LEROY S. PFOUTS, OF OANTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO ULYSSES S. JOHNSTON AND CHARLES W. KEPLINGER, OF SAME PLACE.

INCANDESCENT VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 648,993, dated May 8, 1900. Application filed July 10, 1899. Serial No. 723,285. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, LEROY S. PFOUTS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Incandescent Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation showing all the parts properly connected. Fig. 2 is a detached view of the generator. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through line 3 y, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the lamp proper. Fig. 5 shows a portion of the burner. Fig. 6 is a view showing a portion of the gas-pipe and illustrating the pivoted arm connected thereto. Fig. 7 is a view showing the generator, feed-pipe, and the gas-conveying pipe, showing the generator in'a reversed position from that shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a transverse view on line w m, Fig. 3. of the generator with the plug removed.

The present invention has relation to incandescent vapor-burners; and it consists in the difierent parts and combination of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar numerals of reference indicate c0rresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents the tank, which may be of any size or kind and from which tank leads the supply-pipe 2, to which supply-pipe is connected the horizontal feed-pipe 3, which feed-pipe is provided with the valve 4. To the end of the feed-pipe 3 is connected the vaporizing-pipe 5, which vaporizing-pipe 5 is provided with the two bores or passages 6 and 7, said passages being of different diameters and are formed of different diameters for the purpose hereinafter described. To the extreme end of the vaporizing-pipe 5 is connected the plug 8, said plug being so located that it will form a chamher 9 at the ends of the passages 6 and 7.

The vaporizing-pipe 5 is provided with any Fig. 9 is an end view.

desired number of fins or bars 10, said fins or bars being preferably located as illustrated in the drawings; but it will be understood that the purpose of said fins, hereinafter described, can be carried out without any particular reference to the exact location and arrangement. It will be understood that by providing the fins or bars 10 they will be heated, thereby increasing the degree of heat in the vaporizing-pipe 5.

The fuel is fed from the su pply-iank through the feed-pipe and through the bore 6,'said bore being the one having the lesser diameter, the fuel being conveyed to the chamber 9, and from which chamber it enters the passage 7, said passage 7 being formed of greater diameter, so as to provide for the increase bulk of the fuel after it has become converted into gas, thereby providing for expansion. After the fuel has entered the passage 7 it is conveyed to the needle-chamber 11, which needlechamber is formed of increased diameter, thereby increasing the size and capacity, and by so doing a reserve supply of fuel, thereby producing a uniform and steady flow into the mixing-tube without any particular reference to the amount of fuel or the regularity of the flow of the fuel from the tank 1.

The mixing-tube or gas-pipe 12 is substantially-ot' the form shown, and, asshown, its upper end is located a short distance away from the needle-chamber l1 and its needle v13, by which arrangement the proper amount 'of air is supplied or mixed with the fuel.

attached the arm 16, the free end of said arm .be understood that a burner of some kind 10o must be employed to carry out the object and purpose of the present invention.

\Vhen it is desired to turn the burner 19, together with the different parts belonging thereto, out of the way or from under the generator, the tube 18, together with the burner, is lifted up, so as to clear its bottom or lower end from the elbow lat, after which the arm 16 is free to be turned upon its pivotal point, said arm carrying and supporting the burner.

It will be understood that when the burner has been turned to one side, as just above described, the lamp will be out from under the generator, at which time said generator can be conveniently heated for the purpose of starting the lamp, and another object-for providing for turning the lamp from under the generator is to provide an easy and convenient way of connecting the mantle 20, chimney 21, and shade 22.

For the purpose of providing, a suitable support for the feed-pipe 3, together with the vaporizing-pipe 5 and its different parts, the mixing-pipe 12 is provided with the post 23, said post forming a support for the parts above named.

It will be understood that the lamp may be supported by the arm or arms 2% or it may be suspended by means of the hook 25.

For the purpose of confining the heat the bell-shaped cone 26 is provided and is located directly 'over the fins or arms 10, said bellshaped cone being supported by means of the post 27, which post is connected to the upper side of the vaporizing-pipe 5.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In an incandescent vapor-burner, a vaporizing-pipe normally located over the lamp, bores or passages of diiterent diameters formed in the vaporizing-pipe, one of said passages communicating with the supplypipe, and the other communicating with the needle-chamber 11 and both of said bores or passagescommunicating with the chamber 9 formed in the vaporizing-pipe, fins located upon the vaporizing-pipe and a needle-chamber communicating with the bore or passage having the larger diameter, and a mixingtube, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In an incandescent vapor-burner, a mixing-tube having pivotally connected thereto an arm provided with an eye, a burner provided with a tube located through the eye and normally seated into the elbow of the mixing-tube, substantially as and [or the purpose specified.

3. In an incandescent vapor-burner, a pivoted arm provided with an eye, a burner to be located through the eye and normally seated into the lower end of the mixing-tube, and the mixing-tube, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
