SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 400,096, dated March 26, 1889.

Application filed May 22, 1888. Serial No. 274,70l. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES PATRICK MA- GENIs, of North Adams, in the county of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Carbureting- Lamp, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which Figure 1 is a central vertical transverse section of my improved gasburner. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on line 5c in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on line 3 y in Fig. .l, and Fig. 4 is a central vertical transverse section of the burner with the chimney and the carbon-receptacle removed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

My invention is an improvement in the class of regenerative gas-lamps having a hydrocarbon-receptacle, through which the gas supplied to the burner is passed, for the purpose of enriching it, and thereby increasing the brilliancy of the light.

My invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the hydrocarbon receptacle and gas-conducting tubes with reference to the annular or Argand burner ordinarily employed in lamps of this type. The gas supplied to the lamp or burner enters a vertical centrally-arranged tube, A, within whose upper portion, g, is arranged a tube, 1), for conducting the gas upward to the receptacle, whence it passes between the tubes A and Z) downward to horizontal radiatingtubes 0, that connect with the annular vertical burner 13, having exits d. The tube 1) has much less diameter than its inclosing-tube, so that an annular space is left between them, as shown. To the tube A is attached a circular plate, 0, upon which are placed short vertical tubes cf, concentric with the tube A. The top of the tube 6 is about even with the top of the annular burner 13, and the top of the tube f extends a short distance above the said annular burner.

In the tube c is secured a conical ring, D, which inclines toward and projects a short distance above the top of the annular burner 13. The tube 6, below the conical ring D, is

perforated to admit air to the burner, and the tube)", below the burner, is also perforated to admit air to the interior of the flame below the burner. The tube A extends above the partition a and above the top of the tube f, and is threaded to receive the smaller end of the conical receptacle E.

In the receptacle E is axially arranged a tube, g, which corresponds in size with the tube A. The tubes A g inclose the tube 1), and both tubes communicate with the upper part of the receptacle E. The receptacle E is closed atthe top by a screw-cap, E, which is removed whenever the receptacle is to be filled.

To the exterior of the tube 6 are attached springs 72, for receiving the glass chimney F.

The tube A is screwed on in the place of an ordinary burner, and the receptacle E is partly filled with the hydrocarbon, which may be volatilized by the heat from the burner 13. Gas enters the burner through the tube A, passes upward through the tube Z), and is discharged into the receptacle E, where it becomes charged with the vapors of the hydrocarbon contained in the upper part of the receptacle. The gas returns and enters the tube g, and passes down between the tubes g and b to the partitions a, then outward through the tubes 0 to the annular burner B, where it burns at the orifices d, forming an annular sheet of flame, which is deflected outwardly by the conical lower end of the receptacle E. The air entering the lower part of the tube 6 is divided, a portion of it passing upward between the burner B and the conical ring D, another portion passing upward through the tube f, supplying air to the upper part of the flame. Still another portion passes upward between the tube f and the inside of the burner B, supplying air to the base of the flame.

By admitting air to different portions of the flame in the manner described a very perfeet combustion is secured, which permits of introducing a large proportion of carbon into the gas, thereby increasing the whiteness and intensity of the flame, and at the same time economizing gas.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent In a carbureting-lan1p, the combination, with the annular burner, of the conical or (lownwardly-tapeied hydrocarbon-receptacle E, having a removable cap and arranged horizontal tubes c, which connect the burner above and concentric with said burner in the with the lower port on of the outer tube, as described proximity thereto, whereby the shown and described.

flame may impinge on its lower portion, the JAMES P. MAGENIS. 5 two gas-conducting tubes extemling axially \Vitnesses:
