DEVICE FOR HEATING SOLDERING-IRONS, LEAD-MELTING POTS, 8L0.

SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,310, dated July 2, 1889.

Application filed May 4, 1888. Serial No. 272,762. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN N. SANGER, a resident of the city of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have invented an Improved Device for Heating Soldering-Irons, Lead-Meltin g Pots, &c., of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved device for heating soldering-irons, lead-melting pots, &c.

The invention consistsin the details of improvement and the combinations of parts, that will be more fully hereinafter set forth.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of aheating device embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section 0n the line 0 c, Fig. 1, showing a soldering-iron in position. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section of the tool-support, shown inverted and holding a lead-pot Fig. 4. is a top view of the gas-distributing plate that fits on the gas and air supply pipe, and Fig. 5 is a vertical cross-section of the same and its gas-pipe.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A represents a plate that preferably has a number of openings for the passage of air. The plate A is adapted to be placed on a workbench d, over an opening therein, and it is provided with lugs b, that pass into the bench to to prevent its turning; or the plate A may be otherwise held. The plate A is provided at its center with air aperture (1, having internal screw-thread. A gas and air pipe B, having external screw-thread, passes through said aperture (1, its thread meshing with the thread in said aperture. At its lower end the pipe B is provided with an air bulb or chamber f, that has a number of openings for the admission of air, as shown. A gas-supply nipple g enters this chamber f to deliver gas. This nipple g or its gas-supply pipe may have a suitable cock h to regulate the supply of gas. Air from the chamber f and the gas from the pipe g enter the pipe B and mingle therein, so as to burn at the upper end of said pipe in a blue flame. WVhen used to heat a soldering-iron D, I prefer to distribute the flame, and for this purpose I place a plate 2' over the end of the pipe B, and at a little distance therefrom. This plated is supported by arms j, that project from an internallythreaded ring or nut Z, that fits on the end of the pipe B, as clearly shown in 5. The plate t' forms a convenient burner, and when the mixture of gas and air from the pipe B strikes the plate 2' it is deflected and passes outward from between the top of the pipe and the plate, and burns in a ring around said plate.

E is a stove and support for the solderingiron or lead-pot, and is in the form of a jacket or heat-retainer. The stove E is open at the bottom and is adapted to rest on the plate A, the pipe B passing within the same, as shown in Fig. 2.

The stove E is substantially dome-shaped at one end, and is provided with an internal perforated partition m, that is above the pipe B, as in Fig. 2. The stove E has an opening a at its upper end to permit the escape of the products of combustion from the burner. The opening a also serves to permit the passage of the pipe B, as hereinafter shown. Air enters through the plate A, to support oombustion of the. gas-mixture.

Above the perforated partition m the stove E is provided with an opening a in the side, to permit the passage of a soldering-iron D or other tool to be heated.

The soldering-iron enters through the opening a and rests near one end on the partition on, while its handle rests on a rail 'n, that is supported on the outside of the stove E. This rail n is the outer edge of a cup or receptacle 0, that is carried on the stove E, as in Figs. 1 and 2. Tin or solder may be kept in this cup 0.

The stove E is or may be provided with a suitable handle 9.

When it is desired to heat the solderingiron D or other tool, the stove E is placed on the plate A and over the pipe B, in the posi tion shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The gas is then lighted, and if the flame is too near or far from the iron D the pipe B may be lowered or raised by turning same, its thread causing it to descend through the plate A the desired distance; or, if preferred, the plate A may be turned to cause it to move the pipe up or down. When it is desired to melt lead 01; the like, the stove E is reversed, as shown in Fig. 3, the pipe B passing through the opening a in the dome, as shown. Air enters to support combustion through the opening a or around the pipe B. The lead-pot F is then placed in the top of the stove E, the projections b on the pot F resting on the stove E; or the pot may be otherwise supported, either on a contraction of the stove E or on the par-' tition m. For heating this pot F, I may remove the plate 11 and permit the direct flame from the open end of the pipe B to strike the pot F and spread around the same.

This device will be easily managed, is simple and effective in its operation, and not easy to get out of order. The heat from the flame is retained within the stove to a great extent, thereby adding to the effectiveness of the device.

Havin now described my invention, What I claim isa 1. The stove E, having openings at both ends that are larger than the gas-supply pipe, internal perforated plate m, side opening a above said plate, and external cup 0, having raised ledge 02, that acts as a tool-rest, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination of the plate A, having the internally-screw-threaded collar (Z,with the externally-screW-thread ed pipe B fitting said collar, the reversible stove E, open at both ends, one end being adapted to rest on the late A, the opening in the opposite end being larger than the pipe B, said stove having the internal perforated plate m and the opening a whereby the stove may be used either as a solder or soldering-iron heater, substan- WVitnesses:
