WILLIAM W. BI-NNY, OF'AUBURN, `NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO S. N. BIEROE, OE NEW YORK CITY.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making .part of the same.

Il...V o

I, VILLIAM W. BLNNY, of the city of Auburn, iu v Cayuga county, and State of New York, have invented a certain Improvement in Gasoline Gas-blowing Machine, of which the following is a specication.

' Nature wml Objects of the liwentiun.

My invention relates to the outlet end of the blowing-cylinder, and consists in making the opening in that end further from the radial line of the float orl bucket than it is at the inlet end of the saine, for the purpose of producing a more even pressure on the gasoline vapor as it approaches the burner.

Description of the Drawing.

lFigure 1 is a stretchout of the blowing-cylinder.

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section, taken through the center, showing all the parts in the collective relation. l

Figure 3 is a cross vertical section of the blowingcylinder, taken through the center.

Figure 4 is an elevation of one of the blowing-cyl-y inders, showing the end; the points of the darts` showing the place where the gasoline vapor enters the same.

,Figure 5 is a side view of the blowing-cylinder,

. Vwith'the cover removed, for the-purpose of showing 4the position of the ioat J to the inlet-opening U, and to the outlet-opening V, 'as my invention consists of making the distance from the said outletopening to the iloat J more, by some twelve to fifteen degrees, than the distance from the float J to the inlet opening' U, measured around the diameter.

A is' the inlet-pipe, connecting with and opening into the carhureter, not shown,fro1n which the gas is drawn, and it moves up the said pipe, as shown by the dart in the lower end, from which it passes into the chamber B. The head C ofthe blowing-cylinder D is made gastight, except the hole in the center, through which the pipe A enters the end of the said cylinder'.

The head E is open,flike the head F; both are alike, and shown inA iig. 4, where the points of the darts show where the gas enters the cylinder through said head, and if these darts were reversed they would show where the gas escapes through the. head F.

The loats G H I J K have the edges nearest the shaft L straight, and parallel therewith.

The opposite edge of the said floats are made in a spiral form, as shown at M M, 85e., the ends at M M, 85o., terminating at and forming a part ot' the heads E and F.

The external case N is iilled with water up to the line 0, and covers three-fifths ofthe external case and the blowing-cylinder, as shown at iig. 3. The blowing-cylinder may be caused to rotate slowly by any force applied thereto.

Operation.

" Let us suppose thecylinderto be turning in the direction of theda'rt I. AWhen the opening at the point of the dart Q rises above the water-line O, the chamber R will gradually fill with gas, by drawing it through the pipe A, in the same order that water recedes from the said chambers bythe rotation of the cylinder, and, when the opening at the point of the dart Q passes below the water-line on the opposite side, at 1, the other end of the chamber It is opened by passing above the water-line, and the gas is thus passed through the chamber R into the cylinder N, at S, and from thence up the outlet-pipe T to thc burners.

Each chamber has a spiral space formed by the Boats, which extends around two-fifths of the di' ameter of the blowing-cylinder; consequently no gas can pass through the cylinder from the eharnberB, except as fast as the water recedestfrom the inlet end, caused by the rotation of the cylinder.

This arrangement gives a v ery steady and uniform supply'of gas to the burner, and on that account produces a steady and constant light.

I claim as my invention- Extending the outlet-opening V about twelve to fifteen degrees further around the shaft, from the iioat J, than the inlet-opening, substantially as above described.

WILLIAM W. BINNY.'
