'Application 'filed March 7, 1900. Serial No. '7.697. (No model.)
To all whom. t may concern,.-
Beit known that I, CHARLES W. ATKINSON, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of Hudson, in the county of Lenawee and State of Michigan, have invented certain newr and useful Improvements in Carbureters, of which the following is a specification. v
My invention is an improvement in means for generating gas from gasolene, naphtha, or liquid hydrocarbons for illuminating or other purposes, such as heating and cooking. u
My improvement comprises a horizontal gas-generating tube with which an oil-supply pipe is connected, a pendent gas-generating tube having an upper Valve and supporting a horizontal burner-pipe having aseries ofholes located beneath the horizontal gas-generating tube and controlled by a piston or plunger adapted to be adjusted within the burner-pipe to admit the gas to the number -of holes desired, a valve-housing secured to the lower end of the pendent gas-generating tube, having a lower valve, a pivoted initial heating-,cup suspended from the housing and adapted to project 'in front of the outlet of l the lower valve, a vertical feed-pipe' having a receiving or commingling pipe extending in line with the lower valve, a drip-reservoir located at the lower end of the feed-pipe, and a storage-tank located at the upper end of the feed-pipe, all as hereinafter described and claimed.
In order that my invention may be fully unf derstood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in whichg Figure 1 is in part a side lelevation and in part a section of my improved carbureter. Fig. 2 is avertical section thereof on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.
1 is ah'orizontal gas-generating tube formed with a central bore la, with an upwardly-extending collar 1b near the inner end of the bore 1, containing an inlet-opening 1G. The tube is also formed with a downwardly-extending collar 1d near the outer end of the bore l, containing an outlet-opening 1e.
3 is a screw-plug for closing the bore la, while permitting, on its removal, access to the bore 1a for the purpose of cleaning the latter of any obstruction to the passage of liquid through the bore la.
ing tube is secured to the down wardly-extendi v ing collar 1d of the horizontal gas-generating tube 1. i
5 Vis an upper valve extending across the passage 4e in the pendent gas-generating tube 4, having a conical end 4f conforming to the conical valve-seat and controlling the iiow of gas through the jet-opening 4d.
To the lower end of the pendent 'gas-generating tube 4 is secured a valve-housing 6,'
having a vertical extension 6 of the 'passage 4e, a horizontal jet-opening 6", and a cyling i drical valve-seat 6c intermediate of the extension 6a and the jet-opening 6b. y
7 is a lowervalve having a cylindrical body 7 a Vextending across the passage extension 6a into the cylindrical valve-seat 6c and provided with a needle 7b,controllingthe jet-opening 6b. Formed on the valve-housing 6 is a pendent `lug 8, and to this lug is pivoted, by means of a pivot-pin 9, a swinging initial heating-cup 10, having an upwardly-projecting lip 10a located inl advance of the jet-opening 6", so as to conduct oil into the cup 10 from this jetvopening for the initial heating of the burner.
This upwardly-projecting lip 10a, with the heating-cup, is 'adapted to be swung out'of the way of the jet-opening 6b to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 when gas commences to iiow from the jet-opening 6b.
11 is a horizontal burner-pipe locatedbel neath and adjacent to the horizontal gas-gen-` erating tube l and having `a 'series of gasholes 11n and 'secured to the burner-socket 4b of the collar 4 of the pendent gas-generating tube. Within the horizontal burner-pipe l1 is a piston or plunger 12 for closing or open-` ing the gas-holes for regulating the heating of the oil for converting it into gas according to the demand on the carbureter to supply the number of gas-lights or heat actually in use. This piston or plunger is adjusted in the burner-pipe by means of a rod 12a, having a handle 12".
Mounted on the inner end of the horizontal gas-generator tube 1 is a vertical combined gas and air feed pipe 13, to which is connected a horizontal combined gas and air receiving pipe or commingling tube 14, located in line with the lower valve 7 and receiving' the gas flowing from the jet-opening 6l and atmospheric air injected thereiuto by the stream of gas. To the lower end of the vertical feed-pipe is secured a bulb or reservoir l5, providing a drip-cup having a small opening 15, with which is connected a pipe 16, through which condensation is permitted to escape. This pipe is controlled by plugvalve 16,
Surmounting the vertical feed-pipe 13 is a gas-storage tank 17, from which commingled gas and air continues to rise to the gas-lights after the supply of liquid is cut oit` at the generator, so that the lights of a house or other building will still burn for a time to give light while the structure is being closed for the day, it being understood that the gaslights are located at a greater height than the carbureter.
18 is a pipe-coupling whereby the storagetank is iixed removably to the vertical gas and air feed pipe. In actual use the storagetank would be of larger capacity than that indicated in the drawings with respect to the size of the generator.
19 is an inverted-U-shaped shield for the horizontal gas-generator tube and burnerpipe, while 2O is a similar-shaped shield for the lower valve-jet opening and receiving or com mingling pipe.
The piston or plunger in the burner-pipe is for the purpose of opening or closing the holes in the burner-pipe to accommodate the number of illuminating-jets in use-as, forinstance, if it is desired to use ten lights or jets it is not necessary to generate more gas than the ten lights or jets-will consume, whereas if twenty or more lights or jets are used it will be necessary to generate more gas, which is accomplished by sliding the piston or plunger outward, thereby increasing the number of dames playing upon the horizontal generating-tube, and therefore the capacity of generation will be increased. Thus a small and large capacity is combined in my generator.
The surmounting tank provides means for storing the combined gas and air, so that when the generator is turned 0E in a building instead ot' the lights or jets going out immediately the contents of the tank still rise and feed the lights or jets, so that they will continue to burn and give sufcient illumination for a time to allow for closing up the building and getting out before the lights go out.
The shield 19 is for the purpose of protecting the iiames issuing from the burner-pipe holes from unavoidable drafts of air. This shield fitting over the horizontal generatingfeet below the lights or jets, and the storagetank is placed about one foot or one foot and a half above the receiving or commingling pipe. Thus it will be seen that the storagetank is a number of feet below the lights or jets.
To operate the carbu reter, the valves being closed and the shields in place, the shields are removed, and the lower valve is opened, so as to permit oil to pass down the lip into the cup, where the oil is ignited. As soon as gas begins to flow the upper valve is opened, thus admitting some of the gas to the burner-pipe, where it is ignited as it issues through the burner pipe holes. The cup being tilted backward, the main body of the gas is discharged from the lower valve into the receiving or commingling pipe,causing atmospheric air to be injected therewith. The shields are next replaced.
Having thus described my invention, the following' is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
