FLAME-PRODUCING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATIPON forming part of Letters Batent No. 739,425, dated September 22, 1903. A Applioationled March 13. 1903. Serial No. 147,594. V(No model.)
To all whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, ABE OENsrEIN KAPLAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State 'producing iiame as a substitute for the ordil nary matches.
The inconvenience and danger attending the use of matches are sufflcientlyobvious,
rbesides the liability of fire from carelessness in throwing away the still-lighted match after use.
My invention provides against these disadvantages and furnishes a convenient recep tacle for and means of using a combustible globule or pelletmade to produce and carry a ilame sufficient. for all ordinary purposes and leave noinfiammable residuum.
To this end my invention consists in a pocket-magazine adapted to carry and feed one by one iniiammable pellets, in combinaholding and utilizing the inamed pellet.
My invention is illustrated in the accom-.
panying drawings, in which* Figures l and 2 are elevations from points of View ninety degrees apart of the magazine or pellet-carrier, showing the holding device utilized-as a cap for the magazine. Figs. 3 and 4 are exterior views from the same points of view, showing the position of the carrier in the act of feeding pellets and the holding device in the act of withdrawing a pellet for use. Fig. 5 is adetail view of the pellet and the igniting-plates between which it is passing in the act of ignition.
The magazine A is preferably a hollow-tube of about the appearance and dimensions ofva fountain-pen and adapted to be carried in.
the same manner. The tube is closed at one end preferably by a removable plug; but it is entirely open at the other end, where project two elastic tongues d a at opposite sides of and parallel with the projected axis of the tube. These tongues are so formed as to guide and retain a pellet p, issuing from the magazine, and are provided at their outer 'ends with two toothed or suitablymoughened plates b b, between which the pellet must pass in being drawn outward, the-tongues a being forced apart against their natural resiliency in so doing.
The' holder B for removing, holding, and applyingV a flaming' pellet d is also utilized as' a cap to close the open end of the magazine A. It is substantially cupshaped to lit over the end of the magazine A and cover and protect the projecting tongues d and has itself two jaws b b, projecting at opposite sides of and parallel to its axis and provided with terminals b H, suitably formed to grasp and securely hold a pellet a when the jaws b b are forced together against their own resiliency after the manner of a pair of tongs. In the illustration the terminals bare formed as shallow cups to fit and clasp the pellet at opposite sides; but they may be formed as claws for a like purpose.
The pellet as I prefer to manufacture it is a globule of absorbent clay or earthy material charged by absorption with an innammable liquid and covered by a suitable envelop or coating of such a nature as to con'- stitute an impervious varnish inflammable by friction against a rough surface or one provided with or formed of asuitable chemical' element, as" in the case of so-called safety matches.
The vcoating in this case serves the double purpose of preserving the absorbed liquid from evaporation and also by its own ignition heating the absorbent matrix, Vaporiz- .ing and igniting the contained liquid, and causing a more intense and effective combus tion.
clined so as to allowthe pellets to run towardv the open endand the outer one to pass out ward between the tongues a until stopped by the plates or blocks d- The cover B is re moved and held in such position that the 'tonguesy b may be compressed between the thumb and forefinger of one hand clasping the pellet between the terminals, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4. The pellet is then Withdrawn directly outward between the rougliened or prepared surfaces of the plates p, as indicated in Fig. 5, Which yield apart through the resiliency of th-e tongues a, but with sufficient frictional pressure against the ignitible coating of the pellet to inlame the latter. The coating being inflamed, the substance of the pellet is heated, thereby vaporizing and causing the expulsion and combustion of the vaporized liquid. The absorbent material may be of a friable nature, so as to be resolved to dust in the operation, if preferred, and the nature and the quantity of the various combustible elements may be arranged to produce the intensity and duration of combustion desired for given purposes.
For cigar-lighting purposes the device is especiallyT adapted, as it is conveniently carried in the pocket and used with great convenience; but it is equally useful and convenient for all other purposes.
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United StatesM A pocket carrier for iniammable pellets consisting of an elongated cylinder or magazine normally open at one end and there provided with opposite resilient tongues having rougliened plates or blocks carried by the tongues, in combination with a cap or cover provided with resilient extensions adapted to hold a pellet between their terminals, said cap or cover adapted to fit over and cover the open end and tongues of the magazine, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ABE ORNSTEIN KAPLAN.
