" FYIRE-KINDLE'R.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 31,1906. Serial No. 309,178.
Patented April 9, 1907.
To all whom it may colwern:
Be it known that I, JAMES H. MCDONOUGH,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Watertown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-rKindlers, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to fire-kindle r s; and
the object of my invention is to produce a fire-kindler which shall be more efficient and economical than those heretofore suggested.
In the drawin which accompanies and forms a part of this specification the figure shows a perspective yiew of one of the many possible embodiments of 'my invention, although it is to be understood that Iido not limit myself to the particular form shown, in.
asmuch as many .modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention.
In the figure, A represents a box or carton of any suitable material, such as paper, and, as shown, said box may be, and preferably is, provided with a series of ventilating holes -or perforations B near the top of oneor' more.
of the sides thereof. The" box .A may be filled with pieces of charcoal or coke C-of suitable size or with a mixture of charcoal and coke, or a layer ofWood-shavings, excelsior, small pieces of wood, or other suitable easily-ignitible material D may be placed upon the bottom of the box andcharcoal,
the two superimposed coke, or a mixture of upon the materialD. I The box A preferably is made substantially rectangular in shape and of a sizeto conform to the general shape of the usual cooking-stove grate.
In-using the fire-kindleriabove described a quantity of aper orother inflammable material may st be placed on the grate and I ignited, and then the fire-kindler may be plpiced on such burning material. If the firedler is constructed by employing the above-described layer D ofwood-shavings, &c., the latter is quickly ignited by the aforesaid burning material in the grate and causes "the combustion of the charcoal or coke However, it is layerD'ofkin g the combustion o in the grate readily causes the combustion-of" superimposed upon the same in the box A. ossible to omit the aforesaid material, and in such case the charcoal or coke in'the box A. I In any event when the 'charcoal orcoke is ignited j the grate maybe filledwith coal or-other the inflammable material 1 fuel and ignited by the burning charcoal or coke of the fire-kindler.
The object of the ventilating-apertures B i is to produce a draftthrough the fire-kindler, and thereby permit more rapid combustion of the material therein than would. otherwise be possible and also to aiford a vent for the gases of combustion, which, if confined, would burst the carton A tents thereof. j o
By employing a receptacle the walls of which are solid except near thetop thereof, where they are provided with a series of ventilating-apertures, so that thereby the receptacle is ventilated only near the top thereof, I am enabled to retain within the receptacle a mass of kindling material ofsuch size and ualityas could not be retained therein if t e walls of the receptacle were perforated throu hout their entire extent. This is esecialIy true when charcoal is employed as a indling material, because in such case I am enabled by the construction herein described touse as a kindling material that quality of charcoal which always accompanies large masses of charcoal and Which s m such a be empl yed.
