IMPROVEMENT IN' LAIIP-BU'RNIRS.

The Schedule referred to ln theetten Patent and :musingpart of the nm..

To all whom it ma/y concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED B mss, of the` State, county, and city of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in B urners foi-Kerosene and other analogous Lamps and I hereby declare thatthe following isafull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the drawing, which. accom. panics and forms a part of this specification..

Of this drawing- Figure 1 is acentral vertical section ofa burner and chimney containing my improvements;

Figure 2 is an elevation of the same burner without the chimney; and

Figure 31's a top view of the burner, showing the ring orbead, which `will be hereinafter described.

In the drawing- A represents the body of a kerosene orother analogons bmiler, which may be constructed in the' usual manner, and may be provided with the wick-tube, cone, air-passages, and other B B are the springs or guides which hold the chimney.

I am well aware that springs of many various forms have long been used in kerosene-burners for securing the chimney, butin all the instances of themjvith which I am acquainted, the operative portion ofthe spring or springs has .been near toer above the top of the body ofthe burner, and the lower edge yof the chimney has also usually been required to be secured b y some part of the burner-body, and has not been held by the springs.

Suchspringsanswer suiciently well for some purposes, but they differ essentially' from my Yimproved coxnbination, and are incapable of effecting the results which I obtain.

By inspection of the drawing, it will be perceived that my springs or guides, instead of originating or commencing, so to speak, at a point below the top of the bodyof 4the burner, and extending up to or above such top, commence at the top thereof, and extend nearly or quite to the lower part of the burner-body, and, instead of having their operative portions at their 'upper ends, have them at their lower ends, thus com pletely reversing the arrangement and mode of operaf.

tion of the springs heretofore used in burners.

By means'of this method of construction, I am enabled to carry out the first and second portions of my appliances customary in suchinvention, inasmuch as' the springs or guides which I employ, when used in connection with a suitable chimney, one convenient form of which is represented in the drawing, not only perform the office of securin g the chin]n ney 1in proper position as firmly as any springs heretofore used in burners can do, but, also, by reason of the fact that the lower edge of the chimney is carried and firmly held by the lower ends of the springs or guides,

as seen in the drawing, without requiring to be'supported by any part of the buruer-body`, enable the lower portion of the chimney to extend, as represented in the drawing, below, more orless, as may be preferred, of the air-passages ofthe burner, and, thereby, to mate rially aid in protecting the fia-me from being injuriously aiiected by currents of air. At the same time there" is a free and ample supply of air aiforded to all parts of the burner, as maybe clearly seen in the drawing, and, consequently, the burner and oil are kept cool; and, as -by my mode 'of construction the lwer end of thechimuey isnot at any time closed up by any part of the burner, but remains constantly exposed directly to the air which circulates freely around it, its base is always preserved in avery much cooler'condition Vthan in any other lamps of this class heretofore known.

This portion of my invention also, as will be seen in the drawing, enables me toemploy a much shorter wick,-

tube, and, consequently, to' place the cone or delectormuch lower than has .heretofore been practicable inv lamps of this variety, and as this result brings the top `of'the wick very near to the contents of the oil-reserjl voir,I amable to fully draw out all the oil therein, and

producing any incon-l burn it advantageously, without venient incrustation ofthe wick.

The ring or bead above referred to constitutes the".

third portion of my invention, and is shown in the drawf ing at c.- When constructed as I prefer, it is formed upon and makes a part of the lower edge or flange olf' the cone or deilector of the burner, audits oilice is to present a surface attached to or connected with the cone, and'projecting suiliciently from the main body mij@ the cone tofenable'some portion of a properly-formed chimney to come in contact with it when the chimneyf is in its proper position, and thereby hold the cone seJ curely down to its place l This result is accomplished in the form of my invention, which is illustrated 'in the' drawing, by making the only a. portion of the circumference'ofthe flange of the cone, or may be formed only at intervals around ouch circumference.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the burner of a kerosene or other lamp, of a removable cone or deilector,A so constructed, that when the chimney and cone or deflector are in position for use, the chimney will rest upon the bead or ring and retain the cone in place, substantially as described.
