Title: Improvements in Lighting Attachments for Gas Street-lamps and other Gas Burners for Illuminating and Heating Purposes
Filed: 1902-11-24
Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 25,760. Parkinson & W. & B. Cowan, and Chubb, A. G. Nov. 24. Gas burners.- An igniting device, which may be applied generally to gas burners for lighting and heating purposes, is described in connection with the lighting of incandescent street lamps s without opening the lantern. The lower ends a<1>, b of the main burner and pilot-jet tubes extend through the bottom of the lantern and surmount a casing d containing two plug cocks e, f, by which both the main flame and the pilot jet may be extinguished. When the plug e is turned off, a groove e' therein forms a communication between the channels g<1>, e<1>, so that when the lamplighter turns on the cock f by means of the lever k, gas traverses the chamber f<1> and the plug f to the chamber g, and thence to both the jet k' and through the channel e', to the main burner tube a<1>. The gas from the jet h<1> forms with air an explosive mixture in the bell or perforated chamber b<2>, so that when the gas in issuing from the perforated nipple i is ignited by the lamplighter's torch, the explosive mixture flashes along the tube b and ignites the main burner. The cock e is then turned full on, a pin j<5> on the lever j of the cock e tripping the nose k<1> of the lever k and turning off the cock f. The main burner may be subsequently extinguished by turning the leverj without further actuating the lever k. In the construction shown in Fig. 8, the flame from the jet b ignites a second pilot jet n, which in turn lights the main burner a. The tube n may, however, be dispensed with.
