OVEN. ATTACHMENT FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Application filed April 15, 1922. Serial No. 553,215.
To all whom it may concern.
Be itknown that I, JAMES E. Z. FowLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Preuss, in the county of Coos and State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oven Attachments for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification. g V
This invention relates to attachments for automobiles, particularly to ovens and has for its objectthe provision of a novel device designed to be associated with the exhaust pipe of an automobile whereby to obtain heat for the. purpose of preparing hot lunches on picnics, tours and the like.
An important and more specific object is the provision of a. casing designed to be engaged upon the exhaust pipe of an. automobile,,this casing beingdesigned to hold con- 'tainers of any suitable character which are filled with coffee, tea, stew or the like whereby the containers may be kept in a. thoroughly warmcondition so that the contents will be ready for instant use, the device being furthermore capable. of use in warming potatoes, frying eggs and carrying out other similar culinary operations such as might be found advisable or advantageous upon a protracted trip.
An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which may be quickly and easily placed in or removed from position, and which will moreover be very simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly efiicient in use, positive in ac tion, durable in service and a general improvement in the art.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an automobile engine having my oven associated therewith,
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional View through the engine exhaust showing the oven in position,
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through my device alone on a larger scale,
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view there through,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the device entirely removed from the exhaust pipe.
scribed may be associated with any engine having an exhaust pipe. In carrying out my invention I make use of an elongated rectangular casing 10 which includes a back wall 11, end walls 12, a front wall 13, a bottom 14; and a top 15. The back, top and ends are formed double with a layer 15 of asbestos inside. Located within the casing.
is a false bottom or. shelf 14 of wire screen The end walls 12 of the casing are formed with notches or cut-out portions 16 for the accommodation of the exhaust pipe when the casing is placed in position and the law-.
er part of the back wall 11 constitutes a clepending apron 17 which will engage between the exhaust pipe and cylinder block for holding the casing in position. Either thetop or the front of the casing may behinged though in the present instance I have shown the front wall as being formed with an opening extending from the top to the false bottom 1 1 and closed by a hinged door 13 held in position by a plurality of hooks 18 carried by the end walls 12 and engaging within loops or eyes 19 carried by the door. If preferred the top of the casing may be formed with holes 20 closed by adjustable slides 21 for permitting the escape of steam. The bottom 14 is of course spaced upwardly from the lower edges of the end and back walls a sufficient distance that it may be disposed above the exhaust pipe when the casing is in position so as not to interfere with the action. For holding the device more firmly I may provide two rods 22 secured to the casing and formed with hooks engaging the radiator stay rod.
Assuming that the device has been constructed as above described, in order to adapt it for use it is merely necessary to place the casing upon the top of the exhaust pipe with the notches or cut out portions 16 accommodating the pipe and with the depending apron 17 engaging between the exhaust pipe and the cylinder block for holding the device in position. Any suitable containers such as glass jars, tin cans or the like may then be placed within the casing for the purpose of having their contents warmed or cooked as the case may be, depending upon the length of time to which the articles are subjected to the heat of the exhaust. It is readily conceivable that various receptacles may be placed within the casing at the beginning of the trip for the purpose of maintaining the contents in a thoroughly heated condition for use at any time upon picnics, outings or touring trips. It is even probable that it may be a simple matter to boil coflee or steep tea in a very rapid and efficient manner while the machine is travelling along. In some instances, as for instance upon a picnic party of considerable size it may be found advantageous to remove the door and subsequently take out whatever containers are disposed within the casing after which the door may be left open and the hot sheeting or tray be used for frying eggs, warming potatoes or other similar culinary operations which might be found useful. It is not necessary to run the engine continuously as the device will retain heat after the engine has stopped and operates in the same manner as a fireless cooker.
From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it will be readily apparent that I have thus provided an extremely simple and consequently highly inexpensive device which will be of distinct advantage for use among motorists of various classes for the purpose of insuring hot meals on trips, picnics, parties and the like, it being a notable feature that while the invention is primarily designed for use upon the Ford automobile it may be easily adapted, by changing certain dimensions and shapes, for use upon automobiles of other makes so that it may have an almost universal use. Owing to the simplicity of the construction and the fewness of the parts it is apparent that there is nothing to get out of order and the device should consequently have a long life and satisfactorily perform all the functions for which it is intended.
Having thus described the invention I claim;
A device of the character described comprising a rectangular casing having its bottom formed with an opening near the back wall of the casing and having its ends formed with notches extending upwardly from the bottom, said opening in the bottom and the notches being designed for accommodation of the exhaust pipe of an engine, the back wall of the casing extending downwardly between the exhaust manifold and the engine whereby to mount the device in place, said casing being of double wall construction and being provided with a foraminous shelf located above the notches, a hinged door normally closing the front of the casing, and brace rods connected with the top of the casing and terminating in hooks engageable over the stay rod of the radiator of the car.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
