JOSHUA ADLER, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
,FlRE-KINDLER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 739,131, dated September 15, 1903.
Application filed May 6, 1903 Serial No. 15 5,913. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern.- v
Be it'known that I, JOSHUA ADLER, a citizen of the United S tates,residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Kindlers; and I do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to fire-kindlers; and it has for its object to form a fire-kindler made up in crate form and outof combustible materialsuch, for instance, as woodthe crate being filled with loose combustible materialsuch as excelsior, soft coal, small pieces of,
hard coal, or other material-the Walls of the crate being formed with openings to permit the application of a lighted match to the contents of the crate for igniting the same, and the walls of the crate being provided with an envelop or wrapper of paper or equivalent material, so as normally to cover the openings in the crate to prevent the escape or exposure of the crate filling during shipment or storage and yet easily opened or punctured opposite to the openings in the crate, so as to permit the application of 'the lighted match to the crate and its contents.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and such other objects as may hereinafter appear the invention consists in the construction hereinafter particularly described and then sought to be clearly defined by the claim, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of a fire-kindler. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a perspective of a modified form, and Fig. 4. a cross-section on line 4 tot Fig.3.
In the accompanying drawings there is illus trated in Fig. 1 a crate formed of end walls 1 and side walls 2, the side walls being secured to the end walls by any suitable meansfor instance, by tenons 3-the walls being arranged in relation to each other so as to form openings 4., which may extend the entire length of the crate. The crate is filled with excelsior 5 or with soft coal, pieces of hard coal, or other combustible material. A cover or wrapper 6, of paper or equivalent material,
is then applied to the crate, so as to cover the 5 5 openings therein, and thus conceal and prevent the escape of the filling during shipment or storage. When the kindler is to be used, the cover or wrapper is opened or punctured opposite to the openings in the crate, so as to permit the application of a lightedrmatch to the combustible filling for igniting the same.
In Fig. 2 of the drawings the longitudinal openings 4 are formed in two of the side walls,
and the other side walls, one or both, are
formed with a number of holes 7 opening into the interior of the crate, and the end and side wallsare connected together by brads 8 instead of bytenons, as in Fig. 1, although glue or other suitable means may be used instead of tenons or brads. In Fig. 2 of the drawings the cover or wrapper 6 instead of being made in one piece is illustrated as made in separate pieces, but applied so as to lie over the openings in the side wallsfor the purpose of concealing and preventing the escape of the filling of thecrate, which may be of the combustible material mentioned for the filling to the crate illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the separate pieces of the cover or wrapper in Fig. 2 being secured to the side walls .by'a suitable adhesive substance or otherwise.
Theportionot' the wrapper applied to the side walls having the longitudinal openings may be secured to the central portion of the wall, so that-the portions of the Wrapper extending beyond the same and over the longitudinal openings may be in the form of flaps, which will lie across the openings, so as to conceal and prevent the escape of the filling. In both formsof the invention illustrated, however, access is had to the crate-fillin g by either puncturing or opening the cover or wrapper opposite to the openings in the side walls, so
I have illustrated two forms of the invention for the purpose of indicating that changes can be made in the details of the several parts and essential features of my invention still be retained.
The kindler made as described is in a simple, compact, and at the same time attractive form, and the contents of the crate are protected by the wrapper, which can be readily as to permit access to the filling of the crate. 5
opened or punctured by reason of the openings in the side walls of the crate, so as to permit the easy and free access to the combustible filling for the purpose of igniting the same.
When the wrapper is punctured and a match applied, the flame is not only communicated to the contents inside of the crate, but also to the wrapper itself, which being of combustible material readily transmits the flames around the outside of the crate, so that the whole crate is quickly enveloped in flame and the filling material on all sides ignited, whereby is promptly produced a quicker and more intense heat than would be the case if the combustion took place more slowly and the flames had to be transmitted from one point through the body of the filling.
Having described my invention and set forth its merits, what I claim is- A fire-kindler, consisting of a crate provided with a filling of combustible material, the crate having openings in its walls and provided with a combustible covering over the openings adapted to be opened or punctured for permitting access to the interior of the crate through the openings in its walls, said kindler being characterized by combustible material within an apertured walled crate and a combustible covering through which access may be had to the interior of the crate by the covering over the crate-openings and which when the covering and crate contents are ignited at the opening will transmit the flame around the crate and to its contents, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I alfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
