RESERVOIR FOR VAPOR-LAM Ps.`
SPECIFICATXON forming part of Letters Patent No. 67 6,121, dated June 11, 1901. Application led .Tune 20, 1900. Serial No. 20,979. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB J. BUSENBENZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Reservoirs for Vapor-Lam ps, of
Which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of reservoirs for containing volatile hydrocarbon oils and from Which the oil is automatically fed to a burner, and While my improvements are more particularly adapted for the gasolene reservoirs of incandescent vapor-lamps they are not to be limited to any such specially-limited connection.
Hitherto it has been usual to provide res'- ervoirs of the class to which my invention relates With an outlet-tube extending from the -base or lower part of the interior; but this construction has been found objectionable, particularly in connection With incandescent vapor-lamps employing small burner-openings. The gasolene frequently contains small particles of foreign substances, or corrosion of the interior surface of the reservoir may cause metallic particles to drop therefrom, which When carried through thefeed-tube to the burner-opening will tend to clog the latter or, if burned, may effect discolorationA had for the purpose of cleaning it when de-V sired.
The draWinO shows m f im roved reservoir u ou 1n vertical section.
Ais the body portion of the reservoir, which for purposes ofconstruction may be in two parts, brazed or otherwise secured together at a to form a liquid-tight joint. Extending upward through the base of the body portion is alfeed-tube B, brazed or otherwise.
secured at b and provided at its upper end with a screw-thread c. Fitting the upper en d of the body portion is a cover C, having a central opening d to f1tclosely over the upper end portion of the tube B. The cover is fastened in place by means of a knob or the like'D, which containsa threaded socket e to engage the upper projecting threaded end of the feed-tube.- In the cover is a fillingopening f, provided with the usual screw plugf, and also in the cover is a float device g to indicate when the receptacle is filled. The cover should fit closely upon the body portion of the reservoir and is tightened rigidly in place by means of the knob D. Near its upper end the feed-tube is provided with an opening h for a wick E, which at one end portion rests in the bottom of the receptacle and extends through the opening h down the interior of the tube B, preferably to a point belovsT the base of the reservoir.
The gasolene or other volatile oil iu the res' ervoir is raised by capillary action in the Wick and iiows into the tube, this operation being aided by the siphoningaction due to the extension of the Wick in the tube below the level ofthe liquid in the reservoir. No particles of foreign material which might tend to clog` the burner-opening will rise through the wick E, so that only the pure liquid will be fed into the tube. As the Wick extends to the base of the reservoir, the latter may be emptied of `cleanse the interior from time to time of all such deposits or of other foreign particles that may have found their Way into the reservoir.
.T he removable cover C offers ready facilities for reaching all parts of the interior for the purposel of cleaning the same.
While I prefer to construct my improvements throughout as shown and described, they maybe modified in the matter of details of construction Without departing from the spirit of my invention as defined by the claims.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination with a reservoir for liq- "nid hydrocarbon, of a feed-tube extending through the base of the reservoir and beyond the top thereof and having a screw-thread at its upper end, a cover fitting the top ofthe reservoir having a central aperture receiving the upper end of the tube, a cover-securing IOO device engaging the-thread on the tube, and andv having an opening tting the said tube, Io Y; a Wick in the reservoir entering the tube and and a knob D screwed upon said tube and conducting the liquid to the latter by capiifastening the cover in place, substantially as lary action. set forth. 5 2.
