' Application filed. June-12, 1925. Serial N-o. 36,603.

7 a simple,'readily applied, durable, and efficient protector adapted to serve as a protection against wind and to retain the heat from the burner, and in fact, to fully fill the requirements of such a device when in use, Theproteotor is readily applied to torches or burners of known construction or maybe readily Well adapted to any torch or burner of the general type for which this is made. When once applied theprotector is securely held about'the burner-and there is no liability of its becoming detached and deranged and at the same time the burner itself is safeguarded against in-.

jury in anyway. I Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the .novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out intheappended claims.

The invention, in one of its preferred forms, is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which with the numerals of reference marked thereon, form apart of this specification; and, in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gasoline torch or burner with my present form of hood applied.

Figure 2 is an end view thereof, with a part in section, the section being on the line 2-2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 3 is a detailed underside perspective of the hood removed.

Figure 4 is aplan view on anenlarged scale, of the burner with the top plate in position.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.

In the present instance the hood or pro tector 'is shown or applied to a gasoline torch or burner 1 of any of the well known or approved forms of construction, of which 2 is the burner tube, and 3 the supply pipe .t e f fon.

samesagainst wind and water.

The hood is preferably, though not necessarily, constructed of copper in order to better retain the heat, Itv increases the strong power of the flame and protects the It admits oxygen of the air and carries the same between the burner and the hood producing a melting heat The wind hasno chance to extinguish the flame byreasonof the increased heat, between the hood and the burner. v W

1 The hood comprises bottom portion 4 with central longitudinal depression 5 and an upturned flange portion 6, having a depression 7 1n allgnment with the depression 5, as

8"which in the present instance are'shown outwardly tapered, (see Figure 3) and provided with the flanges 9, (see Figure t 1 10 is the rear wall rising'from the bottom 4 having therein at substantially its midheight an opening.;11,-which*may be of any desired shape and withone .or more holes 12, which may be required for the admission seen best in Figure 3. From the opposite; edgesof this bottom portion extend the sides,

ofair. It-is also provided with the vertical passage 13 'in communication with. the opening ll, as seen clearly-in Figure 2, to permit of the application ofthehood to the burner. This back end-wall 1O :isprovided .at; its upper. edge with the lugs 14, as seen clearly in Figure 4:. One of thesidewalls 8 has a slotfor the reception of the supply pipe 3 when the hood is applied. The wall of this opening may in some instances have a flange or flanges 15 extending outward therefrom, as seen in Figures 2 and 3, and

between which the lateral portion of the supply pipe is received.

16 is the top portion. It is formed upon its underside at opposite edges with inturned portions 17 forming flanges which are cooperable with out-turned flanges 18 on op posite edges of the sides 8, as seen clearly in Figures 2 and 3. The top is provided at an end with a downwardly flected flange or the like 19, as seen in Figures 1, 3 and 4, which serves to shed any water that might otherwise tend to enter the hood or protector. I Y

Upon the outerface of the top is shown a rack or rest 20 for holding any tool or other object that may be desired, being provided with the upstanding portion 21 which may be serrated as seen in Figures 2 and 3, to

better hold the tools.

Inuse the top ineniber l6 is; removed from the hood. The hood'is thenplaced about the burner and then the top portion 16 is' relative arrangement of parts may here-- sorted to wlthout departlng from the spirit of the lnvention or sacrificing any of lts advantages.

that is claimed as new is:

1.; A protecting .hood- 'for gasolineitorohes, etc., embodying a bo dy portion applicable to the burner and surrounding the flame tube thereof and having a removable top adaptedto be, seen-red to the body portion after the latter has been applied to the torch. V

i 2. A protecting hood for gasoline torches, ,etc., comprising two separable inei nbers, one, appl cable to the burner and ;the other having slidable; engagement ,with; i the first member to retain the-hood about the burner.-

v 3. protectingfhood for gasoline torches, ,etc., comprising a substantially rect-angu lar' bod-y portion to embrace the flame-tube of the burner andj'having provision for the admission of air, anda detachable topmeinber serving to hold the bod-y po rtionin 'position when appliedx.

4; A protecting hood for gasoline torches, etc. comprising a substantially rectangala-r body porti'onfto embrace the burner and having provision {for the adrnission of air, and a "detachable? top. nieinbe zserving to hold the body portion in position when applied, said top member having interlocking engagement with-said top. 7

5. A protecting hood for gasoline torches, etc. comprising-a body portion with sides having flanges at their upper ends, and a sliding toplraving side flanges cooperable with the first named flanges. I
