IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.

ThevSchedule referred to in these Letters Patent: aind making part of the same.

I, GEORGE P.1`ULLER, of H umphrcy, iii the county .of Cattarangus and State of New. York, have invented prevent any ame which maybe brought there by any cause passiiigiuto the tube. When the lainp'is to be extinguished the slide is turned to cover the openings, to prevent the esca-pc of gas.

To enable others skilled in the art to which niy iinprovement uppcrtaiiisto make and use niy invention, 1 will now give a detailed description thereof'.

In the accompanying drawing which makes a part ot` this specification- Figure 1 is a vertical section of a iaiiip provided with the improved burner.

Figure 2- is a side elevation of the safety-tube C.

Figure 3 is a. likegview of the said tube C and slide E, in connection therewith.

Like letters 'ni all the figures indicate the saine pai-ts.

A is the oil-chamber.

B is the wick-tube, to which is connecte-.l the detachable safety-tube C and the burner l), or any ordinary burner.

The safety-tube C has iii its uppcr end a series of openings, a, through which air tlows and coniniiiiglcs with the gas as itpasscs up through the wick E to the burner, and also has a t'ree passage through the openings b to the gas-chamber, to keep up an equiv libriuni hetwccii the air in the gas-chamber and the external air outside of the lamp.

The possibility 0f explosion is prevented by any ex,

The free circulation otair through the tubes,as de.- scrilied, prevents a communication ot' li`cat.i'roiii the burner to the hotly ofthe lanip. Q F is :i tubular slide which surrounds`the tube.

1t is pierced willi siiiall holes (l, which, when the lamp l'iiiriiiiig, are broughtiiitoconiniunicatioii with the pci't'orntioii's ot'tlie'satity-tuhc U, the holes ot'the slide heilig siiiall enough to prevent any thune bring carried into the tnhc and communicating with the gus.

\\'lieii the laiiip is to be extinguished the slide is turned partly around to close thc openings l ot' the safety-tube so as to prevent any outllow ot" gus.

'llic iiiovciiieiits ot' the slide. are. regulated hy the slot fin the lower edge :ind uthe pin y, which projects t'roiii the sideotl the tulic, as secu in tig. 3.

1t' deciiicd necessary, the slide nia) he provided willi a thiiuhle surrounding it, constructed ot' thin wire gauze.

llie object of thc extension ot' the tube (l to near the hottonrot'tlie oil-cliaiiibcr A is to prevent the di? rcctfupward pressure ot'gas, as without this provision danger might occur it' through `neglect the slide F 'should be left closed. Yet, it' desired, the tube may be iliade only longr enough t'oi' the combination therewith ot' the slide F. Y 1

\Vliat`l claini as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v The combination ofthe slide I" with the safety-tubo C, the slide being provided with holes (I, and the tube with pertiil'atoiis (l, substantially iii the liiuiinir and for the purpose set forth. 2'

' 1u testimony that the above is iiiy invention thnve hereunto-set my hund and aiiixed niy seal this 22d day ot' March, 1870. l GEORGE' l. liULLllli. [nq 'itncsscs:
