LEONARD PAGET, OF NEW' YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOROF ONE-HALF TO CHARLES J. KINTNER, OF SAME PLACE.

BUNSEN GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION :forming` part f Letters Patent N0. 425,246, dated April 8, 1890. Application died June 20, 1889.. Serial No. 315,018. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEONARD PAGET, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have made a new and useful Invention in Gas-Burners, of which the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, constitutes a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates particularly to improvements in gas-burners of that type Vknown as the Bunsen burner, or such as are designed to produce intense heat; and my object is to devise an improved form of this type of burn er in which the shape or contour of the iiame may be regulated to suit the requirements for which it is designed to use the burner. I accomplish this object by the apparatus hereinafter described, but particularly pointed out'in the claims which follow this speeiiication.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a vertical sectional view of a Bunsen burner with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the burner, showing the iinprovement; and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken through the body of the burner.

A is the base, of Well-known forni,carrying the burner B, provided with usual air-inlet holes and a gas-distributer b, said burner being connected by a pipe t-o the supply of gas in the usual manner. The device thus far described is of well-known construction.

C is a vertical rod, preferably screw-threaded at its lower end and held in position by a nut, which is secured to the inner walls of the burner B, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the body of said nut having sufficient bearing to hold the rod C in a central vertical position. Two or more of such nuts located at some distance apart may be used, if preferred, in order to give vertical alignment and rigid support to the upright rod C.

e is a batiier or button, either rigidly attached to the rod C or adapted to a slide thereon, as preferred. If the lower end of the rod C is not screw-threaded, as shown, butis held iixedly in position, this batlier or but-ton is then adapted to slide vertically upon said rod.

D is a funnel-shaped collar slitted at its lower end by slits d, so as to be adjustable scribed.

up and down upon the exterior surface of the burner B.

The arrows at the top of Fig. l of the drawings indicate the direction of the flow of the gas between the funnelshaped collar and the bafer or button e. By this arrangement of the adjustable collar and baftier the direction of the iiame at the top of the burner is y changed as desired,so that it may assume va- 6o rious contours. By adjusting the relative positions of these two parts I can, if desired, produce a cylindrical iiame having considerable length and intense surface heat, thereby destroying the central core of the iiame now found to exist in an ordinary Bunsen burner, and which, therefore, for many applications, as in incandescent gas-lighting, is useless, the heating of such central core being wasted. The contour of the iiame may be so changed 7o by this combination of adjustable elements as to inii uence its position to suit the varying requirements.

I do not limit myself to any special forni or shape of the adjustable parts herein shown and described, as I believe myself to be eutitled, broadly, to a burner of the type re ferred to, in which a baiiier or button e is adjustablevertically, or to a burner which is provided with an adjustable 'fianie-delieeting 8o collar, or toa combination of the two.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent of the United States, is

l. In a gas-burner of the Bunsen type, the combination of a baflier or button supported above t-he center of the burner with a vertically-adj ustable deiecting-collar located at the top of the burner, substantially as de- 2. In' a gas-burner of the Bunsen type, the combination of a vertically-adj ustable baffler or button with a vertically-adjustable deflecting-collar located at the top of the burner, substantially as described.

3. In a gas-burner of the Bunsen type, the combination of a rod secured adjustably to the interior of the burner and carrying a bafier or button at its upper end with an adjustable collar or defiector located at -the top roc of the burner, substantially as described.

4. In a gas-burner of the Bunsen type, the

- combination of an adjustable baler or butcombination of a baiiier or deiiecting-button adj ustably secured to the interior Walls of the burner with a funnel-shaped deecting-collar having a cylindrical bearing-surface about the upperend of the burner, which cylindrical y surface is Slitted, whereby it is rendered adjustable, substantially as described.
