IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE KINDLERS.
Specification forming part of 'Letters Patent No. 138.852, dated May 13, 1873; application filed October 23, 18772- I To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I ALVAH BUSHNELL, of Iona Island, in the county of Rockland and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fire-Kindler; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingformin g part of this specification, in which drawing Figure 1 represents a transverse section of my fire-kindler in its simplest form. Fig. 2 is a plan or top View of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar section of the same when combined with a bridge or cap.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
This invention consists in a fire-kindler, composed of a block of wood or other cheap and combustible material, provided with one or more sockets, one or more of which contain a quantity of tallow, paraffine-oil, or other combustible material or materials, combined with one or more wicks in such a manner that when the wick or wicks of the fire-kindler are united, the burning material contained in the same rapidly permeates the block of wood and a powerful blaze is produced, capable of igniting comparatively thick sticks of wood.
With this fire-kindler is combined a perforated bridge or cap to prevent coal from dropping down upon the wick or wicks, and from extinguishing the flame of the fire'kindler before it has time to produce the desired effect.
In the drawing, the letter A designates a block of wood, by preference, pine wood, which is provided with a socket, to, to receive a quantity of tallow, paraffine, stearine, or other burning material. Before this material is introduced I place one or more wicks, 1), into the socket a, and, when the burning material is poured in hot and then allowed to cool, the wick or wicks are firmly retained in position.
The block A may, however, be made of any other kind of wood, such, for instance, as the waste of cork, and each block may be provided with one or more sockets but in its simplest form my fire -kindler consists of a cubical block with a single socket, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
If my fire-kindler is made with two or more sockets, I provide the same with a bridge, B, (see Fig. 2,) which is perforated with holes 0, corresponding to the sockets to, and with lateral draft-openings d. The object of this bridge is to prevent coals or small pieces of wood from dropping down on the sockets a, and from extinguishing the flames of the wicks b.
In using my fire-kindler, I ignite the wick or wicks b, and as the burning material in the socket or sockets a melts, it permeates the wood, and in a very short time the whole block is ignited, producing a powerful blaze, which is capable of igniting comparatively thick sticks of wood or even coke or charcoal.
My fire-kindlers can be made cheap; they are clean and free from all danger, and they enable persons having charge of stoves or cooking ranges to light a fire with little trouble.
material, provided with one or more sockets,
one or more of which contain a quantity of tallow, paraffinc-oil, or other combustible material or materials, combined with one or more.
wicks, substantially as set forth.
