Improvements relating to connecting Incandescent Burners to the
Gas Supply.
I, THOMAS REDMAN, of the Priory, Bolton, Bradford, Yorks Gas Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to certain improvements in connection with incandescent
gas lighting, and my object, is to make a more durable connection between. the
burner and the gas supply flexible tube, in a manner that, no perceptable
deteriorating amount of heat is conveyed from the bunsen portion of the burner
to the flexible tube connection in case the bunsen portion of the burner becomes
hot by what is known as "back firing," and thus by my improvement to obviate
the possibility of the flexible tube becoming hot and automatically detaching.
itself from the connecting nipple of the burner.
In carrying out my improvement I form the screw connection for the burner
and the nipple connection for the flexible tube in any convenient manner, but
instead of directly coupling them together in the usual way, I connect them by
a circular or other suitably bent pipe curved in such a way that there is a passage
for air between the coil or coils of the connecting pipe or nipple, so that any
heat transferred from the burner is carried off by radiation before any heat liable
to damage the flexible tube reaches the end or nipple to which it is attached.

Improvements relating to connecting Incandescent Burners to the
Gas Supply.
J. THOMAS REDMAN, of the Priory, Bolton, Bradford, in the County of York,
Gas 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:
My invention relates to certain improvements in connection with incandescent
gas lighting in which a flexible tube is utilized in forming the connection, and
my object is to make a more durable connection between the gas burner and the
flexible tube in a manner that, no perceptible deterioratory amount of heat is
conveyed from the bunsen portion of the burner to the flexible tube connection,
in case the burner becomes hot by what is known as "back firing" and thus by
my improvement to obviate the possibility of the flexible tube becoming hot and
automatically detaching itself from the connecting nipple of the burner,

page_text: In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents an elevation of my improved
connection between the bunsen burner and the flexible tube and Fig. 2, is a
plan of the connection.
In carrying out my improvement, I form the screw connection of the burner A
and the nipple connection B for the flexible tube C in any convenient manner,
but instead of directly coupling them together by means of a short straight pipe
or nipple in the usual way, I connect them by bending the nipple connecting
pipe B into a circular elliptical or other suitable coiled form so that there is a
space D' between the coils of the connecting pipe B allowing the passage of air
between the coils of the said connection by which arrangement, any heat that
may be transmitted from the burner is carried away by radiation before it reaches
the end of the connecting nipple B to which the flexible tube C is attached, and
thus obviate the liability of the end of the flexible tube C becoming heated and
automatically detaching itself from the connecting nipple of the burner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
1. The connecting of incandescent gas burners to the flexible tube of the gas
supply by a coiled connecting tube B arranged substantially in the manner as
shown and described.
