We ROBERT ANDREWS GILSON Merchant and WILLIAM JOSEPH BOOER Engineer
both of 180 Union Street Southwark in the county of Surrey do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to prevent atmospheric gas burners from lighting
back at the air inlet opening, also applicable to all kinds of atmospheric gas burners
made with gas barrel or metal tube.
We effect this object by cutting the gas barrel or metal tube, at or near the centre
of its length and covering the diameter of the gas barrel or tube with metal wire
gauze, we then connect the two cut ends together with the metal gauze between by
means of a socket or other fastening. We apply this invention to our Soldering Irons
as described in our Specification of this date No. 11424, also to atmospheric gas
burners as used for Gas Kilns for firing glass and porcelain, also to the atmospheric gas
burners used for heating Bakers Ovens and Cooking Stoves and all other forms of
atmospheric gas burners straight or curved, fixed perpendicular, horizontal or at any
other angle.

Improvements in Atmospheric Gas Burners.
We, ROBERT ANDREWS GILSON, Merchant, and WILLIAM JOSEPH BOOER,
Engineer, both of 180 Union Street, Southwark, in the county of Surrey, 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 object of this invention is to prevent atmospheric gas burners from lighting
back at the air inlet opening, as applied to Soldering Irons, Kilns, ovens, and atino-
spheric Gas burners for heat ingpurposes. We effect this object by cutting the gas
barrel or other metal tube at, or near the centre of its length, and covering the
diameter of barrel or tube with wire gauze, and then connecting the ends together
with the gauze between by means of a socket or other fastening.
In order that our said invention may be clearly understood, reference is hereby
made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate
corresponding parts in the several figures. Fig. 1 is a section of the barrel or tube,
showing how and where the gauze is fixed, and how the cut tubes or barrels are
joined together. A to B is the gauze line, C is a nipple to unite the two sockets
D and E.
Fig. 2 is the outside view of the barrel or tube, as joined together with the
gauze in.
Fig. 3 is the same view but with a larger barrel or tube at the exit end, this
arrangement we use preferably for some purposes.
Fig. 4 is a cross section at A and B of Fig. 1 looking downwards unto the gauze.
We preferably use No. 28 brass wire gauze.
Having thus particularly described, and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same shall be performed, we claim―
The use and construction of atmospheric gas burners, fitted with wire gauze,
substantially as herein described and set forth in the Drawings.
Dated this Seventh day of June 1887.
