An Improvement in Acetylene Gas Burners.
CHARLES HENRY WORSNOP, Lamp Manufacturer, Carlton Place, Halifax, and
JOIN HAROLD BARRACLOUGH, General Dealer, Thornton, Yorkshire, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
This invention relates to a new method of making gas burners, which are most
applicable in burning acetylene gas.
The burners that are in general use at present choke up with a glue-like sub-
stance, which is formed in the burning of acetylene gas.
We have invented a burner in which a pin is provided to clean the outlet in
a moment..
For the better comprehension of our invention we refer you to drawing
Bent herewith, upon which Figure 1 represents the burner complete with a solid
cone A in which a straight hole B & a bye-pass hole C is bored. D is the pin
which passes up the hole & out at B when pressed at E. F is the spiral spring
which brings the pin back to its place. G is a brass bush screwed into the
bottom part of the burner through which a hole is bored to allow the rod H to
pass upwards & downwards.
I is a washer made of rubber, or any other packing material.
K is a metal washer to keep I in its place & make a tight joint.
L is the gas way which screws into pipe or other gas fitting.
Figure 2 shows another form in which we use a tube M for the top part of the
burner instead of the solid cone. N is the hole which allows the gas to go into
the tube & out at B, at which place it burns.

For the better comprehension of our invention, we refer you to the drawing
filed with our Provisional Specification, upon which Figure 1 represents the
burner complete with a solid cone A in which a straight hole B and a bye-pass
hole Care bored. 1) is the pin which passes up the hole and out at B, when
pressed at E. F is the spiral spring which brings the pin back to its place. G is
a brass bush screwed into the bottom part of the burner through which a hole
is bored to allow the rod H to pass upwards and downwards. I is a washer made

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:-
A gas burner containing inside the body of the burner a spring and a pin
intended for cleaning the aperture out of which the gas passes.
