Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 18, 1917.
Application filed January 9, 1917. Serial No. 141A05.
To all whom it may concern: 1
Be it known that I, FRANK W. REYNOLDS, citizen of the United States, residing at New Washington, in the county of Crawford and State of Ohio, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Combined Simmer-Burners and Lighters for Gas-Stoves, of which the following 1s a specification.
This invention is a combined simmer burner and lighter for gas stoves, and has for its object to provide an improved device which can be used on a gas cooking stove for the purpose of lighting one or more of the burners and also as a simmer for keeping 'essels warm. The device includes a small lmrner carried by a swinging arm which can be turned to position to light any of the main burners, or swung to any position where it may be desired to heat an article on the stove. The burner is swung by means of a handle, hollow red and gear, and a valve extends through the hollow rod for the purpose of controlling the supply of gas to the burner.
The particular construction of thedevice will be evident from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device applied to a stove.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section showing the valve.
Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates a stove top and 7 the main burners thereof, four being shown. This top may be of the closed type, with which the present device is particularly useful, since it includes an indicator on the handle to show the position of the lighting device. The main gas supply pipe of the stove is indicated at 8, having suitable connections to the burners as usual. A branch pipe 9 leads from the supply pipe into a valve casing 10, con veniently located at a central point with respect to the main burners, and this easing has a port 11 controlled by a needle valve 12 at the end of a rod 13 which terminates at its front end in a thumb piece 14 by means of which it may be turned to open or close the valve. From the valve opening gas is supplied to the hollow pivot stem 15 of a rotary head 16 the interior of which communicates with a burner mixing tube 17 carried thereby, and provided with a torch or burner 18 at the end, and an air hole 19 for supplying air to the gas to give a blue flame at the burner 18.
This burner 18 is so located as to swing over each of the main burners, and it is operated by means of a knob or handle 20 at the front end of a tube 21 which incloses the stem 13. This tube 21 has a bevel gear 22 at its inner end which meshes with the teeth of a gear 23 formed on the exterior of the rotary head 16, and the knob 20 is provided with marks 24- so arranged as to indicate the relation of the lighter burner 18 to each of the main burners. That is, the gears are so constructed that when the lighter is over any particular one of the main burners the indicating mark of that burner will be exposed at the upper side of the knob, and as the knob is turned the position of the lighter will be indicated by the marks on the knob. As stated, this is very useful in closed top stoves.
The device may be supported under the stove top in any convenient manner, as by a hanger 30 having an opening through which the tube 21 passes.
In the use of the device, the lighter may be swung around by turning the handle 20, as above explained, to light one or more of the main burners. The size of the flame of the lighter burner may be controlled by means of the valve 12, operated by the finger piece 1a which is conveniently located at the center of the knob 20. For use in warming cooking vessels, or otherwise when little heat is desired, the burner 18 may be swung to any position, either above or between the main burners, according to the desired location of the vessel. Thus the simmer burner can be used over either of the back burners or between them, to keep a utensil warm, allowing the front burners to be used for cooking as usual. The location of the valve in combination with the gears provides a very compact and convenient arrangement, both for manipulation of the simmer burner and for control of the gas supply thereto.
What I claim as new is:
1. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a valve casing, a swinging burner communicating therewith, a rotary tubular handle member operatively connected at the inner end with the burner to swing the same, and a valve rod extending through said tubular member and into the casing.
2. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a gas valve casing, a rotary head mounted to turn on said casing and having a projecting burner, a tubular handle member geared to said head, to turn the same, and a valve in the casing provided with an operating rod extending through the handle member.
3. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a gas valve casing v a rotary head mounted to turn thereon and having an external gear-,a burner projecting from said head and communicating With the casing, a
hollow rotary handle member having a gear meshing with said gear, and a valve in the casing having an operating rod extending lengthwise through said handle member.
In testimony whereof, I do affix my signature in presence of t o Witnesses.
