WATER-H EATER FOR GASOLINE STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,015, dated June 24,188L.

Application filed June 23, 1883.

1'0 aZZ whom it may concern .3e it known that I, J ULIUS W. SrorrEL, of lllascoutah, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Water Heaters for Gasoline-Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a'perspective view showing the top of agasoline-stove and theheater arranged thereon. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the heater, part broken away. Fig. 8 is a section of the vertical part of the cir- Fig. at is a detail section illustrating a valve that may be and preferably is used on the receiving end 01. the pipe. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the valve located in the downturned end of the pipe instead of in a thinible, as shown in Fig. 4.

the stove-top, as shown, or 011 an independent support. 7

0 represents a pipe secured to and communicating with the lower part of the vessel 13, and from the vessel it extends outward a suitable distance, where it is bent to form a loop, as shown, and then returns to and enters the vessel, where it is turned upward, its' end reaching quite or nearly to the top of the vessel, where it is closed, and provided with an opening, 0, in the side. (See Fig. 3.) The loop of the pipe is intended to surround the burner of the stove, so that the water in the pipe is heated and caused to circulate therethrough, as shown by the arrows, Fig. 2. The pipe is preferably bent downward at 0 ,50 that (No model.)

the loop will be below the upper surface of the stove, (see Fig. 1,) so that the pipe does not in the least interfere with anything being cooked on the stoveat the same time the water is being heated.

D represents a tube with a closed upper end, which fits over the vertical part of the pipe, (see Figs. 2 and 3,) which causes the hot water to pass down to or nearly to the bottom of the vessel, and prevents the hot water being thrown over the edge of the vessel. This tube simply fits over the top of the pipe, and may be removed to gain access to the vertical portion of the pipe and the inside of the tube for cleaning purposes.

The induction end of the pipe is preferably provided with a ball-valve, I, located in a thimble, I, with an opening and seat, I", (see Fig. 4-,) or the end of the pipe may be turned downward and the ball located in it. When water is poured into the vessel,it rolls the valve away from its seat and finds its level in the pipe 0, and when the pouring of the water into the vessel ceases, the ball will roll by gravity and close the opening I so that the water in the pipe cannot return to the vessel except through the opening 0, (as it is expanded by being heated,) and as soon as a discharge takes place'a fresh supply. of water will enter the pipe from the vessel, the excess of pressure of the water in the vessel opening the valve, and as soon as the pressure is equalized the valve will close, as described. Each time the valve opens and closes it makes a noise resembling the tick of a clock, and its function is to prevent the bubbling noise incident to its absence; and there are certain other advantages arising from its use/ I claim as my invention- 1.
