Improvements in or relating to Incandescent Lamps.
I, ALBIN PERLICH, of 21, Marienstrasse, Leipzig-Eutritzsch, Germany,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The burner, which forms the object of the present invention, and is illustrated on
the drawing in Fig. 1 in longitudinal section, in Fig. 2 in cross section and in
Fig. 3 in top view, serves for the purpose of producing gas from spirit, and with
it to heat a glowing substance. In the long hollow ring A which is fastened upon
the spirit receptacle B are the wicks C which suck the spirit into the hollow
ring A. At its upper end the spirit is generated into gas, at first through
warming by means of a semi circular burner w, filled with a wick fed from a
special spirit receptacle a, then whilst in use by heat which is radiated from the
burner head D. This burner head has further the office to heat the generated
spirit-gas before mixing with the air and before its consumption.
The first warming of the burner w takes place at the slanting hole w¹. At the
latter the spirit is vapourized by warming with a match and ignited. The small
flame thus produced ignites then, by means of the plate y¹ upwardly slanting, a
flame at the holes w² of the burner w, which suffices to introduce the gasification
into the hollow ring A. This done, the burner w is extinguished. The gas,
developed at the upper end of the hollow ring A, passes through the fine openings a
into the cross pipe 6, from this into the short pipe e leading to the burner head D,
then into the burner head D itself, over the flange d and into the downward
leading internal pipe f. To this is attached a four cornered tubular frame g,
out of the opening of which the gas escapes, in order at 1, inside the hollow
ring A, to mix with the air streaming in through the pipe k. The mixture of air
and spirit-gas penetrates through the circular intermediate space m, crosses over
the pipes b to the sieve surface n on which the flame burns, that heats the burner
head D, and puts the glowing substance into a state of incandescence.
The burner can also be used for other combustible fluids, or applied to gas
installations.
In the case of the burner being used for combustible fluids, the extinguishing
arrangement, described below, can be used.
Оп
To the receptacle B, above the fluid level, a short stem r is arranged, the bore u
of which, at its front end, is provided with a quick-pitch thread in which the
spindle can be adjusted by means of the lever v. On screwing the spindle
inwards, the cone situated at its front end closes the channels u and t.
screwing the spindle outwards the two channels u and t are connected with each
other, so that the outside air is brought into connection with the interior of the.
receptacle.
In the latter case, the spirit-gas developed in the wick space A (Fig. 2) no
longer takes the previously described long way but the shorter, by simply going
downwards into the receptacle B, where an equalization of pressure with the outer
air through the channels ut now takes place. There being now no escape of
spirit-gas through the holes n, the flame is extinguished.

I, ALBIN PERLICH of 34, Lauensteinerstrasse, Dresden-Striesen, Germany
late of 21, Marienstrasse, Leipzig-Eutritzsch, 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:—
The burner, which forms the object of the present invention, and is illustrated
on the drawing (filed with the Provisional Specification) in
Fig. 1 in longitudinal section, in
Fig. 2 in cross section and in
Fig. 3 in top view, serves for the purpose of producing gas from spirit, and with
it to heat a glowing substance.
In the long hollow ring A which is fastened upon the spirit receptacle B are
the wicks C which suck the spirit into the hollow ring A. At its upper end the
spirit is generated into gas, at first through warming by means of a semi-circular
burner w, filled with a wick fed from a special spirit receptacle x, then whilst in
use by heat which is radiated from the burner head D. This burner head has
further the office to heat the generated spirit-gas before mixing with the air and
before its consumption.
The first warming of the burner w takes place at the slanting hole w¹. At
the latter the spirit is vapourized by warming with a match and ignited. The
small flame thus produced ignites then, by means of the plate y upwardly slanting,
a flame at the holes w² of the burner w, which suffices to introduce the gasification
into the hollow ring A. This done, the burner w is extinguished.
The gas, developed at the upper end of the hollow ring A, passes through the
fine openings a into the cross pipe b, from this into the short pipe e leading to
the burner head D, then into the burner head D itself, over the flange d and into the
downward leading internal pipe f. To this is attached a four cornered tubular
frame 9, out of the opening i of which the gas escapes, in order at l, inside the hollow

and spirit-gas penetrates through the circular intermediate space m, crosses over
the pipes 6 to the sieve surface n, on which the flame burns that heats the burner
head D, and puts the glowing substance into a state of incandescence.
The burner can also be used for other combustible fluids or applied to gas
installations.
In the case of the burner being used for combustible fluids, the extinguishing
arrangement, described below, can be used.
To the receptacle B, above the fluid level, a short stem is arranged, the bore u
of which, at its front end, is provided with a quick-pitch thread in which the
spindle can be adjusted by means of the lever v. On screwing the spindle
inwards, the cone situated at its front end closes the channels u and t. On
screwing the spindle outwards the two channels u and t are connected with each
other, so that the outside air is brought into connection with the interior of the
receptacle.
In the latter case, the spirit-gas developed in the wick space A (Fig. 2) no.
longer takes the previously described long way but the shorter, by simply going
downwards into the receptacle B, where an equalization of pressure with the outer
air through the channels ut now takes place. There being now no escape of
spirit-gas through the holes n, the flame is extinguished.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1 T
NON
insandossent light the combination of the burner

page_text: head D which heats the spirit-gas passing through it before its consumption, and
besides radiates warmth which serves for the gasification of the spirit with the
hollow-ring A containing the wicks, as described.
2. In a burner for spirit-gas incandescent light, the combination of the openings a
and of the pipe b which conduct the gas into the burner head D, and of the pipe f
as also of the four cornered tubular frame provided with openings i for the
transmission of the heated gas with the hollow ring A, the pipes k for the
admission of the air, and the circular slit m for letting out the combustible mixture
towards the sieve surface n of the burner, as described.
3. In a burner for spirit-gas incandescent light, the arrangement for the
preliminary warming of the incandescent light burner, consisting of the burner w
with slanting hole w¹ and conducting plate y', as described.
4. In a burner for spirit-gas incandescent light, the extinguishing arrangement
consisting of the channels ut and the cones, above the spirit level in the
receptacle B, as described.
