'ro ALL wHoM IT MAY ooNonRN: y

- VBe it known that we, O. K. COLLINS and W. B. GROVER, of Woodbury, New Jersey, have invented an Improvement in Vapor-Burning Stoves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exacg` description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention consists of a. burner, which communicates witha. reservoir containing naphtha, or other burning iluid, and is constructed substantially as described hereafter, so that the iluid which passes to the burner shall be vaporized, and shall pass irom the burner in the form of gas, thc latter, on being ignited, producing a lame, which continues to vaporize the iluid as it passes into the burner.

Our invention further consists of a gas-generating burner, in combination with certain pipes, acondenser,

and a valve, so'that wlfen the gas is generated too rapidly in the burner it will raise the valve and pass to the condenser, where it is reduced vto a iiuid state. p f

In order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation. On reference to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this speciiicationl Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our improved coal-oil stove.

Figu're 2, a plan view.

Figure 3, a sectional plan on the line 1 2, iig. 1; and

Figure 4, a detached sectional view, drawn to an enlarged scale.

A is an oblong box or casing of iron, open below and closed at the top, with the exception of thev openings avand a for receiving culinary utensils, the whole being supported on suitable legs, a a. Within the box, A., and at or near the centre of the same, is secured a burner, B, consisting of a case enclosing a chamber, y, and having at its lower end an annular iiange, b, a short distance below which is a disk,.c, there being communications through a number of small holes, e, between the chamber, y, and the narrow space, x, between the ilange, b, and disk, c. A pipe, C, communicates with the lower portion, and a pipe, C', with the upper portion, of the chamber, y-,j and to the bottom, d, of the chamber is secured a' pipe, f, extending upwards and nearly to the top of the chamber, y, its upper end being closed by a valve, g, the spindle, j, of which extends through the bottom of the burner. The pipe C communicates with' an oil reservoir, D, situated above -the box, A, and with the pipe C communicate two pipes, E E', the latter having at its upper. end an ordinary gas burner, `l. With the pipe E communicates a pipe, F, the lower end of which extends, in the form-of a coil, F', through a tank', G, and into a lower tank or reservoir, G. The pipe C has al valve, z', which is maintained in contact with its seat by u. spiral spring, o. The pipes C' E are p1 ovided with'cocks, s and t, the fo'rmer intervening between the burner, B, and reservoir, D,`and the latter between the two burners, B and l. Naphtha or other burning iluid is introduced into the reservoir D, from which it flows through the pipe C into the chamber y; the tank G is lled win water, and the valve g is raised, `after which the burner is heated by a pan of ignited alcohol, or in any other suitable" manner. vAs the iluid in the chamber, y, is heated, a gas is generated, which passes down the pipe f, and through the openings e, into the narrow annular space z, from which it passes in theform of an annular flame, the latter maintaining the burner at such a heat as to vaporize the contents of the chambery. lThe amount of duid introduced yinto tho chamber y may be regulated by means of the cock s, and the extent ofthe flame by adjusting the valve g. Should there be an excessive pressure of gas, in consequence of \its too rapid generation within the burner, the valve i will be elevated, and 'the superuous 'gas will escape through the pipe C to the pipe F and coil F', where it will be condensed, and will flow in u liquid form into'the tank G', from which it may be again transferred to the reservoir D. If alight is required, the cock t is turned so as to permit the gas to flow to the burner l, where Ait is ignited. The ilame of-the burnerB may be at any time extinguished by depressing the valve g-to its seat at the upper end of pipe f. i o

Without conning ourselves to' the precise construction and arrangement of parte herein described, we claim as our invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent-.

A1. The burner B, consisting of the chamber y, eommuniciting with an elevated reservoir, the ilangevb, and

disk c, with then-intervening annular space w, communieating with the'rsnid chamber y, the whole beingja'rrunged substantially as 'and for the purpose described.

2.- The cmbination of the above withthe pipe. f and valve g.

3. The gas-generting burner B, in combination with a. pipe F, watentank G, and vulve and pipes Cend El I' In testimony whereof we havev signed eurl names te this specicfatin, in thepresence of two aubscxfi-bng witnesses.
