page_text: I, ALBIN PERLICH, of Wittenbergerstrasse, 74, Dresden, Saxony, Germany, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new and improved self-igniting gas burner in which
the essential new features are the horizontally acting valves, the common stem
of which is directly connected with the contracting and expanding means usually
employed, thereby dispensing with all forms of construction heretofore employed
and necessary for connecting the valve-stem and the expanding and contracting
body.
In the accompanying drawings in which the principle of my invention is
illustrated
Fig. 1 shows in side partial sectional elevation a self-igniting gas burner
embodying my invention and
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a detail of my invention.
It will be clearly seen that I employ a block B having a central horizontal
circular opening therein in which latter is a snugly fitting valve stem A adapted
to move backward and forward. On the forward end of the said stem is a double
valve a and b, the former adapted to rest in a valve-seat formed in the forward
end of the circular opening aforesaid, closing the same when the stem is in a
backward position; while the latter valve b, engages a valve seat formed in
the passage of the head piece and closes the same when the said stem A is in
a forward position. The block B is also provided with a passage c, el and c
which as will be seen from the drawings form a continuous channel from the
head piece to the hollow tube supporting the self igniting mass F, while adjacent
to the latter is mounted an expanding and contracting plate D the lower end
of which passing through the hole C engages the lip formed in stem A. It
will be thus clearly understood that when the gas cock (not shown) is opened,
the gas entering through the head piece travels into the passage e (adjacent to
which the diameter of stem A is reduced) and through passage e¹ and e² to the
selfigniter, which latter acting in the usual manner ignites the gas at the small
burner E, which flame acting on plate D causes a deformation of the said plate,
by which action the lower end engaging lip d drives the stem A backward thereby
closing valve a and opening valve b, whence the gas passes to the burner through
passage f and is ignited.

page_text: I, ALBIN PERLICH, of Wittenbergerstrasse, 74, Dresden, Saxony, Germany, do
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:-
My invention relates to a new and improved self-igniting gas burner in which
the essential new feature are the horizontally acting valves, the common stem
of which is directly connected with the contracting and expanding means usually
employed, thereby dispensing with all forms of construction heretofore employed
and necessary for connecting the valve-stem and the expanding and contracting
body.
In the drawings accompanying my Provisional Specification in which the
principle of my invention is illustrated.
Fig. 1 shows in side partial sectional elevation a self-igniting gas burner
embodying my invention and
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a detail of my invention.
It will be clearly seen that I employ a block B having a central horizontal
circular opening therein in which latter is a snugly fitting valve stem A adapted
to move backward and forward. On the forward end of the said stem is a double
valve a and b, the former adapted to rest in a valve-seat formed in the forward
end of the circular opening aforesaid, closing the same when the stem is in a
backward position; while the latter valve b, engages a valve seat formed in
the passage of the head piece and closes the same when the said stem A is in
a forward position. The block B is also provided with a passage e, e¹ and e²
which as will be seen from the drawings form a continuous channel from the
.head piece to the hollow tube supporting the self igniting mass F, while adjacent
to the latter is mounted an expanding and contracting plate D the lower end
of which passing through the hole C, engages the lip d formed in stem A. It
will be thus clearly understood that when the gas cock (not shown) is opened,
the gas entering through the head piece travels into the passage e (adjacent to
which the diameter of stem A is reduced) and through passage el and e² to the
selfigniter, which latter acting in the usual manner ignites the gas at the small
burner E, which flame acting on plate 1) causes a deformation of the said plate,
by which action the lower end engaging lip d drives the stem A. backward thereby
closing valve a and opening valve b, whence the gas passes to the burner through
passage and is ignited.
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:-
1. In a selfigniting gas burner the combination of a common valve stem and
an actuating metallic plate in direct connection therewith, substantially as
described.
2. In a selfigniting gas burner the combination of two valves, a common steni
in connection therewith, suitable gas-channels through which the gas flow is
adapted to be regulated by said valves and an actuating metallic plate in direct
connection with said stem, substantially as described.
3. In a selfigniting gas burner, the combination of two valves, a common
horizontal stem in connection therewith, suitable gas channels formed in said
burner, the gas flow through which being regulated by said valves, a selfigniting

said stem substantially as described.
4. In a new and improved selfigniting gas burner the combination of a block
provided with a gas channel therein, a head piece in connection with said block
and also provided with gas channels therein, and in communication with said
first, a horizontal stem in said block, a lip on said stem, valves on the forward
end of said stem and engaging respectively seats formed in said block and head
piece, a hollow tube, a self igniting mass thereon, an expanding and contracting
plate adjacent thereto and having its lower end passing through an opening in
said block and directly engaging said stem lip, substantially as described.
