HEBSCHEL M. CONNOR, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR TO STANDARD LIGHT COMPANY,
OF SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE.
VAPOR-BURNER.
To all whom it may concern: I y
Be it known that I, HEnsoHEL M. CONNOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vaor-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to vapor burners for oil lamps and has for its object to provide a generator for lamps employing Welsbach or other incandescent mantles which will be simple in construction and more efficient in action than those heretofore pro-- osed.
\Vith this and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and combinations of parts more fully hereinafter disclosed and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referringto the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which like numerals designate like parts in all the views: Figure 1 is a plan view of an oil burning lamp made in accordance with this invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 4c is a side elevational view of a portion of the generator; and Fig. 5 is an end elevational view of the eccentrically mounted pin for moving the gen erator rod up and down.
1 indicates any suitable oil supply controlled by the valve stem 2 operated by the levers 3 and 4, 5 a passage for oil from the supply 1 to the generator nipple 6 to which is attached the generator pipe 7, supported by the sleeve or thimble 8 screwing into the frame-work 9, supported by the cylinder 10, carried by the globe-like member 11- of the lamp to which is attached the circular tube member 12, as well as the air conveying members 13 and 14, all as will be clear from the drawings.
The oil enters the nipple 6 through the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 2, 1917.
Application filed May 29, 1916. Serial No. 100,641.
the said mixed air and oil vapor will be ignited, and will continue to burn so long as vapor is supplied in the manner just described, all as will be clear from my former Patent No. 1,030,162, datedJune 18, 1912, and entitled vapor burners. heating of the said rod 23, so as to produce the above mentioned vapor,
through the opening 36 or by any other suitable and well known here to disclose.
Only a portion of the vapor generated is conducted into the heater larger proportion thereof is carried off by the pipes 37 and 38 joined to the globular member 11 and supporting the lamps 39 and 40 respectively, all as will be clear from my said patent above.
' As is well known, in many generators of this nature which have been heretofore proposed, it has been quite difficult to obtain an even supply of vapor and also it has likewise been difiicult to readily clean the small orifice such as 24, should it become clogged by reason of a carbon deposit or by reason of impurities carried by the oil. It is an important feature in this invention that both ofthese difiiculties are overcome. That is to say, owing to the rod 23 being heated'to a'substantially uniform temperature through the burning of the vapor in the heater 32 and owing to the tortuous passage through which the oil is compelled to pass the vapor is generated in uniform quantities in the said tube. 22, it may reach considerable pressure without stopping the downward flow of the oil, and therefore, a steady and sufficient volume of air and vapor is readily supplied to the pipes 37 and 38 for the lamps. In addition to the above, the rod 23 is provided with the small wire likemember 45 adapted to substantially fit theopening 24 and to pass entirely through the said opening when the said rod 23 is moved up and down. In order to facilitate the vertical movements of said rod, its upper end is provided with the transverse slot 46 into which fits the eccentrically mounted pin 47 carried by the enlarged head 48 of the rod 49 having the handle 50 or other operating means as shown. While the lamp is still burning andwithout disturbing the mechanism at all, the operator can at any time turn the handle 50 and thereby raise and lower the wire 45 through the opening 24 and thus maintain said opening always clear of obstruction. In addition to the above, the operator may by adjusting the said lever 50 cause the said rod 45 to partially obstruct the opening 24 and thus in a measure regulate the flow of vapor through said opening '24.
It is obvious that those skilled in the art The initial 7 is conveniently] accomplished by the introduction of a torch means not necessary...
