BENJAMIN F. ENOOH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

GAS -BURNERFOR HEATING AND LIGHTING RQOMS.

SPECIPICATION'forming part of Letters Patent No, 296,320, dated April 8, 1884.

1 Application filed January 13, 1883. (No model.)

To (til whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. Enoorr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating and Lighting Rooms, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is an elevation of my improvements applied to a gas-burner, and Fig. 2 is a section of the same.

My invention has for its object to both heat and light the rooms or apartments of a building by the aid of gas-jets or other similar appurtenances.

Heretofore it has been common to inclose a gas-burner in a tube having a burner at its top. The object of this construction was to mix the air and gas in the tube in such proportions as to cause'the gas to lose its characteristic as a lighting medium and utilize it as a heating medium. My invention is designed to be used both as a lighting device and a heater, without impairing its usefulness for either purpose. Lamps have also been provided with tubes which supply air to the burner in limited quantities to increase its lighting qualities; but it is obvious, if the flame were exposed in a tube to a current of cool air, such as I intend using, that the light ing qualities of the oil would be destroyed. Burners have also been inclosed in a case attached by its lower end to a boxinclosed in. a wall and having an air-supply which passes to the burner.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a device which is independent of any external supply of air.

My invention accordingly consists of the novel combination, construction, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more particularly described and claimed, having special reference to the provision of a flexible tube and means for attaching it pendent to a gas-burner. Referring to the accompanying drawings, A represents a gas-burner; B, a globe, and O, the holder therefor, which may. consist of spring-arms c c, as shown in Fig. 1, or of a balcony, c, with screwsc, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

D represents a short tube, made of metal or other rigid material, having a beaded or flaring lower edge, cl,- and E indicates a section of a hose or flexible pipe secured to tube D by a 5 5 rubber or other band, as illustrated at (1, Figs. 1 and 2; or such attachment may be made by simply springing the upper end of the hose around the bead d of tube D, as shown in Fig. 2-. The tube D may be provided with a slot, (i for the passage of the pipe or bracketa, and upon which it rests, and is thereby held in position around the globe and its holder, the lower edge of the globe impinging against the upper edge of said tube D, as plainly shown in Fig. 1.

The pipe or hose E is designed to be of such length that it will nearly reach the floor F of the room to be heated and illuminated.

If desired, the balcony for the globe B may "0 be formed integral with or secured to tube D, as indicated in Fig. 2.

The operation is as follows: The light from the burner A is reflected from the globe B, and illuminates the room wherein it is located. 7 At the same time the hot air within said globe and tube D ascends and creates an upward draft in hose or pipe E, as indicated by the arrows a, whereupon the cold air near the floor passes into said pipe, ascends to the burner, and is thereby heated. A circulation of air is thus produced through pipe E and globe A, so that such air soon becomes heated and the room is warmed. If the temperature of the room becomes too hot, the supply of air to the burner may be cutoff or reduced by contracting the mouth or lower end of pipe E by means of a string, cord, or spring band or clamp. Said cord is represented at f, Fig. 1, and is secured to the pipe E in any suitable manner. I have described the pipe E as being preferably a flexible pipe, in order to make the heating device portable, or be capable of being folded together; but I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself thereto, as a tin or other light pipe may be substituted for pipe E, and secured to tube D in any suitable manner. So, too, in some cases the tube D may be dispensed with and the pipe E connected to. the burner or globe.

What I claim is- 1. The combination of a gas-burner, a globe .pendent therefrom and supported thereby,

or shade therefor, and a tube inclosing said. tion with pipe or hose E, and means for at- 15 burner below the shade or globe and hanging taching it to said tube, substantially as shown and described.

4. In a heating attachment for gas-burners, the combination of a tube D, provided with means for attaching it to a gas-burner, a flexible pipe, E, and means for contractingthe lower opening of said pipe, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination with a gasburner, a globe or shade, a balcony for the globe inclosing the burner, and a flexible tube supported I thereby and depending therefrom to near the fioor of the apartment wherein such fixtures are located for use, substantially as described.

3. The tube D, having slot (1, and provided with means for attaching it to a gas-burner, and a beaded or flaring edge, (1, in combina- \Vitnesses:
