011. STOVE.

Application filed January This invention relates to oil stoves, and its objects are to provide a very simple, compact and inenoensive oil stove of the stand type that may be used "for cooking, the same being oi ithe class used for camping, pi'cniclrand other purposes where a light, cheap and readily portable stove-is desired; and to provide a novel construct-ion for a stove of the foregoing nature which, if desired, may be mane for convenient-assembling by the dealer or user without the use of tools, thus enabling the structure to be packed in dis-' assembled condition in compact form. for storage and shipment.

The foregoing objects, with others hereinafter appearing,are attained in the embodiments of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein Fig. 1 is a central-vertical section through the stove; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the'line 22 of 1 1 is a side elevation of a modified form of he invention, parts being shown in section to disclose certain structural details; and 5 is an inside elevational view of i one, of the legs of the latter form of. the invention.

A suitable number of legsl, three being at present preferred cOnnect top and bottom members or rings 2 and 3, respectively. I The legs are of channel formation, and the webs otthe channels-are spot welded or otherwise connected at top and bottom to the respective rings 2 and 8, said webs being beaded throughout the greater portion of thedistance between said rings, as shown at t. The top and bottom rings have flanges 5 and 6, respectively, against which the ends of the legs engage. The foregoing partsare all preferably made from sheet metal, the rings 2 and 3 being rolled from strips and held in annular form by their wider flanges being extended at one end beyond their-narrower flanges to provide tongues 2 and respectively, that are spot welded or. otherwise secured to the opposite ends of said wider flanges. Resting within the top ring 2 isa grid 6* for the support of a cooking utensil or other object to be heated. r p

A suitable distance upwardly from their lower ends, the side flanges of the legs 1 are widened, as shown at 7, and notched, as shown at 8 (Fig. 3) for the reception of a peripheral bead 10 that surrounds an annular oil reservoir 11 within the central open- 3 is a detail of one of the legs,

ing of which-is disposed an oil burner 12'. This burner is of the'tubular t pe and is comprised ofinner and outer tubes 13 and 1 1 which are connected together at their lower ends by a Wall 15, thereby to enclose an oil space 16 within which a cylindrical stitute no part of my presentinvention.

The collar 22 is connected to and spaced 2 from the upper end of the outer burner tube 14: by brackets 24, and fins .25 connect the ou'ner to the reservoir 11. Communication. is established between the reservoir and the lower portion of the oil space 16 through a pipe26. Surrounding the upper end of the burner and shown as supported thereabove by the lower end of the collar 22 is the usual burner drum or flue 27.

When it is desired to construct the stove in such manner that it may be packed or shipped in. disassembled condition for the sake of compactness and convenience of handling, the tops and. bottoms'of the legs '1 may be made to have an interlocking con nection with'the rings 2 and 3, and such a connection 1s illustrated in Fig. 4 where the webs of the legs are shown as having tongues struck from their upper and lower ends for engagement through slots in the top and bottom rings 2 and 3 the'tongues being preforabl turned over on the outer sides of the rings so as to better secure the parts together.'

In the present structure I have shown a further change which avoids having toiform the side flanges of the legs 1 with the enlarge- -ments 7. In the present instance short channel members 32 are fitted within the legs 1 and prongs 53 which project from the ends of the channel members are. inserted through slots in the webs of the legs and turned over therebeyond. The side flanges 3 1 of the channel members taper inwardly from their opposite ends to about the center where they are provided with notches 35 for the reception of the bead 10 of the reservoir 11; 7

It may be explained that the legs 1 are suiiiciently resilient to permit their being bowed outwardly and thus disengaged from the bead 10 of the reservoir 11, permitting the reservoir to be tilted and removed from the frame Structure. in cleaning the burner and especially in draining the reservoir. The cam shape given the flanges of the legs 1 in the vicinity of the notches 8, and the flanges 34 of the channel members 32 in the region of the notches 35, enable the reservoir to be easily inserted, as by engaging the bead 10, adjacent one side of the reservoir, in the notches of two of the legs, and then pressing the reservoir to a horizontal position durin which it Will cause a slight spreading of the legs until the bead 10 registers with the notches of the re maining leg upon the occurrence ofwhich the legs will spring inwardly and securely loci: the reservoir in place. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 4, the presence of the reservoir in the frame structure insures against inward movement of the legs and consequently against any possibility of the ends of the legs becoming disengaged from the top and bottom rings 2 and 3.

Having: thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A stove comprising a top member, a bottom member, legs having their upper and lower ends detachably connected to said members, and a burner structure supported solely by and between the legs and detachably connected thereto, said burner structure serving to maintain the legs in such position as to prevent their disconnection from the top and bottom members.

2. A stove structure comprising a top ring, a bottom ring adapted to rest on a sup porting surface, resilient legs having their upper and .lower ends disposed inside and bearing on said rings, the legs having in- This is an advantage wardly opening notches spaced a suitabledistance above the bottom ring, and a burner structure incorporating a reservoir havin a peripheral bead that is, engaged within the notches of the legs.

3. A stove structure comprising .a top ring, a bottom ring, resilient legs having 7 their upper and lower ends engaged within and interlocked with said rings, the legs having inwardly opening notches spaced a suitable distance above the bottom ring, and a burner structure incorporating a reservoir having a peripheral bead that is engaged within the notches of the legs, the burner structure serving to maintain the legs under tension.

4. A stove structure comprising a. top ring,

a bottom ring, legs spacing apart and connecting together said rings, the legs being or" channel formation and having notches in their side flanges that are spaced a suitable distance above the bottom; ring, the side flanges gradually flaring inwardly to where they are interrupted by said notches, and'a burner structure incorporating a reservoir having a peripheral bead that is adapted to be engaged within said notches. 1

5. A stove comprising a top ring, a bottom ring, legs spacing apart and connecting together rings, the ends of the legs having interlocking connection with the rings, chan- MARC arisen.
