and refracted by the water in the evaporator "diffusing a pleasant light to illuminate the room .... a clearer light than is usually produced from the lateral glass openings commonly used in stoves, as the light of the burning materials is less obstructed by ashes, clinkers, &c., on the top than at the sides of the fire."

[Granger's] Air-Tight Franklin [Stove]
March 11, 1851
Witnesses: Browne, Alexander Porter & Bishop, William
"The great objection to Franklin stoves heretofore made has been their liability to smoke when without doors, or with doors swinging on hinges, since the quantity of air admitted could not be controlled to meet the capacity of the stove and flues, and the smoke would escape from the stove." Granger's answer: hot-air chambers; sliding doors -- "convert [the stove] at pleasure into an air-tight stove for economy in fuel and safety and convenience in use."

Stove with Portable Oven
July 29, 1851
Witnesses: Elliott, William P. & Johnson, A.E.H.
"[A] hand oven adapted to the fire-chamber or upper flue of any ordinary cooking stove;" "being so simple in its construction that it may be made by an ordinary tinman to suit any ordinary stove." Looked a bit like an inverted bread-bin, sitting over front two boiler holes; takes hot gas from the top of the firebox, circulates it around the oven in a tin jacket, passes back down into top flue.

Assigned to PHILO P. STEWART on 1 July 1863 -- and it's STEWART who makes this Reissue application. (1) Agitation via a lever moved horizontally to and fro to "crush and liberate cinders or clinkers." (2) "[V]ery convenient for use in cooking-stoves and furnaces which have but small space below the grate for the falling ashes and cinders" -- especially when the front of the oven extends under the firebox (tho I couldn't understand exactly why...)

[Charter Oak] Cook Stove
November 2, 1852
Witnesses: Savage, John J. & Johnston, T.
A square stove with an "oak branch, leaves and acorns" on all panels. The patent document does not say this, but the design was assigned to Giles Filley's Excelsior Stove Works in St Louis, Missouri, and went on to become the largest-selling cooking stove for the next several decades. Vedder's design gave the stove its lasting brand name as well as its appearance, and "Charter Oak" was eventually adopted by the company as its own name.
