A. \V. SCHARIT, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, L. A. HUDSON, OF SYRACUSE, NE! YORK. AND DARIUS LYMAN, OF IARKMAN, OHIO Letters PatentJV 96,488, dated November 2, 1869.
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC GAS-LIGHTING APPARATUS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letter: Patau. and making part or the same.
To all whom. it may concern Be it. known that your petitioners, A. \V. Scuam'r, of St. Louis, Missouri, L. A. liunsos, of Syracuse, New York, and Dames LYAIAX, of Parkman, Ohio, all citizens of the United States, temporarily residing in Washington, have invented allow and improved mode of lighting and extinguishing simultaumnsly, or nearly so, numerous jets of gas l'orilluminating streets, and public or private placcs, or edifices, by means hitherto unknown, whichwe call the American lho tarciion, being a combination of chemical, electrical, and mechanical devices to that end, in which- First. We use chemical substances or products for producing light, when required to ignite the gas.
Second. \V e use electricity or the electr c-magnet to release machinery propelled by mechanical forces.
Third. \Ve use machinery to bring chemical substances or products ot'a pyrophorous character in close proximity to the gas-burncr, while we cause the isochronical movements of the mechanism so to operate as to turn on and off the several jets of gas, and to ignite the same, by its manipulation of the aforesaid chemicals or chemical products, when released by the eleiatro-magnct for such purpose.
This combination of chemical, electrical, and mechanical threes is so devised and constructed as to effeet the simultaneous or nearly simultaneous lighting and extinguishing of any. given number of gas'jcts to which the same may be adjusted and connected with a battery.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our in vcntion, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
To this end, we have assayed our invention in various ways, some of which are as follows:
Attaching our devices to the ordinary gas-pipes, supplied with carburettcd hydrogen or common illuminating-gas, we use the usual plug-cock, to which, in some instances, we make our connections, as will appear in the several modifi ations hereinafter shown and described. Yet we do not confine ourselves to this form of cock or valve, but would prefer some more ladle-working form, such, ihrinstance, as our elastic chmubcr-valve, as shown in the annexed drawing, and made part of these specifications, as delineated on Sheet l\'o. 1, thus, wherein- -A represents the gas-pipe and burner.
B, in Figure 1, is the flame, attached to thc gas-pipe, and sustaining the spring and gas-litter or elevatorlt will be seen, by the form of the elevator I), that as the valve-lever G i'alls into thedepressions, or rises, the valve will be opened or closed, the stem of the valve being attached to the valve-lever.
In Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7- A represents the valve-stock or pipe, shown in different positions.
Fig. I shows the general appearance, on edge view ot the rubber packing B, also the end of the lever 16 and lever-guide I)".
Fig. 5 is a top view, showing the flange-binding C as lhstencd to the stock or pipe by screws, with the circular opening, showing also the rubber or elastic packing B, and the crossing otthe vzdve-lever E and its guides D D".
Fig. 6 is an end view, showing the valve-lever and its connection with the stem ot'the valve, cc.
Fig. 7 is a top view, with the other parts removed.
The dotted lines H rcprcsentthe. passage, ascending or descending, uniting with or opening into the valvechamber at the oriticc and valve-seat G.
The lines 11- represent the outlet as connected with the orifice I. V
Figure 8 is the valve K, with its guide. L, the olricc of which is to insure its return to its scat.
M is a. button or flange on the 'alvc-stcm, directly under the rubber packing, as represented at it.
The above-described valve is further represented on said sheet, in the first modification of our devices, as follows, (see drawings This modification embraces chemical pyrophori, Honibergs pyrophorus, the pliosphoric-matcli vial, the hydrogen gas, and platinum sponge, or other gas, so manipulated bythc mechanism as to ignite the gas furnished for illumination; thus:
Figures 1 and 2 represent the temporary magnet, T '1, its armatureaa, guide-rod S, and armaturegnides U U. 4
W is a cam, the otlice of which to elevate the bar bearing the platinum sponge-cup, or pyropborous vial C, whichever of these devices may be used to ignite the gas, and also the match-rod D, the upper portion of which, being brought forward, enteis the pyrophorelic magazinmand on its return rests a. time in the current of gas, thus communicating light. Fig. 2 represents the double name-work B B, and the train of gearing H, P, and R, connected by pinions. Thechief object of this tiaiu is to reduce the power of the main-spring or motive-force in all the tbrms, so as to bring the resistance within the capacity of a small clectro-magnctie force to release and control its action.
Figure 3 is an edge view, showing the pipes and valve-stock connected with them, also showing the relative position of the parts.
B isthe frame-work.
C, the case or drum, enclosing the mam-spring or shaft, with which the valve-elevator, or cam-wheel T),
and nmin'whecl of the clock-work, train H working into the pinion l.
K is the second wheel onthe shaft, with pinion I working into pinion N on shaft. with escapcmentwheel I.
Q- is a shaft, to which is attached the wireL, which, rising on the pins in wheel K, relieves the catch-wire, attached to same shaft from the pin or stop in the escape-wheel P, tlrrrs allowing the force of the spring in (J to rotate the cam-wheel D and main wheel of the train H, thus opening or closing the valve, and starting the train of wheels, and also the cam \V, which lifts the bar B, to the upper end of which is the platinum sponge-cup O, or pyrophoretic 'vial, or other chemical substance to light the jet of gas. A pin, V, in the cam W, at the same time acts on the lever I), which carries the match E.
T is the temporary magnet, the action of which is, by its force through the, armature-rod, to release the catch 0 from the shaft Q, thus allowing the machincry to start. The magnetic wheel K lift the lever L, attached to shaft Q, and depress the escape-wire, attached to stone shalt, which, when the escape-wheel comes around, takes holdof the pin in it, at the same time the catch 0 takes hold of the hook in shaft Q, and further action of the ma.- chincry is arrested.
In tig.2, 1* is the hydrogen-gas pipe and jetfor carr-ying that gas to the platinum sponge in cup 0'. To this jet is a rubber hose, or other pipe leading from the gas-holder or generator. This pure hydrogenholder or generator maybe located and the gas generated in the body or base of the post or near the main pipe, or wherever found most convenient.
The wires connecting the magnets and battery may be run above ground, on or above the line; of the rangeof 'street lights, or under ground, as may be deemed expedient, and may be so arranged as to be made available for a. fire-alarm, municipal or local tele-' graphic purposes. 7
Sheet of drawings No.2, hereto annexed, and made a. part of these specifications, represent another modification-of our devices for opening and closing gascocks, and igniting the gas by means of pyrotechnic bands passing over pulleys, and intermittingly or at proportionate and proper distances charged with'pyr'ophorous and combustible material, or continuous chainworkof lucifer-match fuses, carried to the gas-jet by an incomb'nst-ible band passing around pulleys, and the match or fuse being ignited by percussion or friction, said band being made of asbestos, incomhustible cloth, or otlrerflexible material which may be deemed suitable and proper, and properly provided with ribbons or coils of the most approved preparation of match-paper for the end'designed.

Any one of the above devices may be used scpm mtely, or in conjunction with the other, care being taken that the movements of the machinery be made to operate in isochron'ioal precision;
We do not claim to turn on and off, nor-to light gas by electricity; but
What we do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A gas-lighting and extinguishing apparatus, cornbiuing in its construction a series of gear-wheels, to be driven by a spring or weight, a cup or other vessel containing pyrophorous material, a cam for elevating such cup or vessel, a match-rod for inserting the match into the pyrophorous material, and afterward bringing it in contact with the gas-jet, an elastic chambered 'valve for controlling the flow of gas to the burner, and a wheel, having a cam-shuped'or serrated surface, for controlling the movements of such valve, all arranged to operate substantially asand for the purpose set forth.
