IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR GAS BURNERS
Year: 1884

page_text: I THOMAS SINGLETON of Bank Top Over Darwen in the county of Lancaster
Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN HOLDERS FOR GAS BURNERS," to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct holders for gas burners, to which
burners can be used singly or in a duplex form, and which are easily and readily
adjusted or put on and taken off.
I construct my holders for duplex or triple burners so that they slide or separately
swivel on the stem or plug of the gas tube, and one or the other may be turned or
swivelled outwards, so that one burner or either of them can be easily adjusted, at
the same time the gas is shut off; one or both of the holders, for the burners are
loose so as to swivel upon the stem of the pipe, the burners are put into the holders
at an angle, so that the flames come in contact, and the gas is burnt to the best
advantage as to illumination, two or more sets of duplex burners may be applied
to each set of swivelling holders, according to the light required. Or swivelling
holders may be placed upon the stem of the pipe, on opposite sides, and the burners
put in at angles. Or the holders may be arranged to slide apart upon the stem or
plug of the pipe.

page_text: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I THOMAS SINGLETON of Bank Top Over Darwen in the county of Lancaster
Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN HOLDERS FOR GAS BURNERS," and in what manner the saine
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The object of my invention is to construct holders for gas burners to which
burners can be used in a duplex form, and which are easily and readily adjusted
or put on and taken off.
I construct my holders for duplex or triple burners so that they slide or
separately swivel on the stem or plug of the gas tube or conical tube and one or
the other may be turned or swivelled outwards so that one burner or either of
them can be easily adjusted, at the same time the gas is shut off one or both of the
burners.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my invention shewing a swivelling duplex burner
holder with burners.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1: shewing one burner and holder, turned or
swivelled aside.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 shews a front elevation of duplex swivelling burner holder for chandeliers
or brackets.
Fig. 5 shews a triplo burner holder.
Fig. 6 shews a double duplex burner holder
Fig. 7 shews another modification of double or triple burner holders both
sliding and swivelling.
Fig. 8 is another modification of duplex burner holders.
A. A. are my holders for duplex or triple burners constructed so that they slide
or separately swivel on the stein or plug B, of the gas tube and one or the other
may be turned or swivelled outwards, so that one burner or either of them can be
easily adjusted, at the same time the gas is shut off one or both of the holders for
the burners are loose so as to swivel upon the stem or the pipe of the holder, the
burners are put into the holders at an angle, so that the flames come in contact
and the gas is burnt to the best advantage as to illumination; two or more sets
of duplex burners (see Fig. 6) may be applied to each set of swivelling holders
according to the light required.
Or swivelling holders may be placed upon the stem of the pipe, on opposite sides
(see Fig. 8) and the burners put in at angles. Or the holders may be arranged
to slide apart upon the stem or plug of the pipe, or one holder may screw into the
side of the other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I do not claim the
duplex burner or triple burner, but I declare that what I claim is :—
1. Swivelling or sliding burner holders of any number, as shewn and described.
