DINNER-Parr..
'Application filed July 21, 1916.
'invention being to provide a dinner pail with means whereby the contents of the pail mayA be readily heated, thus enabling the 4 user of the pail to enjoy hot food, and hot coffee, soup, or the like and at very slight trouble and expense.
The invention consists in the features of construction, combination, and arrangement l of devices, hereinafter fully described and claimed. y
In the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a vertical, longitudinal sectional view of a dinner pail constructed in laccordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the lower portion of the pail on the line 2 2.
The dinner pail as herein shown is formed with an upright wall l preferably oval in contour and beaded at its upper and lower edges and rigidly secured within the same is an imperforate partition 3 extending completely across the body of the pail and dividing it 'into an upper or food compartment and a lower or heating compartment which is entirely distinct from the food compartment and separated therefrom'nly by the partition. The latterl is relativ`el-y'7- so high from the lower end of\,tlie wall that there is produced wide chine# around the heatl ing compartment, and within this chine is fixed a false bottom 2 having at its center an opening around which is secured a depending screw ring or nipple 5. The heating element is a lamp- 6, preferably of that type which consumes alcohol and its' body is somewhat smaller than the opening and the nipple and normally closed at its top by a removable cap or snuer '7. The base -plate of said bodyis carried radially outward beyond its side wall for a short distance, and secured to the edge of said plate and rising therefrom is a screw ring or nipple 8 of a size to engage the threads lon' the depending screw ring or nipple 5 as shown. The length of the nipple is such that when the outer is run onto the inner until the upper edge Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 3, i917;
Serial No. 110,588.
of the outer nipple strikes the false bottom 2, the lamp body stands about half way above and half way below the line of said bottom, and somewhat above the line of the beading at the lower end of the chine 4; but it is obvious that by partly unscrewng the outer nipple from the inner, the lamp could be allowed to descend for quite a little dis'- tance before it is detached from the supporting nipple 5 entirely. Thus the connect1on permits a certain adjustability in the position of the lamp, with the result that its flame may be disposed adjacent to or remote from the partition 3 as desired. When the lamp and its nipple 8 are unscrewed the limit, the nipple is detached from the depending nipple 5 and the lamp entirely removed out of the pail, the latter being held suspended by its handle as will be clear. p'
The heating chamber is entirely beneath the partition 3, and for supplying air to support combustion I provide a pair of rather large rectangular openings l0 in the flat sides of the wall l-also I provide a number of smaller or Ventilating openings 11 in the chine at the upper part of the heating compartment or just beneath the partition their aggregate size being suicient to permit the products of combustion to escape without causing the lamp to smoke. The larger openings are also obviously useful for permitting the snuifer plate 7 to bc manually inserted and applied to the lamp when the latter is to be extinguished, or for permitting the operator to remove this plate `#and light the lamp when the lunch is to be heated. Also after the lamp is lighted by properly placing it on the ground the prevailing breeze may be permitted to blow into said openings 10 if it be gentle, or prevented from doing so if a high wind exists and the breeze might blow out the llame.
It will be understood, that coffee, soup, `or the like in the pail, may be readily heated to any desired degree by first charging the lamp with a small quantity of wood alcohol` or other alcohol, attaching the lamp to the false bottom of the pail andv then igniting the same.
The food compartment is provided with a removable pan 13 which is arranged therein at a suitable distance above the partition v 3 and the bead 14 at the upper edge of the wall of this pan bears on the bead at the roe upper edge of the Wall of the pail. I also provide a pan 1,5, which is of less depth than the pan 13 and which is detachably supported with its bead 16 bearing on the bead 14 of said pan 13; Food in the pans 13, 15 may also be heated at the same time as the y coffee or soup in the main portion of the pail. The usual ears 17 are attached to the ends of the pail, and a bail or handle 18 is pivotally connected to the ears. The
cover 2O is detachably fitted around the upper edgeof the pail and incloses the upper edges of the pans 13, 15, and is provided at its center with a raised circular portion 21, around Which is fitted a detachable cup 22.
By the use'of my improved dinner pail, a workman may readily provide himself with hot food at very little trouble, in a very short time and at very small expense. In practice, two tablespoons full of wood alcohol suices for fuel for heating the contents of the pail as thoroughly as may be desired. By the construction above described, it is obvious that the fuel, the products of combustion, and the smell oi. either if there should be any odor are kept entirely away from the food Within the yfood compartment, while cooking the Same or at other times, and the pans or other receptacles therein need, not be of any particular contour in orderlto be useful as cooking utensils, although I prefer to construct them as shown The herein described dinner pail AWhose body has an upright wall and is internally divided by a transverse -imperforate partition into a food compartment above and a heating compartment below said partition, a false bottom across the body beneath said partition and provided with a central opening, a threaded nipple depending from the bottom around said opening, a lamp body smaller than said opening, a threaded nipple rising from its base and of a size to screw around the depending threaded nipple, the walls of the body of the pail having oppositely disposed relatively large openings communicating with the heating compartment and a series of smaller openings communicating therewith at pointsjust beneath said partition; pans for use in the food compartment, and a 'removable cover. In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
