CIGAR MOISTENER.
APPLICATION FILED MAR. 7, 1914.

THEODORE L. WIESE, OF MILWAUkEE, WISCONSIN.
CIGAR-MOISTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 29, 1914.
Application filed March 7, 1914. Serial N 0. 823,076.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, THEODORE L. Wmsn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of \Visconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Moi'steners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in cigar mosteners.
The object of my invention is to provide an inexpensive, attractive and reliable means for moistening the atmosphere in a show-case or other chamber where cigars or tobacco are kept, whereby a substantially uniform degree of moisture may be maintained.
A further object of 'my invention is to provide means for utilizing such a device for advertising purposes;
In the drawings-Figure l isa sectional view of a cigar moistener embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional View drawn on line asa2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a diagram of the electrical connections.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
The base A is provided with a tubular standard 13 surmounted by a globular reservoir 0 open at the top and provided with a deflector D, whereby vapor escaping from the globe will be deflected and distributed laterally instead of being permitted to rise directly against the glass top of a show-case. The reservoir C is provided with an opening in its bottom communicating with the interior of the tubular standard B. The defiector D is supported by an arm D, and near its outer margin it loosely bears upon the upper margin of the reservoir C. An electrical heating coil E is mounted in the tubular standard B. lVater in this standard is received in the annular space between this coil and the outer wall, or wall of the standard B. Preferably, however, I cap the standard B with a ring I), from which a double walled water receptacle 6 depends, this receptacle forming the annular reservoir B and also having a separate annular cavity for the coil E and a tubular central cavitv F to receive a thermostatic electrical switch, whereby the current in the coil may be controlled. Said switch comprises a bar G provided with a fixed contact 9 and a thermostatic bar G provided with a contact 9, both of said bars being supported from an nsulated mounting H near the top of the cavity. The circuit is completed from any suitable source of electrical energy through the heating coil it, bar G, contacts gg, and thermostatic bar G to a return circuit conductor. beyond the desired point, the thermostatic bar G moves to the left, separating contact g from contact g, whereupon the circuit will be from coil E, through upper end of bar- G to lamp L and thence to the return circuit conductor. The heat is therefore prevented from rising above a predetermined point by in the circuit of the coil without breaking the circuit. A condenser L is preferably bridged across the lamp conductor.
The thermostat is so adjusted that sufficient heat will be generated in the coil to slowly vaporize the water in the and reservoir 0. The heat may beascertained by experiment and the contactsof the'thermost'at may be adjusted correspondingly. To facilitate this adjustment, I employ an adjusting screw 1, the inner end of which is connected to, but insulated from the bar G. This screw is manually actuated by means of a knob I,-
which is adapted to move longitudinally of the screw andalso adapted to rotatively actuate it. To avoid accidental displacement, I employ a stop J against which a pin J carried bythe knob, is adapted tostrike. If it is desired to rotate the knob beyond the stop, it must first be pulled outwardly until the pin J passes the stop, after which an additional one-turn rotation is possible.
The knob may also be provided with a series of gage marks, whereby a more accurate adjustment of the screw is possible than by simply having the pin J move into 0on tact with the stop J.
I employ the lamp L to prevent arcing and also utilize it for advertising purposes. It may be located in a chamber M, which is provided with a glass front N adapted to receive an suitable-advertisin si n. The
lamp L is connected in series with the heating coil, but is shunted from the circuit when contacts 9, g bridge the lamp conductors. Therefore when contacts 9, g are thermostatically brought together, the curincreasing the resistance cavity B- required degree of I But when the temperature rises rent through the heating coil will be increased and only a small portion of it will pass through the lamp, the resistance of the circuit being greatly decreased. The lamp will therefore be dimmed or its light wholly extinguished, the effect depending-wholly upon the relative resistance of the circuit through the contacts 9, g, and the circuit through the lamp.
I claim 1. .A vaporizer comprising a tubular standard, a reservoir supported thereby and having a liquid cavity extended into the standard, aheating chamber in said standard surrounded by the liquid cavity, an electrical'heater in the heating chamber, a. lamp electrically connected in series with the heater in said standard, a thermostat adapted to normally provide a shunt circuit for the heater across the lamp conductors, said thermostat being arranged to open said shunt circuit at a pre-determined degree of I heat, substantially as described.
2. A vaporizer including a tubular standard, a thermostat therein, a tube inclosing said thermostat except at the bottom, and an electrical heating coil and a liquid chamber in said standard each concentric with the thermostat inclosing tube, said thermostat controlling the heater, substantially as described.
3. A vaporizer including a tubular standard, a thermostat therein, and an electrical heating coil and a liquid chamber in said standard, each concentric with the thermostat, said thermostat controlling the heater, together with an auxiliary chamber provided with a transparent wall, and illumi-.
nating means in said chamber also controlled in said thermostat, substantially. as
described. Y
4. A vaporizer including a tubular standard, a thermostat therein, and an electrical heating coil and a liquid chamber in said standard, each concentric with the thermostat, said thermostat controlling the heater, together with an auxiliary chamber provided with a transparent wall, and illuminating means'in said chamber also controlled by said thermostat for operation in alternation with the maximum heating periods of the heater.
5. A vaporizer comprising a tubular standard, a reservoir supported thereby and having a liquid cavity extended into the standard, a heating chamber in said standard surrounded by the water cavity, an electrical-heater in the heating chamber, and a thermostatic device in said standard controlling the electrical heater, said reservoir being open at the top and provided with a deflector adapted to provide a lateral vapor.
