"ie it knownv that 1, CHARLES A. STOCK srnon, ol'ihe city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain. new and useful Improvement in Gasoline-Stove At t'aehnients, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this SpOClfiCtlidOll, and in which- Figure 1 is a top view of a gasoline-stove with my improvement applied and all the valves of the burners closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing two of the valves open. Fig. 3 is a front view of Fig. 2. Fig. .4- is a vertical transverse section taken on line 4 4, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail perspectit'e view. Fig. (3 is an enlarged detail top View illustrating a modification. Fig. 7 is a vertical section taken on line 7 7. Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a similar View taken online 8 S, Fig. (i; and Fig. 9 is a similar view taken on line 9 9, Fig. 6. Fig. 10 is an elevation, partly in section, of a form of burner to which my improvements may be applied.

My invention relates to an attachment to he used on a gasoline-stove having a generator and one or more lnirners supplied from the generator; and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter t'ully described and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the top plate of a gasoline-stove; B, a generator, and O one or more burners supplied from the generator in the usual manner-as, for instance, the burner shown in Fig. 10. Here the supply of oil from the reservoir is conveyed through the supply-pipe 1 to the circular passage 2, extending around the edge of thelnirner C, from whence it is conveyed by a passage, 4., to the generator-valve B, which being opened the oil flowing out is ignited at the burner. the oil takes place in the generator, the side burners, also communicating with the passage 2 by means of passages 6 (3, are now ready to receive their supply of gas which is allowed to flow thereto by the opening of the valves (JU. I have shown in my present application two burners C; but one or more than two may be used. The valve C of each burner is As soon as the vaporization ot' Serial No. 1829175. (Xe model.)

I provided with an operaiinglever, D, to which it is connected by a rod, .l), as in said application, and the valve lltot' the generator is provided with an operating-lever, 10.

F represents a slide-platesecured to the top A of the stove b v guide-brackets (i, which permit it to be moved longitiulinally.

ll: represents a rod or barseenred to the top of the stove. This rod passes through arms or projections .l and l, which are secured to the slide-plate F, the rod acting as a guide to the arms and as asupport to hold them tirm and rigid. The arms .T are close together, as shown in Fig. 2, and between tits the lever 1) ot' the generator. They could he made in one piece slotted to receive the lover. The arms I are located on one side of the hrn'ner-levers D, as shown in Fig. It will thus be seen that the movement ot' the lever 15 in the direction shown by the arrow, Fig. 2, to open the valve will move the slide-plate F in the direction indicated by the arrow, this having no eil'ect upon the burner-valves, either one or both of which is free to be opened, if desired. Now, supposing one or both of them to he opened before the generator-valve is closed, it will be understood that it or they can be closed again without operating or al'- feeting the generator-valve; but any attempt to close the generator-valve will close the burner-valves, owing to the arms 11 being forced against the lovers 1.), so that it is thus impossible to close the generator-valve without at the same time closing the burner valve or valves. As in devices heretofore constructed, the burners getting their supply from the genorator, it will be appareutthatil' the generatorvalve is shut off, and consequently does not produce any more gas while one or moi-churners are still burning, gasoline instead of gas will flow from the burner-valves as soon as the generator has cooled down sufiiciently, and cause damage. Another advantage ofthepresent arrangement is thatin case of the generator and one or more burners being lighted but not being at full flame neither of the burner-valves can be opened any farther than the generator valve without at the same time opening the latter to the same extent, thereby insuring an increased production ot' gas at the generator to be used by the increased burner flame. I have shown notches V at the ends of the slots X, in which the levers controlling the valves travel; (but this isnot any essential part of my present invention.) As long as the generatorlever is locked by being pressed into this notch, either of the burnenvalves can be opened.

In the modification shown in Figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9 the valvestems that-open the supply to the burner or burners O are connected to the stem of the valve that controls the supply to the generators by pulleys or Wheels L and M and cords or chains N. By this arrangement when the valve of the generator is turned in the direction indicated by the arrows, Fig. 9, to open it,.it simply loosens the cords or chains N, as will be readily understood, and does not operate the burner-valves of the generator, but leaves them free to be opened, if desired; but should they be opened, the closing of the generator-valve will close them. On this modification I have shown a dog or pawl pivoted to the top A of the stove by a short shaft, P, and engaging at its lower end with ratchet-teeth S on a disk, 'T, secured to the generator-valve stem. The object of this is to prevent any of the valve-stems being opened accidentally or by children, it being impossible to open it or them without first raising the pawl, which may be done by means of a hand-wheel Uon the shaft P. This pawl answers the same purpose as the notches V in my preferred form.

I- claim as my inw ention- 1. The combination of a gasoline-stove frame, a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into which the gas enters from said jetoriiice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas to the side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves, and a device connected to the generatonburner valve-lever and extending to the side-burner valve-lever and engaging the same upon one side, whereby the gas-valve will be closed when the gasoline-valve is closed and the gasoline-valve opened without opening the gas-valve.

2. The combination ofa gasoline-stoveframe,

a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into which the gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas to the side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves, a slide-plate having guides, and arms or projections on the slide-plate with which the valve-leversengage.

3. The combination of a gasoline-stove frame, a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into which the gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to the generatonbmner, a valve controlling the flow of gas to the side burner, levers or their equivalents, connected with said valves, the sliding plate having arms or projections engaged by the valve-levers, and a guide-rod passing through the arms or projections, substantially as and for the purpose set fort 4. Thecombination of a gasoline-stove frame, a generator having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a'pipe into which the gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to the generator-burner, a valve controlling the flow of gas to the side burner, levers or their equivalents connected with said valves, the sliding plate having armsor projections engaged by the valve-levers, guide brackets, and a guide-rod passing through the arms, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. The combination of a gasoline-stove frame, a generatorv having a jet-orifice, a side burner having a pipe into which the gas enters from said jet-orifice, a valve controlling the supply of gasoline to the generator-burner, valves controlling the fiow of gas to thes-ide burner, levers or their equivalents connected with all ofsaid valves, a sliding plate having guides, lugs J J on each side of the generator-valve lever, and lugs I, engaging the side-burner valve-levers, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
