Contrivance for Regulating the Supply of Gas and Air to
Atmospheric Gas-burners.
I, HEINRICH KIKOW of 18, Stallschreiberstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of the present invention is a regulating contrivance for gas-heating
burners which has for its purpose the introduction of a greater or less quantity of air,
corresponding to a greater or less consumption of gas.
The passage of the gas-pipe is at the end, carried outwards in a slanting direction
in the form of a slot; and in such manner that the gas streaming from the gas-pipe
strikes against a funnel passing into the burner fixed upon it.
On the way from the slot to the funnel, the outstreaming gas takes up a
certain quantity of air, and thoroughly mixes with it on striking against the
funnel wall.
In order to admit a greater or less quantity of gas to the burner, corresponding to
the desired size of flame, there is arranged on the gas-pipe, a sliding collar, moved in
any suitable manner by means of tooth-wheels, or lever, more or less over the slot in
order to leave its opening more or less free. On pushing the collar nearer to the
opening of the funnel, the cross section of the slot is narrowed, so that less gas streams
out. Simultaneously with this, however, the gas passage from the outlet opening to
the funnel is shortened, so that the gas streams through a thinner layer of air, and
mixes with a less quantity of air, accordingly. Should the collar be pushed wholly
over the slot the gas-pipe is closed.

Contrivance for Regulating the Supply of Gas and Air to
Atmospheric Gas-burners._
I, HEINRICH KIKOW of 18, Stallschreiberstrasse, Berlin, Germany, Manufacturer,
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:-
The object of the present invention is a regulating contrivance for gas heating
Lurners which has for its purpose the introduction of a greater or less quantity of air,
corresponding to a greater or less consumption of gas.
On the accompanying drawing, Figs. 1 and 2 are vertical and longitudinal sections
of the contrivance. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the same.
The passage of the gas-pipe a is at the end, carried outwards in a slanting
direction in the form of a slot c, and in such manner that the gas streaming from the
gas-pipe a strikes against a funnel b, passing into the burner fixed upon it.

In order to admit a greater or less quantity of gas to the burner, corresponding
the desired size of flame, there is arranged on the gas pipe a, a sliding collar d, moved
in any suitable manner by means of tooth-wheels, or lever, more or less over the slot c
in order to leave its opening more or less free, as shewn in Fig. 2. in section and in
Fig. 3 in underside view.
On pushing the collar d nearer to the opening of the funnel b, the cross section of
the slot is narrowed, so that less gas streams out. Simultaneously with this,
however, the gas passage from the outlet opening to the funnel is shortened, so that
the gas streams through a thinner layer of air, and mixes with a less quantity of
air, accordingly. Should the collar d be pushed wholly over the slot c the gas-pipe
is closed.
с
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
In a regulating contrivance for gas-heating burners, the combination of the
gas-pipe a with a slanting slot c and a collar d being arranged over the mouth of said
slot, as and for the purpose set forth.
