Like referencenumerals indicate like parts in the4 several views. As represented inthe drawing the oven is composed of a. series, of cornersections 1, a

yseries of intermediate wall sections2, and a seriesof horizontalupper or roof sections 3,

, with allot the sections preferably of the del. tail construction set .forth in my prior Patent No. 1,820,882, and each section compris- `ing an inner slablor filler 4; of heat insulatingmaterial, and. outer and inner inclosing plates 5 and 6 of metal secured to the slab Patented May 1 1., 1920.

Application filed December 13,1919, Serial No.y 344,743.

' or iiller l by end folds 5 and 6 of said platesengaging in grooves in theendsof the slab orfiller 4 in a manner to avo'iddirect heat conducting contact between' said plates 60 as shown more particularly in Fig. 2.`

if designates a joining tongue or strip of insulating material,"whichas in myformer patented construction, fits the end grooves of adjoining oven sections to'form a-` tight 65 and substantial ljoint between' said sections and'maintain the same in proper alin'ement.

One portion of the present invention'consists in forming the corner sections A1"'of the ,oven with vertical members" in angular re- 70 .provided with the above described kjoining groove in the end which adj oins an adjacent section of the oven'structure, as shownmore particularly in Fig. 2.

`.' .Anotlier portion of thepresent invention involves a door or closure member 8 for the 80 oven, ci? substantially the same detail construction as thewall and roof sections above described with the addition thereto of marginal extensions 9 Von the outer plate 8 of the door member adapted to lap over the margins ofthe oven doorway or opening as illustrated in Fig. 3. In the preferred conplate 8 will carry anangle bar or frame `10, which inconnection with the infold 11 90 vof the inner door plate 8".v will constitute the engaging means for said plates with the end grooves in the inner insulating slanci iiller 12 of the door, as wellas provide bear- .ingsuriaces for a filling strip 13`of.insulat 95 ing material.

Another part of the present invention comprises an angle bar 14: secured adjacent to a meeting end of an oven section, and

adapted to overlap the like end of an adj oining oven section and afford a more complete closuie of the joint'between said sections,

and maintain the same in properassembled relation. In the preferred construction of and horizontal portions are formed by slitting the outstanding web of the angle bar `the above described parts' opposed pairs of 105 'bends at the meeting point of the vertical 11o and then bending the base Web to the required angular relation, as shovvn more especially in Fig. 2. In addition to economy in manufacture such formation of parts provides a rectangular corner pocket adapted to receive top bracing angle bars new to be described.

15 designates bracing angle bars arranged at opposite top corners of the oven structure, and resting in the above described rectangular pockets of the angle bars 2li. The bracing angle bars 15 are secured in place by attachment to the corner bracing bars 16 of the oven and by anchor bolts 17 connecting said bars 15 to the angle bars 14 aforesaid.

18 designates tie bolts extending across the top of the oven and passing through the bracing angle bars 15 and through roof angle bars 11i to tie and hold together the roof sections in proper assembled relation.

19 designates horizontal tie bolts passing through brackets 20 and 21 secured to the aforesaid corner bracing bars 16 of the oven to secure the vertical side sections of the oven together in manner substantially as set forth in my prior patent aforesaid.
