IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

The Schedule referred" to in these ream Patent and making m of the same.

here, Wes'tchester county, l\ ew York,- have invented, made, and applied to use certain Improvements in the. Gonstrnction of NaphthaeBui-ners; and that the following is a full, clear, and correct description of my invention, reference being" had to the accompa nying drawings inaking part of this specification and to theletters of'reference marked thereon, in whiclr' Figure 1. is a front view of my improved naphthaburner.

Figure 2 is a sectional view ofthe same.

In .the drawings like parts of the invention are pointed out by the same letters of reference.

The nature of the present invention consists in certain improvements in thetcoustruction of naphtha-v burners, for which Letters Patent were granted me December 17, 1867; the object of the invention being to overcome certain difficulties which have heretofore attended the use of the burner then patented;

and greatly improve the same.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my improvements, I will describe the same.

Ashows a tube, formed of copper, or any suitable metal, provided with lips a, formed by flattening out the metal in process of manufacture.

This tube A is also providedwith an opening upon its lower end, communicating with the retort B, and into which opening the end of the conical pointed screw enters.

The tube Aisals'o slotted upon its sides, to receive the ends of the conductor E, as hereinafter-described.

B is the retort, to receive the liquid, from which the gas is generated by heating, which retort may be brasedonto the bottom of the tube A.

The retort is provided at its back with an opening, communicating with the opening in the tube A, through'which opening the gas generated in theretort enters the. tnbe A.

G is a cup placed upon the under side of the retort, to receive alcohol, or any'snitabie inflammable material, to heat the retort B before theburner. is lighted, and cause gas to be generated from naphtha, or other like fluid introduced into the retort. I

D is :a thumb-screw, provided with a conical end, and inserted in the bottom of the retort, which screw serves to regulate the communication between the retort'and' the tube as when screw D is nlly inserted its conical end enters the opening in e bottom of .the tube A, cutting off all communication between the same and the retort B.

' 1: is a conductor, formed of round. copper wire, in the shape ofa .yoke, and so constructed that, when placed over the tube A, and: its ends have, entered the side openings .in the same, it shall fit snugly into the space between the lips (I, closingthe same.

The conductorthus extends from the throat down upon eachside of the tube A, and is detachable therefrom when desired.

The conductor is made sufiiciently long and heavy to conduct the amount of heat required to heat the retort, so that gas may be generated from the liquid introduced into the same.

0 0 show a series of perforations in the lips a, through which the gas, when the burner is in use, is

sues.

F and F are mixers, employed by me for the purpose of breaking up the gas as it passes from the retort to the mouth of the tube, and also to break up or separate the air that may enter the tube A through the side; openings in the same.

These mixers are formed from wire,'and are made sufficiently large to very nearly fill the openings in the side of the tube A, in which they are placed.

Such being the construction, the operation is as follows:

The burner may be attached to a tube provided with a reservoir to receive the naphtha to be supplied I to the retort B.

The retort being supplied-with naphtha, the screw D being inserted so that communication between the retort and tube is interrupted, the cup 0 is filled with alcohol.

The alcohol being ignited, the retort is heated until gas is generated from the naphtha or similar fluid contained in the retort B.

When this is done, the screw D is 'unscrewed,.opening communication between the retort and the tube, and allowing the gas generated in the retort to pass through the tube to the throat, where it may be ignited, and passes out through theperforations in the same.

The conductor, takes up from the flame, and conducts sufficient heat to the retort to heat the same, so that as fresh naphtha or similar fluid is introduced into or supplied to the same, the generation of gas shall go on. t

The improvement in the present instance consists in adding the mixers F and F to the burners.

These mixers, vas already-stated, tend to divide the gas as it passes from the retort to the mouth of the larly, a steady flame is obtained, and the brilliancy of the same is much increased, while the combustion is ing substantially as described, the detachable conducrendered more perfect. tor E and mixers F F, as and for the purposes speci- The value of my previous invention is materially fied. increased by the use of these mixers F F.
