page_text: I JOHN GEORGE HENRICH of 52 and 53 Wells Street, Oxford Street, London W.
Mineral Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be-as
follows
My Invention has reference to the improved construction of oil lamps, such as are
generally used for burning inflammable Hydro-carbon oils and has for its object the
effecting of a more perfect combustion of the oil, the production of a better light, the
prevention of the smell which ordinarily accompanies the burning of such oils, as also
to increase the safety of such lamps..
In carrying out my Invention, I provide a reservoir of any suitable size, shape, and
material, having the usual opening for the reception of the burner. Within the two
tubes which comprise the burner is inserted the wick carrier formed of a cylindrical
head, split or otherwise to form a clamp. The upper edge of said head is denticulated,
the points being bent over to grasp the cotton wick. To said cylindrical head is
attached a strip of metal, perforated longitudinally with one or more (preferably two)
rows of holes, in which take the teeth of two star wheels, carried by a spindle passing
to the exterior of the device, and terminating in a knob for actuating same. By
means of the above arrangement, the wick is conveyed to the extremity of, and beyond
the tubes forming the burner, equally at all points.
In order to effect the more perfect combustion of the oil, a support is provided
within the interior or central tube of the burner, (which latter is extended downwards,
and passes through the base of the reservoir to allow of the passage of air to the
flame) for the tubular stem of a deflector, said support being so constructed, as to
offer the least possible resistance to the free flow of the current of air, flowing upward
from the open lower end of the inner burner tube before inentioned. The deflector
above referred to, is made of two discs of metal, dished or otherwise as may be
preferred, the lower disc being perforated to receive a hollow steur, to which it is
rigidly attached, the upper disc being so fitted, that a narrow space intervenes between
the two discs to allow of the free passage of air therebetween. When the lamp is

of the burner, becomes greatly heated, which, impinging upon the flame, creates a
more perfect combustion of the gases generated by the oil, than is obtainable in
ordinary lamps.
With a view to ensure greater security against risk of explosion, when filling the
reservoir, I provide an independent opening in the upper part thereof, in which is
inserted and secured a metal ring, having attached thereto à tube, reaching to near
the bottom of the reservoir, by means of which the reservoir may be replenished
without risk of explosion, during the time the lamp is burning. A screw cap serves
to prevent the spilling of the oil when being carried.

I, JOHN GEORGE HENRICH, of 52 and 53 Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W.,
Mineral water manufacturer, 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, reference being also had to the accompanying sheet
of drawings:
My Invention relates to the improved construction of oil lamps, such as are
generally used for burning inflammable hydro-carbon oils and has for its object the
effecting of a more perfect combustion of the oil, the production of a better light, the
prevention of the smell which ordinarily accompanies the burning of oils as above
mentioned, as also to increase the safety of such lamps.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a reservoir Figure 1 of any suitable size,
shape, and material, having the usual opening formed therein for the reception of the
burner. Within the two tubes which comprise the burner is inserted the wick
carrier (shewn detached in Figures 2 and 3) formed of a cylindrical head a, split or
otherwise to form a clamp. The upper edge of said cylindrical head a is denticulated,
the points being bent over to grasp the wick. To said cylindrical head is attached
a strip of metal b, perforated longitudinally with one or more (preferably two) rows
of holes, in which take the teeth of two star wheels, carried by a spindle passing to
the exterior of the device, and terminating in a knob for actuating same. By means
of the above arrangement the wick is conveyed to the extremity of, and beyond the
tubes forming the burner, equally at all points.
In order to effect the more perfect combustion of the oil, a support A (shewn more
particularly in Figure 4) is provided within the interior or central tube of the burner,
(which latter is extended downwards, and passes through the base of the reservoir to
allow of the free passage of air to the flame)-for the hollow stem B of a deflector,
said support A being so constructed as to offer the least possible resistance to the free
passage of the current of air flowing upwards from the open lower end of the inner
burner tube before mentioned. The deflector aforesaid, is made of two discs of metal,
dished or otherwise as may be preferred, the lower disc being perforated to receive the
hollow stem B before mentioned, to which it is rigidly attached, the upper disc being
so arranged that a narrow space intervenes between the two discs to allow of the free
passage of air there between."
With a view to ensure greater security against risk of explosion when filling the
reservoir, I provide an independent opening in the upper part thereof in which is
inserted and secured a metal ring having attached thereto a tube c reaching to near
the bottom of the reservoir, by means of which arrangement the reservoir may be
replenished without risk of explosion, during the time the lamp is burning, and also
without as is usually the case-necessitating the removal of the gallery supporting
the chimney or glass.

page_text: When the lamp is lighted, the air passing through the hollow stem B, and between
that and the inner tube of the burner becomes greatly heated, and impinging upon.
the flame creates a more perfect combustion of the gases generated, than is attainable
in oil lamps as hitherto usually constructed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what. I
claim is :-
In a lamp such as herein described, the employment of the improved wick carrier
Figures 2 and 3; the filling device consisting of the tube c extended to near the
bottom of the reservoir; and the hollow stem B in combination with the deflector 10
herein mentioned, by means of which a second and supplementary current of air is
conveyed to the flame to further assist combustion, substantially as herein set forth
and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
