Definitions
- My improvement relates to that class of fiatwick lamps provided with a cone or defiector, such as is now in general use, for burning coal or kerosene oil and other such fluids.
- a cone or defiector such as is now in general use, for burning coal or kerosene oil and other such fluids.
- These as hcretofore constructed have been provided with two rows of apertures, or, what is the same thing, one row divided into two parts, for the admission of air into the interior of the lamp-top, the upper row being so arranged as to admit a current of fresh air between the outside of the cone and the inside of the chimney, and the lower row or half so a'rranged as to admit air into the interior of the cone immediately at its lower or bottom edge; the purpose of the first row being to prevent the overheating of the cone and chimney and the creation of a Vaeuum between the chimney and cone by the expulsion of the air on the inside of the chimney by the action of the heat, and for the further purpose of supplying ⁇ air to the
- the second row of holes being arranged immediately at the lower edge of the cone to admit fresh air into its interior with the intention of supplying the requisite amount of Oxygen to the flame by being forced into it by the curved shape ot' the cone.
- the l'amp-top represented in the drawings to which my improvements are applied consists of two principal parts connected together by a hinge, the first. of which is that part of the lamp-top that supports the wick-tube, and which in turn 'is secured to the month of the oil Chamber or body of the lamp by a lnale screw-thread cut on its lower extremity, taking into a female screw-thread cut in the month of the oil Chamber or reservoir; and the second is the burner consisting of the cone o1 ⁇ deflector B and chimney-band A, suitably secured togcthen by means of a flange, n, formed on the lower edge of the cone, taking into a groove formed in the chimney band.
- the lamp-top does not supply the requisite amount of Oxygen to the flame in a suitable and proper manner for the entire consumption of the oil as fast as it is generated into gas or gaseous vapors as, instead of the air being brought into contact with the flame throughout its entire surface, it is merely brought into contact with the latter at its top, the coolest part of the flame, and therefore cooling it still further, which, while it may supply Oxygen, instead of assisting combustion actually diminishes it, and allows a large portion of the gas to escape unconsumed, its temperature being reduced too low to in sure combustion, to remedy which I arrange an air-Chamber, d, immediately below the cone-Chamber g, in this instance between the shell-plate c' and upper plate, e, of that part of the lamp-top to which the wick-tubeis secured,havingoutlets or openings z, communicating with the open air, and other openings,f, in the upper plate communicating with the Chamber 0 of the cone B on the one side and the air-Chamber
- the size of the openings of the air-Chamber eommunicating with the open air should be lessened and their number increased, so as to steady and regulate the supply, and the depth of the chamber, if anything, increased, so as to give time to the air to difi'use itself throughout the Chamber previous to its passage upward into the conechamber above, into which it would thus enter in a difi'used state, cooling the wick-tube in its ascent and in a measure acquiring the requisite degree of beat before mixing with the flame to promote combustion.
