Improvements in Burners and Vaporisers for Liquid Combustibles..
I, LOUIS RUNGE of 9 Landsbergerstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
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 :-
This invention relates to burners and vaporisers for liquid combustibles and has
for its object to obtain a simplified arrangement of the vaporiser, and a better
action of the vapour, and to provide an arrangement for easily and conveniently
removing the incandescent body carrier.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the improved arrangement, and
Figure 2 an elevation.
The liquid combustible enters at the bottom of the burner foot a and is:
conveyed through a passage band by means of one or more pipes e to the bottom
of a vapour producing cylinder d. In this cylinder d which is situated in the
middle of the illuminating flame, the liquid fuel is converted into vapour, and is
conveyed as vapour from the upper part of said cylinder through a pipe e back to
the burner foot a where, after passing a regulating device f, it is discharged from
a centrally arranged nozzle g and rises in a mixing chamber to the incandescent
body. The mixing chamber is formed of a tube / screwed on the burner foot a,
into which tube air is drawn through openings i. A bell-casing k hanging freely
on a ring bas for its object to retain the heat in the lower part of the mixing
chamber and to protect the incandescent body from the flame of the heating dish
or pan arranged beneath the burner foot.
By lifting off the bell k, the nozzle g can be reached through one of the
openings for cleaning purposes.
i
Over the vapour producing cylinder d, the incandescent-body-carrier, together
with the burner gallery, is removably placed. A ring m embracing the cylinder d
carries bars or wires n which project upwards beyond the top of the cylinder d
and are bent together at the top to form a fork o in which the incandescent body
muy be suspended. On the circumference of the ring m a wire network or grid p.
is fastened and attached to the head of a tubular piece 9; this piece 9 encloses
or embraces the mixing pipe h on which it rests, and carries outside the burner
gallery 1.
The vapour flowing from the nozzle before reaching the grid p encounters a
hood or cap s suspended over the lower end of the cylinder d, and passes through
openings therein. By this means the otherwise easily produced distracting noise
is avoided.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improvement in burners and vaporisers for liquid combustibles consisting
in conveying the liquid combustible through one or more pipes (c) from the burner
foot (a) to a vapour producing cylinder (d) and as vapour from the upper part of
the cylinder through a tube (e) back again to the burner foot whence, after passing
through a regulating device (f), it is discharged from a centrally arranged
nozzle (9) substantially as described

page_text: 2. In a vaporiser such as described, a removable incandescent-body-carrier
comprising a ring (m) adapted to be placed over the vapour producing cylinder (d),
bars (n) carried by said ring which are bent together at the top to carry the
incandescent body and a grid (p) surrounding said ring and attached to a tube (q)
which carries the burner gallery (u) substantially as described.
