JOHN GRAHAM, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
TORCH.
SaEEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 535,494, dated March 19, 1895. Application filed August 11, 1894. Serial No. 520,052. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN GRAHAM, of Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Torches, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.
My invention relates to a receptacle for holding an absorbent material charged with a light-producing compound, and consists in a peculiar arrangement of parts by means of which air is introduced into the body of the material and also centrally into the field of combustion, the object being to produce a torch particularly adapted to burn highly inflammable fluids that require a free and abundant supply of air. This object I attain by means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation showing my torch complete. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.
The receptacle A is preferably made of cast metal although wire work would do equally Well, or it may be of metal properly perforated and mounted. The body part of the receptacle A is supported by a hollow neck D which is adapted to be screwed into a socket piece O which may be attached to a pole, rod, or handle as may be desired. An air supply tube E extends from the neck D to the top of the receptacle A passing to the cover B which is perforated. The air supply tube E is perforated as indicated at F-F (Fig. 2) so that air is admitted to the absorbent material S with which the receptacle is filled.
The holes H-H in the socketfpiece 0 admit air to the tube E and through it to the auxiliary tube K. The object of the tube K is to take air from the supply tube E and deliver it into the center of the flame produced by the other parts of the torch.
To use my invention, the cap Bis removed from the part A which is filled with some absorbent material like asbestos. This material should be packed evenly and not too solid so that air may circulate in it and become charged with the vapor arising from the fluid used and thus constitute an inflammable mixture.
After the receptacle is filled, the cap B may be replaced and the constituents saturated with the fluid to be used and the torch is ready for use.
I claim- In a torch, a receptacle filled with an absorbent material, saturated with a combusti ble fluid, and having perforated walls and top, and provided with an air tube adapted to admit air to the absorbed material, and an auxiliary tube adapted to receive air from the first tube, and vapor from the fluid held by the absorbent material and to discharge it centrally into the flame above the receptacle substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony WhereofI have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 9th day of August, A. D. 189i.
JOHN GRAHAM.
