Letters Patent No. 98,824, dated January 11, 1870.

' IMPROVEMENT .IN 'jVAPOR-BURNERS.

The Schedule referred' to in these Letters 'at'ent and. making part o: the same.

To all whom 'it may can-eem:

Be it known that I, HENRY WELLINGTON, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new4 and improved Vapordurner; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appert-ains,

to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specihcation, I in which- Figure'lis a longitudinal vertical section of my improved vapor-burner and generator;

Figure 2 is a chamber;

Figure 3 is a similar view of the heating-bell; and

detachedplan view of the mixing' Figure 4, a plan view of the"generatingchambei;`

tor.

It consists, further, iu the combination of the perforated shield with the generator and vaporizing-iiame, and the method of holding the shield in position.

It consists, lastly, in the method of supplying heated air to the mixing-chamber, from the heat-conducting bell, and in the combination of part-s of the burner, `as will be hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings- A is the vaporizer or'gas-generator, composed of a short metal tube, having a closed top, and fitting, at

its lowerend, within the pipe-joint or coupling B.

To the upper end of the vaporizer is attached, by a screw-connection, a chamber, C, in which the gas re ceived from the vaporizer, through theopening a in its top, is mixed with oxygen entering at l, through the lower open end of said mixing-chamber, instead of at the side, as in the. ordinary burner, whereby greater force is obtained to the iiow of gas from the 1 generator.

D is the gas-burner, carrying the tip E, and attached to the upper side of the mixing-chamber, in

line with the Opening b in the latter, as clearly shown` I in iid. 1.

Fais a globe-stand, applied 'to the' burner I) in the usual manner.

G is a short lateral tube, formed .upon the vaporizer A, and communicating with the same.

' This tube is provided, upon its upper side, with a smallo1ice,c,which is increasedor diminished in' size by means of the regulating-screw Hf I is a bell Or-deflector, placed upon the vaporizer, above the lateral tube Gr,'and adjusted higher or lower, with relation to said tubeby means of the collar or nut J.

The operation of my improved vapor-burner is as follows:

The vaporizer or gas-generator A is filled with gasoline from any suitable supply, by turning the cock K -in the pipe-coupling B.

The cockis then shut Oii, and the oil ignited at the opening c in thelateraltube G The ame produced at this point heats the metallic bell I, which communicates its heat to the generator, for vaporizing the oil'contained therein. 1

When the gas-generator has become suciently heated, the cock K is again opened, and the supply of oil continued'indenitely. A

The gas escapes from the generator, through the opening a' in its top, into the mixing-chamber, and is there mixed with oxygen, through`the opening b in I said chamber, as previously mentioned, and discharged through the tip Ein the usual manner.

To preserve a uniform temperature in the gasgenerator, which is best calculated to produce perfect generation or vaporization, the bell I is made 'adjustV able upon the generator, and can, therefore, be moved nearer to or further fromthe flame at c, 'according as the volume ei' said iiame is increased or diminished by the regulating-screw H.

To protect said flame from sudden gusts of air, I have provided a foraminated cylinder, L, which is placed around the generator' A, outside the vaporizing-iame, and supported upon one side by the screw. H, as shown,

and upon the opposite side by being clamped to the lateral stud M, formed upon the geueratoil A, by means of the clamping-screw N.

d is a small opening, formed inthe bell I, near its top, and in line with the opening bin the mixingchamber. Y

rIhis opening d is designed to permit the escape'oi` a current oi' heated'air, from the `interior of the bell, to the mixing-chamber, for the purpose of increasing the supply of oxygen to the flame of the burner.

I do not conne myself to the precise f'orm oi' burn-er shown, as an argand or a straight burner may be employed with equal effect, and without departing from the spirit ot' my invention.

Having thus described my invention,

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

1. The mixing chamber C, constructed and arranged, with relation tothe generator A, substantially as herein shown.,

2. The adjustable bell I, in combination with the generator A and Vaporizing-'lane, substantially as described, for the purpose specied.

3. The perforated shield L, held upon the generator A by means of the vaporizing-tube G, screws H N, and stud M, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

4. The perforated adjustable bell I, in combination with the mixingchamber C, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

5. The combination, with the generator A, of the mixing-chamber C, adjustable bell I, vaporiziug-tube G, and perforated shield L, substantially as here-in shown and described, for the purpose specified.
