Year: 1884

I, CORNELIUS WILLIAM MORLEY of No 2 Lechmere Villas Lechmere Road
Willesden Green London N.W. in the County of Middlesex, Gas Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for REGULATING AND HEATING GAS IN
BURNERS to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is, to combine the heating and the automatic
regulation of gas in one burner also to facilitate the action of the regulator, for the
purpose of obtaining increased light from flames of improved uniformity, however
much the pressure in the supply-pipe may vary.
In this invention, a cylindrical chamber containing the tip, is used, similar to one
I have previously invented and found useful for a non-regulating burner, see
No 2562 AD 1863 it being wider at its top part than the hole in which the tip is
fitted, so as to cause the flame to be near the chamber and heat the gas therein, I
also use a hollow partition, which allows the passage of gas on its edge and which
is fixed in the chamber, with its hollow side facing and under the tip, so that gas
regulated by a governed inlet below, may glide freely on the outside of the partition
to the top sides of the heating chamber which it leaves in an angular direction for
the tip, and part of my invention consists in the combination of this heating
chamber and its partition with an inlet which is governed by an automatic
regulator, for the purpose before stated.
In my method of facilitating the action of the regulator, a long thin stem, having
angular projections as guides at its lower end to slide in the narrow cylinder or
tube situated within the male screw at the bottom of the burner, promotes the
reliable and uniform action of the regulator, without diminishing the nessecary flow
of gas, and constitutes another part of my invention, when a valve and a disc is
attatched to its upper end, to govern the inlet by rising and falling in a wide
cylinder through the pressure of gas.
My invention also consits in the combination of this stem and its guides sliding
in the narrow cylinder at the bottom of the burner and attatched to a disc at its
upper end, which works in a wider cylinder and has passages for gas on its edge
and a cone to act as a valve and govern the inlet which is connected with the
heating chamber as before described, so that
"
In the burner thus completed, gas enters the narrow cylinder and (in proportion
to pressure) raises the cone and the disc with its long stem and guides, then passing
the edge of this disc (working in the wider cylinder) it is regulated at the inlet, so
as to glide in uniform quantity on the outside of the partition to the sides and top
of the heating chamber, before its departure through the tip, to produce a regulated
and superior flame.

I, CORNELIUS WILLIAM MORLEY Gas Engineer of 2 Lechmere Villas Lechmere
Road Willesden Green London N.W. do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for REGULATING AND HEATING CAS IN BURNERS 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 invention is to combine the heating and the -automatic regulation
of gas in one burner, also to facilitate the action of the regulator, for the purpose of
obtaining-increased light_from_flames of improved uniformity, however much the
pressure in the supply-pipe may vary.
In this invention-which is clearly illustrated in the annexed drawings-a
cylindrical chamber a, containing the tip b, is used, similar to one I have previously
invented and found useful for a non-regulating burner, it being wider at its top
part than the hole-o, in which the tip-b, is fitted, so as to cause the flame to be near
the chamber a, and heat the gas therein. I also use a hollow partition-d, which
allows the passage of gas on its edge e; and which-is-fixed in the chamber a, with.
its hollow sido facing and under the tip b, so that gas regulated by a governed
inlet g, below, may glide freely on the outside of the partition-d, to the top sides of
the heating chamber a, which it leaves in an angular direction for the tip b, and
part of my invention, consists, in the combination of this heating chamber a, and its
partition d, with an inlot g, which is governed by an automatic regulator for the
purpose before stated.
In my method of facilitating the action of the regulator h, a long thin stem i,
having angular projections j, as guides at its lower end to slide in the narrow
cylinder or tube k, situated within the male screw 1, at the bottom of the burner,
promotes the reliable and uniform action of the regulator h, without diminishing
the nessecary flow of gas and constitutes another part of my invention, when a
valve and a disc is attatched to its upper end to govern the inlet g, by rising and
falling in a wide cylinder n, through the pressure of gas.
My invention also consists in the combination of this stem i, and its guides j,
sliding in the narrow cylinder k, at the bottom of the burner and attatched to a disc
at its upper end, which works in a wider cylinder and has passages for gas on its
edge and a cone p, to act as a valve and govern the inlet g, which is connected with
the heating chamber, as before described, so that
In the burner thus completed, gas enters the narrow cylinder k, and-in
proportion to pressure-raises the cone p, and the disc m, with its long stem i, and
guides j, then passing the edge o, of this disc m, working in the wider cylinder n
it is regulated at the inlet g, so as to glide in uniform quantity on the outside of
the partition d, to the sides and top of the heating chamber a, before its departure
through the tip b, to produce a regulated and superior flame.
The stem i, is made by preference of twisted wires, the bent ends of which form
the angular projections j.
Various tips may be used in the chambers a, as shown in Figures 1. 3. 5 and
may either contain one slit or two holes or two slits, each tip producing a flat
flame,

page_text: Fig. 4 shows a square piece of metal which is used to make the hollow partition d,
so that its corners may hold in the groove x, which is formed in the side of the
chamber a, the sides of the square allowing a free passage of gas In Fig 2 tho
partition d, is a round gauze partly covered by a piece of thin metal or preferably
lead, which adheres to the gauze, in the process of doming, a sufficient margin of
gauze 8, allows gas to pass through it and supply the fish tail or two-hole tip in
Fig. 3. The partitions, wether round or squaro being also useful in preventing the
hissing noise, caused by the passage of gas through the inlet.
Fig 1. shows details of the several parts of my invention In Fig. 3 the parts are
put together for use, the space at the edge o, of the disc m, is sufficient for the
supply of gas to the inlet g, at the normal pressure. In Fig 5 the cone p, the
disc m, the stem i, and the projections j, are raised by the extra pressure of gas,
which partly closes the inlet g, to regulate and make uniform the supply of gas to
the tip b.
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 beating chamber a, the partitions d, and the groove x, combined with
an inlet which is governed by an automatic regulator.
2. The combined use of the twisted stem i, with guides j, working in the narrow
cylinder k, as descibed.
