An Improved Gas-burner.
1. PROSPER GARY, of Toulouse, in the Republic of France, Merchant, 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 construction and operation of the improved gas-burner will be readily
understood from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying
drawing.
Figure 1 is a vertical section on the line X, Y¹ Figure 2.
Figure 2. is a plan partly in horizontal section on the line X, Y Figure 1.
On examining these views, it will be seen that the improved gas-burner is
composed of an annular burner A with a series of holes A¹ in its upper side for the
egress and combustion of the gas, which burner is fixed in a holder B which in
combination with the burner A forms the reservoir C¹ of the burner, which
reservoir receives the gas flowing through the tube C attached to the holder B.
This tube C forms a regulator according to its interior diameter and is itself joined
by a branch pipe D to the boss E which serves for fixing it to the gas-supply pipe.
The connection of the burner A to the holder B is completed by the cement or
plaster joints K, K', which prevent all escape of gas except through the orifices A'
of the burner A.
Thus arranged, the burner A is fixed at a convenient height in the vertical
centre of the glass chimney F, in the narrow part thereof; the lower part G is
widened and forms the aspirator and draws in the air, whilst the upper part I forms
a chimney properly speaking for the flame.
The burner A is supported in the glass F, by two rods J passing through two
holes J, Jin the said glass F and screwed into the walls of the holder B, and by
the tube C which passes through a hole formed in the glass F for this purpose.
The gas-burner thus constructed is joined to the gas-supply pipe by the branch D
and the boss E and is so placed as to leave clear or unobstructed as far as practicable
the lower enlarged part G of the glass F which forms the aspirator and inducts
the air necessary for combustion.
The air, following the direction of the arrows shown in the portion G, becomes
heated by contact with the glass F and with the whole of the burner A and is
split up, passing the one part through the centre of the burner A and the other
part around the same in such a manner as to feed the flame in a regular and perfect
manner both inside and out.
A good flame is thus obtained without flickering, without flaring, and without
smoke.
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 :-
The gas-burner above described consisting of an annular burner A forming, in
combination with a holder B in which it is fastened and cemented, the reservoir or
interior chamber C' which receives through the small tube C the gas to be consumed,
the entire burner thus combined being arranged and supported centrally in the
narrow part H of a glass F, the lower widened part G of which forms the aspirator

part forms the chimney for the said flame.
Dated this 27th day of July 1892.
