IMPROVEMENT IN SQLDERING-IRONS.

Specicatiou forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,905, dated May 2l, 1872; antedated April 30, 1872.

Specification describing certain Improvements in Soldering-Iron, invented by HERR- MAN S. SARONI, of Cincinnati, in of Hamilton andState of Ohio.

The invention consists in certain improvements upon solderingirons, as hereinafter fully described and subsequently pointed out in the claim.

Figure l of the drawing exhibits a-longitudinal section'of the soldering-iron and han d le with my improvement applied thereto.

2 is my carbonic=acidgas generator shown in section.

A A represents the compound handle and reservoir, having the stop-cock B andlill-screw C. F is a tube having apertures Gr Gr, and passing through the handle A A at the lower, but iush With the upper end. E is a rod, which passes through the packing in the top of the said tube, and is tapered at the end to form a conical valve, e. H is a tubular vaporizer, provided With avalve-rest, h, and fitted around the tube F. L is the socket of a soldering iron, provided with aperture m at the rear and openings u near the front end. It thus becomes a compound socket-and-combustion chamber. Into this socketis inserted theprojection K of the vaporizer. P is `a: solderingiron, which is detachably fastened by a setscrew, O. A is a chamber provided with tube r having cock e', and a neck, a', having cock c, as shown in Fig. 2. Attached to and above this neck is chamber B', having tube with cock d.

The mode of operation is as follows: Into chamber A is poured a solution of bicarbonate of soda, and, the cock c being closed, there is also poured into the chamber B a solution of tartaric acid. The intermediate cock c being again opened, these two compound elements form a chemical combination. In the reaction that-follows carbonio-acid gas is 'one of the products. After the handle-reservoir A is partially filled with hydrocarbon,the ll-screw C replaced, and the valve e forced into its seat h, the stop-cock B is opened, carbonicacid gas is forced into the reservoir A A until a con- Siderable elastic pressure is superinduced upon the county the fluid itself. The cock B is then shut. The effect ofthis is to express the Huid through holes G G into the tube F and against valve e. This valve being removed to a greater or less degree from its seat, the fluid at once rushes into the vaporizer H, which has been previously heated 'to a proper extent The minute stream'of hydrocarbon is at once transmuted into vapor and passes into the combustion-socket L. Here it receives a supply of oxygen through hole on and becomes inamed. Through the scattered holes n additional air is introduced to increase and complete the combustion and impart the necessary heat to the bit l). The vaporizer requires from an outside source but the imparta-tion of heat 4sufficient to commence the combustion, and

will thereafter automatically receive from the combustion-socket L itself all the heat necessary to perform its function as a gas-generator.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination, with soldering-bit P., of a combustion-socket, L, provided with apertures mm, and connected with a vaporizer, as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination, With a soldering-iron handle, A, serving as a hydrocarbon reservoir, of an apertured tube, F, passing therethrough, and the tubular vaporizer H, arranged to operate together, as specitied.

3. The combination, With a soldering-iron socket L m n, vaporizer H, and tube F, ot' a hydrocarbon reservoir in the handle A provided with a gas-induction cock B, whereby the necessary degree of elastic force to expel the tluid in the reservoir can be introduced thereinto and stored np before the soldering-iron is applied to use.

et. The carbouic-acid generator A B c l e, combined with a hydrocarbon reservoir, to furnish the elastic carbonic-acid gas at the time, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
