IMPROVEMENT IN KEROSENE-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,644, dated November 11, 1879; application flled March 6, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN S. WrLLrAins, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Kerosene-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is designed not only for ordinary heating and household purposes, but also for warming railway-cars, and for other uses to which kerosene-stoves have not hitherto been practically applied.

The invention comprises certain novel combinations of parts for keeping the wick-tubes 0001 without the use of water, for removing the heat from said tubes, for insuring a full and reliable draft to support combustion and a large volume of heated air for warmin g purposes, and for heating sad-irons when required.

Figure 1 is a,,,vertica-l sectional View of a stove made according to my said invention. Fig. 2 is a side view and partial section of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan View of that portion thereof designed for heating sad-irons. Figs. 4 and 5 are plan views of certain portions of the apparatus.

A is the oil-reservoir, having the wick-tubes a and the usual ratchet-wheels, b for vertically adjusting the wicks. Around and over the reservoir A is a jacket, B, of sheet metal, the top 0 of which is at some distance-say one- .half inch, more or less-from the top of the reservoir. In the circumferential portion of this jacket are openings 01 01. Around each wick-tube is a tapering deflector, e.

The top 0 of the jacket B is made of sheetzinc, as distinguished from iron, the former readily yielding any heat it may accumulate, whereas the latter Would remain hot under the same circumstances. Above each wicktube is a chimney, (3. These chimneys are surrounded by a cylinder, D, and a top plate, F, through which latter open the upper ends of the chimneys. This top plate is perforated with numerous holes, as shown at e in Fig. 4.

Upon the top of the cylinder D is provided a flaring rim or flange, f, on which is placed the sad-iron heater E. This consists of two parallel plates, B O, placed one above the other, and connected at a suitable distance apart by a stem or brace, m, as shown in Fig. 1.

Formed radially in the lower plate, 0, are a number of openingS, g, of a shape corresponding to that of an ordinary sad-iron, but of somewhat smaller size. these openings 9, but formed in the upper plate, B, are a corresponding number of radial openings, h, open at their outer ends, and of only about suflicient width to permit the handle of a sad'iron to slip into them.

The device thus constituted is placed upon the flaring top of the cylinder D, as represented in Figs. 1 and 2, in such position that the heated air and hot gaseous products of combustion issuing from the chimneys will pass to or toward theopenings g.

In the use and operation of the stove the wicks-or, in other words, the burners-are lighted, and forthwith the air for combustion passes up within the jacket B under the sheetzinc top 0, and thence through the deflectors c to the flame. The heated products of combustion pass up through the chimneys O and out therefrom underneath the sad-iron heater, and come in direct contact with the under surfaces of the sad-irons placed over the openings g, (resting upon the edges of said openings,) with their handles in the openings h, the said irons being by this means rapidly heated.

The heat from the wick-tubes transmitted by conduction to the zinc top 0 is taken up and removed by the air passing continually in contact therewith, (thus keeping the wick tubes cool and preventing the transmission of heat to the contents of the oil'reservoir A,) and by heating said air assists the combustion. When a portion of said air is supplied direct to the flame through and by means of the deflectors 0, another portion of the air, passing up through the perforations a, passes through the space within the cylinder D and in contact with the outer surfaces of the chimneys, and, becoming warmed thereby, issues through the openings 0, and is thence distributed to warm the room or apartment, whether of a dwelling, railwaycar, or other locality.

It is, of oourse,to be understood that the sad- (Joincident with iron heater may be removed when desired,and i tending downward nearly to the top of the that this device is not required in the employreservoir, in combination with the chimneys ment of the stove in warming railway-stoves, (J, the cylinder 1), having the perforated top F &c. Any air passed into the jacket B that and cone-plate G, jacket B, havingopenings cannot readily pass therefrom in one or the d d, and the oil-reservoir, all substantially as other of the ways just explained passes out I and for the purpose set forth. through the openings (1. v v

What I claim as my invention, and desire JOHN WILLIAMS to secure by Letters Patent, is The sheet-zinc top 0, having: deflectors 0, said deflectors surrounding the wick-tubes and ex- I Witnesses:
