Specification of LettersPaten't No. 26,458, dated Decembr 13, 18 5 9.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. BRONSON, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Oarbonizers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making part of this specification.

The nature of my invention relates to the arrangement of the zigzag passages through the carbonizing or naphthalizing apparatus substantially as hereinafter described.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a perspective View of the apparatus, a small portion of the top plate being broken out, and one end removed and shown separately in elevation in Fig. 2. Fig. 3, is a sectional view, showing the arrangement of the corrugations. Fig. 4, is a sectional View showing how wood may be applied as the capillary conducting materlal.

near the side of the case A is arranged the strip E, not so high as the others so that when the liquid rises so as to flow over them the strips C, will still stand-somewhat above the liquid forming upward projectin edges for the gas to pass over. The strips have no perforations and the liquid can not pass them till it flows over the to s of them, they are also arranged on one si e of the case on alternate division plates and on the opposite Outside of strips E, perforations are made through the plates B, next to the side of the case on that when the liquid rises on one plate high enough to run over strip E, it will flow down through these perforations into the next apartment. On the under side of plates B, and intermediate between strips O, are arranged the strips F, projecting downward. On these strips and drawn up between them against plate B, is arranged I and secured as shown, a coating of paper or 1 f other porous substance suitable: to conduct by capillary action the hydrocarbon liquid,

forming. a series ofzigzag passages ,from

side to side ofthe apparatus, jin each'ofthe q several chambers thereof, "there being ranged *and suspended from the roof each chamber zigzagsToftlotl i or paperywith intervening strips or fioists G; resting edgewise upon the floor ithereof, forming to-. I gether a horizontal zigzag passage for the gases totraversethe chambers.

From the coating of the under sides ,of.

plate B, are arranged to hang down into the liquid strips G, of like material which serve as capillary conductors by which said coating becomes saturated. with. the hydro-car bon fluid from belowand whichalsofserve 5 "to vaporize the liquid aswell as the coating upon the under side of plate This yap:

orizing and capillary conducting material for the strips G, and. coating of platescB, 3

may be of paper asfishown, orany other. Wood, cloth, paper, cotton, sp n eae.

fibrous or porous substance, as forfinstance This apparatus is adapted to the purpose of mixing the vapors. of naphtha and other hydro-carbon liquids with either air or gas.

The opening J, is for the purpose ofciny troducing the hydro-carbon liquid and the opening K, is for letting it out bya faucet; f or other means when it has risen to the proper height in the lower apartment. 1

Opening H, is for the admission. ofuthe gas or air to be carbonized and opening I, for 11. its exit after being mixed with the vapors of the hydro-carbon liquid. The case can? be 5 made of any suitable material to containthe liquids and gases to be used.

Having thus described the construction of my improvement; I will proceed ex- 3 1 plain the operation. H

The opening H, being connected theifi supplying gas pipe and the opening I, with the delivery plpe, the naphtha orother hydro-carbon liquidis poured in at the open-f ing J, the upperplate .B,t-hereby is covered with it and it rises until it flowsgover strip E, and down through the erforations L,

into the next apartment filling that in like I manner to the top of strip E, and then flow: 1 ing down through perforations M, intothe I next apartment and soon till all are like manner supplied and the lower apart--1 its ment filled up to opening K, out of which it begins to flow by the faucet or other discharging device, then the supply at J, is checked. The apparatus being thus supplied with the liquid the gas or air is let in at opening H, (which may be arranged on the opposite side) and passes upward through openings N, into the apartment next above then in a zigzag passage formed by the alternating of the corrugations before described it finds its way across the case to the openings or perforations M, and passes through them into the next apartment above and so on passing'from side to side through the zigzag passages and amid the evaporation from above and below, of the hydro-carbon liquid becomes suitably impregnated therewith and passes out into the delivery or distributing pipe at I.

Thus having described the construction manner and for the purpose herein set forth.

GEO. H. BRONSON.
