IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 140,029, dated June 17, 1873; application filed March 10, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Moses F. GALE, of the city, county, and Stateof New York, have invented certain Improvements in Vapor- Burners, of which the following is a specification:
This invention belongs to that class of devices for illuminating purposes, in which the carbon-oils or similar products are used, and which are converted into a gaseous state before reaching the point of combustion; and the invention consists in the combination of the generating chamber or retort with the reservoir by tubes, and a regulatingvalve, so that the gas may be properly regulated and directed to the burners, as desired.
Figure l is an exterior view in elevation of the burner complete. Fig. 2 is a top view of the annular tube in which the jet-openings are formed. Fig. 3 isavertioa-l section through the plane of the tubes leading from the retort to the reservoir. Fig. Llis avertical section at a right angle to Fig. 3.
The body of the entire apparatus consists of the retort or gas-generating chamber A, which, with its tubes B B leading therefrom to the reservoir C, may all be cast in one piece, and the tubes may afterward be drilled or bored out in the metal casting. AS shown in theY drawings, the retort and reservoir are cylindrical in form, and through the upper end of the retortchamber a hole is made for charging the retort with carbonaceous substances, and also for cleaning it when required, and said hole is provided with a 'screw-plug, as at D, for stopping it. An inlettube for conveying the oil to the retort is shown at E, and connects with the upper end of the retort, so that the oil will percolate down throughthe broken carbon in the retort, and as it is converted into gas will be forced down through the tubes B B to the lower end of the reservoir, where a stop-valve, as at G, is provided for regulating the flow of the gas into the reservoir C. Near the lower end of the reservoir G an inlet for oxygen, as at H, is provided, by which a better provision for combustion is giventhan could be maintained without it. From the reservoir C radial tubes K lead the gas and air commingled to the annular tube L, in which the slits or perforations are made, as shown at M, Fig. 2, and whence the gas issues to form dames, outlines of which are seen at N,Fig. 1, where it will be observed that their inner tips or wings come in contact with the retort or gas-generating chamber, and thereby heat it to the required tempera ture to convert the oilinto a gaseous state ready for burning.
I therefore claim- The combination of the retort A, tubes B B', regulating-valve G,`reservoir G, all cooperating as described, and for the purposes set forth.
Mosns r. GALE.
