Le Merveilleux

gasoline ? no, this is a kerosene stove (gaz de pétrole)
the patent certainly is french : « brevet « is a french word

 

No Michel, you don’t get my point… the French is clear to me

But, how to pre heat a kerosene stove with a match? For me is something very hard…

 

I assume the match is applied to the prime.

 

I searched for IT226533 patent, and US, GB, DE, CH, etc ....
nothing !!!

 

@Nicola Francesco Elia
the match seems not be to preheat the burner, just to light it.
If I understand well this is like a Petromax preheater.
The generator would eject a vaporized kerosene gas (even when cold) which instantly ignites.
If your french is good, have a look at the two patents text.

Oh ok, in that case, if there is a torch, then a match is necessary

I ignored the presence of a torch.

the torch is the generator

 

That's a very interesting stove! The burner assembly of the Record stove is the same as on the Le Merveilleux.

 

I can't wait to see it in operation
