HEATING DEVICE FOR WAGON-TIRES AND S TOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,411, dated August 8, 1899.

Application filed May 4, 1899. Serial No. 715,556. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CLARK ROBINSON, aciti- 'zen of the United States of America, residtains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and

to the figures of reference marked thereon,

which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to tire-heaters of that class using oil as fuel and burner and vaporizing pipes as means for consuming the oil.

The object of the invention is by anovel construction and arrangement of parts to materially reduce the cost of construction of a tire-heater of this character, While retaining its full effectiveness and increasing its rapidity and convenience in use.

The invention will be hereinafter fully described and claimed. i

Referring to the drawings, in which the same numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my new and i111 proved tire-heater. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through one of the supportingbrackets.

The oil passes from an elevated reservoir 8 through the supply-pipe 2, the horizontal portion of whichis arranged centrally within a cylinder or retort 1, and said portion within the retort is formed with a series of small apertures 2, through which the oil drops to the bottom of the retort or cylinder, the inner end of said supply-pipe 2 being closed by a cap. The ends'of the retort or cylinder are also closed by caps, as shown.

The straight retort or cylinder 1 is connected centrally by a coupling 9 with a straight burner-pipe 3, extending in a line beneath the retort. This retort l and burner 3 together form a straight vaporizer. The ends 3 of the burner-pipe extend upward at right angles and connect at their upper ends with the circular burner or tire-heating pipe 6, the

latter being thus raised above the plane of the burner-pipe 8. In some instances I may prefer to omit the circular burner-pipe 6. It is also obvious that said burner-pipe 6 could be lowered to a position on a level with the burner-pipe 3.

5 5 indicate the supporting-brackets, which are formed with the upper retort-bearings 5, which receive the retort or cylinder, and with intermediate bearings 5, which receive the burner-pipe 3 to hold and support the latter in position below the retort, said brackets also having rectangular openings 5 to receive and support the long shallow pan 4 in line below the burner-pipe 3. The object of this pan is to catch the drippings of oil from the burner-pipe 3, and by lighting the oil collected in this pan before turning on the flow of oil from the reservoir 8 the retort or cylinder is made hot before the oil begins to flow into it from the reservoir, thus effecting a saving and causing the generator or retort to operate at once. The oil being then turned on flows into the perforated supply-pipe 2 and drops through the perforations therein upon the hot bottom of the retort, when the vaporization at once begins. The vapor thus generated mixes with the requisite quantity of air, which enters the retort through an opening 10 in one of its end caps, passes down through the central coupling 9 into the bu rnerpipe 3, and a portion of it burns at the flameopenings in the latter, while the bulk of the vapor thus generated passes on into the circular burner-pipe 6, over which the tires are suspended, entering the said circular burnerpipe from both ends of the burner-pipe 3. It will be noted that the supply-pipe 2 passes through the opening 10, and therefore said opening is a little larger than the pipe to permit a certain quantity of air to pass into the retort,

By elevating the circular burner-pipe 6 above the burner-pipe 3, as shown, no oil can get into said circular pipe. Therefore when the oil in the burner-pipe 3 begins to generate it forces the gas or vapor to rise into the circular burner-pipe 6, where it burns.

It will be seen that by placing the retort across the circle of the tire-heating pipe 6, instead of forming it in a circle or square, I save almost one-half the cost of making the fil1 the pipes in the old way.

A suitable cover-such as described in my prior patent, No. 527,51, dated October 16,

, 1894-may be employed, and the heater may be set directly upon the ground or upon a suitable base.

By omitting the circular burner-pipe the straight vaporizer, consisting of theretort and burner-pipe 3, with the supporting-brackets and drip-pan, could be used as a heating device for stoves or other purposes.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A tire heater, comprising a circular burner, astraight retort extending across the circle of said burner and means for supply i ng oil and air to said retort,- and the straight burner extending in line beneath and communicating with the retort and also with the circular burner, and arranged below .the plane of said circular burner, substantially asand for thepurpose set forth.

2. A tire heater, comprising a circular burner, a straight retort extending across the circle of said burner, and means for supplynicatingwith the circular burner, substantially as set forth.

3. A tireheater, comprising a circular burner, a straight retort extending across the circle of said burner, and means for supplyingair. and oil to said retort, the straight burner extending in line beneath and communicating with the retort, and also with the circular burner,an'd arranged below the plane of said circular burner, and the long dripj'p'an positioned in line beneath the straight I. burner, for the purpos'eispecified; substantially as set forth.

4. The herein-described tire-heater, eonf sisting of the circular burner, the straight re-. tort extending across the circle of the same, the-supply-pipe leading from a suitable reservoir and extending inside the retort; and 1 formed therein with'the smallfeed-openings; the straight burner-pipe extending in linebe- 1 neath the straight retort, below the plane of the circularburner, communicating centrally with the retort and having the upwardly-ex- 3 tending ends communicating with the circular burner, and the drip-pan mounted in line beneath the straight burner-pipe, for the purpose specified; substantially as set forth.
