REGENERATIVE GAS=BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 392,527, dated November 6, 1888.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERB/[ANN SOHWIDLIN- SKY, a subject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, residing at Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, technician, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Regenerative Gas-Lamps, of which the following is a com plete specification.

My invention relates to gas burners in which the gas and the admitted air are heated; and the object of my invention is, first, to heat intensely the gas to be burned; secondly, to free it from all impurities; thirdly, to heat thoroughly the admitted air, and, fourthly, to conduct this hot air before and behind the gas-flame.

Moreover, my invention covers a device applied to the chimney-tube, having for its purpose the regulating of the intensity of the annular flame.

The essential new features of my invention are, first, the divided gas-chamber 9, formed by the top plate, a, provided with ribs 1' r, and the bottom plate, b, provided with ribs 9-, the ribs 1- r bearing with their serrated edges upon the opposite plates, a and b, and letting the gas pass through these serrations; second, the serrations of the ribs r 1- decreasing from the inlet to the outlet of the gaschambcr g; third, the chimneytube R, enlarged above the gas-chamber y and passing close to the gasadmitting pipe 1); fourth, the inclined cross-plates w of the chimney-tube It; fifth, the flange a for spreading the flame; sixth, the regulating device fixed to the upper end of the chimney-tube R, and consisting of the semiannular plates a n, Fig. 3,which are connected to each other by means of the right-andleft-hand screw t.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through y y" of Fig. 2 of the new gasburner; Fig.2,a horizontal section through a; 1/ z of Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and 4 are top views of the regulating device, and Fig. 5 shows parts of the annular ribs 1' r.

The gas-chamber 9 consists of the top plate, a, provided with annular ribs r r, and is screwed upon the bottom plate, I), which is also provided with ribs rr. The edges of 50 the ribs 1' r',bearing upon the opposite plates,

1) and a, have serrations through which the gas (No model.)

passes. After unscrewing the plates a and b from each other the serrations of the ribs 1" r can easily be cleaned.

The size of the serrations of the ribs 9" r decreases from the inlet to the outlet of the gaschamber g, so as to throttle the gas passing through these serrations and to heat it in tensely. Besides this, the gas leaves all impurities in the annular compartments formed by the ribs r '1" and enters the burnenpipesf thoroughly cleaned. An annular series"of these burner-pipes f are in connection with the last con'lpartnieut of the gas-chamber g, as shown by Fig. 1.

To the bottom plate, I), of the gas-chamber g is attached, by means of the arms d, the globe holder A, to which the glass globe G is secured. The upper part of the globe-holder A forms the chamber for admitting the air to the flame. Between the cylindrical casing H, covering the burner and the globe-holder A, is an annular space for the admission of the air to the air-chamber L,whcre the air is conducted to the upper part of the burner-pipes 7 5 f. A certain quantity of air passes through the intervals between the burner-pipes f and descends to the flame, while the remainder of the air passes to the outer part of the flame. By this arrangement the air is, especially by means of the burner-pipes], intensely heated before flowing to the flame.

The center of the apparatus is occupied by the chimney-tube B, to the lower end of which is attached a spout, a The spout e ends in a flange, a, serving to spread the flame.

The regulating device secured to the upper end of the chimney-tube It is constructed as follows; The semi-annular plates a a, sup ported by the chimney-tube B, are connected go to each other by means of the rightand-lefthand screw t. By turning this screw it to the right or to the left the plates at and n are made to approach or to recede from each other, and the aperture of the chimney-piece, and with it the intensity of the flame, isthus consequently increased or decreased, The inclined cross-plates w,disposed within the chimney-tube It, prevent dust from falling through the chimney-tube, and catch and collect the 10o soot produced by the flame and regulate the ascension of the combustion-gases.

The gas is conveyed to the gas-chamber '9 through the gas-pipe D,which is connected to the'gas-main and provided with a cut-ofi" cock, 0. The pipe D runs down close to the chimney-tube R, in order to heat the gas to be burned, and serves at the same time to suspend the burner in combination with the rodD.

I am aware that prior to my invention gaslamps with preparatory heating of the gas and the combustion-air have been made. I therefore do not claim such a lamp, broadly; but

WVhat I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a regenerative gas-lamp,with preparatory heating of the gas and the combustionair, the combination of the gas-chamber g with the combustion-air chamber L, plate A, burner-tubesf, with spreading-sheet m, cylinder '0, with plate a, chimney R, with inclined crossbars 20 w, a regulating device, It '6, at the top of the chimney, gas-tube D, and globe G, sub stantially as described and shown.

2. In a regenerative gas-lamp,with preparatory heating of the gas and the combustionair, the combination of the gas-chamber g, be ing formed out of a top plate, a, with ribs r1, hawing saw-like notches,anda bottom plate,b, with ribs 1*,having similar notehes,saidplates being screwed together so that the ribs of one plate touch the other plate, with the combustion-air chamber L, plate A, burner-tubes f, with spreadingsheet m, cylinder 1), with plate a, chimney R, with inclined erossbars' w w, a regulating device, t, at the top of the chimney, gas-tube D, and globe G, substantially as described.

3. In a regenerative gas-lamp,with preparatory heating of the gas and the combustionair, the combination of the lamp-casing, the gas-chamber g, with the combustion-air chamber L, plate A,burner-tubes f, with spreadingsheet m, cylinder 1), with plate a, chimney R, arranged inside thelamp-casing and enlarged at its middle part above the gas-chamber g, inclined cross-bars w w in the same,a regulating device, 15, at the top of the chimney, gas-tube D, and globe G, substantially as described and set forth. I

4. In a regenerative gas-lamp,with preparatory heating of the gas and the combustionair, the combination of the gas-chamber g with the combustionair chamber L, plate A,burnertubes f, with spreading-sheet 1n, cylinder 21, with plate a, chimney B, with the regulating semicircular plates 42 a, and screw t, with right and left handed threads, the inclined cross'bars w w, gas-tube D, and globe G, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
