Inventor: COLEMAN CLYDE JAY
Filed: 1905-07-21
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 15,058. Coleman, C. J., and Coleman, C. W. July 21. Wicks; wick-raising apparatus; signal lamps.- The wick 5 is burnt at a bent-over part, being drawn over a guide-piece or pulley 7 by a float 11 as the oil is consumed, so that the portion of the wick exposed to the flame is continually being changed. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a cylindrical wick 5 is made with an incombustible core and tapers to give an increased cross-section for the passage of oil, as the distance from the oil to the flame increases. The thin end of the wick is attached to the guide-piece 7, then the wick passes over a pulley or rod 9 attached to the float and then over the guide-piece 7, so that the wick is pulled across the slot 8 at twice the rate at which the float falls, or any other form of motion-multiplying mechanism might be employed. Springs 12, 13 press on the wick to maintain the requisite tension, or, as a modification, a weight is hung on the free end. In modifications, (1) a flat wick is employed, passing over a guide-piece, one end being fixed to the float, thus dispensing with the pulley ; (2) the wick is in the form of a wheel 5<e>, Fig. 7, rotated by a cord or wire 5<h> wound on a small drum 5 and attached to the float, the rotary wick being supplied with oil from a fixed wick 19 ; (3) a spring motor controlled by a float, feeds the wick to the flame, or the float is dispensed with and a constant feed maintained by clockwork.
