AN IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF INVERTED GAS BURNER
Year: 1885

page_text: I, DAVID WILLIAM SUGG of Vincent Works, Vincent Street in the City of
Westminster, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED CONSTRUCTION OF INVERTED GAS BURNER, to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a gas burner which will not become
choked with carbon due to the decarbonization of the gas.
My improved burner consists of a piece of short tube which I secure to the end
of the gas supply pipe in any convenient manner The inner end or top of this
tube I may close by a disc or plug or in any other convenient manner in which
case I prefer to form holes or gas ways in the side of the tube Pendent from the
disc or plug and arranged centrally of the tube is a rod or stem which projects
beyond the mouth of the tube and to the free end of this rod or stem is secured
a ball disc or other means for directing the gas as it issues from the tube. The
distance of the ball or disc from the mouth of the tube will be regulated according
to requirements. Instead of making the gas ways in the side of the tube I may
make them in the disc or plug.
I may remark that the details of construction may be varied without departing
from the principle of my improved burner which consists of an open tube having
suspended or otherwise fixed at a short distance from its mouth and centrally of
the same, means for directing the gas as it issues.

page_text: I DAVID WILLIAM SUGG of Vincent Works, Vincent Street in the City of
Westminster, 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 object of this invention is to produce a gas burner which will not become
choked with carbon due to the decarbonization of the gas.
My improved burner consists of a piece of short tube, the inner end or top of

case, the holes or gas ways are formed by preference in the side of the tube, but
they may be made in the disc. Pendent from the disc or plug, and arranged 1
centrally of the tube, is a rod or stem, which projects beyond the mouth of the
tube, and to the free end of this rod or stem is secured a ball, disc, or other means
for breaking up and spreading the gas on all sides as it issues from the tube. The
distance of the ball or disc from the mouth of the tube will be regulated according
to requirements.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown my improved burner in three
different forms.
"
In Figs. 1 and 2, the gas enters the burner through the gas ways a in the side
of the tube, but it may also pass through holes in the top of the tube.
In Fig. 3, the gas has a clear way through the burner, the ball stem b being
supported by cross arms c, as shown in Fig. 4, which is a cross section on the
line 1. 2 of Fig. 3.
•
The ball or disc placed in the mouth of the tube fulfils an important duty,
inasmuch as it breaks up the outflowing stream of gas, and causes it to spread
on all sides, producing, when lighted, a cup shaped flame.
The improved burner, the details of construction of which obviously admit of
considerable variation, is more especially intended for use with what are now
known as "inverted gas lamps."-In this form of burner, the stoppage of the same
by carbon, arising from the decarbonization of the gas, will be impossible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
An inverted gas burner consisting of a short length of tube having suspended,
or otherwise fixed in or near its open mouth, and centrally of the same, a ball,
disc, or other means for breaking up and spreading the outflowing stream of gas,
substantially as herein shown and described.
