Improvements in Blow Lamps or Roarers for Soldering Purposes.
ARTHUR FORD-LLOYD, Electrician, 95 High Street Southampton Hants do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in roarers or blow lamps for soldering
purposes. Hitherto considerable difficulty has arisen in providing fire pots etc. for
the heating of soldering irons. This invention enables soldering irons to be heated
in a quick & easy manner from ordinary roarers or blow lamps. According to
one part of my invention of roarers or blow lamps of any ordinary present make or
special make roarer or blow lamp, I provide with a soldering iron which I fix on to
nozzle of burner or any part of lamp in such manner that the soldering iron can
be heated by the flame of roarer or blow lamp for ordinary soldering purposes. If
the soldering iron is not required to be used it can be taken off roarer or blow
lamp and the lamp can be used for ordinary purposes, or, the soldering iron can
be fixed on to lamp. Where lamps are required to be used with soldering iron
for outside work I provide a shield or wind guard over iron. Another part of my
improvement relating to roarers or blow lamps or special make roarer or blow
lamp consists in fixing on in any suitable manner a heating tube which I may
make in the shape of a hollow T piece the T end of the aforesaid T piece I fix on
to nozzle of roarer or blow lamp, or may be made in such manner as to be taken
off when not wanted. When a soldering iron of ordinary make is required to be
heated the soldering iron is put into the hollow part of the straight tube of the T
when lamp is lighted the iron is heated from flame of roarer or blow lamp.

Improvements in Blow Lamps or Roarers for Soldering Purposes.
I, ARTHUR FORD-LLOYD of 95 High Street, Southampton, in the County of
Hants, Electrician, 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 improvements in blow lamps or roarers for soldering
purposes. Hitherto considerable difficulty has arisen in providing fire pots and
the like for the heating of soldering irons.
This invention enables soldering irons to be heated in a quick and easy manner
by ordinary blow lamps or roarers.
In the accompanying drawings Figs. 1 and 2 shew in elevation an ordinary
blow lamp or roarer with fittings constructed and adapted to same, according to
one form or modification of my invention Fig. 3 shews in elevation an ordinary
blow lamp or roarer with fittings constructed and adapted to same in accordance
Price 1

page_text: with another form, or modification of my invention. Fig. 4) is a view of one
description of my fittings apart from the blow lamp or roarer, Fig. 1, showing the
same fittings attached to the blow lamp or roarer ready for use with same.
According to one form of my invention (see Figs. 1 and 2) I provide a soldering
iron A, fixed on to a clip fitting B, which I attach to the nozzle D of the burner
of a roarer or blow lamp C. in such a manner that the soldering iron can be
heated by the flame of blow lamp or roarer for ordinary soldering purposes, the
fitting B and attached soldering iron A can be so fitted on nozzle that it may be
as easily removed from same at will, as attached, or the fitting B can be
permanently fixed to the nozzle of any ordinary blow lamp if so desired.
When lamps are required for use with soldering irons for outside work I
provide on a fitting B a shield or wind guard E. Referring to Fig. 3; according
to another form or modification of my invention I provide for an ordinary blow
lamp or roarer C, a portable tee or similar shaped fitting F one part of which is
passed over and suitably attached to the nozzle of blow lamp or roarer, and to
heat an ordinary soldering iron G the same is passed into the other part, or
through-way, of tee piece as shewn, the flame from the blow lamp or roarer
obviously heating the soldering iron.
According to my invention I do not coufine myself to the use, with the parts of
same described, of any particular form of blow lamp or roarer but I may adapt
my fittings so as to fit any ordinary or specially made form of blow lamp or roarer.
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:-
1st. In combination with a blow lamp or roarer, a soldering iron constructed,
and fitted to the former, in manner hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings, for the purpose specified.
2nd. A combined blow lamp or roarer and soldering iron constructed in manner
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings for the
purpose specified.
3rd. In combination with a blow lamp or roarer a fitting F, or similar thereto,
adapted to heat an ordinary soldering iron, in manner hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 30th day of October 1896.
