STILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,339, dated November 25, 1902, Application iiled April 17, 1902. Serial No. 103,420. (No model.)

J a/Z w/wm t may concern:

Be it known that we,EDWARD WARREN and lGEORGE W. HEALY, citizens of the United States, residing at Fort Thomas, in the county "of Graham and Territory of Arizona, have in- A tively inexpensive of production, and which Y ss is designed to be placed upon an ordinary cook-stove for the purpose of heating the water and boiling it.

With this object in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction,

` combination, and arrangement of parts,which Will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device. Fig. 2 is an enlargeddetailed sectional view through the end of the hinged tube or trough, and Fig. 3 is a detailed end elevation of said tube or trough.

Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes a boiler having a dischargetube 2.- This boiler is adapted to be placed upon the top of a stove and in the present instance is shown in the form of a tea-kettle.

3 denotes the still, which consists of a shell 4, having supporting-legs 5 and a condensing-chamber 6.

'7 denotes a discharge-pipe for the condensing-chamber, and 8 the faucet at the end thereof. p

9 denotes a tube or trough hinged intermediate its ends at 10 and having one end projecting into the condensing-chanuber and the other end projecting from without the same. This tube or trough is preferably curved, as shown, and is formed at its outer end with a catch-basin 11, formed of an upwardly-projecting flange or strip 12, extending transversely across the end of the trough or tube. Arranged inward of this catch-basin is a lip 13, which when the discharge-tube 2 of the boiler is inserted into the tube or trough 9 projects into the end of said discharge-tube.

14 denotes a faucet communicating with the water-space in the still and having its lower end projecting through an opening 15 in the tube or trough 9, immediately above the lip 13.

The parts being assembled upon the stove, as shown in the drawings, the boiler is filled with water, and the shell #i of the still is also illedwith water. As the water within the boiler turns to steam said steam will discharge through the tubes 2 and 9 into the condensing-chamber, which being surrounded by cold Water will condense the steam into Water, which may be drawn off through the pipe 7 and faucet 8,. As the water within the shell becomes heated it may be removed from the open top of the shell and placed Within the boiler l, or the faucet may be opened and a part of the water within the shell run through said faucet onto the lip 13 and through the tube 2 into the boiler. Any Water of condensation which may remain in the tube 9 at its outer end is caught by withdrawing the tube 2 from the tube 9 and the basin 11, and by tilting the tube 9 on its hinge this water may run or be let into the condensing-chamber.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the inventionwill be readily un-l derstood without requiring an extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus describedour invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A still comprising a shell, a condensingchamber located Within said shell and a IOO hinged tube or trough one end of Which pro- I whereby Water from said shell may be let into jects into said condensing-chamber and the the tube of the boiler, substantially as set other end of which is provided with a catchforth.
