PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Supports for Incandescent Gas Burners
and the like.
I, THOMAS REDMAN, of the Priory, Bolton, Bradford, Yorks, Gas Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
This invention relates to the construction of supports for incandescent gas
burners, and has for its object the arrangement of the particular parts of the
supports in such a manner that, the burner in which the top parts are not readily
detachable from the Bunsen portion of the burner, to be enabled to remove the
entire burner from its carrier or support and thereby facilitate the changing of
the mantle, cleaning and other purposes requiring the removal of the burner.
In carrying out my improvement, I form the carrier or support with a suitable
number of arms equal to the number of burners and connect the burners in the
usual way. The arm or arms is enlarged at the end or ends for the reception of
the respective burner stems with a hole through same extending to the circum-
ference of the enlargement, so that the burner may be readily slid into or removed
from the hole and support without having to dismember the gas burner or any
screwed joints.
The arms or carriers may be supported by a bar or in any convenient manner.

Improvements in the Supports for Incandescent Gas Burners
and the like.
I, THOMAS REDMAN, of the Priory, Bolton, Bradford, in the County of York,
Gas 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::
This invention relates to the construction of supports for incandescent gas
burners when in use, and has for its object the novel arrangement of certain parts
of the supports in such a manner that with burners in which the top parts are
not readily detachable from the Bunsen portion of the burner, by my novel con-
struction of support, I am enabled to remove the entire burner from its carrier or
supporting arm and thereby facilitate the changing of the mantle or for cleaning,
or other purposes requiring the removal of the burner.
In describing my invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying

page_text: sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1, represents an elevation of an atmospheric gas
burner supported by a carrier constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the carrier arm, and Fig. 3, represents a carrier arm support
of another type.
-
In carrying out my invention I form the carrier or the support A with a suit-
able number of carrier arms B equal to the number of gas burners C which are
connected to the gas supply in the usual or any convenient manner. Each carrier
arm B is enlarged at its outer end' B₁ for the reception of the burner stem, the
enlargement being in the form of a ring with a portion cut away as shown by
Fig. 2, so that the burner stem may be readily slid into or removed from the
carrier arm B without having to dismember the gas burner C, or any screwed
joint or joints.
In place of attaching the carrier arm or arms B to a suspended support as
described, it will be readily understood that the carrier arms B may be attached
to a standard D by forming a thread at the top thereof and screwing the carrier
arm thereto;, or in any other convenient manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
'
1. Atmospheric gas burner supports in which the carrier arm B is constructed
in a manner by which the stem of the burner may be inserted into or removed
therefrom arranged substantially in the manner as herein before described and
shown.
