I WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, Fel. Inst. P.A. of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, in 'the county of Lancaster, and
823 High Holborn in the county of Middlesex Civil Engineer do hereby declare
the nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN LAMPS AND LAMP BURNERS":"
a communication to me from abroad by Max Herrmann, Merchant, of Brieg,
Breslau, to be as follows:-
This lamp burner is designed to develop an extremely great strength of light,
and to permit of the use of petroleum of the lightest specific gravity as well as of
the more heavy Russian mineral oil, solaroil et cetera.

This object is attained by means of the peculiar, very safe and uniformly-working
arrangement of the wick, as well as by means of the plentiful supply of air to the
flame, which is introduced by three different ways, thus aiding the complete burning
of the oil without leaving any products of combustion whatsoever. The flame
burns, in consequence of the strong current of air, entirely free from smoke and.
smell, and requires, proportionately, little petroleum; the lamp and its connection
with the burner is also so constructed, that a so called "sweating," id est, a leakage
or overflow of the petroleum does not occur.
The wick-tube is tightly fastened to the oil container, and the air is introduced.
to the flame from underneath through a tube inside and adjoining the-wick tube,
both of which pass through the oil container. This air tube surrounds a second
tube on whose upper end the disc of burner is set in such manner as to be easily
removable. The disc is hollow and provided with holes through which a second
current of air passes to the flame; the third air current enters by means of the
burner proper which is fixed outside the wick tube and directly below the above.
mentioned disc.

The guide for the wick can be arranged in two different ways. With circular.
wicks, the wick is drawn over a metal cylinder, and is fastened by means of a
feathered ring provided with a rack. The cylinder, and with it the wick, can be
very exactly and evenly regulated by means of a pinion-wheel, which is provided

page_text: in the known manner, with its axle and key plate, and which pinion wheel engages
with the above mentioned rack. In place of the smooth metal cylinder, which is
situated in the interior of the circular wick, a perforated metal cylinder can be
used which encloses the wick and to which it is fastened by means of a ring at its
lower end. The pinion in this case engages in the perforations of the cylinder,
which take the place of the rack.
Improvements in Lamps and Lamp Burners.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, Fel. Inst. P.A. of the Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6. Lord Street Liverpool in the county of Lancaster, and
323 High Holborn in the county. of Middlesex, Civil Engineer do hereby declare
the nature of this invention (a communication from abroad by Max Herrmann, of
Brieg, Breslau Merchant) and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This lamp burner, shown in the annexed drawing, is designed to develop an,
extremely great strength of light, and to, permit of the use of petroleum of the
lightest specific gravity as well as of the more heavy Russian mineral oil, solar-oil
etcetera.
This object is attained by means of the peculiar, very safe and uniformly..
working arrangement of the wick, as well as by means of the plentiful supply of
air to the flame, which is introduced by three different ways, thus aiding the
complete burning of the oil without leaving any products of combustion whatsoever.
The flame burns, in consequence of the strong current of air, entirely free from
smoke and smell, and requires, proportionately, little petroleum; the lamp and its
connection with the burner is also so constructed, that a so called "sweating," id est,
a leakage or overflow of the petroleum does not occur.
The wick-tube vis tightly fastened to the oil container n, and the air is
introduced to the flame from underneath through a tube t inside and adjoining the
wick tube, both of which pass through the oil container. This air tube t surrounds
a second tube o on whose upper end the disc p of burner is set in such manner
as to be easily removable. The disc p is hollow and provided with holes 8, ș,
through which a second current of air passes to the flame in the direction of the
arrows; the third air current enters by means of the burner proper g which is
fixed outside the wick tube and directly below the above mentioned disc.
The guide for the wick can be arranged in two different ways .as shown in
Figures 3 and 5. With circular wicks as in Figure 3, the wick g is drawn over a

page_text: metal cylinder K and is fastened to K by means of a feathered ring provided
with a rack i. The cylinder K, and with it the wick, can be very exactly and
evenly regulated by means of a pinion wheel h which is provided in the known
manner, with its axle and key plate, and which pinion wheel engages with the
above mentioned rack i. In place of the smooth metal cylinder K, which is
situated in the interior of the circular wick, a perforated metal cylinder m,
Figure 5, can be used, which encloses tho wick q and to which it is fastened by
means of a ring at its lower end. The pinion in this case engages in the
perforations of the cylinder m, which take the place of the rack i.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said.
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my Foreign Correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
In petroleum circular burners
1. The introduction of air to the flame by means of the tube t and the inner
one o with the hollow disc p provided with holes 8, 8.
2. Controlling the wick by means of the rack i, of the feathered ring ɩ, and of
the smooth metal cylinder K (see Figures 3 and 4).
3. Controlling the wick by means of the ring and of the perforated metal
cylinder m (see Figures 5 and 6) in which the pinion h engages.
