MANTLE-SUPPORT.
SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Tatent No. 680,031, dated August 6, 1901.
Application filed March 23, 1901.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, NELs ELMER ERIOSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Ridgway, in the county of Elk and State of Pennsylvania, have inventeda new and Improved Mantle-Support, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in supporting devices for mantles in gas-burners. It is the usual practice to support a burner-mantle by a wire extended from the base of the burner and along one side of the mantle, and it is well known that when the wire becomes heated it bends and causes the mantle to break, and also the glass chimney is liable to be broken.
The object of my present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned difficulty by providing a simple device that will not be aifected by heat and by means of which the mantle will be supported straight down in the chimney and at all times free from the chimney, thus prolonging the usefulness of the mantle.
I will describe a mantle-s11 pport embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side view of a burner and a supporting device embodying my invention as applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is aperspeetive view of the support.
Extended upward from the base 1 of the burner 2 are the usual rods 3, which near the upper end are connected to the ring 4, the ends of said rods being extended above the ring. The supporting device consists of a sheet of suitable metal folded together and extended upward and inward from the ring. The two members of the sheet of metal which form the supportingdevice 5 are held together by means of a lug 6, extended from one of the sections and bent over the other section, as clearly indicated in Fig. 3. Below this lug 6 a socket 7 is formed, which is designed to engage over the extended upper end of one of the rods 3. Below this socket are oppositely-extended wings 8, which will bear Serial No. 52,668. (No model.)
against the inner side of the ring 4 and prevent the supporting-arm from swinging laterally. The upper ends of the supportingarm are made in the form of jaws 9 and 10, which are designed to clamp a supporting-rod 11 for the mantle". They are caused to clamp tightly against said supporting-rod when adjusted by means of a collar 12, mounted to slide on the arm. As the jaws 9 and 10 are directly over the center of the burner, it is obvious that the mantle supported on the hook end of the rod 11 will be held centrally in the chimney, supported in the frame formed by the base 1, the rods 3, and the ring 4. As the mantle burns away at the bottom,
as sometimes happens, it is obvious that by V V 2. A mantle-support, comprisinga sheet of.
metal folded together and having a socket formed at the lower portion to engage over a rod of the chimney-frame, laterally-extended wings on the lower portion of said support for engaging against the inner surfaces of the frame-ring, clamping-jaws on the upper end of said support, and means for clamping said jaws, substantially as specified.
3. A mantle-support, comprising a sheet of metal folded together, a lug on one section of the sheet of metal and turned against the outer surface of the other sect-ion of the sheet of metal, the said support being provided with a socket at its lower portion, wings extended laterally from the support below said socket, clamping-jaws on the upper end of the support, means for clamping said jaws, and a supporting-rod adapted for engagement with said jaws, substantially as specified.
4. A supporting-arm for-an incandescent mantle adapted for removable connection with the upper portion of the burner-chimney frame and having its upper end turned inward over the chimney-frame and having jaws, a supporting-rod held by the jaws, and means for holding the arm from swinging or lateral movement, substantially as specified.
