HAND HEATING AND STEAMING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 639,657, dated December 19, 1899.
Application filed May 22, 1899. Serial No. 717,784 (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,JUL1Us SIMPSON BERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Blue Mountain, in the county of Tippah and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hand Heating and Steaming Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, .and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of this invention is to provide convenient apparatus to be held or carried in the hand when desired and capable of use merely as a generator of dry heatto warm the hand s, for exampleor for applying steam or vapor, medicated or otherwise, to an y part of the surface of the body or usable for removing by steam spots upon articles of clothing or the like or for other purposes where it may be desirable to apply steam or vapor either momentarily or steadily for an indefinite time.
The apparatus consists of a double-walled combustion-chamber adapted to contain liq uid between its inner and outer walls, a flexible tube leading from the space between the walls, a peculiar tip or nozzle for the tube, a removable cover for closing the chamber above when desired, and means for regulating the admission of air to the combustionchamber.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus, parts being in diametrical section. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.
In the views, A designates the outer shell of a double-walled vessel provided with a hand e B.
O is an inner shell concentric with the outer one, with its bottom above the bottom of the latter and having its normally-open upper end brazed or otherwise secured to a top D, which covers the annular space between the two and is in like manner secured to the outer shell, thus hermetically closing the annular space. In a suitable opening in this top is placed a stopper E, through which passes a short tube F, and upon the projecting outer end of the latter is slipped a closely-fittingflexible tube G of any desired length. In the outer end of the flexible tube is removably fixed a stifi tube II, the outer end of which is inclosed in a cylindrical mass of sponge or like absorbent material and which opens into and terminates in or near the bottom of a cup-like projection or bell-mouth end I of the absorbent body. The body of this sponge is inclosed in a thick sleeve J of non-cond uctin g material-such, for example, as wood.
A cover K is provided for tightly closing the top of the vessel, and a tube leads from the exterior horizontally through the double wall and terminates within the vessel in an open end lying a little above the bottom of the inner shell and nearlyin its axis. In the open outer end of this tube fits and slides a second tube M, having a lateral opening N, which may be wholly or partially closed by sliding this tube farther or less far within the other. The outer end of this second tube is closed, preferably by bending inward at right angles the disk formed in cutting the lateral aperture in the tube.
If the space between the outer and inner shells be nearly filled with liquid and if the stopper be put in place, heat generated within the vessel will be almost entirely absorbed by the liquid, and steam or vapor thereby generated will obviously be delivered in the sponge-cup. The wood sleeve being grasped in the hand, the cup may be pressed upon the skin,over a spot to be removed from the clothing, &c., and the steam may thus be applied precisely where it is wanted, the flexible pipe permitting any desired direction of application. Any steam or vapor which may condense at the tip of the nozzle-tube is at once absorbed, so that there is no dripping in any event. The sponge may be readily removed and cleansed as occasion may require, and since the whole nozzle is removable ordinary straight or curved nozzles may be instantly substituted should the nature of the work make it desirable.
For generating the desired heat I prefer to use a solid smokeless fuel, such as charcoal. The desired amount of this fuel being placed in the vessel and ignited, air is delivered through the lateral tube centrally and near the base of the mass, and the rapidity of combustion is governed by sliding the laterallyopen tube in and out, The liquid having been brought to the proper temperature for too delivering the steam or vapor, the draft may be out OE, and the subsequent slow combustion continues for a very long time, causing a constant delivery of vapor at practically unchanging temperature. At such times or when the apparatus is to be used simply for obtaining dry heat the cover may be placed in position, still further retarding combustion, and if the vessel is properly made it may be used without liquid in the space between its walls and with the vapor-delivery tube removed.
What I claim is The combination with a steam-generator of the class described and a pipe leading there- JULIUS SIMPSON BERRY.
