Abstract: 22,036. Lake, W. E., [Michaud, G., and Delasson, E.]. Oct. 5. Incandescent gas lamps.-Filaments which can be made incandescent by gas or the like, for lighting and heating, are made by passing horizontally through an electric furnace and thereby bringing to a state of pasty fusion, crude filaments, obtained by pressing a mixture of alumina, magnesia, silica, and lime, singly or in combination, and thoria, ceria, or rare earth oxides, with black soap as a binder. A number of crude filaments are delivered, preferably from a single press M with a row of orifices, on to carborundum plates F, which are fed beneath the press and through a carborundum heating-tube E by projections on an endless band G. An electromagnetically-operated knife cuts the filaments to length, preferably before the heating. The heating- tube E is enclosed at the end remote from the press in an electric resistance furnace, by which the filaments are made pasty after they have been dried in passing along the tube E. Flues H, I are provided for escape of hot air and gases from the furnace. Fig. 4 shows a grating obtained by removing a carborundum plate F and replacing it, turned through an angle, beneath the press M, and Fig. 5 shows a mantle consisting of filaments mounted on a porcelain or similar head R by which they are suspended above a bunsen burner.
