FUMIGATO'R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,091, dated February 12, 1895.

Application filed October 16,1894.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MYLES YOUNG WARREN, aciti'zen of the United States, residing at Germantown, (Philadelphia,) in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fumigators, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to fumigators.

The object is to produce a device, in the nature of a vermin destroyer, by which suitable substances may be readily and rapidly vaporized and the vapor thoroughly saturated, by being mixed with steam, and in asaturated state, discharged upon plants or foliage; and further, to insure the device against injury, as by burning out, and at the same time, render it strong, durable and effective in operation.

WViththese objects in view, the invent-ion a combustion chamber, a shell orcasing exterior and inclosing an annular water space around the vessel, the shell having its open top closed by a removable cover, fitted thereon in a manner, whereby the fumes from the combustion chamber and the vapor from the water space, will mix in being discharged; and

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part-of this specification, in which like letters indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1, is a view in perspective of one embodiment of the invention, the cover being removed and shown above the vessel; and Fig. 2, is a viewin central vertical section, taken longitudinally of the vessel.

In the drawings: A, represents a vessel open at the top and provided with a horizontal B, represents an open top shell or casing, inwhich the vessel is secured and supported above the bottom thereof, in any suitable manner, as upon feet I). The respective diameters of the shell and vessel are so relatively proportioned, as to leaye an annular space b between the walls thereof, which when filled with water, forms a protecting jacket and renders burning outimpossible. This shell is provided with a sliding door b which leads,

by way of an inclosed passage I), through the water space, into the ash pit of the vessel. Upon diametrically opposite sides, at the top, a portion of the wall of the shell is turned outward and bent up into handle holding lugs b leaving openings b through which the fumes and vapor escape. For facility intreating plants, foliage or the like, a hose 19 may at times be employed by being connected with a nozzle b 0, represents a cover, designed to fit down upon the shell, provided with oppositely disposed projections or lugs c, c, which, when the cover is in position, may be made to register with the discharge openings of the shell, in a manner, to partially or wholly close the same, so as to direct the discharge through the hose. In use, tobacco stems or other substance is placed in the vessel, upon the grate, and the annular space filled with water. Upon ignition, the fumes rising in the combustion chamheavy with moisture will not rise immediately but be retained and prove much more effective.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A fumigator comprising an open top ves' sel provided with a combustion chamber, an open top shell or casing notched at the top and inclosing the annular water space around the vessel, an ash pit, and a removable cover for the casing with flanges to fit the notches, substantially as described.

2. A fumigator, comprising an open top vessel provided with a combustion chamber, an open top shell or casing inclosing an annular water space around the vessel and having notchesat its sides through which the fumes from the combustion chamber escape, and a removable cover for the casing provided with chamber, and the outer with an ash pit, and In testimony whereof I have hereunto atat the top provided with notches for the esfixed my signatnrein the presence of two subcape of the fumes, and hose connected from scribing witnesses.
