Patented Dec. 18, 1906.

TO all whom it may conccrn:

Be it known that I, lVILLL-&M H. BRADLEY, of Bellevue, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Gas-Pro ducer,

of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional plan view of a gas- Io producer embodying my invention, and Fig.

2 is a vertical central section with the upper portion broken away.

My invention is an improvement upon the gas-producer described and claimed in my Patent No. 801594, of December 19, 1905, the object being to provide means of simple and effective character whereby the distribution of air, orair and steam, within the producer may be more thoroughly regulated and controlled.

YVith this ob ect in view my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all substantially as herein described, and poiuted out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, 2 designates the masonry shell of the pro ducer, and 3 the lining thereof. Beneath the shell 2 is a water-trough, adapted to contain water and to constitute a water seal. Across this trough at its central portion is preferably a wall or partition 5, which is ot' inverted-V shape in cross-section and which is adapted to shed the ashes toward the end of the producer in the direction in which the trough extends. Above this wall or partition 5 and at right angles thereto are located the wind pipes or chambers 6 and 7, supported by cross-girders 8 and perforated 'for the discharge of air and steam into the producer.

As thus far described the Construction and arrangement is similar to that shown in my said patent.

In accordance with my present invention each of the wind pipes or chambers 6 and 7 is divided longitudinally throughout its length by a vertical partition-wall 9, so that each Wind box or chamber consists of two entirely separate and distinct parts, both of which have perforations leading into the producerchamber 10 designates supply-pipes, one of which communieates with each portion of each of the wind pipes or chambers and by means of which the supply of air and air and steam delivered thereto may be separately and independently controlled.

By means of this improvement it will be apparcnt that the supply of air to every part of the producer may be regulated and such distribution thereof obtained as will secure the most effective result in the operation of the producer.

/Vhat I claim is 1. A gas-producer having wind-pipes eX- tending across the chamber, each pipe comprisi ng parallel eXtending wind chamb ers with air-discharge openings in their tops, and separate connections for supplying air to each of the chambers; substantially as described.

2. A gas-producer having wind-pipes eX- tending across the chamber, each pipe comprising parallel eXtending wind chambers with air-discharge openings in their tops and sides, and separate connections for supplying air to each of the chambers; substantially as described.

3. A gas-producer having a plurality of transverse wind-pipes therein, each pipe having a partition dividing it into parallel chambers, each chamber having top openings through its length, and separate connections for supplying air to each chamb er of the windpipes; substantially as described.

4. A gas-producer having a plurality of wind-pipes extending across the producerchamber, each pipe having an open bottom entering a water seal beneath the producer 'and comprising parallelextending windchambers with upper air-discharge openings, and separate pipe connections 'for supplyng air to each chamber of each pipe; substantially as described.

5. A gas-producer having a plurality of wind-pipes eXtending across the producerchamber, each pipe having an open bottom entering a water seal beneath the producer and comprsng arallel -extendng Wnd- I In testmony Whereof I have hereunto set chambers With upper ar-dscharge openings, my hand. pipe connectons for supplyng air to each chamber of each pipe, said connectons being 5 located respeotively at opposte ends of the witnesses:

tWo ohambers of one ppe; substantally as GEO. B. BLEMING, described. JOHN MILLER.
