Application led April 27,1820, Serial No. 3775109.
Be it known that l, LAWRENCE R. HOWARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chandler', in the county of Maricopa kand State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in iliicks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to tubular wicks such Vas are used in connection with oil stoves for cooking purposes `and it aims to provide a suitable top for the wick which may be removed when burnt out and replaced by a new top. c
A further object is to eliminate the nrecessity forreplacing the wick as a whole when the exposed portionl requires renewal and it accomplishes this by the provision' of `a separable and renewable wicky top to the wick carrier.`
A further obje-vtcontemplated by the which may be easily and readily attached provision of this invention is to remove the disagreeable features associated with the task of removing an oil soaked wick when replacing it by a new one by the simple eX- pedient of doing away with the necessity of removing the wick at all, it being possible by means of the improved wick forming the embodiment of this invention to leave the wick in the oil while fitting it with a new wick top or burner portion.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention may be said generally to resid-e in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter pointed out, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a side eevation of an improved wick constructed in accordance with the invention Figure 2 is a vertical through the wick.
Figure 3 is a section taken on a horizontal plane through the wick carrier and the removable top.
Figure 4 is a bottom plan of the removable top and Figure 5 is a fragmentary, sectional view disclosing the manner of connecting the top to the carrier.
Referring now to the severalv views in the drawings, the numeral l indicates a wick of a character usually employed for burners of this type and as shown is of tubular form central section split adjacent its lower end. to permit the Renewed June 21, 1923.
wick to spread out at its bottom when inserted in the reservoir or `oil font of the stove with which the wick is` used. Embrac-r ing the outside adjacent its upper portion is a metallic carrier 2 which may be riveted or otherwise fastened to the' wick in anyy desirable manner; This carrier is lprovided with a plurality of openings into which the teethrof the wick raiser are adapted to engage for the purpose of raising or lowering the wick upon theV wick tube of the oil reservoir. @rdinarily 'the' wick will project slichtlyabove the carrier to provide an eX- posedportion for lighting purposes, the oil beingl absorbed by the wick and conducted to the exposed portion by capillary attraction. 'In the 'presentinvention however, the top ofthe wick is adapted to be cut even withthe top edgerof the carrier to provide aneven surface for a purpose to be hereinafter pointed'out.v i lr `The removable topY for the wick comprises an annular band 4: which is adapted to Yslidably tit 'over the upper edge ofthe wick carrier 3 as Shown to advantage in Figure 2 of the drawings.
Spaced inwardly of this band and concentrically arranged with respect thereto is a second band or ring member 5 of narrow width which is adapted to be fastened to band by means of rivets-or bolts 6. Between this inner and outer band is arranged a short tubular wick element 7 which eX- tends slightly above the top of the member 4 as shown.. This wick 7 is adapt-ed to provide a continuation of the lower wick l and forms the top orvburning portion for the wick. The lower end of top wick 7 which lies flush with the lower edge of the ring member 5, terminates inwardly of the open end 8 of the removable top so that when the latter is slipped onto the end of the wick carrier 3, the meeting edges of the upper and lower wick members will be su'b-V` stantially enclosedY by the surrounding band 4.` At suitable points the lower end 8 of the band is provided with inwardly depressed portions forming knobs 9 adapted for sliding engagement with the locking kgroove l() opening inwardly from the upper edge of the wick carrier 2. It will thus be seen that after the removable top has been slipped over the end of the wick carrier so that the knobs 9 pass downwardly in the vertically disposed branch of the angle slot l a turning of the top to one side will cause the knobs to move in the ri ght angular substituted therefor.
branches ofthe groove as shown to advantage in Figure l of the drawings, whereby the top will be removably locked in place upon the carrier.
In operation, this wick could be used in the same places and for the same purposes for which similar wicks of this character are used, the improvement consisting in the fact that the wick may 'be provided with a new top whenever required, it beingmerely necessary toreinove the oldand used top byl turning theband to disengage the knob 9 frointhe locking slot thus permitting the top to be removed as al whole anda new one In this construction. attention is called to the fact 'that in a wick of thistype the removable top is entirely separate and vdistinct yfrom the wick l and the carrier so that theburner-may be said generally'to consist "of two vwick carriers .adaptedfto be connected so that their respec- "tive wicks meet to -join and provide a single continuous ywiclg'the upper-portion of which is replaceable. Itis thus possible' to provide two ormore removable wick tops which are interchangeable or vreplaceable whenever requiredthus enabling a, single bottom wick to last vfor a considerable period of time since it is only `the1upper or removable top wick that: is ignited and burned.
`Having thus described my inventionE what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. An article of manufacture comprising a bottom wick, a wick carrier comprising a tubular band therefor having locking slots, a burner wick, a band connected to the burner wick and depending therebelow, the said depending portion being adapted to embrace the upper edge ofthe said wick carrier and having projections formed therein for engaging the lockingslot of the latter.
2. An article of manufacture comprising a tubular bottom wick, a tubular wick carrier comprising a tubular band therefor having locking slots, a. burner wick. an annular band embracing the burner wick and depending therebelow, thefsaid depending` `portion being adapted to embrace the upper edge of the said wick carrier and having projections formed therein for engaging the locking slot of the latter, said tubular band extending well down over the top` offthe bottom wick and being yprovided 'with a multiplicity of perforations therein, and a second band bowed inwardly of the tubular wick and connected therethrough to thc other or outer band.
"In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
