JAMES M. VVISHART, OF MARION, KANSAS.

SAD-lRON-HEATING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,960, dated March 19, 1889.

Application filed March 3, 1888. Serial No. 266,062. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. WISHART, of Marion, county of Marion, and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasoline-Burners for Heating Sad-Irons, &c., of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section, partly in elevation, of my complete heating apparatus applied to a sad-iron, the section being on line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a bottom view, the smoothing-iron being removed. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top view of the oil-tank, oil-pipe, and burner detached. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view, on a large scale, of a part of the heating apparatus, taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 5.

The object of my invention is to produce a simple and efficient sad-iron heater for burning gas generated from gasoline or similar inflammable material to produce a high heat. It is desirable to have each of the parts adapted to be disconnected from the others, so that when any one becomes injured or out of repair it can be removed and replaced by a duplicate conveniently and at the minimum cost to the owner. Accordingly I provide for uniting each of the parts of the apparatus to the others detachably, so that any injured or defective part can be replaced by a perfect one at will.

My invention consists in the improved 0rganization of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the letters upon the drawings, A indicates a gasoline-tank.

Bindicates a small pipe, bent or coiled sub stantially as shown, leading in one jointless piece from the gasoline-tank to the gas-receiver C, which is a metallic part provided with a reservoir, D, to receive the gas, and from which it passes through a small opening, E, through an open recess, F, into the burner G, which is a hollow tube containing numerous perforations, substantially as shown.

The escape of the gas from the receiver is regulated by a pointed screw-pin, H, which maybe adjusted to permit the escape of more or less gas, as desired, into the open end of the burner which is in line with the screwpin. The gas and air commingle in the re cess F before entering the burner, and the result is a product highly inflammable, which creates intense heat that can be utilized advantageously for heating sad-irons and for many other purposes.

It will be observed that the pipe B is secured to the tank by means of a screw-connection at L, and is also secured to the gasreceiver by means of a screw-connection at I, sothat it can be unscrewed and removed. I show no packing in these connections; but any usual packings may or may not be used at pleasure for the ordinary purposes of gasfitting. It will also be observed that the screw-pin II and the burner G are secured to the gas-receiver by screw-connections, so that they can each be unscrewed and removed at pleasure. I

K indicates the smoothing-iron; M, its handle; N, a supporting-piece for the oil-tank; O, a pin, and P a screw-pin, both taking into notches in the smoothing-iron to fasten it onto the main sad-iron frame Q; but all the parts of a sad-iron are merely shown to illustrate an application of my invention, and do not form a part of it, and may be modified at will.

R indicates a filtering or straining material, that may be employed or not, as is usual.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim to be new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the United States, is

The combination, with a hollow sad-iron, of an oiltank, A, a jointless pipe, B, coiled over a perforated hollow burner and leading from the oil-tank to the gas-receiver, the receiver C, provided with a gas-reservoir, D,-and an open recess, F, the adjustable screw-pin H in the receiver to admit to open recess F, and the hollow perforated burner G, connected with the receiver at one end in line with the screw-pin and supported by the frame Q at the other, all these parts being joined by screw-connections, so as to be readily attachable and detachable, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.

JAMES M. \VISHART.
