PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spirit Cooking Apparatus.
I, CHARLES HUELSER, of the firm of Huelser & Co., of Temple Chambers, in the
City of London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, a communication to me from abroad by Emil Otto, of Magdeburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to spirit cooking apparatus and has for its purpose to
provide an apparatus of this order in which the liquid fuel is always kept in a cool
state.
The improved apparatus is in the main constructed as follows:-
A water reservoir of suitable shape is surrounded about the middle with a hori-
zontally secured reservoir for the spirits, which communicates through a tube of
convenient material, terminating at its bottom with a fuel or burner vessel arranged
in the centre of the cooking vessel. The burner plate is rigidly connected by a
vertical bolt to the bottom of the cooking vessel so as to be stationary in its
position. The burner vessel is guided on said bolt by means of a tube or sleeve
centrally secured to its bottom and carrying a rack bar which gears into a toothed
wheel or pinion suitably connected with an outside handle so that the burner
can be raised and lowered by turning the handle to the right or left as the case
may be.
Around the inner side of the burner vessel is placed a wick which absorbs the
spirits entering into this vessel. The flame of the lighted saturated wick can now
be regulated by screwing or turning the burner vessel up or down. To extinguish
the flame, said vessel is so far lowered as to completely close the burner opening by
resting with its upper rim, which is correspondingly bent inside, upon the
stationary burner plate, thereby the burner vessel is sufficiently immersed in the
water of the main reservoir to cool the heated spirits and prevent the same from
evaporating.
The burner vessel contains secured to its bottom a suitable number of tubes
serving as guidings for an equal number of tubes for supplying air to the
flame.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spirit Cooking Apparatus.
I, CHARLES HUELSER, of the firm of Huelser & Co., of Temple Chambers,
London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, a communication to me from abroad by Emil Otto, of Magdeburg, in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to a spirit cooking apparatus, which is so disposed that the
spirits are constantly kent cool

page_text: From the outer reservoir a the liquid fuel passes through a hose or tube 6 into
the inner reservoir c. The burner plate e is rigidly connected by an upright bolt i
with the bottom of the water reservoir d and remains continually in its position.
The burner reservoir c is guided by a tube frigidly connected therewith and to
which is attached a rack bar g', geared with a pinion g. By turning the handle h¹
to the right or left, the burner vessel can be moved upward or downward. The
inner side of the burner vessel or shell c is lined with a wick k which absorbs the
spirits. The flame of the lighted wick saturated with spirits can be regulated by
screwing the burner reservoir c up or down as the case may be. When the
flame is intended to be put out, the burner reservoir c is turned down until it
completely closes with its upper rim the burner opening at the stationary plate e.
At the same time the burner reservoir e is immersed in the water contained in
the reservoir d, whereby the spirits that are contained in the burner reservoir
and have become warm, are cooled so that their evaporation is prevented. In
the bottom of the burner reservoir c are secured little tubes which serve to
receive the air induction tubes h fixed in the bottom of the water reservoir d, the
latter being displaced in the tubes when the flame is being regulated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
C
A spirit cooking apparatus characterised by a burner vessel e which is arranged
vertically adjustable on the central bolt i carrying the burner plate e for the
purpose of regulating the flame and the air tubes 1 of which are adapted to slide on
the induction tubes passing through the cooling vessel d, substantially as illus-
trated and described.
