PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Oil Atomizer for Gas Carburetters.
I SAMUEL CUTLER, of Providence Iron Works, Millwall, in the County of
London, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Where oil or other liquid is used for carburetting illuminating gas, it is desirable
to introduce it into the carburetting chamber in a finely divided condition and also
to provide for adjustment of the area of the spray, the object of this invention
being the attainment of these ends.
In carrying out this invention a circular inlet chamber depending into the
carburetter and terminated with a nozzle of suitable form is provided. Within
this chamber is placed, concentrically with it, a core rod of smaller diameter having
its lower end enlarged to fit the bore of the chamber and its upper end fitted.
with a stuffing box and indicator. The enlarged lower end of the core rod is
internally recessed or cupped and pierced with a series of holes preferably placed
obliquely.
The liquid enters the inlet chamber at a suitable pressure and, flowing down the
annular space formed between the inner surface of the chamber and the internal
core rod, passes through the beforementioned holes into the recess or cup where it
gyrates at a high velocity and is ejected through the beforementioned nozzle in a
finely atomized condition: To adjust the area of the spray the internal core is
raised or depressed by means of a screw or other suitable device at its upper
end which latter may be fitted with an indicator to show the position of the
core rod.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Oil Atomizer for Gas Carburetters.
I, SAMUEL CUTLER, of Providence Iron Works, Millwall, in the County of
London, 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 :-
Where oil or other liquid is used for carburetting illuminating gas it is desirable
to introduce it into the carburetting chamber in a finely divided condition and also
to provide for the adjustment of the area of the spray, the object of this invention
being the attainment of these ends.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of an improved oil atomizer constructed according to this
invention, Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same,
Fig. 3 is a plan of Fig. 1,

page_text: In carrying out this invention a circular inlet, chamber A depending into the
carburetter and terminated with a nozzle B of suitable form is provided. Within
the chamber A is placed concentrically a core rod C of smaller diameter having
its lower end D enlarged to correspond with the bore of the chamber A and its
upper end fitted with a bolt E provided with a screw thread J which passes through
a stuffing box F screwed into the top of the circular inlet chamber A, the said bolt
being provided at the top with a handle G which also acts as an indicator hand
and shows the area of the spray on the dial plate I attached to the stuffing
box F.
The enlarged end D of the core rod C is internally recessed, or cupped and
pierced with a series of holes H. preferably placed obliquely.
The liquid enters the inlet chamber A at a suitable pressure and flowing down
the annular space formed between the inner surfaces of the chamber A and the
internal core, rod C passes through the beforementioned holes H into the recess or
cup D where it gyrates at a high velocity and passes out through the nozzle B in
an atomized condition. To adjust the area of the spray the internal core rod C is
raised or depressed by means of the handle G acting upon the screw thread J on
the bolt E.
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. In combination with a gas carburetter, an oil atomizer formed of an exterior
casing and an interior core, with a recessed chamber in its lower end, said core
being adapted to be raised or lowered to give a varying area of spray, all
substantially as described.
2. An improved oil atomizer for gas carburetters, substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.
