ALLlYHOh-[ITKMAY CONCFRN: I v Be it known that I, D. L. EMERSON, of the city of Rockford, in the county of Winnebago, and State-of Illinois, have invented a new and useful' Improvement in Petroleum vor GasfStoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and enact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing,vforn1ing part of this specification', in the several iigures of which similar characters of reference denote the saine part. In the drawin'g-- Figure lis a.V side elevation of a common cookingstove, with the devices for burning petroleum, gas, or otherlhurning-iluids, in position for use. i

Figurei ,'s a plan view of the top of the stove, also the conducting-pipes and burners.

My invention has reference to the application of devices for using, in the common cooking-stove, petroleum, gas, or other burning-duide, and consists cf certain combinations of devices hereinafter to be set forth.

In the drawing, A is the cooking-stove, of any approved pattern, upon which are placed vthe conductingpipes B' B,- whieh, for convenience of putting on and removing, are placed about the top ofvthe stove, as shown in iig. 2. From these pipes@ B the burners E E F F', one for each of the eookingopenings of the stove, er B0 mimi .11S may be desired, conduct the fluid to the place of burning, each burner being supplied with a stopcoclr for admitting and shuttingoii the fluid. The lujid is suppliedv frein the reservoir D,.which may be placed in any convenient position above the stove, so that the fluid may be "brought to the pipes B B. The oval or conica1-shaped diskH is placed stationary underA the pipe B, and directly over the burner. The objectof placing' this disk over the burner is Ato spread, and to a certain extent arrest, the passage of the dame, so as` to Iinsu're the complete combustion of the gas. This disk also serves to protect the conducting-pipe from the too A severe action of the ame. Some of 'the advantages of the oval or conical disk over the fiat disk heretofore l.used are, that the ame can be spread just enoughto insure perfect combustion, and at the same time be brought directly against the bottom of the cooking-vessel, instead of being wasted on' the cast ring surrounding the'ame, si when the at disk is used. .This shape of the disk also allows the opening of the burner to be seen and cleaned whennecessary, without removing'. the disk, which cannot be done when the at disk is used. The space over the o ven is generally too shallow to admit the placing of the burners E E low enough to he out ofthe way of the cooking-utensils, to obviate which diiculty the elevated rim K is placed about said holes, having in it holes for the cooking-utensils, so that they may be the right height over the burners E E. The burners l vFJ!" are placed in the fire-box of the common stove, the conducting-pipe being bent so as to he out of`the way of the cooking-vcssels, as shown in figs. 1 and 6. Forthe purpose of conveniently putting on and removing the burners F F', the notch or slot S is made in the stove-plate surrounding the cooking-opening, in which the pipe enters, being bent so as to bo out of the way of the cooking-utensils.

It will be seen at the only change inode in the common cooking-stove to adapt it to the use of petroleum, gas, Aor other burning-fluids, upon this plan, is to cut the notch or slot S, as described, and put in positionthe reservoir D, conducting-pipes B B, withsuch burners as may be desired. When it is desired to use Weed Aor coal in the stove without removing the petroleum-fixtures, the burners F F are turned on their hinge out of the {ire-boxl of the stove, as indicated by the dotted lines in fig. 1, when wood or coal may be used alternately with petroleum inthe burners E E', or both may be used at the same time. i

Instead of the slot S'for putting in the pipes B B, as already described, the pipes may be inserted in holes drilled in the top or sides of thestove, or, in new stoves, the slot-inlay be left forinsertilg said pipes and burners, but theplate shown is deemed best for cheapness and convenience.

The stopplc T is made to close the notch S, when the pipe B is not in said slot, that the draught of the stove may not be injured thereby.

"The lamp L is placed on the reservoir D, for the convenience of having it always lled and ready for .we

whenever the reservoir is filled; and its colnveniencein being'always redy for use, and in a, safe position, added to the excellece of the light obtained from'the uids we use, make it a 'ery desirable addition to n; petrole-umstove. V f l Having thus described my invention, what I claim, nd desire `to secure by Letters Patent, i-' [The oil-feservoirD and lamp L, (as one vessel,)in combination with the tubes B B, and burners E E and -F F/,co-nstructed as described, undv operating as and for the purposes seit forth. v
