Abstract:
A fuel gas supply system for a gas burner comprising:(a) a fuel gas cylinder defining an inner chamber for storing a liquid fuel, said fuel gas cylinder having a guard formed at a top portion thereof;(b) a connector assembly coupled to said top portion of said fuel gas cylinder and disposed within said guard, said connector assembly having formed therein:a gas outlet having a gas output passage hole extending therefrom, said gas output passage hole communicating with said inner chamber of said fuel gas cylinder for guiding the escape of fuel gas therefrom;a rotary fuel gas output control valve coupled to said gas outlet for selectively controlling the escape of fuel gas through said gas output passage hole;a gas inlet having a gas input passage hole extending therefrom, said gas input passage hole communicating with said inner chamber of said fuel gas cylinder for guiding the introduction of air into said inner chamber;a rotary gas input control valve coupled to said gas inlet for selectively controlling the introduction of air through said gas input passage hole;(c) a pump mounted to said guard of said fuel gas cylinder, said pump being coupled to said gas inlet of said connector assembly for generating a pressurized flow of air, whereby upon introduction into said fuel gas cylinder inner chamber the air mixes with the liquid fuel stored therein to generate fuel gas; and,(d) a transparent tube connected between said pump and said gas inlet, said transparent tube including at least one check valve for preventing the flow of fuel gas from said gas inlet, said transparent tube further including a connector configurable between open and closed states, said connector permitting the introduction of liquid fuel into said fuel gas cylinder inner chamber through said gas inlet.
