GAS-BURNER.

Be it known that I, LOUIS C. HILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the nume als ofreference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and `which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in

Figure 1 a side view'offa burner constructed in accordance with my inventioii.

This invention relates to an improvement in gas burners, and particularlyto burners having a Ipilot light from whichthe gas may be ignited when turned on.

The object of this invention isto provide convenient means for turning the gas off' and on by a single chain; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.

1n carrying out my invention l have shown a body 2 having a gas passage 3 to a burner a having the usual tip 5, and extending upward from -the body is a pilot G having the usual opening 7. lransversely through the body is a. ta )ered opening 8 in which a plug S) is closely fitted, the plug having a port 10 in line with the gas opening 3, and a pilot port 11 in line with the pilot opening 7. 'lhe openings 10 and 11, however, are at dill'erent angles for the purpose as will hereinafter appear, and extending from the gas opening 3 to a point in Aline with the pilot opening 7 is a channel 12. The plug 5) is held in place in the usual manner by a screw 121, and this plug has a disk 14 having a series of notches 15. Mounted on the outer end of the plug is a sleeve 1G having a flange 17 which is formed with a series of inward projections or lingers 18 t-o engage with the notches 15. The flange is also formed with a cup-shaped recess v1S) which is connected by-a channel 2() with a perforation 21. Mounted on the sleeve is a spiral spring 22 one end of which isixed Specification of Letters Patent.

to the disk and the other end to the body. Secured to the outer end of the plug is a cap plate 23 having a collar 24 which partially incloses the spring, the collar being divided to clear the end 25 of the spring which extends downward into ,engagement with Athe. body. Secured to the disk is a chain 26. This chain is of ball type one end being adapted to be passed through the perforation 21 and into the cup-shaped recess 1.) and so as to be held therein, the chain extending from the disk over the collar ,24 and downward to any convenient point. Attached to the body is a tlat sprin 27 which 70 ,engages with teeth 28 in the et ge of the `disk 14.

Around the plug S in line with the pilot opening 11 is an annular groove 29. If the plug S is vturned vtoshut ott the tlow of gas to. p the burner, gas .may tlow through the passage 12, and escaping around the groove 29: will supply the pilot (l with sutlicient gas to maintain a small flame. A pull upon the chain 26 `will give the plug a quarter'turn 80 bringing the port 10 into line with the supply of gas so as to permit it to pass to the burner. The openings tl11ougl1""the plug, however, are so arranged that just before the port l() comes in line with the passage 3 85 the pilot opening 11 will come in line with the passage 12 and the opening 7 to the pilot so as to furnish a free discharge 0f gas through the pilot, which will cause the flame to .shoot up and ignite the gas as it escapes from the burner ltip Upon releasing the chain 2G. the spring will react to return the tlange 17 to its former position, this liangc being free to ride over the disk'14 in one direction and to engage with it when turned in the opposite direction, the spring 22 holding the. iiange. in engagement with the disk. k

To extinguish the light, the chain is givenY another pull which will give the plug a quarter turn so as to turn the port 10 out of line with the passage. 3, and thus cut of the Supply ot' gas. which supply, however, is continued ,to the pilot. The plug, therefore, is always turned in the same direction, the one pull of the.' chain opening to the burner, and the nextpull closing it. Thus gas may be turned ou and ott' by a single chain.

1. A gas burner including a body; burner 11 tip and pilot, a. plug mounted in said body for rotation therein and formed with a port adapted to be turned in line with the gas opening and a port in l1ne with said pilot,

-a disk secured to said plug and formed with notches, a flange mounted on said plug and formed wlth progections to engage With the notches in the disk, a spring connected with the flange and with the body and adapted to turn the flange, and a chain coupled With the flange by which it may be turned.

2. In a gas burner, the combination with a body, burner tip and pilot, passage through the body to the burner and to the pilot, a plug mounted in said body and formed with independent ports opening to the burner and to the pilot, said ports being out of line with each other', said plug formed with an annu lar groove in line with the pilot port, and means for turning the plug.

3. In a burner, the combination with a body and burner, passage through the body to the burner, a plug mounted in said body and formed with. a port adapted to be turned into line with said passage, a disk carried by said plug and formed with a series of notches, a flange mounted on said plug and formed with a series of projections adapted to engage with said notches, a cup-shaped recess in said disk, a ,perforation adjacent tliicreto, and a passage connecting theisame,

a ball chain one end of which is adapted to be entered through said perforation andl passed into said cup-shaped recess, a spring arranged to return said disk to its normal position against the action of said chain.

4. Aburner comprising a body, burner and pilot, a plug adapted to cut off the supply of gas through -said body and provided with independent ports for the burner and pilot, a disk mounted on said plug, a spring-finger secured to the body and preventing the rotation of the disk in one direction, a flange mounted on said body and adapted to engage with said disk whereby the disk may be rotated in one direction, a chain connected with the flange and adapted to turn the same in one direction, a spring connected with the ange and with the body and adapted to t-urn the flange in the opposite direction, a plate secured to said plug and formed with a Collar partially inclosing the said spring.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
