Letters Patent No. 86,694, dated February.. 9, 1859; antlezlated January 25,1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.
vTo all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, DATUs E. RUGG, of Sing Sing, lin, the county of VVest'chester, and State of New York,
have invented a new and improved Lamp-Burner; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specication.
-This invention relates to a new and improved lamp burner; and
It consists in constructing the burner in such a manner that' the dame will be isolated from the wick-tube, and the latter prevented from conducting heat down to the lamp, as is the case with the ordinary burners in nse.
The invention consists in having the cone or deiiector of the4 burner vprovided with a perforated plate or wiregauze partition, or inside cone, placed some distance above the top of the wick-tube, and having the wick extend or project above said plate or partition, so that a current of air will be made to pass between the wick and the plate, and. the flame thereby prevented from extending down below the said partition, and, conse quently, .undue evaporation of the oil is prevented, as well as all danger of explosions.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings- Figure l is a side View o f my invention, partly in section.
Figui-e2, a'horizontal section ofthe same, taken in the line :z: a1, iig. l.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A represents the body or main portion of the burner;
B, the cone or defiector thereof; and
C, the wick-tube.
These parts, being of usual construction, do not re qnire a special description.
Within the coneor dedector B, near its upper end, there ispermanently secured a perforated or wirefgauze plate or inside cone, afhaving an oblong slot, a', made in it, rather larger in dimensions than the top ofthe wick-tube G, and this plate a is some distance above the top of the Wick-tube C, as shown clearly in iig. 1. In using the burner, the top of the wick is projected upward, a tride abdvethe perforated plate or inside cone a, and the flame is not allowed to come in contact with the wick-tube, the perforated or wire-gauze plate a. pre' venting it; and hence the wick-tube is prevented from getting heated, and conducting heat down to the fountain of the lamp, while the flame will be supplied with a requisite amount of air to insure proper combustion.
The perforated plate or cone a, it will be seen, in consequence of' the current of-..air it induces, isolates the dame from the wick-tube, while, at the same time, it does not interfere with the propervsupply of air to the dame'.
By this improvement, therefore, the explosions produced by the common burner overheating the fluid, which not ,nnfreqnently attend the use'of ooalfoil, more especially those of the lighter grades, will be avoided.
Due provision is made for the passage of air through the burner to supply the dame, both above and within the cone or deflector, as indicated by the openings b, and the draught-chimney is retained on the burner by having an Indiaerubber band, o, fitted on the'iexterior of the burner7 for the lower endA of the chimney to fit over.
This rubber band will canse the chimney to be rmly retained in positionfand, at the salme time, prevents the contingency of the breaking of the chimney under the expansion and contraction of the same. v
Having described my invention,
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The isolating of the ame from the wick-tube of a lamp-burner, -by means of a. perforated or wire-gauze plate, or inside cone, a, placed within the cone or deiiector B of the burner, and in relation with the wicktube C, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
Witnesses: DATUS E. RUGG.
