LAM P-BURN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 664,742, dated Decemtr- 26, 1903.
Application tiled March 19, 1900. Serial No. 9,284. tNo model.:
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, .Tosi-IPH GREGORY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Lamp-Burner, of which the following is a specication.
My invention is an improved lamp-burner in which the center tube does not extend downward through the oil-chamber, but depends upon air drawn through ports above the oil to supply air to the inside of the flame.
Another feature of my present improvenient is a wick-carrier having a verticallymovable partition-plate transversely disposed A in the inner wick-tube, between the air-ports thereof.
Another feature of my invention is an improved center tube supplied with air drawn through ports located within the collar of the oil-chamber.
Another feature of my invention is the provision of improved means for preventing the heat from passing from the wick-tube into the oil.
With these and other ends in view my invention consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation, partly in section, of a lamp- Lburner embodying my improvements, the
wick-carrier being shown in an elevated position as when a wick is being fitted to the burner. Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the line c a: of Fig. l and showing the wick-raiser lowered. Fig. 3 is a detail View of the wick-carrier as existing when blanked from sheet metal and before being bent and shaped to tit upon the center tube. Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse sectional view of a modified form of my lamp-burner adapted for small glass lamps in which the air-ports are located above the oil-chamber. Fig. 5 is a detail horizontal sectional view of a modified form of my invention in which the lateral air-ports extending from the center tube are provided with horizontal Wings adapted to be fastened to the body of the air-distributer and support the center tube in place. Fig. 6 is a detail view of a modified construction of the lamp-collar.
The wick-carrier 30 is blanked or struck t the two sections c thereof.
from sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 3, preferably in one piece, bent on the lines ct and curved to fit the outside of the center tube 6l and adapted to slide vertically thereon. The wick-carrier has its connecting portion left straight, forming the bridge 10, which unites The wick-carrier is applied to the center tube 6 from the lower end of the latter, the bridge l0 extending transversely across the center tube and adapted to travel in vertical slots l'o ,with which the center tube is provided, said slots extending to within a suitable distance of the upper end of the center tube and having their lower ends open, as shown in Figs. l and 4. The wick-carrier is actuated to raise and lower the wick by a button on the outer end of the shaft l5, which extends through a tube 17, fastened in the upper part of an air-port 7, and on the innerend of said shaft is a pinion 16, which,when the wick-carrier is shipped into position on the center tube, engages a rack-bar 9, with which said wick-carrier is provided. The rack-bar may be struck up from a blank in one piece and isfolded upon itself vertically and has its edges laterally extended, thereby forming a partition V8, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4:, said partition extending transversely across the center tube 6. The partition 8 and rack-bar 9 being fastened together and the partition 8 fastened to the bridge lO of the wick-carrier within the center tube, as shown, it is obvious that when a rotary motion is imparted to the shaft and pinion by means of the button vertical motion is imparted to the rack-bar 9, partition 8, and wick-carrier, causing them to move vertically together. The partition serves the double purpose of bracing and guiding the rack-bar and stopping or preventing the air from rushing in from opposite directions through the air-port 7 and of causing the air inducted through said ports to be deected and caused to pass upward to the flame.
I am aware that it has been heretofore proposed to provide a center vtube witha stationary partition located between the airports, and this I disclaim. I am also aware that it has been heretofore proposed to employ a wick-carrier having teeth which are normally projected outward into engagement with the wick by riding on the center tube, and this also broadly I disclaim; but owing IOO toy the limited space such a wick-carrier has l and the ring l2. HenceA the. lower portion of never heretofore been adapted to a center tube having air-ports, and the same constitutes an import-ant feature of my invention, as hereinafter specifically claimed.
The wick-carrier is limited in its upward movement by the bridge coming in contact with the upper ends of slots 13 and in its downward movement by coming in contact with a stop 14 at the lower end of the center tube, this, stOp` being preferably formedl by forcing the metal outward at a suitable point on the lower end ofthe center tube. By springing the lower end of the center tube inward the wick-carrier may be slipped into position'on the center tube over the stop 14, the
; center tube after the wick-carrier clears said stop immediately springing ou-tward and bringing the stop in the path of the carrier, as" will be readily understood. The lower end of the center tube maybe closedjand slotted to receive. the rack-bar and partition in lamp-burners of large size; but this is not necessary in burners of small size. The airports '7 are ot' diamond shape, as shown in dotted lines inV Fig. 4 and as indicated in Fig. 1v by the shading, this form of the air-ports adapting my burner to employ the common form of cylindrical wick split upon opposite sides for a suitable distance from one end,
such a wick being adapted to open and pass around the ports and resume its cylindrical form below the ports, and thus avoidD the necessity of' mutilating the wick.
lnthe form of my burner illustrated in Fig. 1 the air-ports are provided with wings 29, turned back from their outer edges to guard the wick and preventthe same from spreading out and closing the air-space 20 between theouter edge ofl the air-port 7 and the airdistributer 1. In smallburners one such airport may be sufficient, while in. very large burners three of such ports may be required, and hence l vary the number of such air-ports and do not restrictmyself in this particular. The upper sides of the air-portsare fastened tothe under side of a ring` l2, which ring is fastened to the air-distributer l, as shown, whereby the center tube is supported concentrically within the air-distributer;
In themoditied form of my inven-tion shown in Fig. 5V the ring lz is omitted and wings 31 are made integral with the upper sides of the air-ports 7 and fastened tothe body of the lower air-distributer l and serve to holdA the center tube 6 in position. When the ring 12 is used, it serves to'slrengthen the burner.; but the said ring is not essential to the eliicient operation ol' the burner and may be entirely omitted, as herein indicated.
Tfhe outer wick-tube ls short as comparedwith the outer wick-tubes of existing lampburners of this class, andsaid tube is provided `at its lower end with an outwardlyturned horizontal flange 4, which rests upon the ring l2 and partially closes the annular openingrl8,which is between the center tube the wick, which. extends. below the said ring 12, is entirely uncovered to economize in the manufacture of my burner, and to facilitate the wicking I do not use au outer wick-tube below the upper end of the air-ports, nor do I restrict myself to its disuse, as it involves no invention to put in such tube. It will be observed that the upper section 2 of the airdistribute'r or outer casing of the burner is detachable from the lower section l thereof and that the said upper section 2 at its lower edge tits within the upper portion of the lower section 1 and bears upon the flange 4 of the wick-tube, as at 2% The air-distri-buter 2 and the flange 4 maybe made integrally and fastened to the lower end of outer wick-tube 5, as usual i-n center-d raft lamps. The chimney-holdersand'gallery andperfoiated` upper section Y of the galler f are supported' bythe air-distributer 2 and may be detached or secured thereto. By thisconstruction Lam enabled to remove the enti-re outer wick-tube inY order torfacilitatethe fitting of awick on the burner- The flange 4-at the lower end of'V the outer wick-tube 5- by-beingseated on the ring- 12 reduces the. large wick-space 18; to
vnormalsize above the airports-and1prevents the airfrom passing ffrontthe lowerai-'r-chamf ber 20, formedwithin the lowersectionoftheV air-distributer 1, upward into the upper ai-rchamber 2 l,which is formed'fwit-liin the upper section 2'of the air-distr-ibuter. In-the opera- IOO tion of wicking the lamp-burneror attaching Y ment with the wick. The outer wick-tube Y being then replaced, theoper-ation-off wicking the lamp is completed. Should it become=de sir-able to secure the. flange` 4- of the outer wick-tube tothe'l'ower side of. the upper-seciro I tion of.the-air-distributer, this may be readily j eeeted i-n the` manufacture of 'my lampburner, as is obvious. In practice I indthat the draft is much stronger onV the outside of the flame than it is on the inside, and' if'the space 18 around the wick were leftopenthe air entering the lower air-chamber 20 would be drawn up into the upper air-chainbei-:Ql to the detriment of the supply of air tothe inner side of the dame. It was to obviat-e this difficulty that I have so coustructed'my improved burner that this space isclosedIbetween the upper and lower sectionsof'the air-distributer at the upper sides of the'airports.
In lamp-burners heretofore constructed the wick-tubes extend-downward from the burners into the oil-chamber and in direct" contact' with the oil therein or connected'directly with the collar of the oil-chamber, and inasmuch as the wick-tubes become highly heated whenV the burners are in operation the heat is comin unica'ted from the llame to the oil through I the wick-tu bes, which are conductors of heat, and hence the temperature of the oil in the oilchamber is appreciably raised, and this heating of the oil is dangerous and at times results in explosion. In my improved lampburner the wick-tu bes do not come in contact with the oil, and that portion of the wick which depends below the outer wick-tube is in the air-chamber 20, intermediate of said outer wicl-tube and the oil-chamber, where it is kept cool by the currents of air which have gone inward through the perfor-ations in the side of the lower section l, and hence the oil in the oil-chamber is effectuall'y prevented from becoming heated.
In lamps of large size the air-distributer is detachably fastened to the collar 25 of the oil-chamber. In Fig. l this collar is shown as being outturned and extending vertically above the oil-chamber. In the modilied form of my invention shown in Fig. 6 this collar 25 is shown as inturned and extending downward within the oil-chamber, and this latter construction of the oil-chamber and collar is preferable, inasmuch as it admits of the burner being correspondingly lowered and brought nearer the oil.
vIn large lamps requiring considerable quantities of air for the center tube I provide perforat-ions 22 in the oil-chamber around the collar 25, through which perforations the air passes to the center tube through the lower section l of the air-distributer and the airports 7. I further provide an annulns 24, which is fastened within the oil-chamber below the opening 22 and extends to the lower side of the burner and prevents the oil from passing out through the holes 22 when the oil-chamber is full in the event that the lamp be tilted or inclined when being handled.
In small glass lamps the air-distributer is detachably fastened to a reducer 19, having a threaded nipple 28, which is adapted to be screwed into the collar of the glass bowl, as will be readily understood.
Having thus described my invention, claim-- l. In a center-draft lamp, the combination with an inner wick-tube having air-ports, of a wick-raiser havinga vertically-movable partition extending across the inner wick-tube between the air-ports, substantially as described.
