IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-HEATERS.

The Schedule referrd bo :In these Lettera Patent of the same.

To all whom it 'ma/y concern Beit known that I, WILLIA'M C. TROWBRIDGE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Gas-Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, referencel being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure 1 represents a vertical section of my Aimproved stove.

Figure 2 is a'plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to certain improvements on that kind of gas-stoves in which heated hydrocarbonliquids are consumed.

The invention consists, first, in a new arrangement of pipes for conducting the oil to the flame with an object of collecting impurities and sediments, before the oil or its vapors reach the' small orifice of the burner. frequently clogged by the impurities of the oil7 and the eifectiveness of the stove thereby impaired.

The invention also consists in constructing the stove of open work, for the purpose of admitting air, to facilitate perfect combustion.

A, in thedrawing, represents the llame-cup of my improved stove. It is made' of cast-iron, or other suitable material, of'suitable size and shape..` If made for a small stove, with a single opening in the top plate, I prefer to make it of circular form; but for larger stoves, it will be correspondingly enlarged.

It is provided with a horizontal ilange, a, which projects from its upper edge to the outside, and is perforated at its upper part.

The cup Ais supported on suitable legs, or standards, B B, which are fastened to its flange, a, or otherwise, as may be desired.

Up'on the flange is`placed a vertical plate, C, which supports the main stove-plate D, the latter being, by means of bolts E E, secured to the flange a as shown.

The plate G is perforated at suitable intervals.

In the apparatus now in use, this orifice is' The stove-plate has suitable apertures for cookingvessels.

F is a pipe conducting the hydrocarbon-liquid om the reservoir to the cup A.

lhe reservoir is higher than the stove.

The pipe, however, is conducted under the stove,

v*and then up, and throughan opening in the plate C,

into the stove, where it is turned down into thc cup and then bent up again, its end carrying the burner b, as shown in iig. 1.

There is a plate, G, suspendedfrom the upper arm 0f the pipe F, directly above the burner, for the purpose of distributing the heat. The horizontal arm c of the pipe F, under the stove, serves to collect all sediments and impurities that are 'in the oil, and prevents them from reaching the burner.

The oil, at the lstarting of a fire, escapes through the burner'and overflows, in a very small quantity, into the cup A, where it is ignited by applying a match.

The heat from this re causes the oil in the pipe to be converted into gas, and this gas will, when it issues from the burner, immediately ignite, not falling into the cup.

When the lire has, for a short time, been in opera y tion, the gas alone will burn, and there will be no flame on the bottom of the cup.

The perforations in the sides of the lcup A, andin the ring C, allow atmospheric air to the flame, and facilitate combustion.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Carrying the pipe F under the stove, substantially as described, for thc purpose of collecting sedi-v
