Improvements in or connected with Burners for Gas and other
Lamps.
I, RICHARD GÄBEL, of 19 Pirnaischestrasse, Dresden, in the Kingdom of
Saxony, German Empire, Mechanist, do heroby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly describet
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The subject of the present invention is a burnor head for incandescent gas and
similar lainps which contains four details as new invention, that is the metallic
head riddles which have interchangeable ribs stamped through below and above;
further the shade-holder which consists of only two metallic plates stamped out
which are connected with each other without rivetting and soldering; thirdly a
horizontal ring with a bell provided with openings, which ring will be put round
that part of the tube which has the openings for the air entrance for regulating
the flow of air in the mixing chamber; finally the fastening of the insulating ring
without any thread.
In the accompanying drawings the improvements are represented.
Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of the burner head,
Fig. 2 shows in plan and section the regulating device,
Fig. 3 shows a plan of the metallic head riddle,
Fig. 4 shows a side elevation of the shade-holder,
Fige. 5 and 6 show in plan two details of the shade-holder,
Figs. 7 and 8 are side elevatious of two details, and
Fig. 9 shows in plan the finished shade-holder.
The burner head riddle device consists of a box-like case (m) in the top of
which openings are provided in such a manner that by means of stamps, ribs (n and o)
are formed alternately. In the hollow of the piece (m) a second riddle or sieve (v)
is fastened at a suitable height which has similar ribs (p and 9) and openings as
the sieve in the top of the piece (m). Both sieves are connected by the socket (r).
With its lower portion the box like piece (m) is put upon the insulating
ring (). The advantage against other sieves consists in the durability and
solidity of the ribs.
The shade-holder is manufactured from two metal plates in such a way, that
firstly star-like figures, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, are stamped out. The greater
star (Fig. 5) bas in its spokes (a) openings (w) and forms, as said below, the outer
bell of the shade-holder. The smaller star (Fig. 6) has on its spokes (b) spurs (t)
the ends of which are called (d). This small star serves for forming the interior
of the shade-holder. After finishing, the great star (Fig. 5) has the cup-like
shape of Fig. 7, the smaller star on the contrary has the bell-like shape of Fig. 8.
In this state the bell-like form is put into the interior of the cup-like form of
Fig. 7 and connected with the latter by passing the ends (d) of the spokes (b)
through the openings (w) of the cup form (Fig. 7) as shown in Fig. 9. In this
fastening the spurs (t) lean against the inner walls of the spokes (a). For
securing the connection the pads (c) yet are stamped through in the ends (d) from
above to below and by this, that is by the pad edges (c) the spokes (a) are
pressed against the spurs (t) of the spokes (b) so that the spokes (a) can slide
neither towards outside nor inside on the spokes (b) or on the ends (d). After
this the terminals or ends (d) are bent over in order to prevent the glass from
missing its place.

page_text: The advantages of this manufacturing consist in the great simplification of
work.
The regulating device for the influx of air consists in a ring (e) surrounding
the tube (f) and having the same number of openings (g) as that tube. This
ring is turning horizontally and covers more or less the openings (9) of the
tube (f) by its walls. Naturally it closes tightly round the tube (f). For
handling this ring better it is provided at its upper part with a bell (4) which in
Buitable distance apart from the ring (e) extends over the openings of this riug
towards below. This bell serves partly as a handle for moving this ring and
partly for preventing the striking back of the flame to the bottom through the
openings (9).
The fastening of the insulating ring (k) is made in this way that after drawing
the insulating ring over a socket (e) which is flanged at its upper end the shade-
holder is brought on the socket (e) and the lower end of the latter is also
flanged. The insulation (k) lies at the top against the edge of the socket (e) and
at the bottom upon the interior bell of the shade-holder and is fastened theroby
more than sufficient. (i) represents the gas-injector which discharges into the
gas chamber, (s) represents the glass cylinder.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In burners for gas and other lamps the combination of a regulating device
for the influx of air consisting of a ring surrounding the central gas tube and
provided with openings, with a shade-holder consisting of two stamped metal
plates transformed into the suitable shape and arranged above the said regulating
device and round the said central tube, with the burner head sievo device
consisting of a box like case with two sieves and arranged at and round the upper
end of the said ceutral tube, and with an insulating ring arranged also at and
round the upper end of the said central tube and between the latter and the said
case of the sieve device and resting at the bottom upon the shade-holder; as and
for the purpose set forth.
2. In burners for gas and other lamps a regulating device for the influx of air
consisting of a horizontally turning ring surrounding and closing tightly round
the central tube and having the same number of openings as tho central tube;
said ring being provided at its upper part with a bell being arranged a suitable
dietance apart and extending towards below over the openings of the ring.
3. In burners for gas and other lamps a shade-holder cousisting of two stamped
star-like metal pieces one of which being cup shaped and provided with openings
and the other being bell shaped and having spokes with spurs which spokes being
passed through the openings of the cup shaped part and being bent over at its
ends; as and for the purpose set forth.
4. In burners for gas and other lamps a burner head sieve device consisting of
a box-like case with ribs and openings in the top forming a slide, which ribs being
pressed alternately towards below and above and with a similar sieve fastened at a
suitable height inside in the hollow of the case and provided with similar ribs aud
openings as the former sieve of the said case, both sieves being connected by a
socket leading through the middle of them; as and for the purpose set forth.
