WILLIAM HENRY PETERS, of 49 Parade, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Gun Smith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to improve the lighting capacity of the above lamps by
means of an improved burner in combination with an air tube as follows.
The Burner is of a circular or other suitable shape having an aperture through the
centre to allow the air tube to come through in order to collect and distribute the air
directly to the light.
The air tubo consists of a tube extending from the upper part of the lamp for which
purpose the said upper part is perforated having one or more branches opposite the
ordinary air inlet immediately above the carriage roof and extends down and along
under the burner and returns upwards through the centre of the said burner extending
slightly above it having a kind of inverted cone shaped cap, forming the outlet, the
sides forming the cone being perforated to allow of the air coming through, the cone
shape being adapted to direct the air to the light, also to consume the smoke. The
part which extends outside the lamp has a projecting cap which is perforated on the
underside to admit the air.
The burner is adapted to receive a flat cotton which when placed in position curves
round to correspond with the shape of the burner and meets at the two edges thus
forming a circular or other shaped ring through which ring the air tube passes.
Thus it will be perceived that the burner forms a kind of horizontal ring with the
air tube passing under and extending upwards vertically through it & terminating
slightly above it with its conical perforated sides in a suitable position to force the light
outwards by means of the cold air.
The air tube may also be used with an ordinary Argand or other like gas burner.

Gun Smith 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 improve the lighting capacity of the above named
lamp by means of an improved burner in combination with an air tube as hereinafter
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a section of the lamp.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the air tube and burner shewing their relative positions.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the burner.
Tho burner A is of a circular or other suitable shape, having an aperture B through
the centre to allow the air tubo C to pass through it in order to collect and distribute
the air directly to the light.
:
The air tube C consists of a tube extending from the upper part of the lamp for
which purpose the said upper part is perforated at D having one or more branches at
E opposite the ordinary air inlet iminediately above the carriage roof and extending
down and along under the burner, and returning upwards through the centre of the
said burner being open at the top and having a suitable cap or spreader F for directing
the air to the light.
The part which extends outside the lamp has a suitable cap G which is perforated on
the underside to admit the air.
The burner is adapted to receive a flat cotton, which when placed in position curves
round to correspond with the shape of the burner and meets at the two edges, thus
forming a circular or other shaped ring through which ring the air tube passes.
Thus it will be perceived that the burner forms a kind of horizontal ring with the air
tube passing under and extending upwards vertically through it, and terminating in
such a position that the cap or spreader directs the light outwards by means of the
cold air.
The air tube may also be used with an ordinary Argand or other like gas burner.
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. The air tubo in combination with the burner as substantially set forth and for the
purpose specified.
2. The burner in combination with the air tube and spreader as substantially set forth
and for the purpose specified.
3. The air tube in combination with a gas burner as substantially set forth.
