UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE NEILSON, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN KEROSENE-BURNERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 44,44 1, dated September 27, .1864.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be, it known that I, GEORGE NEILsoN, of Boston, in the county of Sufl'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Kerosene Burners and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a 1-art of this specification, in which- Figure l is a vertical central section; Fig. 2, atop view, with the cap removed and Fig. a perspective view of a portion of the wicktube.
Like parts are indicated by the same letters hall the drawings.
The nature of my improvement consists in extending the deflecting-cone from the base of the case or shell to the top of the wick-tube, for the purpose of passing pure currents of atmosphere directly into the flame, and entirely preventing the escape of gases or vapors into the room.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my improvement, I will now describe its construction and operation.
A is the wick-tube, fastened gas tight into the bottom (I of the shell or case, B, which is attached to the top of a lamp by means of the screw aim the usual manner. That portion of the wick-tube opposite the spur-wheels or lifters G is out out, as represented in Fig. 3, so as to l a e a rectangular strip, e, attached to the in ain body of the tube only at one end, thereby forming a yielding surface or spring, by means of which the wick, whether thick or thin, is always pressed sufliciently hard against said lifter to prevent them from slipping.
In place of the spring 0, constructed as described, it is obvious that various other kinds of springs may be employed and produce the same result.
B is the base of the case or shell, to which the upper portion, K, is permanently attached by indentation, soldering, or brazing.
d is the deck or bottom of the shell, and c is a screw by means of which the burner is attached to the top of a lamp.
ff are small perforations in the side of the base B, through which currents of fresh air pass up into the deflectingcone J, as represented by the arrows in Fig. 1. The conical deflector J (the shape and position of which are shown in Figs. 1 and 2) extends from the base of the shell to the top of the wick-tube, being firmly secured at its bottom to the bottom of the upper portion of the shell K.
m m are small perforations, through which pure currents of air pass up, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 1, and impinge upon the flame.
P is the removable cap, of the usual construction.
M is a spring-fastener for holding the glass chimney in place.
I is the vapor-tube, soldered air-tight to the bottom of the base, as shown in Fig. 1, and extending upward nearly to the top of the wick-tube and deflector, forming the only conductor of vapor from the lamp to the flame, and as this tube extends upward between the wick-tube and deflector, so near to the blaze, all the vapor from the lamp forced by the upward current of heated air impinges directly upon the flame, and consequently can never escape unburned into the room, my invention being in this respect a great improvement over any other with which I am acquainted for a similar purpose.
My burner is very simple, cheap, and pro duces a perfectly inodorous light, it being practically impossible for any unburned gas or vapor to escape into the room-an object never before effectually attained in keroseneburners.
Having thus described the construction and operaton of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
Extending the conical deflector J from the top of the wick-tube down to the base of the shell, and attaching it thereto, substantially as and for the purpose described.
GEO. NEILSON.
