GEORGE E. STILLMAN AND FREDERICK MARKOE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENN- SYLVANIA, ASSIGNORS OF TWO-FIFTHS TO EDWARD H. ZITZMAN AND EDVARD J. THOMPSON, OF SAME PLACE.

OIL-BURNING STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,084, dated March 1, 1892. Application filed July 25, 1891. Serial No. 400,703. (No model.)

To (bl; whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE R. STILLMAN and FREDERICK HARKOE, both of the cityand county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Oil-Burning Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to oil-burning stoves;

and it consists of certain improvements, which IO are fully set forth in the following specification, and are shown in the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.

The object of our invention is to produce an efficient oil-burning stove of great heating I 5 power, possessing security against danger of explosion, and having freedom from the objectionable presence of smoke or oder.

Our invention relates to various improvements in the construction and arrangements of the parts and in the combination thereof, as is hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In carrying out our invention we employa separate oil tank or reservoir connected with the wick-receiver to supply oil thereto, so constructed and combined therewith as to prevent an excessive flow of oil thereto and to insure a greater facility in the feeding of the oil and a consequent regularity in the flame.

0 Our invention also relates to certain improvements in the construction of the wickfeeding devices and in the construction and arrangement of the burners, whereby a more perfect and more safe combustion is obtained 5 and the burners may be readily exposed for the purposes of trimming, 850.

Another feature of our invention consists of a down draft-pipe communicating with the upper part of the stove and leading to an outlet-pipe, whereby a perfect draft is obtained and the smoke and products of combustion are drawn off to the outlet, and the smoke and odor are prevented from escaping into the room.

These and the other improvements of our invention are more particularly described hereinafter with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved oil-burning stove. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same on the line 1 2 of Fig.

1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 4: is a horizontal sectional view on the line 3 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the cone-supporting stand, and Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the detached lock of the stove-lid.

A is the base of the stove having the casing or body B hinged thereto, as shown at b, and C is the top of the stove, which may be hinged to the body or casing B, as shown at c. The particularform and construction of these portions of the stove are immaterial to our invention.

D is a stand or frame bolted or otherwise secured upon the base A by means of the legs 01 and provided with a flat perforated top D, having one or more openings at for the burners E. The base A is formed with openings to admit the air to the burners through the perforations of the fiat top D. This perforated top D may be made integral with the body of the stand D, or it may be made of a separate perforated piece of suitable materialsuch as tin-secured thereto. The top of the stand D is preferably formed with a flange d about the opening a to support the cones or flues F. v

G is a wick-receiver bolted to the under surface of the base A to receive the wicks from the burners E and to supply oil thereto.

I is an oil-reservoir connected with thewickreceiver at its lower portion by means of a tube a) and having its upper surface at a lower level than the top of the wick-receiver to prevent an excess of oil flowing into the latter. This oil-reservoir is preferably connected with the frame of the stove by means of a connecting-piece I.

The burners E are provided with flanges e, by which they are bolted to the base-frame A, and have their upper ends projecting through the apertures a in the stand.

E are caps bolted to the sides of the burners E, in which are journaled rods J, carrying the ratchets j, which project through openings in the burners E into the wick-passage thereof for the purpose of operating the wick. These rods J terminate in handles J on the outside of the stove forthe purpose of manipulating the wicks in the usual manner.

K is a perforated cover or top carried by the body or casing of the stove I3.

F are cones or fines carried by the perforated top or cover K.

L are caps for the burners E, carried by the cones F and provided with openings 1. These capsL may be made integralwith the conesF or may be made separate and subsequently connected therewith. hen the body or casing B of the stove with its top K is moved upon the hinge b it will be seen that these caps L will be raised with the cones F, thus entirely exposing the ends of the burners E and the top of the stand D.

M is a downdraft-pipe opening to the perforated top K and connected therewith, so as to be moved with it.

N is an elbow outlet-opening through the base A and registering with the end of the downdraftpipe M. The products of combustion, smoke, and odors from the burners E are drawn down through the pipe M into the outlet N and thence to the smoke pipe or chimney.

The top or cover 0 is provided with a central opening 0, about which may be arranged the usual projecting ribs 0.

P is a removable lid adapted to it the opening 0, which may be held in place by means of a T-shaped look 19, adapted to be received in the slotted piece Q, carried by the top K.

R is an inlet in the wick-receiver G for the removal or insertion of the wick which may be provided with a cap g.

S is a supporting-bracket hinged to the base of the stove.

The oil-reservoirI is provided with a threaded opening 5 to receive a threaded cap T, through which may be inserted a perforated tube U to facilitate the feeding of the oil. The threaded opening .9 may be closed by an air-light cap V. The reservoir I may be filled wit-l1 an absorbent material W to take off the pressure in the receiver G.

\Vhile we prefer the minor details of construction shown, we do not limit ourselves to them, as it is apparent that they may be varied in many ways without departing from the invention.

Having now described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Let tors Patent, is-

1. In an oil-burning stove, the combination, with the burners, of a perforated top or cover located above them, fines leading from the burners to the perforated top or cover, and a downdraft-pipe leading from said perforated top or cover down to an outlet in the lower part of the stove.

2. An oil-burning stove having a closed top or cover, burners adjacent to the base of the stove, fines leading from said burners to a point below the closed top or cover, and a downdraft-pipe leading from below the closed top or cover to a point below the burners.

In an oil-burning stove, the combination of a closed cover, a perforated plate or top located below said cover, a burner located below said perforated plate or top, a flue leading, from said burner to the perforated plate, and a downdraft-pipe leading from the perforated plate or top down to the lower portion of the stove.

4. In an oil-burning stove, the combination of the base, the burners supported thereby, an outlet carried by said base, the body portion or casing movable with reference to the base, and a downdraft-pipe carried by said body or casing leading from the upper portion thereof and registering with the outlet in the base.

5. In an oil-burning stove, the combination of a fixed base portion provided with an outlet, burners carried by said base, a body portion or casing hinged to said base portion, a perforated top carried by said body portion or casing, a downdraft-pipe carried by said body portion and leading from the perforated top thereof to the outlet in the base portion, and fines carried by perforated top and leading to the burners.

In testimony of which invention we have hereunto set our hands.
