page_text: This spirit container M is in the form of a tube of circular or other convenient
cross section which is at the top bent in longitudinally and has an aperture for
filling it capable of being closed by means of the screw plug M. If it be desired to
set the apparatus to work, the spirit receptaclo M must be brought into the position
shown in Figure 5. Then the cock T is opened by means of the handle T¹. The
spirit then flows through the tube N into tho burner G. In order to be able to
regulate the flow of the spirit, a seale V as shown in Figures 6 and 7. is placed on a
wing Vattached to the wall B, standing on the sole plate B, so that by the aid of
this scale the cock T can be opened as wide as may be necessary according to what
step of the burner the spirit is required to reach, In order to clearly read off the
scale, the handle T is provided with a pointer W which travels on the scale dial. To
extinguish the flame, the spirit holder M is again brought to its lowest position (see
Figures 1 and 2) and the cock T is fully opened. The spirit then immediately flows
back through the sloping channel & into the reservoir M, whereupon the flame
out for want of nourishment. The cock T is then again closed, and the screw nut M
is screwed down. The spirit is thus perfectly enclosed in the receptacle M, so that
no loss by evaporation can take place.

The regulation of the flow of the spirit from the reservoir M through the pipe N,
can also be brought about by opening the cock Tat once to its fullest extent, and then
by raising or lowering the reservoir accordingly. In this case however care must
be taken that by means of any suitable device the reservoir M remains in its proper
position. The flow can be further regulated by means of the admission of air to
the reservoir M. The cuck T is in this case also fully opened and the reservoir takes
the position shown in Figure 5, more or less spirit will flow according to whether the
screw is turned more or less. The regulation of the admission of air can also be
achieved by special automatic apparatus, if desired. The partition B' serves to protect
the spirit reservoir M from the heat of the burner G.
The mode of constructing the dish burner can be altered to correspond to the
various sizes in which the cooking apparatus is made.
When filled to the stop O, water may be slowly brought to the boil, and with all the
steps of the burner completely filled, in 15 minutes, 3 litres of water can be brought
to boiling point.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to mo
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
An adjustable spirit cooking apparatus, the burner G of which is provided with
steps O, P, R, and safety channels J in connection with an inclined supply pipe N, an
angular reservoir M movable at the joint U and a regulating cock T with pointer W
and scale V, for the purpose of regulating the flow of the spirit to the burner (by
means of raising and lowering the said reservoir M, or by means of other methods
such as those herein set forth) and of bringing back the superfluous spirit into the
reservoir M, as well as tho completo shutting off of the said reservoir from the
burner G and the surrounding air, in order to avoid any loss of spirit by extravagant
burning or by evaporation, substantially as described.
