HEATING DEVICE Filed April 10. 1931 INVENTOR 4421567; A Jig 727576172 v BY WW ATTORNEY.
Patented Jan. 17, 1933 ALBERT A. EPSTEIN, OF NEW'YORK, N. Y.
HEATING DEVICE Application filed April 10,
This invention relates to a new article of manufacture and more particularly to a heating device and has for its primary object a design of article that may be inexpen- 5 sively produced and uitlizing a paste form of fuel.
An object of the invention resides in the combining of a collapsible tube with a combustible paste of therequired consistency 0 for the production of a new type of heating device.
Another object of the invention resides in the collapsible feature of the tube and the consistency of the combustible paste whereby 5 a desired quantity of the paste may be ejected to automatically form a wick of the desired shape and length.
Another object of the invention resides in the automatic formation of a wick in the O pressing of a tube which will retain its configuration during the entire burning operation.
A feature of my invention resides in the design and construction of a new article of manufacture in which a collapsible tube may perform the triplicate functions, as a container for the combustible paste, as an ejector for the paste and as a handle during the use of the heating device.
WVith these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure l is a perspective View of the device in use.
Figure 2 is a perspective view from another angle.
Figure 3 is a detailed sectional view through a portion of the device.
Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the many forms of my invention the numeral 1 designates a collapsible container illustrated as a collapsible tube 2. This tube is provided with a restricted outlet 3 of a shape to form the desired type of wick in a manner hereinafter described. Arranged within the tube is a special type of combustible paste 4 as it is absolutely necessary that this paste 4 be of the required con- 1931. Serial No. 529,140.
sistency so that when pressed through the outlet 3 the same will form a Wick 5 of the desired shape and length and retain its configuration during the entire burning operation. It is also very important that the paste retain its uniform consistency within the tube and will not separate out and further will not dry or harden. It will be appreciated that if the materials separate, a Wick of the desired shape and length cannot be produced and if the material hardens the wick cannot be formed by the pressure of the required amount of material through the outlet 8. I am'aware of the fact that various types of combustible paste have been produced before for heating and lighting purposes but the specific characteristics of the paste are such as to make the same impractical for use as a substitute for my invention. To complete the invention I provide a cap 6 for sealing the combustible paste when not in use.
From extensive experiments conducted I have found that a paste having the desired characteristics can be accomplished by producing an intimate mixture of an alkaline earth, a combustible material and an inflammable fluid. Specifically stated this can be accomplished by producing an intimate mixture of magnesium stearate and alcohol, the relative proportions of which determining the consistency of the paste and the characteristics of the wick. By mixing approximately one part by weight of magnesium stearate with two parts of alcohol, I can produce the consistency that will meet the desired result, but I wish it to be understood that it is within the scope of my invention to vary the ingredients of the mixture to accomplish any desired consistency for the production of any desired size or configuration of a Wick. It is also within the scope of my invention to change the ingredients or proportions of the ingredients to vary the illuminating effect of the flame or the heating effect of the flame, thereby enabling the article to be used solely as a source of intense heat or solely as a source of light.
Therefore, I do not desire to be limited in protection in any manner whatsoever, except as set forth in the following claims.
What I claim is 1. As a new article of manufacture, a heating device comprising a collapsible container having an outlet and a combustible paste in the container of a consistency to form a wick to be pressed through said outlet.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a heating device comprising a collapsible tube having a restricted outlet and a combustible i paste in the tube adapted upon squeezing of the tube to be forced through said outlet and I thereby produce a Wick of a consistency to project beyond the tube a predetermined distance and retain its formation during the burning operation. 1
V In Witness whereof Ihave hereunto set my hand.
