Granted: 1901-04-06
Abstract: 9745. Beaumont, F. J. May 26. Gas burners, atmospheric.-Bunsen burners are supplied with air through a tube formed as part of, or attached to, the burner, and of such a length as to ensure a moving column of air in the tube. for the purpose of preventing firing back or ignition at the nipple. In the straight form shown in Fig. 1, the tube A, having a number of burner holes B, has a gas inlet D opposite a chamber C, and so arranged as to draw air through the lower longer tube E. In Fig. 3 a ring burner A is shown, having jets B, and a gas inlet D. The air in this case is drawn through an opening G on the further side of a second ring E immediately above the ring A, whereby the air is heated before use. In a burner for gas fires and the like, having a large orifice, the air-supply tube is smaller than the gas burner tube. Such a form is shown in Fig. 7, where the air is drawn through a narrow tube E, by the gas entering at D, into a wide tube A having a large burner B. This combined tube A, E may be pivoted upon a plug H of the gassupply tube I, so that two or more burners may be inclined towards one another to produce a combined flame.
