Be it `known that We,` THOMAS S. GATEs Auand ALEXANDER H. FEITOHEY, both ot Golumbus, in the State of Ohio, have invented i an Improvementfin Vapor-Burners; and we do hereby declare theiollowin g, taken in con- `nectionwith the drawings which accompany w and form part of this specification, is a description of our invention sufficient to enable thoseskilled in the art to practice it. a y `The invention is an 1 additional improvement upon `that forwhich we obtained Letters @Patent June 1, 1869, numbered 90,659, and in which a supplemental burner or orifice from the chamber of the main burner formed a lfcommunication or passage from it to a vertiv cal tube attached to the side of` such main burner, the supplemental burner serving to l facilitate and hastenthe` generation `of gas from the uid inthe supply-pipe, fed from a vessel or fount, `sufficiently elevated, in a manner Well known. f i

l In that patent "the auxiliary burner or Oril ceformed a direct communication or passage from the main burner or gas-chamber (marked a B in `the accompanying sectional drawing,

"forming partof this specilication) to the upperportion of` the vertical tube, marked E,land ata point above `the generatingaopchamberG. l Y l We also obtained `Letters Patent foran improvement uponsaid constructed burner, Aul gust 17, 1869, numbered 93,698, inwhich we 1 l i found many decided advantages in dispensing l with anyopening between the parts B and E,

that we gain manyadvantages by 'constructing our burner as represented by the following "gures, to wit, (reference being had `to the `accompanying drawings:)

a Specification forwtnlqmprtofletters Patent o. 115,189, dated May 23, 1871.

patent of June 1, 1869, numbered 90,659; but

said opening, marked C, is not now made directly into the vertical tube E, but into an inner and smaller tube, closed at the top, and permanently attached to the side of the said chamber B. The lower end of said smaller tube, marked K, projects beyond the chamber B, as is seen in Fig. 4;, and :reaches apoint over the generating-chamber G, for the purpose hereinafter shown.

Together withthis change in the construction, we also` construct the burner in two parts, (more particularly shown in Figs. 3 and 4,) so the same can be easily taken apart and cleaned when necessary, and also that the size and strength of the illuminating flame can be easily regulated by admitting more or less oxygen, by means of raising or lowering the chamber B, as the smaller tube K' slides down into the'vertical tube E, and, being attached to the chamber B, forms a hold-fast to the two parts of the burner.

The other parts, A, D, B, F, and H, are substantially the same in construction as in said patent of June 1, 1869, A being the slit for the exit of the gas for illuminating; D, the opening to admit oxygen into the gas-cham ber; B, the gas-chamber, of the length ordinarily used in ordinary table or stand lamps, yet the same may be constructed of any length, from one half inch to three feet, from the opening C to the slit A, as may be suitable to different styles of lamps; F, the pin.

struction are that the passage of the gas or vapor through the auxiliary jet C 'into and down to the lower end of the smaller tube K,

-where it is ignited and burns, while 'it furnishes heat to the generating-chamber G, for generating purposes, at the same 4point as shown in our patent of August 17, 1869, and numbered 93,698, it also is perfectly noiseless in its operation.

rlhere is no smoke arising from this heatingjet, as from its manner of construction the smoke is all consumed in the tube E. The flame ofthe heating-jet 'cannot rise high enough to be Visible above the top of the tube E, and consequently cannot interfere with the illuminating name.

The burner can easily be adjusted, taken apart, cleaned, and placed together again.

We claim- The application and attachment of the small i tube or conductor K, of such different lengths and shapes as may be required, to the mixing or gas chamber B, communicating therewith at any suitable distance beyond the oxygenholes D, for the purpose of conducting a portion ot' the oxygenized vapor back to the outer surface of the generating-chamber G for heating purposes.
