yuro-CarDom Spray Lamps or Burners Ior
Lighting and Heating.
I, MURDOUCH MACKAY of 24 Bluevale Street, in the City of Glasgow, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to hydro-carbon spray lamps or burners of the kind in which
steam is employed for spraying the hydro-carbon, the improvements having for object
to ensure greater economy and efficiency in working.
The improved lamp or burner consists of an open-ended and double cased
funnel of cylindrical or other form in one end of which is fitted the hydro-carbon
jet spraying apparatus or burner proper the flame of the burning hydro-carbon
issuing through the opposite end. This burner is composed of a tubular casing
in the interior of which is fitted an oil tube whose end projects in the form of a
nozzle from the upper end of the casing which extends into the lamp funnel.
The oil or hydro-carbon to supply the burner enters through a regulating valve
at the lower end of the tubular casing and passes through the oil tube to the
nozzle the oil being supplied from a tank or reservoir preferably by gravitation
and from the nozzle it is directed in the form of spray within the lamp funnel
by means of steam admitted to the tubular casing in the space surrounding the
oil tube and discharged through small orifices or perforations in a rose formed in
or under the oil jet or nozzle. The steam for spraying the hydro-carbon is led
from a supply pipe through the double casing or jacket of the lamp funnel and
thence by a pipe to the tubular casing of the "burner." To the lower end of the
steam jacket is fitted a drain pipe communicating with a steam trap through
which water of condensation from the steam is discharged, and the steam passing
to the burner is thus freed from moisture whilst it is superheated in its passage
to the burner by the heat of the part of the flame which burns within the
funnel, the risk of the flame being extinguished by moist steam being by these means
avoided.

I, MURDOUCH MACKAY of 24 Bluevale Street, in the City of Glasgow, 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
This Invention relates to hydro-carbon spray lamps or burners of the kind in which
steam or air is employed for spraying the hydro-carbon, the improvements having for
object to ensure greater economy and efficiency in working.
C
As represented in vertical section at figure 1 in elevation at figure 2 and in plan at
figure 3 of the accompanying drawings the improved lamp or burner consists of an
open ended and double cased funnel A of cylindrical or other form in one end of which
is fitted the hydro carbon jet spraying apparatus or burner proper the flame of the
burning hydro carbon issuing through the opposite end. This burner is composed of
a tubular casing B in the interior of which is fitted an oil tube C whose end projects
in the form of a nozzle c from the upper end of the casing which extends into the
lamp funnel A. The oil or hydro carbon to supply the burner enters through a
regulating valve D at the lower end of the tubular casing B and passes through the
oil tube to the nozzle the oil being supplied from a tank or reservoir preferably by
gravitation and from the nozzle c it is directed in the form of spray within the lamp
funnel by means of steam admitted to the tubular casing B in the space surrounding
the oil tube C and discharged through small orifices or perforations in a rose formed
in or under the oil jet or nozzle c. The steam for spraying the hydro carbon is led
from a supply pipe E provided with a valve F through the double casing or jacket a of
the lamp funnel A and thence by a pipe G led from a point near the upper end of the
funnel to the tubular casing B of the burner." To the lower end of the steam
jacket a is fitted a drain pipe H communicating with a steam irap or provided with a
drain cock through which water of condensation from the steam is discharged and the
steam passing to the burner is thus freed from moisture whilst it is superheated in its
passage to the burner by the heat of the part of the flame which burns within the
funnel A the risk of the flame being extinguished by moist steam being by these
means avoided.

The improved apparatus is equally adapted for being used with air under pressure
in lieu of steam for spraying the hydro carbon.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination of parts constituting the improved hydro carbon spray lamp or
burner herein before described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. In a hydro carbon spray lamp the combination of the jacketed funnel A and the
burner B, C, constructed substantially as hereinbefore described.
3. In a hydro carbon spray lamp or burner the provision of a jacketed funnel (A)
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
