UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN MGWILLIAMS, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVED GAS-GENERATOR.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN MGWILLIAMS, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a nen7 and useful lmprovementin Gas-Generators in Combination with a Stove or Heater; and VIdo hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to thelaecompanying drawing, and tothe letters marked thereon.
The nature of myinvention consists in combining with the ordinary heating or cooking stove or heater a gas-generator, constructed, arranged, combined, and operating in the manner hereinafter described.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I'Will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
In the accompanying` drawing, A represen ts an ordinary heating-stove furnished with the gas-generator, (marked 0,) the bottom cof which is made in the form ot' an inverted cone. Near the top of the generator is placed a rack of open-work, (marked f) On this rack is placed lime orother suitable material for the purpose otpnritying the gas as it is generated.
The, generator is furnished with a pipe, (marked 1),) which extends down into the generator near to the coniformed bottom, (marked c.) 0n the upper end ofthe pipe b is a vessel, (marked ha) which is used for supplying the generator with petroleum or other suitable oil for making or generating gas. The pipe b is furnished with a suitable valve, as indicated by the dotted lines marked 1, which is used for the purpose ot regulating the ow of oil into the generator. This valve can be made self-regulating by means ot' a rod attached to the key ot' the. valve, and so arranged that the expansion and contraction of the rod shall so operate the key ot the valve that it will close or open in accordance with the degree of heat used for generating the gas-that is to say, it a high degree of heat is used, then the valve will open in proportion to the heat and will close as the heat becomes low, thereby preventing any accumulation of oil in the generator. Other devices for making this valve self regulating Will readily be suggested to the minds of those skilled in the art. The generator c is furnished with a pipe, (marked 9,) to which may be attached a gas-burner. This pipe is furnished with a valve, (marked 2, shown in dotted lines.) This valve, is used for regulating the iow of gas to the burner. The pipe g may be7 if desired, used for conducting the gas from the generator to a suitable reservoir, from which the gas may be conducted by pipes through the various parts of the house, shop, or other place.
It will be readily seen that in combining the gas-generator with the stove or heater anyof the known appendages can be connected to l it; therefore l do not conh'ne myself to any particular arrangement of vessel for supplying oil to the generator or to any particular mode ot' conducting the gas from the generator.
The operation ot' my improvement is as fol- 1o\ T: Petroleum or other oil is conducted into lthe generator c in very small quantities by means ot' pipe b, and as the oil drops on and oWs down the eonit'orm bottom cot' the gener4 ator c it is by the heat ot the stove converted into gas, Which is conveyed off through pipe g and burned in the usual manner.
The advantages of my improvement consist in furnishinga cheap means t'ormaking a cheap gas for all whovare not within the reach ot'large gas-works.
Having thus described the nature, construction, operation, and advantages ofmy improvement, what I claim as ot' my invention is- Thearran gement ot the stove A, gas-genera tor c, furnished with aconif'ormed bottom, c, rack j', pipes b and g, and vessel m, arranged, constructed, and operating substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.
