OIL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 453,853, dated June 9, 1891.

Application filed December 22, 1890. Serial No. 375,514. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES II. BoEcK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jackson, county of Jackson, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Oil-Stoves; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same by a vertical plane.

My invention has relation to the construction of oil-stoves designed more particularly for heating purposes; and it consists in a construction which shall render convenient access to the burner for lighting, trimming, and extinguishing, and for the ready cleansing of the micas and the drum, if necessary.

My invention consists more particularly in suspending the drum-section and mica-section from above with a counter-poise canopyform weight, which, as the drum is lifted, descends within its top, thus giving access to the burner; also, in the provision in connection therewith of a removable beveled section beneath the mica-section, whereby access may be had to the air-passage next adjacent to the oil-tank and which admits air closely up to the mica faces; also,in the pro vision beneath this removable section of a third removable section, which constitutes the cover of the base of the stove, and to which the oil-tank, with the lamp-fixtures and burner, are connected, whereby the said top, with the said fixtures, maybe lifted out from the base-section of the stove, thus obviating the handling of the heavy casting at the base of the stove and also enabling ready access to be had to the lamp and oil'tank whenever it may be necessary to lift them out for the purpose of cleaning or repairing or for any other purpose.

In carrying out my invention, Arepresents the base-section of the stove. B is its top section or cover fitted loosely thereon.

O is the oil-tank fastened by any suitable bolts 0 or other fastenings to the cover 13.

D is the wick-tube of the burner, connected tube, deflected inwardly close against the' flame from the wick, so as to furnish at this point the requisite oxygen to produce proper combustion.

6, connected with F, is a similar outwardlyflared deflecting-plate at the top of the passage 6 whereby the volume of air rising through this passage will be deflected outwardly contiguous to the micas, thereby affording any extra supply of oxygen that may be necessary to eifect thorough combustion above the wick, and at the same time to deflect anysmoke that may be generated away from the micas, and so avoid sinudgin g or blackening the same.

6 represents a central air-passage along the axis of the cylindrical wick for alfording the supply of oxygen to the interior of the flame, and c is the usual deflector for directing this inner air outwardly against the flame from the wick.

I would have it understood that I do not necessarilylimit myself to this particular construction of lamp, for myinvention is equally applicable to any other form of lamp which may be employed at the base of the stove.

F represents a removable section, which I term the fire-pot section. It rests loosely at its base upon the top B.

G is a dome-shaped mica-section resting loosely upon the upper edge of the fire-pot section F. This mica section is rigidly c011- nected with the drum H. At the top of this drum are counterpoise chains or cables J, 9

which pass over suitable pulleys J and have a weight J 2 suspended at their free ends. This weight is preferably formed in the nature of a canopy to give aproper finish to the top of the stove. It is designed to pass down into the drum as the drum is raised.

K is an ornamental frame-work for sustaining the pulleys, and is attached in any convenient way as, for instance, by brackets K to the base-section of the stove.

The operation of this device is as follows:

lVhen it is desired to light or to trim the lamp, the drum is lifted and is counterpoiscd and held in place by the weight J which descends within its top. The drum lifts with it the mica section G, and it can be then swungout and access be had beneath to wipe and cleanse the micas, or, if need be, the interror of the drum. The section F, which preferably carries with it the deflector e, may be then lifted free from the stove, which directly exposes the top of the wick-tube for trimming or evening. Then the top B of the base-section maybe lifted out and with it the oil-tank and the entire lamp and burners for the purpose of filling, cleansing, or repairing and without the necessity of handling the heavy base-section. It will be observed that this construction not only forms a very c011- venient one by reason of the direct access 'it afl'ords to all parts of the lamp, but the oiltank is so located as to be kept cool, being thoroughly isolated from the heated portions of the stove and from direct radiation from the wick or burners and protected by the draft of cold air all about the same.

I do not illustrate any wick-raiser. The same forms no part of my invention, and any wick-raiser may be employed.

What I claim is- 1. An oil-stove provided with a base-section A, having a removable top B, with the oil-tank and lamp fastened beneath the said removable top and removable therewith from the base-section, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The combination, with the base-section having the removable top, with the oil-tank and lamp fixtures secured beneath the same, of the fire-pot section F, resting upon the upper edge of the same, substantially as and for the purposes described.

3. The combination, with the stationary stove-base A, the top section B, the wick-tube D, and the oil-tank O, of a stationary framework K, supported by the stove-base and having cable-pulleys J the vertically-movable drum H, the cables J, connected with the drum and engaging the cable-pulleys, and the weight J suspended by the cables and descending inside the drum when the latter is elevated, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with the stationary stove-base and the burner, of a stationary frame-Work K, attached to and sustained by the stove-base and provided with cable-pulleys J, the vertically-movable drum H, the pulleys J, connected with the drum and engaging the cable-pulleys, and the weight J suspended by the pulleys and descending inside the drum when the latter is elevated, substantially as described.

5. The combination, with the base A, having a removable top section B, and the oil tank 0 and wick-tube D, secured to the top section and removable therewith from the base, of a frame-work K, supported by the base and provided with cable-pulleys J, the vertically-movable drum II, the drum-supporting cables J, and the counterpoise-weight J substantially as described.

6. The combination, with the stationary stove-base A, the top section B, wick-tube D, and oil-tank C, of a stationary frame-work K, supported by the stove-base and having cable-supporting pulleys J, the verticallymovable drum H, carrying at its lower enda domeshaped mica-section G, the cables J, connected with the drum and engaging the cable-pulleys, and the weight J sustained by the pulleys and descending inside the drum when the latter is elevated, substantially as described.

'7. The combination, with the base-section A, having the removable top, the oil-tank and lamp secured beneath the removable top, and the fire-pot section F, carried by the remov able top, of the vertically-movable drum H, having the mica-section G at its lower end adapted to rest upon the upper end of the fire-pot section, and the cables connected with the drum and with a counterpoise-weight, substantially as described. 7

In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two Witnesses.

CHARLES H. BOEOK.
