will be concentrated to any point desired and
which can be securely held on the vaporizing-
coil and yet very easily detached therefi om
when desired.
5 It should be noted that the ribs increase in
width from their upper to their lower ends, so
t hat they contact with the coil the full length
of the same, and that the hood extends some
distance beyond the lower end of the coil and
10 forms a very hot furnace when the device is
used.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-
ters Patent, is-
15 I. The combination in a cactus-burner,
with the coil and the angular arm adapted
for connection with a fuel-supply, of the hood
of sheet metal, the said hood being of tubular
and tapering form and provided with a longi-
20 tudinal recess in its upper end, longitudinally-
extending ribs secured to the inside of said
hood, the said ribs being angular in cross-
section whereby one side thereof extends out-
wardly from said inner wall to hold the coil
25 spaced from the hood, which latter has its
angular arm extending out through the recess
in the hood, guide-plates secured to said hood
along the sides of said recess, and a closure
for the recess, said closure being adapted toslide between said plates and close the same 30
on the arm, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a cactus - burner, the combination
with the coil consisting of the coil proper hav-
ing an upward extension from its lower end
extending close along the coil and terminat- 35
ing in an outwardly-bent arm at its upper
end, and the upper end of the coil being
formed with a gooseneck terminating in a
burner, of a hood of tubular and tapering-
form having a recess in its upper end through 40
which the arm of the coil is inserted and with
a tapering bulge leading from said recess
whereby to accommodate the upward exten-
sion of the coil, the recess being of such
depth that the burner will come about the 45
upper end of the hood when the arm reaches
the lower edge of the recess, angular ribs se-
cured to the inside of the hood and extend-
ing longitudinally of the hood the length of
the coil, the said ribs holding the coil away 50
fi omn the walls of hood, and a closure for said
recess whereby to close the latter over the
arm, as and for the purpose set forth.
