|MPROVEMENT IN GAS-Beanies.

Spcciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 21,733, dated October 1'2, 1858 Reissue No.,708, dated May 3, 1859.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be :it known that YARNALL BAILY, of the city and county of Philadelphia-1 in the State of Pennsylvania, has invented a new and Improved SelfGenerating Gas-Burner; and l, JOHN K. ONEIL, of Kingston, in the county of Ulster and State ot' New York, assignee ot' all the right and title in and to said invention, do hereby declare that the following isY a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specitication.

Figure l is a view in perspective of said burner, showing it adjusted for producing a i'ulllight; Fig. 2, a vertical section thereof, showing it adjusted for producing a diminished light; Fig. 3, a vertical section in a plane at right angles to the plane of the section in Fig. 2.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

From a lamp or reservoir, A, Fig. 1, a tube, B, or its equivalent extends upward l'or receiving the wick C and burner b. The upper part ot' the tube B immediately beneath the burner b .may be unoccupied by the wick (l, in order to furnish a small space or chamber, C, to contain a quantity ot' generated gas, so

Athat a ready supply thereof may always be secured. lo the upper end and outside of the tube B is secured the heater D, in which my invention consists, and which is constructed and arranged substantially as follows: i

The lower part of sa-id heater is either of tubular form or of any other practcableconstruction by which it may be placed in con` tact with vthe wick tube or holder B and be,

adjusted up and down or toward and `from the flame. It; is provided with one, two, or any other number of flanges or heat-receivers, e c, which extend up from the lower or.

attaching pa'rt by the side otfthe flame of theV burner b. These'tlangesor heat-receivers are ofthe form represented, or of any other form, shape, or construction, suchras of curved wire or band, balls, disks, or open-work, provided the purpose of receiving the heat from the llame and communicating it downward to the wick tube or holder is ei'ected thereby. The means or mode of adjusting the heater up and' down may beY bya screw-thread cut therein l and working over a screw-thread on the wicktube, as represented in the drawings, or in any other way which may be convenient en desired, and the different heaters e e may I t be permanently attached to or constructed with the lower or attaching part or with each other, and thus be all adjusted together, or-

each adjustable separately byslidin g or turning up and down or to and from the Haine in any suitable way. The action of this adjusta-k ble heater is such that when its heat-receiveers e e are raised by theside of the flame or brought nearer thereto, and thus more sur face exposed to the heat thereof or subjected thereto, more heat is communicated by said heater to the fluid brought Aup into the tube or wick-holder B by the wick U, and consequently more gas generated and a larger dame produced, as indicated in Fig. l; but when the heat-receivers@ e are lowered-or less surface thereto or receiving less intensity of action therefrom, by consequence less gas is generated below and a smaller tlame is produced, as indicated in Fig. 2. Thus, by adjustin g the heater or its heat-receivers to dit'- ferent positions more or less gas is generated at pleasure to any desirable limit, and `the quantity or size ot'iiame produced is correspondingly varied.

.I do not claim the employment ot' heaters the flame of lamps to thcoil or vaporizingtluid therefrom; but

What I claim as the aforesaid inrentiou Producing a light, which may be increased ordiminished at pleasure, by means ot' the adjustable heater D or heat-receivers@ c, operating in connection with a wick tube or holder, P, and the flame ot' the lamp or burner, substantially as herein specified, or within the meaning and -intention thereof.

The above specification signed by me this 26th day of March, 1859. Y JOH- T K. ONEIL. Witnesses:

to a greater intensity by nearer proximity( moved away from the ame, thus exposing or their equivalents for carrying heat fromV thereof for the purpose ot' generating the gas
