Letters Patent No. 98,800, dated January 11, 1870.

CHIMNEY-TOP.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all who-m it may concern:

' Be it known that I, C. M. REYNOLDS, of Mifdin, in the county of Iowa, and in the State' of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Chimneys; and do hereby declare that 'the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being'had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference I marked thereon, making a part of this specification.V

The nature of my invention consists in thc construction and arrangement of a metallic chimney;7 as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled inthe art t0 which my invention appertains, to male and use the same, I'will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, which represents a longitudinal vertical sect-ion of my invention.

A represents the saddle of the chimney, made so as to tit the roof of thel house.

Upon the saddle A is secured the body B, of the chimney, 'having at its upper end the flanges or projections O O.

' The body B is covered by a cap,D, which overlaps the upper edge of the body, asy shown at x, so that rain 0r snow cannot penetrate within the chimney, but will be carried o" 011 the outside.

Through the centre of the cap D the pipe E passes, said pipe passing downward the entire length of the chimney, and is made'fast to the centrcof the saddle A.

Around the lower edge of the pipe E, through the saddle A, is a series of holes, a a', for the purpose of allowing'air to pass upward between the body B and the inner pipe E, and find an outlet through holes i Ii, near the upper edge of .the body B.

The hole in the roof for chimney must be cut about the same size as the body B, of the chimney, and the inner pipe or chimney, E, being smaller than the outer body, leaves au air-chamber, through which the advantage ot' the ventilator `carrying the Vheated and.

foul air.

The upper end ofthe pipe E is covered by an 21djustable cap, G,projecting beyond theedges ot' the pipe, and so arranged that the smoke escapes at the sides, and does not go directly upward after leaving the pipe.

Around the upper edge of the body B, isa flange, F, which projects upward above the upper edge of the pipe E, a suitable distance, so that the wind will not interfere with the exit of the smoke from the pipe.

llie'entire chimney, thus constructed, is made of sheet-iron, and is consequently much lighter than cast-iron or brick, and can be much more easily adjusted, and its cost will be triing, compared with the others.,

Having thus fully described my invention, What lI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i The arrangement of the upper flange adjustable cap G, pipe E, cap D, with overlapping flange x, projections O, perforated body B, and perforated saddle A, all substantially as shown and described..l

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 30th day of October, 1869.
