Appliance for the Quick and Proper Adjustment of the Blue Flame
in Gas-light Incandescent Burners.
I, FRITZ FUSSHÖLLER, Gas Engineer, and Manager of the Town Gasworks, in
Siegburg, in the Province of Rhineland, Germany, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
It is very troublesome, requires much time and is moreover very important for
the proper working of gas-incandescent burners to adjust the gas tewel holes,
which according to the existent gas-pressure must ordinarily be either enlarged or
tightened. When the small tewel-holes are not regulated according to the special
gas-pressure of the respective lamp, lantern and the like thus either too small or
too large, the incandescent body cannot display its radiance in the full effect or the
gas-consumption will get too high. I describe hereafter a very simple appliance
for regulating the gas-supply in incandescent gas-burners; the same is represented
in the annexed drawing in the double natural size.
Fig. 1 shows the exterior view of the mixing-tube of a burner, the burner-head
being put over; a is the blue-flame of the lighted gas- and air-mixture, the simple
and proper adjustment of which is to be realized or intended.
Fig. 2 shows the longitudinal section through the mixing-tube without burner-
head; the regulating appliance is not in activity here.
Fig. 3 shows the very same longitudinal section, the regulating appliance being
drawn down respectively in activity.
Fig. 4 shows a cross-section according to -- (Fig. 2).
In the lengthened mixing-tube b, serving at the same time as guidance, moves
an exactly adjusted cylindrical slider c, which can be moved up and down on the
handle e by means of the tie-rod d.
On the slider c there are provided needles f in a number and position correspond-
ing to the number and position of the holes in the gas-tewel g.
This needles have at their lower end conical points and are joined together by
means of the slider c and held in such a position over g that all the points of the
needles simultaneously and equally enter in the openigs of g, when the slider c is
let down.
At the side of the mixing tube between two air-holes, an oblong slit h with screw
for moving up and down the slider is guided and can be fastened in every heigth.
When the slider c is drawn down the points of the needles f enter into the holes o
of the gas-tewel narrowing the escape of the gas respectively regulating it.
This regulating appliance works completely without any noise whatever.

It is very troublesome, requires much time and is moreover very important for
the proper working of gas-incandescent burners to adjust the gas nozzle holes,
which according to the existent gas-pressure must ordinarily be either enlarged
or tightened. When the small holes are not regulated according to the
special gas-pressure of the respective lamp, lantern and the like thus
either too small or too large, the incandescent body cannot display its
radiance in the full effect or the gas-consumption will get too high, I describe
hereafter a very simple appliance for regulating the gas-supply in incandescent
gas-burners; the same is represented in the drawing filed with the Provisional
Specification in the double natural size.
Fig. 1 shows the exterior view of the mixing-tube of a burner on which the
burner-head is shoven over; a is the blue-flame of the lighted gas- and air-
mixture, the simple and proper adjustment of which is to be realized or intended.
Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the mixing-tube without burner-
head;
the regulating appliance is here upwards lifted, and accordingly
Fig. 3 shows the same longitudinal section as Fig. 2, however the regulating
appliance is here drawn down consequently working.

Fig. 4 shows a gross section according to the line - in Fig. 2.

In the lengthened mixing-tube b, serving at the same time as guidance, moves
an exactly adjusted cylindrical slider c, which can be moved. up and down with
the handle e by means of the tie-rod d.
On the slider c there are provided needles f in a number and position correspond-
ing to the number and position of the holes in the gas-nozzle g.
The needles f have at their lower end conical points and are joined together by
means of the slider c and held in such a position over 9 that all the points of the
needles simultaneously and equally enter in the openings of g, when the slider c is
let down.
At the side of the mixing tube between two air-holes, a small slit h is arranged
in which a screw connected with the handle e for moving up and down the slider c
is guided and can be fastened in every height.
When the slider c is drawn down the points of the needles f enter into the holes
of the gas-nozzle g, narrowing the escape of the gas thus regulating it.
This regulating appliance works completely without any noise whatever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed
