Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a small apparatus which may be conveniently carried in
the pocket and used with spirits for the purpose of heating curling-irons and
the like.
I construct the stove mainly of two parts which telescope into each other, each.
part having one of its ends closed and I prefer to make these parts each in one
piece by stamping them up in metal. Upon the smaller of the parts I make a
lateral slit at a convenient position. This slit or opening is used at the burning-
point, and I further make two holes in the sides of the small part to receive the
ends of a wire rest which is shaped to receive the tongs when in use-the rest is.
free to move in these holes. I further indent or recess the sides of the small part
so that the wire rest when closed up does not interfere with the proper closing of the
stove. I partially fill the smaller part with cotton or other suitable substance for
a wick and I thoroughly wet the same with spirit raise the rest and place the two
parts together, the rest is then held sufficiently rigid to bear the weight of the
tongs-the smaller part forms a stove and the larger part forms a case for the
same.

Engineer 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 a small apparatus which may be conveniently carried in
the pocket and used with spirit or other suitable substance for the purpose of
heating curling irons or tongs and the like.
I construct the stove mainly of two parts which telescope into each other each
part having one of its ends closed and I prefer to make each of these parts in one
piece by stamping them up in metal. Upon the smaller of these parts I make a
lateral slit or opening at a convenient position as at E. Fig. 1. This slit is used as
the burning point, and 1 further make two holes in the side of the smaller part to
receive the ends of a wire rest which is shaped to receive the tongs as D when in
use the wire rest is free to move in these holes. I further make an indentation or
recess on the sides of the small part as at the dotted lines so that the wire rest
when closed up does not intefere with the proper closing of the stove-part of it
entering into the recess (when shut down) the requisite amount of spring in the
wire for this purpose being obtained by fitting the rest somewhat tightly into its.

other suitable substance as a wick, and I thoroughly wet or moisten the same with
methylated spirit or other suitable burning or heating substance placed into position
as shewn in fig. and then ignited, the curling irons or tongs being placed lengthwise
over the stove resting upon the wire rest which is sufficiently rigid to bear the
weight of the tongs, the rest being prevented from falling one way by the small
lever or guard on the end, or continuation, of the wire touching the upper part of
the inside of the stove, and upon the other, by the other part of the stove abutting
upon it for convenience in use or carriage, the small part is made to form the stove
and the large part to form the case. I prefer to fit one end of the stove with an
end having one or more of its edges on the straight so as to steady the stove when
in use.
