APPARATUS FOR LIGHTING, HEATING, AND COOKING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,014, dated November 10, 1896. Application filed March 23, 1895. Serial No. 542,920. (No model.) Patented in Canada February 21, 1895, No. 48,271.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES GRAY PENNY- CUIOK, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, and Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a certain new and Improved Apparatus for Lighting. Heating, and Cooking, (for which Letters Patent have been granted in Canada, No. 48,271, dated February 21, 1895,) of which the following is a speci fication.

The object of my invention is to devise an effectual apparatus for lighting, heating, and cooking; and it consists,essentially,of a lamp constructed as hereinafter described, pro- Vided with a concave glass forming half the chimney, over which is supported a waterchamber having a concave funnel-shaped flue extending through it which forms the upper half of the lamp-chimney, of a removable cover placed over the said water-chamber to form a cooking-chamber, and in such other details of construction as are hereinafter specifically set forth and then definitely claimed.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a section through cab in Fig. 1.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.

In Fig. l A is the lamp-bowl, having a series of holes a pierced through the top thereof close to the burner B. O is a collar secured to the bowl below the said holes.

The burner 13 is of ordinary construction and is provided with the usual perforated plate D. It is, however, provided with a supplemental plate E, secured within the cap F, close to the upper edge of the wick-tube G. This plate is either perforated or else a space is left between it and the tube for the passage of air.

II is a glass forming the lower half of the lamp-chimney and set upon the burner in the usual way.

I is a water-chamber having a concave funnel-shaped flue J extending through it. The water-chamber has a flange 1), whereby it may be fitted to the glass H, enabling the flue J to form the upper half of the lamp-chimney, thus providing the proper draft for the lamp. The upper end of the funnel-shaped flue J projects through the upper side of the waterchamber I and is covered with a deflector K, which is provided with a number of holes 0. The hot air escaping from the flue is thus spread laterally instead of being permitted to ascend directly upward. This deflector might of course be constructed in many other different ways.

L is a cover resting on top of the waterchamber I, on which it is held in position by the flange d. This cover is preferably,though not necessarily, dome-shaped at the top and is provided with a suitable knob or handle M.

N are a series of holes formed in this cover near its lower edge to provide an exit for the heated air rising from the lamp.

O are supplemental flues formed by tubes extending through the water chamber I from the flue J to the chamber formed by the coverv L.

P are a series of water-tubes connected, as shown, to the water-chamber I, close to the bottom thereof. These tubes extend a short distance vertically and are then turned downward and connected with the water-chamber I at or near its upper surface.

Q is a water-inlet located at the top of one of the water-tubes.

R is a water-tap located in the same or any other tube, preferably at a point not much below the upper surface of the water-chamber I, so as to avoid any danger from totally emptyin g the water-chamber and thus exposing the joints and connections to a degree of heat likely to injure them. Each tube is preferably provided with a small steam and air exit S at its upper end.

T is a ring on which the apparatus rests. This ring is supported on legs U, which thus relieve the lamp-burner of the weight of the apparatus.

The operation of my device is briefly as follows: Before the lamp is lighted Water is poured in through the inlet Q, so as to fill both the water-chamber I and the tubes P. The lamp may then be lighted and gives sufficient light for all ordinary purposes. At thesame time the water is gradually heated and may be used for culinary purposes. If

the hot water is not withdrawn, but is allowed to remain in the apparatus, the water-tubes form an efficient radiator for imparting warmth to the apartment.

If it is desired to use the apparatus for cooking purposes, the cover L is removed and the articles to be cooked are placed in a series of jars or vessels around the deflector K. If any roast is to be cooked, it is placed in a pan on top of the jars or vessels containing the other articles being cooked. Then when the cover is replaced the heated air from the lamp is deflected between the jars or vessels in the apparatus, and ascends to the top of the cover L. Thence it is deflected and passes down around the sides of the said cover and out through the holes N. In this way the heat from the lamp is very effectually utilized, and as, owing to the size of the lamp-flame, the process is comparatively slow the articles cooked retain their full flavor and are rendered exceedingly tender.

The peculiar construction of thelamp bowl and burner, which makes the apparatus very cleanly and free from objectionable smell, must be briefly referred to.

All lamps are subject to what is known as sweating, that is, more oil is drawn up by the wick than is consumed, and trickles down over the burner onto the bowl, making the same disagreeable to handle. In order to prevent this oil from spreading over the bowl, I provide the collar O, which thus catches this oil and returns it to the bowl of the lamp through the holes a.

.All oil, when used for lighting and heating purposes, gives off vapors from its surface, especially if somewhat heated. The holes a permit of the exit of these vapors, which are directed by the collar 0 into the burner, where they miX with the air used in the process of combustion, and are consumed without causing either smell or danger of explosion. The plate E prevents any such vapors from passing the lamp-flame without being properly consumed.

If it is desired to produce the apparatus at less expense, the water-tubes P may be dispensed with and the water inlet and tap connected directly to the Water-chamber I. From this description it will be seen that I have provided a simple, cleanly, and efficient apparatus for either lighting, heating, or cooking.

I am aware that it is old to construct lampstoves with a water-space over the lamp and have a tapering flue therein through which the heat from the lamp is forced to pass, and hence do not attempt to claim such as. new; but so far as known to me it is new to form a dome-shaped opening through said waterspace, which I regard as a very important feature, inasmuch as it provides a very large space against which the heated air from the lamp strikes, and the water in the water-space is thus heated much more quickly than in the construction just described as old.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In an apparatus of the class specified, a

a hot-air chamber above said water-chamber arranged to receive articles to be heated and having communication with said domeshaped opening in the water-chamber, and openings near the lower end of said hot-air chamber, whereby the light emanates from the flat transparent part of the chimney and the direct heat of the lamp acts directly 011 said dome-shaped opening, heating the water in the water-chamber, and then passes into said hot-air chamber and out of the openings near the bottom thereof, substantially as described.

2. In an apparatus of the class described, a water-chamber, a cover resting on said chamber and forming a hot-air chamber arranged to receive articles to be heated, the said Waterchamber having a dome-shaped flue therein forming the top of the lamp-chimney and receiving heat directly from the lamp-burner, and a deflector in said hot-air chamber forming a continuation of said dome-shaped flue and arranged to support a vessel to be heated, and openings in the side of said deflector arranged to radially deflect the heated air, substantially as described.

3. In an apparatus of the class specified, the combination of the water-chamber I, having a funnel-shaped flue J, extending through it; the deflector K; the water-tubes P; the water-inlet Q; the tap R, and the cover L, held in place by the flange d, and provided with holes N, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

4. In an apparatus of the class specified, the combination of the water-chamber I, having a funnel-shaped flue J, extending through it; the deflector K; flues O; the water-tubes P; the water-inlet Q; the tap R, and the cover L, provided with holes N, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

5. A combined water-heating, cooking and lighting apparatus, comprising a lamp,a chimney having its lower part transparent, a water-heater having a central dome-shaped por tion forming the upper section of the chimney and receiving heat directly from the lampburner, a cooking-chamber above the waterheater having apertures near its bottom for the escape of the waste heat, and a cover for the cooking-chamber to hold the heat in the upper part for cooking purposes, substantially as described.
