IMPERIAL

PATENT OFFICE

The innovations concern devices for lamps, which the introduction of an artificial air flow i _n the flames in such a matching strength effect, characterized That the combustion of light gases, a more complete and as a result, the generated light is even brighter and calm burning. At the same time, any annoying smoke and odor formation is prevented and the ordinary lamp chimney is made dispensable.

The facilities used for this purpose are as follows:

ι. A fan made for generation of an air stream is set in rotation by a suitable mechanism.

2. Guide channels through which the air flow is directed to the flame.

3. One or more burner caps with one or more sheaths for the The passage of the flame and are arranged in such a way that they permit the stream of air to to pass through one or more of those sheaths to get to the flame.

4. A device for regulating the strength of the air flow.

In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a vertical section of a new lamp. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the housing thereof containing the fan and the center Includes key to be wound clockwork to move it.

C, Fig. I, is the housing of the lamp, which can be of any shape and size and of any suitable material. The housing is perforated at the bottom of its foot to allow the outside air to enter it. The upper part C ^{1 of} the lamp-housing can be lifted off; for this purpose it is in some convenient way brought into easily detachable connection with the part of vase C ^{containing an extension C 2.}

B, Fig. 1, is the oil vessel which rests on the upper edge of part C ^{1 of} the housing and can be of any shape and size, only a sufficiently large passage cross-section must remain between it and the housing for the air flowing to the flame.

The known burner is screwed into the oil container B and a cap G with the wick sheath is placed over it. As usual, a toothed rod is used to adjust the wick, which can be moved up and down by the gear unit with handwheel A ^1.

A short piece of pipe P is inserted into the narrowed central part of the case C , and the upper part of another case L is pushed into it from below, the latter containing the fan and clockwork mentioned. As a result of this arrangement, the air flow is guided in the directions of the arrows through the free annular space remaining between the oil container and the lamp housing; and it becomes the same

Claims (3)

Purposes between the housing L containing the clockwork and the outer housing C a corresponding free space is left. The crossbars' XX are used to attach the inner housing L to the outer C. The axis of the spiral spring, which sets the movement in motion, emerges from the case L down into the case · C. The wing wrench N for winding the spring is attached to the lower end of this axis. A pawl Y is arranged to interrupt the movement of the movement. On the back of the key, just below the bottom of the inner housing L, a round sheet metal shield »S1, curved towards a spherical surface, is arranged to allow air to enter the ring-shaped space Q formed by L and C appropriately. to restrict. For the same purpose, an annular inner projection R of the housing C is arranged between the annular space Q and the sheet metal screen 5 so that it projects inwardly over the outer edge of the latter. In this way the air entering at the base of the housing C is compelled to make a zigzag path towards the room Q, thus preventing any substance-like penetration of air which, without this device, can enter with a rapid movement of the lamp. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the fan and the housing Z, which encloses its engine. N is the key for winding the clockwork and S is the sheet metal shade already mentioned. The upper housing part E, which is used to support the vertical fan shaft, is provided with side cutouts H so that the fan can suck in air through them. The ventilator is marked y, and its blades rotate in a horizontal plane with the vertical axis, which receives its movement from the clockwork. As a result of the rotation of the fan, the air penetrates through the holes made at the base of the housing C and takes its way upwards between the sheet metal shield S and the overlying, inwardly protruding edge R to the annular space Q and from here further into the cutouts H in. As the air flow is then conveyed further to the pipe section P by the fan, it penetrates the annular space formed by the oil container B and the upper part of the housing C and finally passes through the cap of the burner G to the flame. ■ PATENτ claims: 1. The arrangement of the ventilator J in connection with a clock mechanism serving to move it, which is to be wound by means of the key N , arranged under the oil container B in the lower part of the lamp-housing, in order to generate an artificial air current to feed the flame. 2. The sheet metal screen S in connection with the annular projection R in the lamp housing, to prevent the substance-like penetration of air into the flame when the lamp is carried quickly. 3. The combination of the devices under 1. and 2. with an oil lamp, so that their Flame can thereby receive an artificial and adequate supply of air, for the purpose of obtaining a bright and steady burning one Light and saving of a special lamp cylinder. For this purpose I sheet drawings.
