To all whom 'llt '1n/ty concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUs HnILBnoN, a citizen of the United States, residing' at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burning Lamps. oi which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to improvements in vapor-burning lamps, being designed particularly tor vaporizing and burning kerosene; and it consists in the features of construction and combination hereinafter particularly de scribed and claimed.

In the accompanying' drawings, forming part ot this speciiication, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved lamp. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly broken away. Fig. 8 is an enlarged section on line .fr m of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a section on line z/y of Fig. 2. Fie'. 5 is a view looking down upon the burner with the mantles removed, and Fig. 6 is a section on line o n of Fig. 5.

In the drawings, A represents the burnerbase, provided with a pair et' burners 2. Extending through the base A, intermediate et the burners, is a vertical vaporizing-tube 8. The lower end of the tube 8 is connected by a joint 4 with a tube 5, leading toa source o'l supply. The flow of oil through the joint 4 is regulated through the medium of the valvestem 6. Depending from the lower end oi' the vaporizing-tube 3 is a standard 7, which supports the globe (not shown) in any desired manner. The upper end oiI the vaporizingtube opens into the outlet end of the auxiliary tube 8, the upper end of the vaporizingtube being' preferably {illed with suitable porous material 9. Arranged in the vertical portion of the auxiliary tube 8 is a rod 10, said rod extending through the bushing 11, which closes the lower end of the auxiliary tube and being provided on its outer end with' an actuating linger-piece 12. As shown in Fig. 4, the rod 10 is provided with a pin 18, projecting into a curved groove 14 in the bushing 11, by means of which the turning movement of the rod 10 is limited. Carried by the upper end of the rod 10 is a flexible needle 15, the free end of which projects through the jet-opening 16 in the block 17 in the end of the tube 8. In order to guide the flexible needle centrally through the upper curved end of the tube 8, I provide a curved tube 18, provided at its lower end with a cap 19, which iits over the top of the rod 10 and closes the tube 8, as shown in Fig.

3. The upper end of the guide-tube 18 extends into the block 17. A chamber is thus formed within the tube 8 intermediate ot' the cap 19 and the end oi' said tube.

2() represents a comimingling-tube, the upper open end ot which is immediately in front ot' the jet-opening 16 and the lower end of which is connected with the burnerbase and communicates with the burners through the conduit 21.

The lamp is adapted to be supported by a suitable hanger 22, connected with the top of the commingling-tube. Arranged upon each burner is a suitable incandescent mantle 23, supported by a rod 24, secured in a collar 25 by means oi" a screw 26. The collar 25 is held in adjusted position upon the hanger by means ot' a suitable screw 27. Carried by the burner-base, intermediate ot' the burners, is a suitable kindling-pan Q8.

In use the oil is l'ed under pressure through the tube 5, the flow to the vaporizing-tube being' regulated by means of the valve-stem 6. When it is desired to use the lamp, sut- [icient alcohol or oil to start the vaporization of the oil in the vaporizing-tube is placed in the starting-pan 28 and ignited. The vapor generated in the vaporizing-tube passes through the jet-opening 16, the f'low of the vapor therethrough being regulated b v the needle 15. From the jet-opening the vapor is discharged into the free end of the commingling-tube, drawing in with it air, the commingled air and vapor passingthrough the commingling-tube 20 to the burners and into the mantles, where it is ignited. The burners now being-started, the heat therefrom will continue the vaporizing of the oil in the vaporizingtube until the supply oi' oil is shut ofi'. As the vapor passes from tliei-*aporizingtube it will fill the upper end of the auxiliary tube 8, and the vapor thus stored in the aux iliary tube will assist in causing a steady iiow of vapor through the jetopening- It will be noted also that by having the controllingneedle arranged in an auxiliary tube the interior of the vaporizing-tube is unobstructed and more thorough vaporizing oi' the oil is secured.

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

1. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a burner and a commingling-tube communicating with and leading u pwardly therefrom, of a vaporizing-tube IIO vand connected with a source of fuel-supply, a

curved auxiliary tube connected with the upper end of said vaporiZing-tube and discharginginto the free end of the commingling-tube, and a Hexible nee lle-valve arrang'ed in said auxiliary tube for opening and closing the vapor-escape orilice in the end of said tube.

2. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination, with a burner and a commingling-tube communicating therewith and leading upwardly therefrom, of an upwardlyextending straight vaporiZing-tu be supported alongside said burner, an auxiliary tube carried by the free end of said vaporiZing-tube, a flexible needle-valve arranged in said auxiliary tube, and an inclosing' guide for said needle-valve.

3. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a burner, and a commingling-chamber communicating therewith and leading` upwardly therefrom, of an upwardly-extending straight vaporiZing-tube supported alongside said burner, an auxiliary tube carried by the upper end of said vaporizing-tube, the upper end of said auxiliary tube being curved and discharging into the free end of the commingling-tube, a liexible needle-valve arranged in said auxiliary tube for opening and closing the vapor-escape oriice in the end thereof, and a removable guidetube inclosing said needle-valve.

4. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a pair of burners, and a commingling-tube communicating with and leading upwardly from said burners, of a straight vaporizing-tube extending upwardly between said burners, an auxiliary tube carried by the upper end of said vaporizingtube, said auxiliarT tube having a curved upper end and a downwardlyextending straight portion, the upper end of said tube discharging into said commingling-chamber, and a needle-valve for opening and closing the vapor-escape orifice in the end of said tube.

5. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a pair of burners and a commingling-tube communicating with and l leading upwardly therefrom, of a straight vaporiZing-tube leading upwardly between said burners, an auxiliary tube carried by the upper end of said vaporiZing-tube, said auxiliary tube having an inwardly-curved end and a downwardly-extending straight portion, an adjustable rod extending through the straight portion of said tube, and a flexible needle-valve carried by the upper end of said rod for opening and closing the vaporescape opening in the end of said tube.

In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a pair of burners and a commingling-tube communicating with and extending upwardly from said burners, of a straight vaporiZing-tube extending upwardly between said burners, an auxiliary tube carried by the upper end of said vaporizingtube, said auxiliary tube having a curved upper end and a downwardly-extending straight portion and discharging into the upper end of said commingling-tube, a rod extending through the straight portion of said auxiliary tube, a flexible needle -valye carried by the upper end of said rod for opening and closing the vapor-escape orifice in the end of said auxiliary tube, and an inclosing guide-tube for said needle-valve.

7. In a vapor-lamp of the class described, the combination with a pair of burners, and a commingling-tube communicating therewith and extending upwardly therefrom, of a straight vaporizing tube extending upwardlylbetween said burners, an auxiliary tube carried by the upper end of said vaporiZing-tube and discharging into the upper end of said commingling-tube, a needle-valve carried in said auxiliary tube for opening and closing the vapor-escape orifice in the end thereof, and means for partitioning said auxiliary tube to form a chamber in the upper end thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
