means for heating the body of gasolene inthe reservoir by passing heated gas through a pipe therein, thereby expanding the body of gasolene and facilitating the flow of gasolene through the feed-pipe tothe gas generatoror vapori'zer.

A further object of our invention is to effect improvements in the construction of thegas4 generator or vaporizer.A

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis partly a sectional View and partly an eleva- Y tion of a gasolene-gas-generating apparatus' embodying our improvements. Fig. 2 is adetail sectional View of the gas-generator. Fig.

3 is a perspective View of a modified formofvv our invention. The gasolene-feed pipe 1 leads upwardfro a gasolene-reservoir 2,'V the lower endofthe 'said pipe being submerged in the body of the: gasolene in said reservoir, and at the upper end ofthe said pipe is a circular generating or vaporizing chamber 3,1 the said pipe com-u` municating withthe central portion of said chamber on the lower side thereof. Thegasservice pipe 4 is coupled topa gas-pipe 5, which' leads from the .upperside of the generatingchamber and on which is supported ahori'-v zontally disposed concavo convex shield 6;-

A needle-valve 7 is disposed in the :pipe 5. A

gas-pipe 8 leads from one side of the Vaporizing or generating chamber-and;is'provided,

with a needle-valve 9, the pintof'whichis disposed opposite the mixing-tube or intake 10, that leads to an annular space 11, formed between the outer circular casing 12 and the perforated interior tube 13, which constitutes the subiiame-burner 14. Said burner is\di`s posed concentrically on the feed-pipe 1, the

service pipe which leadsj to the burner. fportion ofthe gas'or vapor passes through the pipe Saudis directedby the needle-valve `9 'through' the mixing-tubevlO into the annui bottom plate -15 ofy said sublame-burner being supported on a ring 16, which is adjustable on the pipel and may be secured thereon'by any suitable"meaus, a screw 17 being here shown for ,this purpose. A drip-cup 18, to contain gasolene for initially heating the generating apparatus and burner, is supported by the subliame-burner and disposedA under'thepipe S. Any suitable means may be the' gas- A pipe18a1eads'from the gas-service pipe 4 .'throughthe body of gasolene in the reservoir 2. The functionof the said pipe 18 is to ciriculate hot gas Vfrom the gas service pipe through the bodyof the gasolene to heat the latter, expand the'same, and facilitate the iow thereof from the gasolene-reservoir to the generator.V A suitable air-compressor, which is indicated diagrammatically at 19 in Fig. 1,is connected tothe upper portion of the gasolene reservoir and serves to compress air 'above the body of gasolene in the reservoir,

andthreby cause the gasolene to be fed to the generator `or vaporizer, as will be understood." The gas-service pipe leads to suitable illuminating-'burners 2l. The operation of our invention is as follows: The generator and subflame-burner being iirst initially'heatedin the usual well-known manlner orin any other suitable manner, the gasolene v'is converted f into A gas l orvapor in the chamber 3 and passes therefrom into the gaslar space in the subflame-burner lformed between the outer casing 4thereof and the perforated tube 13. y, As Ythe gas is discharged 'through the'mixing-jtube into the subiiameburner.,whichfsurrounds the feed-pipe 1 it is eommingled with air and rendered combustible and on being ignited dischargesra ,plu-

.rality of jets inwardly against the'upper portion of the pipe 1, thereby heating-the said pipe, and as the generating-chamberfisdirectly above the subflame-'burner said generating-chamber is also directly heated on its lower side, the upper side of said generatingchamber being heated by radiation from the Shield 6.

In Fig. 3 of the drawings we show a modified form of our invention, in which the reservoir is a vertically-disposed tank having a false bottom 2 ata suitable distance from the lower end thereof. The generator and subflame-burucr are placed on one side of the tank and at a point lower than the false bottom 22 and the feed-pipe l leads downward from the body of gasolene to the generator, the weight of the body of gasolene and the hydrostatic pressure thereof being utilized in feeding the generator. In this form of our invention the tube 1Sa (shown in Fig. l) is dispensed with, and the service-pipe fi leads from the generator into the tank and upward through the body of gasolene or other liquid hydrocarbon therein and its heat utilized to raise the temperature of the body of liquid hydrocarbon, as will be understood.

While our improved apparatus has been hereinbefore described as efficient in generating gasolene-gas for illuminating purposes, it will be understood that the gas generated thereby may also be used for heating and cooking purposes in common wood or coal stoves.

'llhe shield 6, in addition toits function in reflecting heat downward on the vaporizingchamber, prevents the :ignition of the gas from the subaine-burner.

Having thus described our invention, we claim- 1. In a gasolene-gas generator, the combination of a generator, a feed-pipe leading thereto, a subliame-burner in operative relation to said generator, a shield over the latter, and a service-pipe having its inner end disposed opposite the discharge of the generator and above said shield, substantially as described.

2. The combination of a generator, a reser voir for gasolene, a feed-pipe leading from said reservoir to said generator, a subflalneburner disposed under the generator, a shield above the latter and through which the vapor discharge of the generator passes, and a service-pipe, having its open, inner end disposed above said shield opposite and above said vapor discharge of said generator, said service-pipe passing through the body of gasolene in the said reservoir, substantially as dcscribed.

In testimonythat we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
