Description
UNITE STATES PATENT OFFHIEQ S. G. MORRISON, OF WILLIAM SPORT, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,301, dated January 6, 1863.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, S. G. MORRISON, of Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and improved lamp for burning hydrocarbon oils without the use of chimneys, securing more perfect combustion, and preventing smoke; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and letters of. reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in proriding the lamp with a distributing wick-tube or chamber of about three times the capacity in width of the conducting wick-tube to which it is attached, for the purpose ot'va-porizing the oil and to obtain an increased area for the tlame by the extended thin burner, thereby atl'ordin g the gas its requisite amount ot'oxygen for perfect combustion.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I construct my lamp of any desired form and material, and apply thereto a conducting wick-tube, (marked A,) containingthe wick a,
which wick extends up into the distributingchamber to (I d in tube B, which tube is at tached to the conducting wick-tube A, and about three times as broad. On each side of conducting-wick a in distributing-tube B are placed short pieces of wick O 0, corresponding with middleU, the upper extreme end of a.
(l d is the flame-wick, usually a piece of old cotton cloth or muslin, which does not require triinmin \Vhen charred itis picked out and replaced by another muslin rag. The wicks O O (3 need not be renewed at all.
Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The distributing-tube B with the composiie wicks O G G and flame-wick d (Z, in connec tion with the conductingwick A a, so as to lessen the amount of oil raised by capillary attraction to the flame, the amount of wick exposed to the oil-reservoir being about onethird of that supplying the flame, the whole constructed and operating substantially as specified.
' S. G. MORRISON. WVitnesses:
J. F. MEGINNESS, HEPBURN McOLUnE.
