ARTHUR GEORGE FOSTER, 76, Upper Kent Street, Leicester, Gas-fitter, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
Improvements in gas burners for stoves grates and the like.
The object of my invention is to prevent noise and back lighting in gas burners
for stoves grates and the like.
It consists of preferably an ordinary metal tubular chamber with holes or
outlets for gas therin, of any desirable shape or size.
Instead of conducting the gas into the said chamber in the usual manner I
form theron underneath the said chamber an addittional chamber or tubular
piece of metal terminating with an air bulb. Into the said air bulb the gas is
conducted.
By this form of construction the usual noise and back lighting is prevented.

Improvements in Gas Burners for Stoves, Grates, and the like.
I, ARTHUR GEORGE FOSTER, of 76, Upper Kent Street, Leicester, Gas Fitter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
-
This invention relates to improvements in gas burners for stoves, grates and
the like and the object of the invention is to obviate the noise and back lighting
which is so frequently a cause of complaint in burners as heretofore constructed.
The invention consists of a metal tubular chamber of any desirable shape and
size and provided with holes or outlets for the gas.
Connected to an extension or pipe on the underside of the said tubular chamber
is an additional chamber or tubular piece of metal forming an air bulb, the gas
being conducted to the said air bulb by a pipe having a stopped end perforated
with holes.
The invention will be fully understood by reference to the accompanying sheet
of drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of
reference indicate like parts throughout the several figures.
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved burner complete.
Figure 2 is a cross vertical section on the line Z Z of Figure 1.

page_text: Figure 3 is a side elevation of the air bulb detached from the burner and supply
pipe.
Figure 4 is a plan (drawn to an enlarged scale) of an elbow forming part of
the supply pipe showing its stopped end perforated with holes.
The chamber A A' is of tubular or other desired section and may be of any
shape suitable for the purpose for which it is required. As shown in Figure 1
the front tubular part A is curved to conform to the shape of an ordinary fire-
grate and is provided with a series of holes or outlets B, the latter (see Figures 1
and 2) being situated on the extreme outside edge of the part A, this arrange-
ment of the said holes or openings bringing the gas flames nearer the bottom
and front of the grate and consequently the said flames are in closer proximity
to the asbestos or other material used.
The chamber A is provided as before stated on its underside with an exten-
sion A which is internally screw-threaded to receive therein the screw threaded
upper end C of the chamber or air bulb C.
The latter is provided with a flange C which bears up against the underside
of the fire-bars (not shown in the drawings but represented in Figure 2 by dot
and dash lines). The lower part of the said chamber or air bulb C is open (sec
Figures 2 and 3) so that the said chamber C allows of the air and gas mixing.
The said chamber C is provided with a bottom flange (3 screw threaded to
receive therein an elbow 1) such as shown in Figures 2 and 4 to which a pipe
may be attached or instead of the said elbow a pipe may be connected directly
into the said flange C³.
The said elbow D (or pipe) has a stopped end D' provided with holes D2 through
which the gas passes.
With a burner constructed in the above described manner the combustion is
so perfect that it is unnecessary to connect a flue to carry off the noxious pro-
ducts or gases and the usual noise and back lighting is entirely obviated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination in a gas burner of chambers A A¹, an air chamber such
as C and an elbow or pipe connection such as D substantially as specified with
reference to the accompanying drawing.
2. The particular arrangement of parts, constituting the improved gas burner,
constructed arranged and operating substantially in the manner described with
reference to the accompanying drawing.
