OIL STOVE AND LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,499, dated May 29, 1894.

Application filed August 17, 1893- Serial No. 483,361. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES F. PLACE, a citizen of the United States, residing in Montclair, Essex county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Stoves and Lamps, of which the following 1s .a specification.

This invention relates to the class of stoves and lamps which employ oil as a fuel, and the Ob ect is to provide a construction wherein the heating attachments are borne by the lamp reservoir, all as will be hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, serving to illustrate my invention-Figure 1 is a side view of an oil-stove embodying my improvements, the lamp being in elevation and the heating attachment on line 1, 1, in Fig. 2. Figs. 1 and 1 are details of the construction which will be hereinafter described. Fig. 2 is a plan of the stove.

A is the oil-reservoir, B a central-draft burner, and O a flame-spreader on the burner. These may be of the usual construction, and they are capable of being used with a glass chimney, for purposes of illumination, as any ordinary lamp.

The heating, or stove attachment comprises a special chimney, a platform which rests on and is clamped to the chimney, and legs to support the platform and chimney, the entire heating attachment being supported by the legs, on the oil-reservoir A. In Fig.1 the entire heating attachment is represented in vertical mid-section. The chimney is in two soperposed sections; the lower section, D, which will usually be of cast metal, is flared upwardly and extends up to the combustion point about the level of, or just above the level of the top of the flame-spreader. The contracted base of the chimney section D takes within the raised flange on the chimney gallery b, usually occupied by the glass chimney of an ordinary lamp. This section D of the chimney has on it laterally projecting branches, d, there being fourof these branches as herein shown. The upper section, D, of the chimney will be, by preference, of sheet metal and cylindrical.

At its lower end this section rests on and is supported by the lower chimney-section D, and at its upper end it takes under and supports the platform E. The platformand chimney are clamped together by four straining rods, 6, which connect the platform with the respective branches d, screw-threads on the rods being employed to effect the clampin Legs, e on the heating attachment support it on the reservoir A, thus taking the weight of the attachment off from the chimney-gallery and affording also a broader area of support at the base than would be afforded by the gallery. As herein shown the rod e and leg e are integral, being made from a piece of stout wire. The rod is screw-threaded at its upper end, 6', and adapted to screw into a nut e above the platform, and atthe point where it passes through a hole or aperture in the branch 01, it is bent into the form of a crank, the portion 6 at the bend, taking under the branch and engaging a shallow groove, (1', in the under side thereof.

This construction is clearly shown in Figs. 1

and l, the former being an end elevation of a branch d, and the latter a plan thereof.

In assembling the parts the rod e is passed upwardly through the aperture in the branch 61 and its upper screw-threaded end screwed into the nut 6 by'rotating the rod, the leg e serving as a crank for the purpose. When the rod has been screwed in nearlyhome, the portion 6 of the same will finally wipe into the groove d along the under side of the branch by reason of the springing of the parts. The nuts e screwed onto the upper extremities of the rods e, may rest in recesses in the platform The length of the legs e will be such that the base of the chimney will enter into the flanged chimney-gallery but not bear heavily thereon.

The heating attachment may be lifted off from the lamp and replaced at will.

In a common form of lamp the oil-reservoir rests in an ornamental outer shell or casing.

When such a lamp is employed the heating attachment may be supported on this outer casing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim-- in the respective arms 01, and each having a to bent portion 6 which engages the groove in the branch and a leg portion (2*, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAS. F. PLACE. Witnesses:

HENRY CONNETT, J AS. KING DUFFY.
