WICK
Filed March l2, 1932 Y Watentcd Mar. i4, 1933 muren STATES '.lhis invention relates to kindling wicks tor the burners of that type of stoves or heaters which use gaseous or liquid hydrocarhons as fuel.
ln burners of this type, it is customary to provide one or more wicks, usually circular, ot asbestos, or other non-combustible material. When the burner is to he lighted, llame is applied to the wick or wicksand then burn w until vthe necessary initial amount of heat is imparted'to the burner.
@ne pronounced disadvantage of wicks so used is that their lower edges, which, in customary burner construction, rest in oil receiving grooves or troughs, tend to become charred or carbonized as a result of the intense heat to which they are subjected when the oil is exhausted and the dead wick rests upon the heated metal o the trough base. A Wick, so charred and carbonized, loses most oi its capillarity and must be replaced.
The primary object of this invention is to 'so construct a wiel: that its absorbent material will never he in direct contact with the metal ot the oil trough, thereby preventing carbonization o the Wick and assuring a free tion? of the oil,
Another object is to so construct a Wick material or the character speciiied that it may he manufactured and sold in exible strips oi non-combustible material of great length, which can be rolled on spools or reels for storage or transportation, pieces of any required length heing unwound and cut on to :torni wicks oi any desired shape and size.
A nrther object is to provide the lower edge oi a wich with a ,series of separated and independent metallic legs or projections, hold it up out or? contact with the base the oil trougha er still further ohject is the provision of a pl of independent readily attachable metal clips to he secured to and projecting trein the hase ont the wick to serve es snplegs. 4
@their objects will eppeer in and he evident from the following detailed description ci? invention.
he invention consists ofi structural charact-cristina and relative arrangement osi' elements which will be hereinafter more fully descri and particularly pointed' out in the ap nded claims,I
In t e drawing, in which similar reference characters indicate the same parts in the sev- 55 eral figures: n
Figure 1 is a pers ective view, in central vertical section, of t e kindler of a burner, illustrating two oil troughs with wicks there- "Fi re 2 is a face view of a strip of wick forming materlal constructed in accordance with this invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which a portion of material is 05 coiled to form a Wick;
Figure d is a perspective view illustrating the znanner in which a metallic le forming clip 1s applied to the lower edge o the strip of absorbent material .neg the body of 7a the Wick;
Figure 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view, in dat projection, through a portion of the center of an oil trough with Wick therein, illustrating the manner in which the 75 legs support the absorbent ninteriai of the Wick tree 'from contact with the haseof the groove,
Referring, in the rst instance, to Figure 1 of the drawing, there is shown an oil hurner kindler structure comprising inner and outer annular troughs .1.3L and l2 hy bridges 13., Locate-d within each trough, and of such circumference as to he free from Contact with the trough wells, is a Wick M of @5 asbestos, or other non-combustible material, preferably strengthened and reinxorced with longitudinally extending interwoven Wires l5. When the oil in a trough is exhausted and the Wick arnehas burned out, the sides of the wich, being xfree troni contact with the Walls oi the trough, suffer Sirone no tendency to char or carhonize,
The 1eniclrs are preferably termed from e long strip of material, auch as is shown in 95 Figure 2. 'Ehe lower edge or? this strip is provided, at s aced intervals, with, independent metaihc legs 16, the lower ends of which are adapted to rest upon -thehase of the trou and hold the wich tree from conm@ cated at the en above the base of the trough tact therewith, so that the lower edge of the same will likewise suffer from no tendency to char or carbonize, as best shown in Figure 5.
l Each of these spaced, separate and independent su porti le 16 is referably in theform ogs clipags shswn in liigure 4. posits leg members 17, united .at their bases,
are provided with -oifset teeth 18, which, 1 when the leg members are positioned embracing the wer edge of the strip of absorbent material and pressed together, pierce such material and serve to fasten the support 16 in pro er position upon the strip, as indiigures 3 and 5.
In Figure 3 is shown the manner in which a wick is formed. After the circumference, length or shape of the'burner is determined a suicient quantity or length of material 90 is cut off from the long strip, shown in Figure 2, and coiled around into annular form with its ends abutting, or so shaped to conorm to tlfle corlitour of thefburner. In the rawin orte ur seo tercari are showlit viticallygplaced, btlit the manner in which they abut, and secured together, if so desired, to form the final wick is readily understandable.
In operation, not only are the wicks free 30 from any tendency to char or carbonize on eicently effected. l
of come, it is te be understood that the showing in the drawing is purely illustrative and in no sense constitutes a limitation u n the scope of the invention. An one ed in the art can readily see that e absorbent u' portion of the wick can be of a different natureandthechanges thatcanbemadeinthe metallic or supporting leg are many and varied. changes, alterations and modiiicatons which may be made in the parte What I claim is: l
LA wick for a hydrocarboel textil 1n com rising an on bodyldf absorbent nog-combustible materal provided with a plurality of separated and in ependently attached metallic supsrtu inglegaprojecting from oneofita long 2.- A wick for a hydrocarbon burner, said wick comprising a rectangular thin bod of absorbent non-combustible material and ava plurality of separated metallic members in ependentl secured thereto adjacent the lower edge o the same and extending there- Opbelow.
3. A vwick for a hydrocarbon burner, said wick comprising a rectangular thin iiexible body of a and a plurality of separated and independent metalhc clips secured thereto and extending beyond and free of an edge of said rectangu lar body.
4. A wick for a hydrocarbon burner, said wick comprising a rectangular thin bodyof absorbent non-combustib e material and a plurality of separated and independent metallic chps removably embracing and adjustably secured to the lower edge of the same and extending beyond and free of said edge.
5. As an article 'of manufacture, a wick rbent non-combustible material material consistin of a flexible strip of thin rectangular shape non-combustible material having a series of separated and independent supportig means secured to and projecting from an ge and in the plane of said strip.
6. As an article of manufacture, a wick material consisting of a flexible strip of thin rectangular shaped non-combustible material having a series of separated and independent metallic clips embracingj and secure to the lower edge of said strip and extending beyond and free of said edge.
7. A wick for a hydrocarbon burner, said wick comprising an elongated rectangular thin body consistin of iiexible absorbent asbestos fabric provided with a plurality of separated and independent support' legs attached to and tprojecting from and low on'e of the long e ges of sald fabric.
8. An article of manufacture, a wick material consisting of a flexible stri of thin rectangular-sha non-combusti le material having a series of separated supporting legs secured to and projecting from an edge and in the plane of saidstrip.
