NON-COMBUSTIIBLE WICK FOR HEATING AND COOKING STOVES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented A r. 11, 1916.
Application filed July 15. 1915. Serial No. 40,093.
Z '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS W. GLINES, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Vaseca, in the county of Waseca and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Combustible Wicks for Heating and Cooking Stoves, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to wicks, especially non-combustible wicks for use on heating and cooking stoves when saturated with kerosene or analogous fuel.
The primary object of the invention is to provide an asbestos wick that comprises a series of sheets of asbestos spaced to provide a porous and a looser structure than the ordinary asbestos wick; which may be accomplished by separating the asbestos sheets by combustible material and then this combustible. material as the last step in the process of making the completed wick.
Various other objects and advantages will become apparent during the continuance of the following description.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a View in longitudinal section of a wick constructed in accordance with my invention, illustrating the application thereof. Fig. 2 is a view in top plan, and Fig. 8 is a view in elevation of one of the non-combustible sheets used in the construction-of the Wick.
In the drawings, a wick tube 1 is provided which is of the usual configuration and includes the usual perforations. The lower terminal of the tube is turned upwardly in parallelism with the body to provide an annular channel which is adapted to receive the lower end of the wick in a manner hereinafter described.
The wick, in its oresent embodiment, primarily includes a plurality of sheets 2 of non-combustible material, as asbestos, having other sheets of combustible material, such as a vegetable fabric interposed there-v between. Each sheet mav be of an oblong configuration whereby when flexed an annulus will be provided for the reception into wick tube 1, as' shown in Fig. 1. After the several sheets have been arranged in proper structure may then be thoroughly dried by action of a hand torch or the like and subsequently treated in a bath of kerosene or other hydrocarbon until saturated. I then'ignite the wick, preferably out of doors where the .smoke will not bother, which will. cause the complete carbonization of the combustible layers3 thereby creating a wick of open construction and one'wherein the oil will permeate more freely. By providing a wick of this nature, it is obvious that the residue of the oil (generally a tarry substance) will not collect so freely about and between the layers of asbestos.'- However, when such residue or tarry substance does accumulate, the wick may be again burned out in the nature aforesaid and the life of the same practically renewed.
It will be understood that the above description and accompanying drawings comprehend only the general and preferred embodiment of my invention and that various minor changes in details of construction, proportion and arrangement .of parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention.
I claim 1. A wick comprising a plurailty of sheets of non-combustible material separated by a sheet of carbonized combustible material.
2. A wick comprising a plurality of sheets of asbestos having sheets of carbonized combustible material interposed therebetween thereby providing an open and porous structure.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
THOMAS W. GLINES.
