We ALFRED VON NEUFVILLE, and GUSTAV WARNECKE, both of Frankfort of
Main in the Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to bundles or packages of fuel, hereinafter termed
"cartridges," designed for use in small fire-places, but especially for use in the
cooking apparatus described in the specification filed with our application for
Letters Patent bearing the same date as the present application and numbered
3710/80.
A fuel cartridge constructed according to this invention consists of a casing of
wood or other combustible material over the two open ends of which are stretched
pieces of material permitting the air to pass through and serving as grates. If
for this purpose wire gauze is used at one open end, the latter forms in itself a
complete grate so that the grate of the apparatus described in the said specification
can be dispensed with.
Into the said casing is inserted a small cylinder of easily infammable material,
in which is placed a wick. The remaining space is filled with small pieces of
charcoal which are impregnated with saltpetre and mixed with a small quantity
of coal. With this construction a large quantity of heating power is contained in
a small space.
The said small cylinder is preferably made of paper which is coated with a
solution of collodion or any other resin in sulphuret of carbon.
By the use of a cylinder made of such material an instantaneous ignition of the
whole cartridge takes place.
The material used in the manufacture of the cartridges resists the influence of
the weather and especially moisture so that its inflammability is not affected by
the same.

We ALFRED VON NEUFVILLE, and GUSTAV WARNECKE, both of Frankfort o/
Main, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to bundles or packages of fuel, hereinafter termed
"cartridges" designed for use in small fire-places, but especially for use in the
cooking apparatus described in the specification accompanying the application for
Letters Patent No. 3710 of the present year. :
As shown in the accompanying drawing a fuel cartridge constructed according
to this invention consists of a casing h of wood or other combustible material over
the two open ends of which are stretched pieces of material permitting the air to
pass through and serving as grates. If for this purpose wire gauze is used at one
open end, the said gauze forms in itself a complete grate so that the grate of the
apparatus described in the said specification can be dispensed with.
Into the said casing is inserted a small cylinder c of easily inflammable material
in which is placed a wick d, serving as a fuse. The remaining space > is filled
with small pieces of charcoal which are impregnated with saltpetre and mixed
with a small quantity of good coal or with any other suitable fuel.
With this construction a large quantity of heating power is contained in a
small space.
The small cylinder c is preferably made of paper coated with a solution of
collodion or any other resin in sulphuret of carbon. By the use of such a cylinder
an instantaneous ignition of the whole cartridge will take place and the material
used in its manufacture resists the influence of the weather and especially moisture
so that its inflammability is not disadvantageously affected by the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that we
claim is:-
A fuel cartridge consisting of a cylindrical or other casing of wood or other
combustible substance, the two ends of which casing are covered with wire gauze
or like material permitting the passage of air, the said casing containing a fuse for
igniting the fuel while the remaining space is filled with small pieces of coal, wood,
or other easily combustible material.
