or Smoke to be Used for Heating or Lighting Purposes.
GERARD THOMAS CHINNERY Farnacres Gateshead on Tyne Chemical Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This apparatus consists firstly of a vessel made of iron or other suitable material for
holding the oil-The top or cover of this vessel is provided with several vent holes, so
that ordinary combustion of the oil, is supported when being burnt.
Secondly Inside the beforementioned vessel is fixed an ejector made of brass or
other material and which is supplied through a pipe with compressed air, steam, or air
and steam combined, in such a way that the gases or smoke generated by the
burning oil are drawn into the ejector and mixed with the compressed air, steam
or air and steam combined and then forced out of the vessel through a hole made for
that purpose.
This mixture of mineral oil gases or smoke and compressed air, steam, or air
and steam is of a highly inflamable nature and burns with a white light of great
heat.

We, WALTER MORSEBY CHINNERY of Bartholomew House in the City of London,
Dealer in Stocks and Shares and HENRY HILL of the Bank of England, Newcastle,
Banker Executors of the late Gerard Thomas Chinnery of Farnacres, Gateshead-on-
Tyne, Chemical Manufacturer 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 apparatus consists of a vessel holding the oil.
Inside this vessel is fixed an ejector supplied through a pipe with compressed air,
steam or a mixture of air and steam. The oil in the vessel being ignited burns very
imperfectly giving off a volume of oil vapour gases or smoke. These are more or less
drawn into the ejector and being mixed with the air, steam or mixture of air and
steam are forced out of the vessel through a hole producing a bright and hot
flame.
Apparatus according to this invention is shewn in vertical section by the accom-
panying drawing. On a stand or framing A of convenient height is mounted a
vessel B containing mineral oil. In the lower part of the vessel is a coil or set of
pipes C, through which steam is passed when necessary to heat the oil. By a
pipe D compressed air or steam or a mixture of these is led to an ejector E which has
a lateral branch F opening from the space above, the oil in the vessel. Centrally
above the ejector E there is a hole G through the cover of the vessel, and at another
part of the cover there is a hole H provided with a slide door or shutter by which it
can be closed. By a light introduced at the hole H the oil is ignited, and very
imperfect combustion goes on producing combustible vapours and gases in the space
above the oil. The kindling hole H being closed compressed air or steam or a mixture
of air and steam is admitted by the pipe D, and this rushing through the ejector E,
draws in the vapours and gases by the branch F, and sends these mixed with the air
or steam through the hole G, where the mixture burns in a flame of great heat and
brilliancy.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
The construction and use of apparatus for combustion of mineral oil, substantially
as herein described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
