VAPOR-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,635, dated October 25, 1881.

Application filed August 20, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J OSEPHUS M. GALLIsoN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing atGolumbus, in the county ofPlatte and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

Figure l is a perspective of a vapor-stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the burners, steam-pipes, and their connections detached; and Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same with the table in section.

In the drawings, A represents the frame or stand of the stove, provided with a shelf, B, beneath the top plate, 0, these parts being of the usual construction. The top plate is provided with openings placed above the burners, and adapted to receive the grates (J, which are commonly used to support vessels above the burners, and is also provided with apertures through which pass pipes D and E from reservoirs d and e. Each of these pipes is supported in any convenient manner by the top plate, and is shaped so as to lead to and beneath the opening in the top plate, and each terminates thereat, the one D in a burner, F, and the other, E, in circular form G about the burner, suitable couplings and elbows being used in shaping and directing the pipe, as is usualin this class of inventions. The pipe E is provided with the step E.

The burner F consists of a vaporizingchamher, 7, a lighter or starter, f, jet f and a dome or gas-chamber, f provided with two circular series of perforations around its base.

f is the valve-rod of the vaporizing-chamber and jet, and, like the remaining valves shown, is of the usual construction.

The pipe E at the circle G is perforated at or through its inner surface, and is provided with a valve, 9, and it may also be provided with avalve j ust below the reservoir 0, as is reservoir d with valve (1,

This being the construction of the parts with reference to a single burner and its hole in the top plate, it will be readilyseen that itrequires asimple duplication of the parts described and of their arrangement to provide a stove with two or more burners and corresponding openings, the whole being supplied by one reservoir, (l, and one reservoir, 6; and it is also readily seen that the reservoirs d and a may be consolidated into one reservoir having two compartments, it being understood that each compartment should have separate inlets and outlets, as with the separate reservoirs.

I have shown, as the preferable form of construction, separate reservoirs, as it permits the use or non-use of reservoir d or e and its pipes, and these, being connected by the coupling h,

may be removed entirelyfrom the stove or furnace in which they are used.

H is a removable oven, adapted to be placed over the burner, and is provided with an aperture covered with a raised deflecting-plate attached to the bottom of the oven, the purpose of which is obvious from its location and construction, and the fountains and burners can be used'in ordinary stoves and furnaces, as above stated.

The following is the manner of using myinvention, and its operation: The reservoir 61 is supplied with oil, which may be either crude petroleum, gasoline, or any of the carbon oils, and reservoir 6 is supplied with water. The valve d is opened and the burner is lighted at the starter and jet in the usual manner, and the oil is vaporized by the flame from the base of the dome striking the step E and by the starter, and the vapor rises into the gas-chamher in the hollow dome f and thence out through the perforations in the base of the gaschamber, and thence curves upwardly, striking and heating the circle G and vaporizing the water, which is now let into it, and the vaporized water or steam is intermingled with the burning gas and produces a more perfect combustion, and hence much greater heat.

I am aware that the injection of steam into the flames of combustionis an expedient heretofore known, and do not broadly claim such as of my invention; but

What I do claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a burner perforated at its base, and an encircling steam-pipe perforated at its inner surface, substantially as shown and described, whereby the encircling pipeis directly heated by the burner, and steam is injected into the flames of the burner.

2. In a vapor-stove, the combination of a burner provided Wit h a perforated dome-shaped gas chamber and an encircling perforated steam-pipe, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination ofa bnrnerprovided with avaporizing-chamber, a starter andjet, a valve, and a perforated gas-chamber with an encircling perforated steam-pipe, and means for supplying the one with oil and the other with water, substantially as described.

4. In a vapor-stove, the combination, with the burner, of a reinoy'able encircling perfo- JOSEPHUS M. OALLISON.
