FOOT-WARM ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters APatent No. 418,743, dated January 7, 1890. Application ned May 13,1889. saai No. 310,503. (No model.)
To aZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, PATRICK E. MCKEE, a citizen of the United States ot' America, residing atl Royalton, in the county of Morrison and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Foot- Warmers, of which the following is a specifi- Ass Vwhich it may be lled.
cation, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.^
My invention relates to improvements in foot-warmers in which oil-lamps are used to produce the desired heat; and the objects of my improvement are to produce a footwarmer of this class capable of being carried with safety in a sleigh or cutter that may be subjected to rough roads, and in which the products of combustion are carried to the outside of the vehicle. VI attain theseobjects by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure is a perspective view of a footwarmer constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of the same. Fig. 4 is a side view of one of the. screen-'secu ring clamps.
In said drawings, A represents the lampholder, within which is placed the lamp, consisting of a iat rectangular oil-reservoir B, surmounted by a double-,Wick Vburner B2, of great length, each wick being regulated by a spindle o, provided with serrated wheels b2, and said spindle carries also small gearwheels b3, that are geared together so that when a spindle is rotated by means' of the button b4 thereon both spindles are equally rotated. The oil-reservoir is provided with a screw-cap b5, that closes an opening through The lamp-holder is provided with a cover C, having vertical `sides and a semi-cylindrical top, and the latter has at one end a flue or pipe'CZ'for the escape of the products of combustion from the interior of the foot-warmer. Said pipe is preferably inclined forward to facilitate its introduction into the lower end of a pipe passing through the dash-board of a cutter or other vehicle. The cover C is hinged at c to the lamp-holder, and has in its sides, close to its bottom, a series of perforations c, to admit air therein to the lamp. It has also in its front end a vertically-sliding door c2, preferably of isinglass, through which the combustion can be *watched5 and the lamp can be lighted through the opening closed by said sliding door.
To prevent the clothes of the occupants or the lap-robe of a sleigh in which the footl warmer, and to keep it evenly at that uniform distance the lower .edge is securedby means of screw-clamps d to metal straps cl2, secured to the bottom of the lamp-holder land extending beyond its sides; and said straps are also perforated to receive screws by which the device may be secured to the iioor of a sleigh or of any other conveyance.
To facilitate the lighting of the lamp the front'of the screen may be hinged to the side thereof, and the door c24 may also be hinged to the front of the lamp-cover C, or the screen may be lifted entirely olf from over said lamp-cover.
I am aware that wiie screens have been used over foot-warmers to keep clothes or lap-robes from coming in contact with the lamp-cover; and I do not broadly claim said devices. 4
Having now fully described my invention, I claiml. In a foot-warmer, the combination of the lamp-holder having lateral straps cl2, a lamp within said holder, a cover hinged thereto and provided with an inclined iue, and a wire screen inclosing the sides, top, and flue of the foot-warmer and secured to its lateral straps, substantiallyl as described.
. 2. The combination of a lamp-holder having a semi-cylindrical top and an inclined flue thereon, a lampwithin said holder, and a wire screen inclosing the lamp-holder, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my sign aturc in presence of tw'o witnesses.
PATRICK E. MCKEE. NVitnesses:
R. L. CLARKE, W. W. LANE.
