GAS-BURNER TIP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,527, dated July 12, 1887.

Application filed August 13, 1886. Serial No. 210,776. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDDY T. THOMAS, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burner Tips, of which the following description, in connection with the accompany ing drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a gas-burner tip of such construction that the parts thereof may be struck up from sheet metal by dies or molds, the tip being in two hollow sections, which may be very cheaply manufactured and which can be separated when it is desired to clean the burner.

Figure 1 shows one of my improved gasti s. or barrel 0. Fig. 3 is an enlarged tip, showing the formation of the slot d,- and Fig. 4 is an inside view of section t, showing the formation of the enlarged hole or concave at the top of the burner.

A, Fig. 1, shows my improved tip, consisting of two hollow sections, Z and f, between which, at the upper end of the tip, is the slot (Z, formed by offsetting or reeessing the metal 'at the upper ends of the said sections at the time the blank is made in the mold, press, or cut afterward. The slot (1 is for the gas to es cape from when in use. I form lugs m and corresponding recesses, a, on the contiguous edges or faces of the sections, these lugs and recesses serving to prevent one section from being forced below the other when the tip is put in the barrel or pipe. I also form in my dies ridges to indicate the size of the-burner. (Shown by lines 0.)

A, Fig. 2, represents the tip when in the barrel or pipe 0. The round walls of the tip and barrel being tapered, the sections of the tip are forced together as the tip is pressed down, so that no gas can escape from the see Fig. 2 shows-the tip as held in the pipe tional line 6 except at d, which is for the purpose of allowing the gas to pass out.

A, Fig. 3, is an enlarged tip, and shows the offset or depression, to form the slot (1, to be on one section 75, instead of being equally divided on both, as in Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 shows the enlarged hole or chamber of the tip at 1), formed by setting the top of the metal off, as at s. This allows more space in the hole at P, causing the flame to spread in an even and round shape, and checks the gas from spreading at the lower part of the burner. This is an important feature in all tips provided with the slot.

I intend to manufacture, by the aid of dies and forms, my tip from sheet metal; but, aside from metals, I may mold the sections from clay, glass, or earthy substance, which will make a practicable tip, as it can be readily seen that the tip can be produced by this method at a very low cost.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A gas-burner tip consisting of two longitudinal hollow sections having lugs and recesses at their contiguous edges or faces for preventing one section from slipping on the other, substantially as set forth.

2. A gas-burner tip consisting of two longitudinal hollow sections, the faces of which are contiguous or abutted, one section having a recess and the other a lug at their contiguous edges, and one or both of the sections being offset from the dividingline between the said abutted faces at the top to form a slot, (1, for the escape of the gas, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDDY T. THOMAS.
