TRACY F. BINGHAM, OF FARWELL, MICHIGAN.
BEE-SMOKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 718,689, dated January 20, 1903. Application filed October I6, 1907. Serial No. 127,492. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TRACY F. BINGHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Far-. WeILMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bee Smokers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to bee-smokers of the class which are provided with a bellows,a main cylinder-supported thereon, and a cylindrical or tapering nozzle for directing the smoke into the beehive, terminating in a supplemental cap or hood. 7
The objects of the invention are to secure an improved form of connection between the tapering nozzle and the cylindrical body of the smoker and between the nozzle and the cap or hood which will keep the smoker clean and prevent the tar and soot from passing to the outside.
The invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
The improvements are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation. Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional detail views. Fig. 4 is a front view.
In the drawings numeral 1 represents the bellows, upon which is mounted the main cylinder 2, having a tapering nozzle 3, terminating in a contracted opening 4.
5 is a cap or hood secured to the tapering nozzle by a wire 6, having its ends 6 inserted in openings in said nozzle, the intermediate portion being coiled to form side handles 8 and wound around the contracted end of the nozzle, holding to it the cap or hood 5.
In bee-smokers as they are now constructed the tapering nozzle has a cylindrical portion fitted over the end of the main cylinder and the outer surface of the tapering nozzle is left exposed to the air. When these smokers are being used, the smoke in passing through the tapering nozzle is condensed by contact with the sides of the nozzle exposed to the outside air, and this condensing action causes tar, soot, and the like to adhere to the inner surface of the nozzle and be blown by the force of the draft into the hive, where it blackens or spots the white sections of the hive or lodges upon the honey, from which it cannot in any way be removed. Further, the condensed smoke or tar when. soft runs into the joint of the nozzle and main cylinder and becomes hardened when cooled, thus rendering difficult the separation of the parts. This tar also contains an acid which when it becomes cooled upon the outside of the metal parts causes them to rust, and thus be destroyed.
To obviate the objections above noted, I provide the main cylinder 2 with an enlarged and slightly-flared end 9, into which the large end of the tapering nozzle 3 is fitted, abutting against the shoulder 9 formed by the enlargement, thus making a tight telescopic joint, which will exclude the soft tar above mentioned and prevent it fromrunning out upon the outside of the nozzle. To prevent the smoke or tar from being condensed upon the sides of the nozzle, I provide a covering 10, composed of strawboard, asbestos, felt, or any other suitable materials which are poor conductors of heat, secured to the said nozzle by wire 6, as before described. This non-conducting covering prevents the sides of the tapering nozzle from becoming cooled by the outside air to a greater extent than the body of the smoker, thus avoiding the danger of the condensation of the smoke or tar upon the inside of the said nozzle. This covering also provides a protection for the hands when the nozzle is being removed or when the handle is grasped by the person holding the smoker. The tapering nozzle may be hinged to the main cylinder, as shown at N, to prevent the complete separation of the parts. The wire 6 secures both the covering 10 and the hood or cap 5 upon the nozzle 3 and provides handles by the coils 8. Not only does the condensed smoke or tar and soot ooze out at the joint between the cylinder 2 and nozzle 3, but also at the opposite end of the nozzle 3, where connection is made with the cap 5. I obviate this by making the cap of double thickness, made up of an outer part a and an inner lining b. The outer part fits over the outer end of the nozzle and is held by the wire 6,while the inner lining fits within the nozzle, and any soot or tar reaching this point runs back into the nozzle and is there consumed.
