IMPROVEMENT IN GASOLINE ATTACHMENTS FOR COOKING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l [3,513, dated April 11, 1871.

To @ZZ who/l1, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK Hams; WORTH, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gasoline Attachments to Cooking-Stoves, and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which` Figure 1 is a top view of' an ordinary cooking-stove with my invention attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of my invention detached. Fig. 3 is'an inverted enlarged plan of the disk employed. Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical central section of the same, and Fig. 5 is a top view of the bridge-plate detached.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in the several figures of the drawings.

My invention has for its object to provide an attachment to cooking-stoves by the use of which gasoline vapor may be used for heating purposes in cooking; and to this end it consists in the detail construction of the disk employed, whereby the flame from the vapor is allowed vto come in contact with and against the tube conveying the oil from the reservoir, by which means a greater' flow of vapor is produced, also, in providing the periphery of said disk with a depending fiange so arranged as to form an annular opening between its innerside and the outer side of the disk, in connection with an annular projection extending downward` from the center of said disk, against which the vapor from the tube is discharged, whereby the flame is thrown outward against the flange and through the opening to the desircd point; and also in providing the bridgeplate of the stovev with apertures, through which the tube from the reservoir passes to the desired point of the disk.

In the drawings, A represents the reservoir containing gasoline-oil, which is provided near its upper end with a hook, a, which is secured within a loop, b, affixed to pipe B of the stove. Attached to said reservoir is a pipe, C, to the lower end of which is secured a coupling, D, within which said coupling is iirmly affixed tubesd d, which extend forward upon or slightly above the upper surface of the stove to a point near therear side of the bridgeplate E, and are then bent downward, passing through apertures e e, formed in said plate, to a point below the lower surface of the same, and are then bent to a horizontal position, and extend forward to or near the center of the openings F F of the stove, and are bent laterally outward and their outer ends curved, as shown inv Fig. 2. Secured within said tubes near coupling D are stop-cocks ff, which are so arranged as to retain the oil within the reservoir or allow the same to escape therefrom through the tubes, as desired. Loosely affixed upon said tubes d d at or near the center of openings F F ofthe stove/and over the curved ends of the tubes are perforated disks G G. The said disks are made in two parts and connected together upon the upper side by astrap, g, pass ing across the same, and upon the lower surface by an annular projection, II, so :arranged as to form an opening, h, between the two parts of the disk under and parallel with the tube.

A Affixed to the outer ends of strap g and around the periphery of the disk is a fiange, J, which extends downward below the lower surface of projection H, and is so arranged as to form an annular space, K, between its inner side and the outer side of the disk.

With my invention one or both disks may be used a't the same time, as may be desired, in ,which the operation is as follows: The oil contained in the reservoir is conducted from the same through the respective tubes d d to and over the opening It ofthe disk. An amount sufficient to produce a flame is allowed to escape through the end of the tubes, and is ignited the flame therefrom passing through said opening to and against the tubes above the disk, heating the same, by which means a vapor is generated frointhe oil, which is discharged against projection II of the disk, and the flame therefrom is thrown from the center outward against flange J and through opening K to the desired point.

It will be observed that the bridge-plate E of the stove is provided with apertures e e, cut through its rearside, and through which the respective tubes pass, the object of which is to make it both convenient and practical to attach the apparatus to any of the different forms of stoves, as the bridge-plate only is necessary l provided with apertures e e, substantially as to be furnished, in connection with the appaand for the .purpose described. ratus, to render the attachment complete. 3. In combination with the bridgeplate E,

Having thus described my invention, what I the tubes d d, disks G G, and reservoir A, the Claim as new, and desire to seeure by Letters Whole arranged substantially as and for the Patent, is- I purpose described.

l. One or more perforated disks G, pro- T Y vided with projection H, flange J, and open l FREDERICK HAILSWORTH ings h and K, substantially as and for the purpose described.
