Improvements in Burners for Gas and Gaseous Combustibles.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 322, High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the County of
Lancaster, and Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Civil Engineer, 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 present invention relates to burners for coal gas or the volatilization
products of spirit, petroleum or other hydrocarbons, whether the same be burnt
as ordinary lighting flames or adapted to the heating of incandescence bodies. It
further relates to devices to control in a convenient manner by hand or auto-
matically the supply of gas and the pressure of the mixture of gas and air
supplied to the flame, as well as to effect the mixing of the gas and the air
introduced for the heating of the incandescence body in a very intimate manner
for the object of obtaining a hot non-luminous flame.
The method of carrying the invention into effect is by the arrangement of a
piece inserted in the lower part of the gas supply pipe in the form of a slit burner"
at the place where the air openings are placed, or by means of a cap regulated
automatically by the pressure of the gas. The intimate mixture of the gas with
the air is effected by means of a sieve or wire gauze insertion as well as of a spiral
insertion of wire or metal strips in the upper part of the burner. This spiral
insertion may be either rigid, or more suitably, elastic in the form of a spiral spring,
in order to serve at the same time as an elastic support for the very sensitive
incandescence body, and which will render the vibrations and shocks received by
the burner harmless for the incandescence body.
Referring to the accompanying drawings:-
Figure 1 shows a vertical section through a burner arranged for an incandescence
body.
Figure 2 is a side view of the same.
Figure 3 a view from above of the lower inserted slit burner.
Figure 4 is the view from above of the spiral insertion in the upper part of the
burner.
Figure 5 is a vertical section through a modified construction of the lower,
inserted piece in which an automatic regulation of the supply of gas is effected by
means of a cap arranged in the inserted piece.
Figures 6 and 7 are section and side view of the said cap.
Figure 8 is a vertical section through the upper part of the burner with a
modified spiral insertion.
Figure 9 is a section through the upper part of the burner with another
modification of the spiral insertion.
Figure 10 is a view from above of Figure 9.
