KINDLER Filed April 15, 1935 ATTDRNEYE Patented Oct. 22, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE KINDLER Henry C. Beitz, Peoria, Ill.
Application April 15, 1935, Serial No. 16,413
3 Claims. (01. 158-10) This invention is directed to kindling devices and has for its objectthe provision of a metal receptacle adapted to contain absorbent material to be ignited, the same having a removable cover 5 and means for positioning and holding it adjacent combustible materials for the purpose of kindling fires in furnaces, fire places and the like.
Other objects will appear inthe following description and accompanying drawing in which:
10 Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of my device showing dotted outline of the cover thereof in open position.
Fig. 2 is a fragmented plan view showing details to be described;
15 Fig. 3 is an end elevational view as the device would be seen from the left in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is an end elevational view as the device would be seen from the right in Fig. 1 with certain parts in folded position as will be described.
20 My kindler comprises an elongated rectangular receptacle 10, having outwardly directed flanges ll disposed along the upper edges of its sides and end portions l2 and I3 which are fashioned to have upwardly extending portions adapted to 25 fit the interior of a cover member 14, as best shown in Fig. 3. The cover and receptacle-ends may obviously be made to have any desired form.
The longitudinal edges of cover M are fashioned to extend over and around the flanges ll 30 as at H, Fig. 4, so that the cover is slidably confined on the receptacle.
l5 designates a hanger member, which is provided with a loop H5 at its upper part and with hook portions H at its opposite ends. The hooks 35 I! are fashioned to extend over and around the edges of cover l4 so as to be slidable thereon. The hanger member [5 may have an attached hook such as H! for a purpose to be described.
At the left hand end, Fig. 1, receptacle I is 40 provided with a member l9 having end portions l9 and I9" fashioned in any desired manner as will be noted.
The receptacle is also provided with pivotally attached leg structures 20 and 2| which are adapted to act as a supporting means for the device as in Figs. 1 and 3 or to be folded away as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.
In practical use the receptacle i0 is filled with wicking 22 or other absorbent material which is saturated with combustible liquid.
With the cover [4 in closed position and legs 20-2! in folded-in position the saturated material is obviously covered so as to prevent evaporation 55 of the combustible liquid or leakage or contact thereof with adjacent objects, and the device has .a compact form.
For use the cover It may be slid back a distance suitable to expose a small or large portion of the wicking so as to provide, when ignited, a large or small fire as desired.
As above noted, the device is intended for use in kindling fires in furnaces, fire-places and the like.
For the purpose of holding the structure in po- 10 sition to expose the kindling fire to the combustible materials of the furnace or in other location, I provide the several supporting devices described, including hooks i9 and I9", adjustable hanger-hook |5-i8 and legs 202l.
The latter mentioned devices may have such forms as are found desirable under conditions of practical use.
As an example, when the kindler is to be used in a conventional house heating furnace, the hook I9 may be attached to the grate, and the hook l8 may be slid toward the right, Fig. 1, to a convenient point to allow attachment of the hook to another portion of the grate to thus support the kindler adjacent the under side of the grate. With the cover 14 open, the kindler may be ignited and allowed to remain as long as is necessary for the fire to be communicated to the combustible material upon the grate.
Under certain conditions it may be found desirable to unfold the legs 2ll-2I and support the device under the grate in the obvious manner.
For use in fire-places, camp-fires, etc., it may be found desirable to use the device in folded position.
After a fire has been successfully started the cover I4 may be slid to closed position, whereby the flame of the kindler is smothered and the combustible liquid therein will be preserved for future use.
When the device is not in use it may conveniently be hung upon the wall as by means of hooks l8, [9 or [8 or put away in any desired place.
An embodiment of my invention has been described herein. Modifications of structure are obviously possible without alteration of the principle involved. I do not wish to be limited in structure or principle except within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A kindling device comprising, an elongated receptacle for combustible materials having outwardly directed flanges, a cover having its longitudinal edges bent about the flanges to constitute r a sliding connection, a. hanger member having its ends bent about the edges of the cover and slidable on the latter.
2. A kindling device comprising, an elongated receptacle for combustible materials having outwardly directed flanges, a cover having its longitudinal edges bent about the flanges to constitute '1 a sliding connection, a hanger member havingits ends bent about the edges of the cover and slidable on the latter-,and a hook member secured to one end of the receptacle for cooperation with the hanger to suspend the receptacle adjacent the under side of a grate.
3. A kindling device comprising, anelongated receptacle for combustible materials having out- V wardly directed flanges, a cover having its longitudinal edges bent about the flanges to constitute a sliding connection, a hanger member having its ends bent about the edges of the cover and slidable on the latter, and a hook member secured to one end of the receptacle for cooperation with V
