" above 'thegasoline in *gasoline receptacles.

The objects of "my invention are:

First, to provide a meansfor utilizing the vapor in the receptacle/for furnishing fuel to the burn'ero'fgasoli'ne lanterns until the burner shall become sufiiciently heated to generate the gas from the gasoline itself, thus eliminating the necessity of having to heat the generator or feedpipe with ablow torch or other "independent"heatingmeans.

Second, to providea novelinitia'l burner] means for heatingthe gasolifnet-ube preparatory to lts generatingitsown gasirom "the gasoline.

Third, to provide an initial burner means of this class lll'iiilllcll'tlie vapor from the gasoline receptacle *i's-- prdperly distributed and burned for heating the gasoline conducting tube to the burner. 7

Fourth, to provide a novelly constructed initial generating burner means for gasoline lanterns, and- Fifth, to provide a means of this class which is very simple and economical of construction, durable, efiicient and which will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter, my invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of references thereon, which form apart of this application in which:

The gasoline receptacle il, valve-casing 2,

thimble member 3, gasoline conducting tu bo at, spring coil 5, nut 6, air tube 7,; and -bui ner 8, constitute the principal parts and portions of my gasoline lantern generating burner mechanism. i i

The gasoline receptacle 1 nary or conventional type p'rovided with'r'agn internally threaded orifice in the central upper portion and is provided with :the usual pressure pump l therernu Securedlln the receptacle through the casing airditoone side of the u'pper side ofthe casing 2,Wll*lle the other extends from near th'eibottom10f the receptacle 1 to a i central' portion Iinithe lllhisadasiirg is provided with a! centr a1 ienteifd-ingi portion 2 over which the lower end ofa'thetrgasoline conducting tube dis-amounted nd is seaired in position by means "of the 'rnutw6 screwed onto the extended 5 portion 2 ;so-mth attheaorilice 2 in the casing 2 is for conducting the gasoline upwardly to the tube 4 where it is generated into vapor and conducted to the burner 8. The casing 2 is provided with an externally threaded portion 2 over which is mounted a thimble member 8, the walls of which converge upwardly forming a taper at the upper end, as shown best in Figure 2 of the drawings. This is provided with screw threads at its lower end adapted to fit over the portion 2. It is provided with a plurality of air inlet orifices 3 at its lower end to admit air to mix with the vapor from the upper portion of the receptacle 1 passing through the port 2 in the casing 2. Wound around the gasoline conducting tube 4: is a spring member 5 which fits snugly the tube 4 to near the upper end of the thimble member 3 and then is wound member 3 is screwed onto the casing memthe orifice 1 is the valve oasing firia nd itiii s provided with two ports therethrouglnuthe ber 2 spreads the spiral portion and serves as a mixer for the vapor. and air which passes out at the upper end of the thimble 3 where it is ignited and heats the tube 4 until the tube 4 is suflieiently heated to generate its own vapor from the gasoline from the receptacle 1. When the'valve is turned it closes the port 2 and opens the port 2.

Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions I do not wish to be limited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement but desire to include in the scope of my invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: v

1. In a gasoline lantern, a valve casing, a gasoline conducting tube communicating with one of the ports in said casing, a thimble mounted on said casing around said tube and provided with an inwardly tapered up per end and provided with a plurality of air inlet ports near its lower end; said valve casing provided with a port communicating with the interior of said thimble at its lower end between the gasoline conducting tube and said thimble and a wire coil positioned around said gasoline conducting tube and provided with a. spiral portion, the outer side of which engages the tapering portion of said thimble.

' 2. In a generating burner mechanism for gasoline lanterns, a valvecasing with two ports therethrough, a gasoline conducting tube communicating with one of said ports, a thimble surrounding said gasoline tube, the interior of which communicates with the other port insaid valve casing and a metallic coil member interposed between said thimble and said gasoline conducting tube.

3. In a generating burner mechanism for gasoline lanterns, a valve casing with two ports therethrough, a gasoline conducting tube communicating with one of said ports.

interior of which communicates with the other port 1n said valve casing and a metallic coil member interposed between said thimble and said gasoline conducting tube and means for admitting air to the lower end of said thimble above the communicatingport in said casing and valve means for regulating the flow of vapor 'or gasoline through said valve casing.

5. In a mechanism of this class described, a valve. casing with two ports, one for gasoline and the other for vapor, a tube communicating with the gasoline port, a thimble member surrounding said gasoline tube and communicating with the vapor port and a metallic coil wound around said gasoline tube and a portion engaging the upper POI.

tion of said thimble member whereby the members of said coil are spread.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego, California, vthis 13th day of February, 1925.

CHARLES MEISSNER.
