VVINFIELD SCOTT DENTON, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
FIRE-KINDLER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,933, dated August 12, 1890.
Application filed January '7, 1890. Serial No. 336,158. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be itknown that I, ,WINFIELD Scorr DEN- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inFire-Kindlers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The special object of the invention is to produce a good and efficient fi re-lightin g torch at the least possible cost.
The invention willfirstbe described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.
Figure 1 of the drawings is an elevation, partly in section, of my torch after it has been filled with asbestus; Fig. 2, a front view of the flame end; Fig. 3, a plan view of the single piece of metal before it has been bent to form a tapering tube and received its collar; Fig. 1, a cross-section of the tube.
In the drawings, A represents the metal, whose longitudinal edges are lapped to form a tube, while the large end is cut to form the flexible strips to, which are closed inwardly toward the center after the asbestus B has been packed in. Any other porous non-combustible absorbent for oil may be employed; but I prefer asbestus. It will be observed that the piece of metal A tapers from the strips a to the other end, so as to form a tapering tube. For some distance from the larger end I make the perforations a which form burners which are supplied with inflammable oil or other equivalent substance from the inside of the tube.
C is a collar, which is used after the edges a a have been brought togetherone lapped over the other-and the asbestus or other absorbent put in its place. The tapering form of the tube enables me to force down the collar C, so that it will be held in position by friction, prevent the possibility of the lapjoint opening, and yet allow the tube to be opened for examination and replacment of the packing. This collar also subserves another purposena mely, as an extinguisher-when used in connection with the oil-cup D, which is tapered upwardly, soas to have at top an opening of less diameter than the collar 0. After the fire has been lighted, the flame end of the lighter is thrust by a quick motion into the oil-cup until the collar O rests on the top, when the flame is extinguished in the same manner as it is done by the usual extingi'lishers used with candles, the supply of oxygen being suddenly cut off.
In order to use my kindler, it is dipped in the oil of a can D, or may be kept therein, so as to' have the packing saturated with the inflammable substance. It is lighted at the perforated end with a match or from a candle, lamp, or gaslight and held under the fuel with the flame end upward until a sufficient kindle has been obtained, and then extinguished, as before described.
I am aware that absorbents containing oil or equivalent have been employed in a variety of holders; but
What I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-
A fire-kindler consisting of a tapered tube having lap-jointed edges a a a retaining or clamping collar 0, to hold said edges in position, perforations near thelarger end, and the overbent flexible strips a, said tube being packed with asbestus or other absorbent, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
S. P. MORRIS, RoBT. T. BIBB.
