TRUMAN DEAN GARD, OF KOKOMO, INDIANA.

GASOLENE-VULCANIZER.

To all 'w/wm it may concern:

Be it known that I, TRUMAN D. GARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kokomo, in the county of Howard and Statev of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Gasolene-Vulcanizer, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a vulcanizer adapted to be employed for repairing auto and motorcycle tires of any description.

One object of the present invention is to provide a device of this type which may be readily applied to the tire and with equal pertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description'proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the inventionherein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings :Figure 1 shows the invention in side elevation; Fig. 2 is a top plan; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section.

In the present embodiment of the invention, a pair of movably connected members are provided, one member being in the form of a base or primary lever 1, equipped adjacent one end with a laterally extended supporting foot 2, the primary lever 1 adjacent its opposite end being broadened to form a compression member 3. Intermediate its ends, the primary lever 1 is provided with an ear 4 which is slotted as indicated at 5. One end of the lever 1 is equipped with an upstanding lug 6.

The secondary lever is denoted by the numeral 7 and intermediate its ends is provided with an ear 8 which registers in the slot 5 of the ear 4; there being a pivot element 9 connecting the ears 8 and 4:. There is Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed m 15, 1915. Serial No. 40,082.

a lug 10 upon the lever 21. An arched compresslon spring 11 is interposed between the levers 1 and 7 and bears against the levers,

adjacent their free ends, the spring 11 being provided with openings receiving the lugs 6 and 10. As indicated at 21, the secondary lever 7 is arched throughout a portion of its length, transversely, to fit the hand of the user. In the lever 7 there may be formed an opening 12, beyond which is located a trans verse head 14 provided-with approximately parallel arms 15.

Disposed between the arms 15 is a combined fuel receptacle and compression element taking the form of a cup 16 provided with trunnions 17 which are pivoted in the arms 15. Upstanding from the bottom of the cup 16 are frusto-pyramidal pillars 18.

In practical operation, the free ends of the" levers 1 and 7 may be pressed together, putting the spring 11 under compression. In this manner, the cup 16 will be spaced apartfrom the compression element 3 of the rimary lever 1 and the tire or other article which is beingv mended may be placed between the cup 16 and the compf'ession member 3. When pressure upon the free ends of the levers 17. is released, the spring 11 will cause relative movement between the levers 1 and 7, the combined compression member and fuel receptacle 16 coiiperating with the compression element 3 to exert a pressure upon the tire 20. At this point it is to be noted that owing to the pivotal mounting of the cup 16, the, samewill cooperate properly with the compression element 3 under the action of the spring 11.

A quantity of fuel, preferably a volatile hydrocarbon, indicated at 19, is placed in the cup 16 and is ignited. Thus the vulcanizing operation will be carried out, the pillars 18 serving to conduct the heat into the bottom of the cup 16.

a combined compression element and fuel holder pivoted to the other member; and spring means engaged with the members to cause the compression elements to coact.

2. In a device of the class described, a pair of levers pivotally connected intermediate their ends, one lever being provided at one end with a compression element, and the Having thus described the invention, what 100 other lever being provided at the corresponding end with a pivotally mounted fuel the ears from the compression element and the fuel holder.

4. A vulcanizer comprising a pair of pivotally connected members one of which is provided with a compression element; and

a combined compression element and fuel receptacle pivoted to the other member.

5. A vulcanizer comprising a pair of levers connected intermediate their ends, one of the levers at one end being provided with a compression element, and there being a combined compression element and fuel receptacle pivoted to the corresponding end of the other lever, the opposite ends of the levers constituting handles to effect a separation of the compression elements.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
