page_text: I BARUCH CARS of the Lion Lamp Works Charlotte Street Great Eastern Street
Shoreditch in the County of Middlesex Manager do hereby declare the nature of
the said Invention to be as follows:-
The Invention has for its object improvements in burners for hydrocarbon oils
and relates to that class of burners in which the cone or cones and gallery together
with the chimney and globe or shade or the cone or cones and chimney alone are
capable of being raised a certain distance above the wick tube or tubes for the
purpose of filling and trimming and lighting the lamp.
For this purpose I form the upper part of the burner carrying the cone or cones
and sometimes the gallery with a central descending leg or standard to slide and
revolve in a guide or guides formed in or carried by the lower part of the burner
fitting and I provide such leg or standard with a catch or catches to act in
conjunction with corresponding parts formed in or carried by the burner fitting in
order that when the upper part of the burner has been raised and a partial
rotation given thereto it will be there held until the catches are disengaged by a
reverse movement.
Or I may form the leg or standard with a screw thread for a certain portion of
its length and in lieu of the catch or catches I may employ a nut corresponding
with the screw thread whereby the upper part of the burner may be raised to the
required extent by giving several revolutions thereto in one direction and may be
lowered by a reverse movement.
By these means the upper part of the burner and the cone or cones and gallery
together with the chimney and globe may be raised and securely held in that
position while the lamp is being filled or trimmed or lighted.

I BARUCH CARS of the Lion Lamp Works, Charlotte Street, Great Eastern Street
Shoreditch in the County of Middlesex, Manager 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 invention has for its object improvements in burners for hydro-carbon oils
and relates to that class of burners in which the cone or cones and gallery together
with the chimney and globe or shade or the cone or cones and chimney alone are
capable of being raised a certain distance above the wick tube or tubes for the
purpose of filling and trimming and lighting the lamp.
For this purpose I form the upper part of the burner carrying the cone or cones
and sometimes the gallery with a central descending leg or standard to slide and
revolve in a guide or guides formed in or carried by the lower part of the burner
fitting and I provide such leg or standard with a catch or catches to act in
conjunction with corresponding parts formed in or carried by the burner fitting in
order that when the upper part of the burner has been raised and a partial
rotation given thereto, it will be there held until the catches are disengaged by a
reverse movement.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood and
readily carried into effect, I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings
more fully to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is an elevation of a burner constructed according to my invention and
showing the upper part of the burner in its raised position and Figure 2 is a
separate view of part thereof taken at right angles to the position shown at
Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a vertical section of a modified form of burner and Figure 4
is a horizontal section thereof taken on the line 1, 1, of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a vertical section and Figure 6 is a horizontal section taken on the
line 2, 2, of Figure 5 representing a further modification.
In all the figures like parts are marked with similar letters of reference.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2 a represents the upper part of the burner which is
formed or provided with a central descending leg or standard a¹ secured by
rivetting or otherwise to a cross bar a³ which latter is carried by the cone or it
might be carried by some other part of the burner.
This descending leg or standard a¹ is arranged to slide in guides 61, 6*, formed in
or carried by the lower part of the burner fitting b and I provide such leg or
standard a¹ with a catch a³ or it might be with catches to act in conjunction with
a corresponding recess or recesses b³ formed in the guide 6 or it or they might be
formed or placed in some other convenient part of the burner fitting.
The recess b³ in the guide 2 is formed with a descending part or notch b* to
receive the catch or stud a³ and prevent accidental movement of the upper part a
of the burner.

page_text: The guide 6 is formed with a slit or opening 6 on one side thereof in which the
catch or stud as slides, thus ensuring the upper part a of the burner being lowered
into the position necessary to bring the aperture or apertures in the cone correctly
over the wick tube or tubes. Other means may however be employed to effect this
object.
By the arrangement above described when the upper part a of the burner has
been raised and a partial rotation given thereto it will be there held until the catch
or stud a³ is disengaged from the recess b³ by a reverse movement, when the upper
part of the burner may be lowered into its normal position.
In the modified form of burner shown at Figures 3 and 4 I employ in addition
to the central descending leg al two short legs at a in order to give additional
steadiness to the upper part a of the burner when it is in its raised position.
These short legs a' are constructed to slide in guides 66 formed by the enlarged
circular ends of the curved slots 6' in the plate 68.
The lower ends of the short legs at are formed with circumferential grooves a
of a diameter equal to the width of the smaller part of the curved slots 67.
According to this arrangement if the upper part a of the burner is raised until it
is arrested by the catch or stud a³ and then partially revolved the edges of the
plate be forming the sides of the smaller parts of the slots b' will enter into the
circumferential grooves as in the short legs a' and the upper part of the burner a
will thus be firmly supported in its raised position whilst by a reverse movement
it may be allowed to descend into its normal position.
In the modification shown at Figures 5 and 6 the descending leg or standard a¹
and the parts acting in conjunction therewith are placed at one side of the burner
and only one short leg a' is employed otherwise the various parts and their action
are similar to those described with respect to Figures 3 and 4 except that instead
of the recess 6 a piece of wire bent to a suitable shape is employed to act in
connection with the catch a³ to hold the upper part of the burner in its raised
position, and the guide 62 is formed somewhat shorter and without the slit or
opening b
By the aid of my invention the upper part of the burner and the cone or cones
and gallery together with the chimney and globe may be raised and securely held
in that position while the lamp is being trimmed or filled or lighted.
I would here remark that since filing my provisional specification I have
discovered that the screw threaded form of descending leg or standard therein
described does not possess such utility as to render it advisable to retain any
claim thereto and I therefore desire to disclaim and I do hereby disclaim such
arrangement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
A burner for hydro-carbon oils, the upper part a of which is provided with a
descending leg such as a¹ sliding in guides such as 6' 6' formed in or carried by the
lower part 6 of the burner suitable catches or fastenings being provided so that
when the upper part of the burner has been raised and a partial rotation given
thereto it will be there held until the catches or fastenings are disengaged by a
reverse movement all substantially as herein shown and described.
