JOHN FlSdHER AND EMIL PREISER, OF MILWAUKEE, NVISOONSIN.

STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,210, dated July 19, 1892.

Application filed February 13, 1892. Serial No. 421,435. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JOHN FISCHER and EMIL PREISER, citizens of the United States, and residents of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

Our invention has for its object to provide a stove for cooking or heating purposes in which liquid or solid fuel may be burned at the pleasure of the user; and to this end the said invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts to be hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l representsaside elevation, partly in section, on line 1 l of the succeeding figure and illustrates our improvements in connection with an ordinary cookstove; Fig. 2, a horizontal section on line 2 2 of the preceding figure with parts broken away; Fig. 3, a detail perspective view of a wick-case that forms part of our invention; Fig. 4, a detail section on line 4 4 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 a detail elevation viewed on line 5 5 of Fig. 4.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A represents an ordinary cook stove, and trunnioned in the front portion of this stove is a casing B for wicking C, the latter being, preferably, of asbestus. One of the wick-case trunnions 1) extends outward from the stovewall in which it has its bearing and is hollow for the greater portion of its length, this hollow portion being screw threaded in said wick-case, as shown in Fig. 2. The trunnion 1) turns freely in a fluid-tight bushing c, that forms part of a socket D for a turning plug E, and said trunnion is provided with one or more jet-openings d, in communication with the surrounding bushing. The outer closed end of the trunnion b is preferably squared to engage a corresponding opening in a crank or handle F, held in place by the overlapping head of a screw e, that engages said trunnion; but any suitable means may be employed to form a rigid connection between the handle and said trunnion. Fitted to the socket D, in rear of the plug E, is a pipe G, that leads to reservoir H for inflammable fluid, and as a matter of convenience this reservoir may be supported on a bracket I at the rear of the stove, as shown in Fig. 1. The plug E is for the purpose of controlling the feed of the burning fluid to the hollow trunnion that communicates with the wick-case B, and adjacent to the reservoir H, the pipe G is preferably provided with a stop-cock J, in order to cut off the inflammable fluid as close as possible to the source of supply when not needed for fuel.

A plate K is pivotally connected to the bottom of the stove, and by means of links L this plate is coupled to the wick-case B to move with the latter when the handle F is operated.

When liquid fuelsuch as kerosene-oil-is to be burned, the Wick-case B is turned so as to stand in the position shown by full lines in Fig. 1, and the plate K is lowered by the same movement to come over the grate-bars M of the stove to prevent an excess of draft from below, and the supply of oil to the point of ignition is regulated by means of the turning plug E, above described.

When solid fuelsuch as wood or coalis to be burned, the liquid fuel is cut off and the wick-case with the plate linked thereto turned to stand in the position shown by dotted lines Fig. 1 at which time the said plate forms the front wall of the fire-box.

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a stove, of a wickcase trunnioned therein to connect with a source of liquid fuel and a pivotal plate linked to the back of the wick-case to move therewith, whereby this plate serves as a grate-cover when said wick-case is swung down and a fire-box wall when the same is raised, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of a stove, a wick-case trunnioned therein, onetrunnion of the wickcase made hollow for a portion of its length the back of the wick-case to move therewith,

substantially as set forth.

In testimony thatwe claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands, at Milwaukee, 10 in the county of Milwaukee and State of VVisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.
