`GAS-sunrise.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 291,480, dated January 1, 1884. Applicatbn filed June 12, 1883. (No model.)

. T all whom t may concern,.-

i State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners,

of which the following is a specification.

This improvement consists in a novel m'ethod of suspending a gasburncr, and it includes a means whereby the heating of the gas before its arrival at the burner tip or tips will be ef fected.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis Y p a central vertical section of a gas-burner and appurtenances embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same, and Fig. 3 is an inverted plan or bottom View thereof.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the gures.

A designates an `annular burner-tip having apertures for the escape of jets of gas at its apex, and supported by a number of hollow arms, a, which extend to it from a central body-piece, b, and conduct gas to it from the said body-piece. In the body-piece b of the burner-tip is a central cavity, into which the gas is conducted. The gas which is to be used in the burner is supplied from any suitable source through a pipe, B. .This pipe B is screwed into-a disk, C, and communicates with a similar pipe, D, also screwed into said disk, but extending downwardly therefrom. The pipe D is open at the lower end and extends nearly to a second disk, E. A pipe, F, considerably larger than the pipe D, is screwed into the diskFi in such position as to be conp centric with the pipe D. A shell, G, ext-ends between the disks C E. As shown, it enters a groove in the under side of the disk C and screws on the exterior of the disk-E.

H designates a pipe extending downwardly from the disk E, and, as here shown, it is secured thereto by being screwed onto a downwardly-extending flange. Passages. or ducts c extend through the disk E and establish communication between the space outside the p pipe F, within the shell G and the pipe H. The lower end of this pipe H is connected with the central cavity in the body-piece of the burner-tip' A by means of a taper pipe, I.

The pipe I is shown as being screwed into the piece of the burner-tip.

Arms J, adjustably secured to certain of the arms a of the burner-tip, serve to support a chimney, K, which is shown as cylindrical in `pipe H and upon the exterior of the body` shape, and may be made of glass. The arms J are longitudinally slotted, and are secured to the arms a by screws passing through their slotsand entering the arms a.. This chimney K extends above the lower portion of the shell G.

L designates a number of pipes extending from the disk E to the disk C. These pipes are shown as being screwed into the disk E, but they are preferably expanded into the disk C. They secure the disks together. These pipes are arranged in a circular row or series close to the interior of the shell G. Gas, entering the pipe B, passes downwardly to and through the pipe D, thence into the pipe F, and thence upwardly through this pipe F into the space inclosed by the disks C E and the shell G. From the shell G the gas passes through the apertures cinto the pipe H, thence into the pipe I, thence into the body-piece of the burner, and thence through the arms a, into the burner-tip. The air necessary to support combustion enters between the arms a to the space encircled by the burner-tip., and betweenthe arms J to the space which is between the burner-tip and the chimney K. The products of combustion pass up around the pipe H and heat the gas therein. Ascending above the pipe H they enter the pipes L, and thence escape into the atmosphere. In passing through the pipes L the escaping products of combustion heat the gas which is in the shell G.

Around the pipe H is a piece of incandescing material-such as porcelain or abestus. It is shown as externally of an inverted conical form, so that it will form a deiector for throwing air against the interior of the flame.

A circular series of burner-tips may be used in lieu of a single annular burner-tip.

I have obtained Letters Patent for improve- ,ments in gas-burners, No. 278,568, dated May IOO burners, for which I have iiled applications for Letters Patent on November 4, 1882, Serial No. 77,087; June 6, 1883, Serial' No. 97,245; July 2, 1883, Serial No. 99,750, and July 11, 1883, Serial No. 100,490. In my .present application I do not desire to claim anything that is covered by my Letters Patent and applications above referred to.

By the arrangement of the pipes D Fand the shell G, I cause the gas to pass a greater distance while subjected to heat from the escaping products of combustion than in my other improvements, because the gas has to descend to the bottom of the pipe D, then aseend to the top of pipe F, and finally descend tothe bottom of the shell G, thereby passing three times a distance equal nearly to the ylength of the shell G before escaping` into the pipe H. By making th'e pipe H nearly as large as the annular burner-tip or series of burner-tips and leaving it uninterrupted by any pipe passing through it I provide a chamber of large capacity through which the gas passes sluggishly, and in which the gas is iinally heated to a high degree before passing to the burner tip or tips. It will therefore be l seen that I provide a long passage consisting of the intercommunicating pipes D F and the shell G, in which the inital heating of the gas will be performed, and alarge c h amber through which the gas will pass so slowly that itsiinal heating will be eectively performed. The pipes H and I serve the additional purpose of a support for the, burner tip or tips.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

1. rIhe combination, with the upwardly-ex;

tending annular burner-tip 'A or a circular series of burner-tips, of the downwardly-extending gas-supply pipe D, and the pipe II I, communicating with the pipe D and extending'downward to a central body-piece, whence gas is supplied to the burner tip or tips, and made much larger than the pipe D, so as to form a chamber wherein the gas will be heated by the flame and ascending products of combustion, substantially as specified.

2. In a gas-burner, the combination of a gas-supply pipe by which the burner is to be suspended, and which is open at the lower end, a second pipe of larger size surrounding the gas-supply pipe, closed at the lower end and open at the upper end, a shell surrounding said second pipe and communicating with the open upper end thereof, a third pipe arranged below and communicating with said shell, and an annular burner-tip, or a circular series of burner-tips supported by the lastmentioned pipe, and to be supplied with ga therefrom, substantially as specified. l

3. The combination, with an annular burner-tip, or a` circular series of burner-tips, of the pipe B, the shell G, connected to the disks C E, a pipe establishing communication between the space inclosed by the said shell G and a central body-piece, whence gas is supplied to the burner tip or tips, a chimney, and the pipes L, arranged within the shell G, substantially as specied.
