Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Edwin Ambrose Brydges, of the Firm of Brydges and
Co., Engineers and Patent Solicitors, of 73, Koeniggraetzer Strasse, in the City
of Berlin and German Empire, for an Invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN
OIL OR HYDRO-CARRON GAS SOLDERING ADDADAT”

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edwin Ambrose Brydges
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 25th June 1881.
EDWIN AMBROSE BRYDGES, of the Firm of Brydges & Co., Engineers and
Patent Solicitors, of 73, Koeniggraetzer Strasse, in the City of Berlin and German
Empire. "IMPROVEMENTS IN OIL OR HYDRO-CARBON GAS SOLDERING APPARATUS."
A communication from F. Stoll, junior, of the City of Stuttgart, in the German
Empire.
This Invention relates to improvements in soldering apparatus, and relates
specially to such soldering apparatus whereby oil, petroleum, or other hydro-carbon
is employed as the heating agent.
In constructing the said improved soldering apparatus a reservoir or receptacle
for oil or hydro carbon, a metallic screw, a wooden handle, and a brass or other
suitable tube or pipe, which said tube is filled with cotton threads or other suitable
material is employed.
This said brass or other tube is provided with a regulator which is covered by a
perforated brass plate.
The apertures in a second tube, which is arranged next the soldering iron or the
copper bolt, serve as air channels."
The tube containing the regulator is threaded, and the second tube or piece of
piping screwed onto the same.
This said second tube is connected or attached to the soldering iron or bolt,
which is made in form of an ordinary hammer, or in any other suitable form.
The oil or hydro-carbon reservoir or vessel is provided with a suitable screw or
stopper.
If this improved soldering apparatus is to be put into operation the reservoir or
vessel is filled with a light or volatile hydro carbon or other suitable fluid, screwed
onto the brass or other tube, and this tube, as well as the entire foward end of the
apparatus warmed, so that hydro-carbonic gas is generated, which said gas will
continue to keep the iron or bolt warm as long as oil or hydro-carbon remains in
the reservoir or vessel.

an Order of the Lord Chancellor filed by the said Edwin Ambrose Brydges
in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 12th January 1882.
EDWIN AMBROSE BRYDGES, of the Firm of Brydges & Co., Engineers and
Patent Solicitors, of 73, Koniggraetzer Strasse, in the City of Berlin and German
Empire. "IMPROVEMENTS IN OIL OR HYDROCARBON GAS SOLDERING APPARATUS.”
A communication from F. Stoll, junior, of the City of Stuttgart, in the German
Empire.
This Invention relates to improvements in soldering apparatus, and more especially
to such soldering apparatus whereby oil, petroleum, or hydro-carbon is employed as
the heating agent.
The construction of the apparatus will be easily understood from the accom-
panying Drawings. Fig. 1 is a side clevation; Fig. 3, a vertical section. A is the
reservoir or receptacle for the oil or hydrocarbon; B, a metallic screw; C is a
wooden handle; and E, a brass or other suitable tube or pipe, which said tube or
This said brass or
pipe is filled with cotton threads or other suitable material K.
other tube is provided with a regulator F, which is covered by a perforated brass
plate L. The aperture N in a second tube G, which is arranged next the soldering
iron or the copper bolt, serve as air channels.
The tube containing the regulator is threaded at M, and the second tube or
piece of piping G screwed onto the same. This said second tube G is connected or
attached to the soldering iron or bolt H, which can be made in form of an ordinary
hammer, as shewn in Fig. 1, or straight, as shewn in Fig. 2, or in any other suitable
form. The oil or hydrocarbon reservoir or vessel is provided with a suitable screw
stopper, as shewn in Fig. 4.
If this improved soldering apparatus is to be put into operation the reservoir or
vessel A is filled with a light or volatile hydrocarbon or other suitable fluid I, and
screwed on to the brass or other tube E, and this tube, as well as the entire forward
end of the apparatus warmed, so that hydrocarbonic gas is generated, which said
gas will continue to keep the iron or bolt warm as long as oil or hydrocarbon
remains in the reservoir or vessel A. If the bolt or soldering iron H is removed
and replaced by a suitable mouth piece or nozzle the said apparatus can be employed
to great advantage as hot blast.
Having now described my said Invention, and the method of carrying the same
into effect, I desire it to be understood that the parts of my Invention can be
modified without departing from the tenor of my Invention, but what I claim
and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,―
1. A soldering apparatus, as shewn in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and provided with a
reservoir A, substantially as described in the foregoing Specification, and shewn in
the accompanying Drawings.
2. The combination of the tube E and second tube G with the air apertures N,
and forming a soldering apparatus, substantially as described in the foregoing
Specification, and shewn in the accompanying Drawings.
3. The regulator F and the perforated brass plate L, substantially as described in
the foregoing Specification, and shewn in the accompanying Drawings.
4. The arrangement, construction, and employment of the apparatus as blast

page_text: when the soldering iron or bolt H is removed, substantially as described in the
foregoing Specification, and shewn in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edwin Ambrose Brydges, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this First day of November, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
EDWIN A. BRYDGES. (L.S.)
