Improvements in Fire Kindlers.
I HUGO OTTO SYLLWASSCHY of Kiol in the Empire of Germany Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to fire kindlers and it consists in certain improvements,
which have for their purpose to distribute the flame in a thorough and effectual manner
beneath a large surface of the fuel and to enable the kindler to be casily ignited.
The construction of the kindler, which is shown by the accompanying drawings is
as follows: Thin wooden sticks a a..... of about 1 cm in height and 1 c/m in
breadth are fixed by nails or suitable adhesive substance or otherwise to two parallel
sticks bb of similar dimensions, so that small intervals remain between the sticks a.
At the back part of the kindler a stick c running parallel to the sticks a is fastened
underneath the small sticks b, and a longer stick m is arranged beneath the sticks a
between the small sticks to project from the front of the kindler as shown.
C
The kindler is dipped in tar or other easily inflammable liquid and saturated
therewith.
The projecting end of the stick m is especially provided with a larger quantity of
inflamable material (for instance pitch) to render the ignition more certain.
In using the kindler it is placed into the fire grate of the boiler or other firo place,
so that the raised part is at the back. Then the fuel is heaped upon it, so that the
entire kindler is covered with the exception of the projecting stick m.
lighting takes place at the projecting part of the stick m, as shown in Fig. 1.
Then the
The fire quickly spreads along the stick m underneath the lighter, the construction
of which permits, as will be seen, that the air-current to reach the wood-grating from
underneath, from the front and from the sides, whilst the flames pass through the
openings between the sticks a.

Improvements in Fire Kindlers.
I HUGO OTTO SYLLWASSCHY of Kiel in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer 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 fire kindlers and it consists in certain improvements which
have for their purpose to distribute the flame in a thorough and effectual manner
beneath a large surface of the fuel and to enable the kindler to be easily ignited.
The construction of the kindler which is shown by the drawings filed with my pro-
visional specification is as follows. Thin wooden sticks a a of about 1 centimeter in
height and 1 centimeters in breadth are fixed by nails or suitable adhesive substance
or otherwise to two parallel sticks bb of similar dimensions so that small intervals
remain between the sticks a. At the back part of the kindler, a stick c running
parallel to the sticks a is fastened underneath the small sticks b, and a longer stick m
is arranged beneath the sticks a, between the small sticks bb to project from the front
of the kindler as shown.
The kindler is dipped in tar or other easily inflammable liquid and saturated there-
with. The projecting end of the stick m is especially provided with a larger quantity
of inflammable material (for instance pitch) to render the ignition more certain.

Then the
The fire quickly spreads along the stick m underneath the lighter, the construction
of which permits as will be seen that the air current to reach the wood grating from
underneath, from the front, and from the sides whilst the flames pass through the
openings between the sticks a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. A fire kindler consisting of the cross sticks a fastened at intervals on longitudinal
sticks and having a cross stick arranged at the back to ensure an inclination of
the fire kindler towards the front substantially as set forth.
2. The combination with said fire kindler of a stick m projecting in front and
arranged underneath the sticks a between the sticks to provide for the ignition of
the fire kindler substantially as set forth.
