Title: Improvements relating to Burners employed in Incandescent Gas-lighting.
Inventor: BARTLETT FREDERICK GEORGE
Filed: 1897-05-28
Granted: 1898-04-23
Abstract: 13,191. Bartlett, F. G. May 28. Regulators.-Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 23,454, A.D. 1896, whereby a series of burner valves are controlled by one main cock or tap provided with a bye-pass. According to the present invention, the consumption of gas supplied to incandescent burners under varying pressures is approximately governed by weighted cups d, e arranged to slide in a slotted sleeve c, c<1>. When the gas is turned on, the pressure lifts the lighter cup d, Fig. 5, and the gas traverses the apertures a<1>, e<1>, c<2> to the burner. Any increase in the pressure of the gas lifts the heavier cup e, Fig. 6, into contact with the cup d, partially closing or choking the slots c<2>, through the lower ends of which the gas can then only pass. When the burner is not in use, the cups d, e occupy the position shown in Fig. 1, and no gas can pass. Gauze discs f, f<1>, f<2> respectively prevent the gas from emitting a hissing sound, limit the movement of the cup d, and intercept the passage of dirt &c. to the parts d, e, c<2>.
