PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hydrocarbon Oil Burners.
We, SAMUEL TOWNSEND and FREDERICK ERNEST TOWNSEND, of 7 Stuart
Street, Luton, in the County of Bedfordshire, Lamp Vendors, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon oil burners, which consists
of a number of perforated (or otherwise).cones with slots placed one above another
situated above the wind guard in order to produce a light of pure combustion.
We construct our invention by placing one or more wire gauze cups over the
wick tubo and inside the wind guard of any ordinary lamp burner. Above the
aforesaid wire gauze cups we place five (more or less) cones with slots one above
the other. The said perforated cones with slots are fitted on to each other in
order to form a pyramid of cones to obtain a light of pure combustion by the
ndmission of air.
'
The aforesaid invention is intended to be used in conjunction with the Patent
granted to us, No. 15942, bearing date November 5, 1888.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration; and that
the shapes, perforations, slots, materials, and the various parts may be varied in
many ways within the scope of our invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hydrocarbon Oil Burners.
Wo, SAMUEL TOWNSEND, and FREDERICK ERNEST TOWNSEND, of 7 Stuart
Street, Luton, in the County of Bedfordshire, Lamp Vendors, 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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon oil burners which consists
of a number of perforated (or otherwise,) cones with slots placed one above another
situated above the wind guard in order to produce a light of pure combustion.
We construct our invention by placing one or more wire gauze cups over the
wick tube and inside the wind guard of any ordinary lamp burner. Above the
aforesaid wire gauze cups we place five (more or less,) cones with slots one above
the other. The said perforated cones with slots are fitted on to each other in order
to form a pyramid of cones, to obtain a light of pure combustion by the admission
of air.
The aforesaid invention is intended to be used in conjunction with the Patent
granted to us, No. 15,942, bearing date November 5, 1888.
We attain these objects by the illustrations in the accompanying drawing, in
which-
Fig. 1 is half of the plan of the top cone and gallery ;
Fig. 2, is half in elevation and half in section;
Fig. 3, is a plan of the perforatious in cone b.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the views.
For preference we illustrate our invention attached to an ordinary single wick
burner. In the inside of the wind guard m' we place a gauze cup! (one or more,)
and above the wick tube; we place a cone a with a slot fixed to a cone b with
37

page_text: perforations k. On the cone 6 we place a wire gauze shield o with another cone d
and cone e on the outside. Above and around the aforesaid cones we fix the outer
cone with a slot h. At each end of the sloth we turn down a portion of the
metal out from the slot in order to check the advance of air.
This burner may be used with or without a glass shade. "A" gallery g is provided
to receive a glass shade.
The object of our invention is to obtain a light of pure combustion by the
regulation of the admission of air through the various openings and channels in our
apparatus.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the shapes, perforations, slots, materials, and the various parts may be varied in
many ways within the scope of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
.
1. The combination of the perforated cones with slots and gauze shields in hydro-
carbon oil burners of any common pattern, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In hydrocarbon oil burners, the combination of the perforated cones a, b, d, e, f,¯
with slots, and the gauze shields c, and 4, air guarda i, i, with any single, double, or
other wick lamp, substantially as herein described and according to the accom-
panying drawing.
3. The combination of the cones, perforations, slots or guards, to-be of any shape,
size or of any material, or with any modification of the various parts, substantially
as herein described and for the purpose specified.
