PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Oxy-hydrogen Mixed Gas Jets and
Jet Slides.
I CHARLES WOOLNOUGH LOCKE of 244 Tottenham Court Road London W..
in the County of Middlesex, Optical Lantern Expert and Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in oxy-hydrogen mixed gas jets and jet
slides and has for its object the more perfect and intimate association of the two-
gases in the mixing chamber, by simple mechanical means, thereby increasing the
power of the jet, with silent burning of the gases.
The jet slides are a more perfect means of holding the jet in position.
My said invention consists of a mixing chamber to which the gases are conducted:
by the 2 usual tubes, but instead of leading the gases direct into the chamber, the
gases are caused to intermix underneath it and to enter the chamber together
through one orifice instead of two as hitherto.
The gases are still further intermixed by a deflecting cone placed over the said'
orifice, which causes the gases to descend and to issue into the upper part of the
mixing chamber through a number of small perforations around the base of the
cone, the gases are then passed on to the nozzle or burner by a tube of special
length and bore.
The jet slides consist of 2 tubes connected at one end by a suitable piece of metal
which carries the jet pin, these 2 tubes telescope into 2 other tubes which are
attached to the lantern for which the jet or jets are intended; ready adjustment
being thereby obtained with greatly increased steadiness of the jet, which hitherto
has been impossible with the ordinary tin trays.

I CHARLES WOOLNOUGH LOCKE of 244, Tottenham Court Road London, W..

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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in oxy-hydrogen mixed gas jets & jet.
slides and has for its object the more perfect and intimate association of the two
gases in the mixing chamber by simple mechanical means, thereby increasing the
power of the jet with silent burning of the gases.
The jet slides consist of two tubes connected by a suitable piece of metal at one
end, which carries the jet pin; these two tubes telescope into two other tubes.

ready adjustment being thereby obtained with greatly increased steadiness of the
jet which hitherto has been impossible with ordinary tin trays.
In order that my invention may be clearly rendered, reference may be had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the jet chamber.
Fig. 2 is a plan & part section of jet slides.
Fig. 3 perspective elevation of jet slides.
Similar letters of reference are used to indicate like parts.
In constructing a mixed gas jet I employ the 2 usual tubes B & B 1. to conduct
the 2 gases to the chamber A but instead of leading the gases direct into the said
chamber, they are caused to intermix underneath it at C and to enter the mixing
chamber together through the vertical orifice D. Over this said orifice is placed
a deflecting cone E, which causes the gases to descend and to issue into the upper
part of mixing chamber A above the cone E. through a number of fiue perfora-
tions F & F 1. around the base of the cone; the gases are then passed on to the
nozzle or burner by a tube G of special length & bore. In constructing the jet
slides I employ 2 tubes H & H 1. Fig. 2 and connect together at one end by a
piece of metal I. which carries the jet pin J. These 2 tubes are made to
telescope into 2 other tubes K & K 1. which are attached to the lantern.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 do declare that what I
claim is
In the case of the jet,
1st. A more perfect intermixture of the 2 gases.
2nd. The prevention of the gases reaching the nozzle imperfectly mixed, by
compelling the gases to enter the chamber together through one orifice instead of
two as usually employed.
3rd. The vertical orifice & perforated cone, causing the gases to be split
up into fine streams & finally bringing them together in the upper part of i
chamber.
4th. Compelling the gases to travel through a longer course than usual in close
association.
5th. Greater intensity of light with absolute steadiness & silence in burning.
In the case of the jet slides:
1st. The means of entirely dispensing with the usual tin lime tray.
2nd. The means of leaving the bodies of lanterns entirely open from bottom to
top, allowing the ready escape of heat.
3rd. Ready adjustment, with great steadiness of the jet which hitherto has been
impossible with the ordinary tin trays.
Dated this 2nd day of April 1896.
