Improvements in Gas Burners.
I, ADAM HELLER, of $13, South Howard Street, Baltimore, United States of
America, 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:.
This invention relates to gas burners, and the prime object of the invention is
to provide an improved gas burner of novel construction and arrangement of parts,
to produce combustion upon the inside of the top of the gas chamber, or within
gas tubes depending from said top, so that each blaze given by such com-
bustion will be solid or compact, without interruption in the body of the
blaze as it comes from the top of the burner. This result is accomplished by any
of the burners hereinafter-disclosed.
In all burners of this class known to the applicant, the combustion takes place
upon the outside of the top of the burner, and is interrupted by a tube or pipe
around which the blaze is formed; or combustion is made in air tubes having gas
or combustion takes
apertures, and projecting above the top of the burner;
place below the open top of the burner around an air tube extending above a gas
tube, the mouth of the air tube interrupting or deflecting the blaze laterally.
It is to overcome these objections, and defects, and to produce a simplified im-
proved burner, having great heating capacity, that my invention is intended.

Figure 1 is a perspective view partly in section.
Figure 2 is a section on the liner Figure 3.
Figure 3 is a top view of a modification.
Figure 4 is a section of a further modification.
Like numeral references denote like parts in the drawings.
The casing consists of a top 1, bottom 2. and sides 3, so constructed and arranged
together to form a gas chamber 4. As shown in the drawings the said parts are
secured together by bolts 1, and the casing is circular, but it may be any desired
form or shape, and provided with a gas inlet 5, to the chamber 4.
The top 1, has holes 6, from which depend into the chamber 4, open gas tubes 7.
having a solid or non-perforated wall. These tubes are preferably cast integral
with the top 1. though they may be otherwise connected."
The bottom 2. has air tubes 8, in the chamber 4, which tubes project upward
and terminate in the tubes 7, with an interval or space 9, between the tubes 7
and S. for the passage of gas and the mingling of the latter with the air.
It is obvious that the gas passes from the chamber 4, into the space 9, meets
the air from the tubes 8, in the tubes 7. where combustion takes place, and whence
the blaze is emitted in a straight, solid uninterrupted mass.
The form of burner shown in Figures 2 and 3, is U shaped, or has an

tubes 13, depending from its top 14, and upwardly projecting air tubes 15, from

page_text: its bottom 16, which terminate in the tubes 13; the top tubes being larger than
the bottom tubes for the purpose of forming the space herein before referred to.
In the form of burner shown in Figure 4, the same tubes are employed. the
only difference being in the shape of the burner, which has a central opening 17,
making a ring shaped burner.
I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to any particular size, shape
or material in the manufacture of the burner, nor to the purposes to which it may
be applied
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1.—In a gas burner, the combination, with the casing forming a gas chamber,
and having holes in its top and bottom, of the tubes depending from the top holes,
and the tubes projecting from the bottom holes into the said depending tubes, to
leave a gas passage or space from said chamber between the telescoping portions
of the tubes, as set forth.
2. In a gas burner, the combination, with a casing forming a gas chamber,
and having holes in its top and bottom, of the tubes dépending from the top holes
and terminating in the chamber above the bottom holes, and the tubes projecting
from the bottom holes and terminating in the depending tubes so as to leave a gas
passage from the chamber between the tubes, and a combustion space in the
depending tubes, as set forth.
3. In a gas burner, the combination, with a casing forming a gas chamber.
of the open tubes depending from the top of the casing and terminating in said
chamber, and the open tubes projecting from the bottom of the casing and ter-
minating in the said depending tubes, to leave a gas passage, and a combustion
space, as set forth.
