Improvements in Burners for Lamps Burning Petroleum and
similar Oils.
I FRANCIS JOSEPH BATEMAN ALLEN Merchant and Manufacturer of 44 Upper
East Smithfield, St. Georges in the East, County of Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN BURNERS FOR LAMPS BURNING
PETROLEUM AND SIMILAR OILS" to be as follows:-
--
Paragon Burners by reason of their shape did not afford space enough for the action
of an extinguisher. I so modify the shape while retaining the characteristics of this
class of burner. That an extinguisher may be conveniently added and I also so
modify the burner that a
jointed collar may also be used.
The collar of the burner is fitted with two helicoidal wings and the body of the
burner at its lower edge has two ears or clamps engaging with the wings on the collar
so as to hold the portions together in the manner of a bayonet joint. In the bottom
of the burner, there is a lining of cork or similar material which prevents the heat
passing from the flame to the lamp vase, and the oil oozing through.
The gauze usually provided in the lamp is so arranged that an extinguisher may
be fitted to the burner tube. One form of extinguisher is constructed as follows:-
A wing is placed on each side of the wick tube and the one wing is made with side
portions forming the framing for the other parts of the extinguisher. The second
wing is binged and a spring tends to press it against the first. A lever is connected
with the wings and pivotted at a suitable point of the burner. The lever extends
outward.
When the lamp is to be extinguished, the lever is depressed, the wings rise, one
approaches the other by the pressure of the spring and closing over the flame, or
over the end of the wick, extinguishes the lamp.
The usual cone is placed above the extinguisher and the burner has the usual
arrangements for raising the wick &c.

Improvements in Burners for Lamps Burning Petroleum and
similar Oils.
I, FRANCIS JOSEPH BATEMAN ALLEN, Merchant and Manufacturer of 44 Upper
East Smithfield St. Georges in the East, County of Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BURNERS FOR LAMPS BURNING
PETROLEUM AND SIMILAR OILS" and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Paragon burners by reason of their shape did not afford space enough for the action
of an extinguisher. I so modify the shape while retaining the characteristics of this
class of burner that an extinguisher may be conveniently added and I also so modify
the burner that a bayonet jointed collar may also be used.
My improved burner is shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is an
elevation partly in section.
Fig. 2 is a sectional clovation taken on a line at right angles to Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the extinguisher showing the same in that position
when the wick is not covered thereby, that is to say when it allows the lamp
to burn.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to fig. 3 but shows the extinguisher closed over
the wick.
Fig. 5 is an elevation of the left-hand side of fig. 4.
The collar of the burner is fitted with two helicoidal wings AA and the body of the
burner at its lower edge has two ears or clamps B B engaging with the wings on the
collar so as to hold these portions together in the manner of a bayonet-joint. In
the bottom of the burner there is a lining C of cork or similar material which
prevents the heat passing from the flame to the lamp vase and the oil oozing
through.
The Gauze D usually provided in the burner is so arranged that an extinguisher
may be fitted to the burner. The extinguisher may be constructed as follows though
other forms may be used-Wings E ET are placed on each side of the wick tube and
the one wing E is made with portions embracing the wick tube and forming tho
framing for the other parts of the extinguisher. The second wing E¹ is hinged and a
spring F tends to press it against the first. A lever G is connected with the wings
and pivotted at a suitable point of the burner. A band or bridge-piece G¹ serves to
connect the lever. G with the wing E. The lever G extends outward. When
the lamp is to be extinguished the lever G is depressed the wings rise one
approaches the other by the pressure of the spring F and closing over the flame, or
over the end of the wick, extinguishes the lamp.

page_text: The usual cone is placed above the extinguisher and the burner has the usual
arrangements for raising the wick &c.
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 I claim
A burner fitted with a bayonei joint consisting of the parts A and B, an
extinguisher operated by a lever G or its equivalent and a lining C of cork and the
like all as set forth and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
