SOLDERlNG- IRON HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 761,584, dated May 31, 1904:.

Application filed May 6, 1903. Seria1N0- 155,838. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Beit known that I FREDERICK J .DE Wrr'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Auburn,in the county of Cayuga and State of New .York, have invented certain new. and useful Improvements 1n'Soldering-Iron Heaters; and

I'do declare the following to be afull, 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 apart of this specification.

This invention relates to soldering iron heaters, and has for its object to provide improved means for concentrating the heat about the soldering-iron to more quickly and uniformly heat the same. It is furthermore designed to have the invention embodied in the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings,and-particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevatio of a soldering-iron heater having the device of-the present invention applied thereto and showing a soldering-iron -supported in position to be heated. Fig. 2is a plan view thereof. Fig.3 is a plan view of the top of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation showing the brackets for support of hood'and soldering-iron and the inside of the hood. Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing the adjustability of the bracket for the support of the iron. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the hood, taken on line a a, showing the torch, brackets, and the direction of the flame in the hood, which is designated by the arrows.

Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the figures of. the

- drawings.

For an adequate understanding of the application and operation of the present attachment there has been shown in the drawings a solder-iron heater 1, which may be of any common or preferred type, the one shown having a fuel-supply pipe 2, rising from the top of the can or body which contains the hydrocarbon fuel, usually gasolene, with a burner or torch 3 projected laterally-from the top of the supply-pipe. 'Beneath the torch andcarried by the pipe2 is an ordinary drip-cup 4 to contain a small amount of fuel for initiallyheating the torch or burner.

' In carrying out the present invention it is designed to confine the flame about the torch or burner, preferably by means of a substantially cylindrical hood or casing 5, which embraces the torch and is provided with on outer or forward closed end and a rear open end. This hood is braced or stiffened by means of a metal bar or rib 6, riveted or otherwise secured externally to the bottom or lower side thereof, and is provided at its rear end with a pendent ear or projection 7 For the support of the hood there is a bracket 8, the forward portion of vwhich is extended laterally'to form an arm 9, having an outer terminal pendent car 10, which is connected to the ear or projection 7 of the hood by means of 'a screw 11. The opposite rear end of the bracket is also projected laterally in the same direction'as the arm 9 and is bent "of a bracket 14, applied to the ear 7 of the hood and pierced by the screw 11, from which the bracket inclines upwardly and rearwardly.

to a point above the torch, where it is directed laterally to form an arm 15, extending across the torch and in rear of the hood.

In heating a soldering-iron (indicated at 16) it is thrust into the hood through the rear open end thereof and rested upon the bottom lining of the hood. the handle or shank portion'of the iron resting across the arm as a support to hold the iron in its proper relation with respect to the torch. As best indidieated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, it will be noted that the hood fits close up about the lower side of the torch, so as to give considerable space between the top of the torch and the top of the hood for the reception of the iron and also to direct and confine all of the flame into intimate contact with the iron.

While not absolutely necessary, it is preferred to provide the hood with some heat- 'noncondueting lining 17as, for instance,

asbestosto retard radiation.

For convenience in adjusting the attachment in accordance with different conditions the hood and the bracket 1 L may be adjusted to different angles upon the main bracket 8 through the medium of the screw 11.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is

1. In a soldering-iron heater, the combination with the laterally-projecting torch, of a hood closed at its front end and open at its rear, means for supporting the hood in a position so that the flame from the torch is delivered into the open rear end of the hood and a space is formed for the entrance of the soldering-iron between the end of the torch and the top wall of the hood, and means for supporting the soldering-iron handle above the torch so that the iron is held in position before the flame.

2. In a soldering-iron heater, the combination with the laterally-projecting torch, of a hood closed at its front end and open at its rear, means for supporting the hood from the torch in a position so that the flame from the torch is delivered into the open rear end of the hood, and a space is provided for the entrance of the soldering-iron between the end of the torch and the top wall or the hood, and means for supporting the soldering iron handle above the torch so that the iron is held in position before the flame.

3. In a soldering-iron heater, the combination with a torch, of a flame-confining hood arranged with relation to the said torch, means for adjusting the hood relatively to the torch, and means adjustably secured to the hood for adjustably supporting the iron within the hood relatively to the torch.

4. In a soldering-iron heater, the combination with an upstanding feed-pipe and a torch projected laterally therefrom, of a heat-confining hood supported upon the heater, one

' end of the hood being closed and the opposite end open for the reception of the iron, and means adjustably secured to the hood for supporting the iron therewithin relatively to the torch.

5. The combination with an approximately horizontally arranged torch, of a flame-confining hood mounted thereon and having an adjustable movement in a vertical plane with relation thereto.

6. The combination with an approximately horizontallyarranged torch, of a flame-confining hood spaced therefrom, said hood having a vertically-adjustable movement with relation to the torch, and means adj ustabl y secured to the hood for adjustably supporting the iron therewithin.

7. The combination with an approximately horizontal torch, of a flame-confining hood spaced therefrom, the hood having one end closed and its opposite end open and having a vertically-adjustable movement with relation to the torch, and means adjustably secured to the hood for adjustably supporting the iron therewithin relatively to the torch.

8. In a soldering-iron heater, the combination with an upstanding feed-pipe and torch projected laterally therefrom, of a heat-confining hood supported upon the torch and having a vertically-adjustable movement with relation to the torch, the forward end or the hood being closed and the rear end being open for the reception of the iron, and an iron-support mounted upon the heater and adjustably disposed in the rear of the hood to adjust the iron relatively to the torch.

9. A soldering-iron heater, embodying a hood, amain supporting-bracket and an ironsupporting bracket,having their forward ends connected to the hood, one of the brackets being inclined upwardly and rearwardly and provided with an iron-supporting arm.
