MARTIN W. WALKER AND GEORGE E. WILLIAMS, OF SING SING, NEW YORK.
OIL-STOVE WlCK-TRIMMER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 233,822, dated October 26, 1880.
Application filed July 29, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, MARTIN W. WALKER and GEORGE E. WILLIAMS, of Sing Sing, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Oil- Stove Wick-Trimmer, of which the following is a specification.
In ordinary oil-burning stoves it is necessary to remove the top of the stove and the utensils on it in order to trim ofi the crust that forms on the wicks and interferes with the proper action thereof.
The object of this invention is to avoid the inconvenience attendant upon this process of removing the crusts on the wicks.
The invention consists of a metallic rod having at one end two arms that are bent in opposite directions at right angles to the rod, and then straight upward, and then with horizontal oppositely-extending tips, said rod being introduced horizontally through the stovefront, and having its tips resting on supports that are attached to the wick-tubes and on the same level with the tops thereof, so that said rod may be pushed back and forth, and its ends be thereby made to scrape and trim the crust from off the wicks.
Figure 1 is a plan of a portion of an oilburning stove, showing the wick-tubes, perforated diaphragm, and the wick-trimmer in position. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the same on line 00 :10, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation, partly in section, of the wick-trimmer.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
In the drawings, A A represent the wicktubes B, thehorizontal perforated diaphragm, provided with raised edge a and set about the tubes A A resting on supports 0 G, that rise from the base -plate D, in the parallel slots of which the said wick-tubes A A are secured.
E represents a vertical flange of perforated metal, depending from the under face of the base-plate D, and inclosing the space about the bottoms of the wick-tubes A A, to admit the entrance of air thereto. F F represent the usual wick-adj usters.
The wick-trimmer G herein shown consists of a stout wire or rod doubled in the middle to form a loop, I), that serves as a handle, and having its two parts wired or fastened together, as shown at c, and having its ends bent horizontally apart at right angles, as shown at d, then upward, as shown at f, and then again horizontally from each other in opposite directions, as shown at g. Said trimmer G is introduced through the front of the raised edge a of the diaphragm B, and extends rearward between the wick-tubes A A, and has its respective tips 9 g resting on the edges of the plates H H, that are soldered or otherwise secured to the sides of the wicktubes A A,and extend rearward of the same, in order to support the extended tips 9 g in operating position immediately in rear of the wick-tubes A A, and on the same or a slightly higher level therewith, so that when desired the said trimmer G may be pulled and pushed forward and back by its handle, whereby the tips 9 y will be drawn over the edges of the wicks and remove the crusts that have been formed on said wicks by the burning of the oil.
It will be seen that this wick-trimmer G is placed in a most convenient position for removing the crusts from the wicks of oil-burnin g-stove burners, and that it can be operated from the front of the stove without removing any part thereof as readily as the wick-adjusters can be operated, whereby great advantage is obtained over any of the wick-trimming devices in common use on oil-burning stoves.
We do not confine ourselves to the precise construction of this wick-trimmer, as herein shown, as it is evident'that a single rod with laterally-extended arms may be used as an equivalent for the trimmer herein described nor do we confine ourselves in the application of this trimmer to oil-burning, stoves, as it is obvious that it may be advantageously applied to other lamps and burners, and to lamps and burners having more or less than a trimmer having the bends d f g, a diatvvo wicks. phragm, B, having raised edge a, and the Having thus described our invention, what plates H, all arranged substantially as shown we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letand described. 5 ters Patent, is-
1. In an oil-burner, the combination, with the wick-tubes A A and supporting-plates H H, of the wick-trimmer G, substantially as Witnesses: herein shown and described. DANIEL J oHNsoN, 1o 2. The combination, with wick-tubes A, of WILLIAM HORTON.
