1 RICHARD WALTER PUGH of 89 Broad Street Pendleton Manchester in the County
of Lancaster House Decorator do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to that class of gas lamps wherein a circular burner or
burners, is or are used, and relates principally to outside pillar and bracket lamps.
My invention consists of an improved method of constructing such lamps so as to
adapt them to the regenerative principle whereby a more brilliant light is produced.
In making
an outside lamp with an octagonal or other polygonal sided outer glass
I employ radiating tubes corresponding with the angles and open at both ends, the
inner ends of these tubes are connected to a larger central tube which passes downwards
and terminates just above the top of the burner or burners so as to supply air to the
upper side of the flame, and a similar central tube is carried upwards from the bottom
of the lamp to supply air to the bottom of the flame.
Over the entrances to the mouths or outside ends of these tubes I form a shield to
protect the air inlets from wind or currents of air.
Above the upper tube I provide a chimney to allow the products of combustion to
escape.
The gas supply pipe may pass to the burner either from above or from below as
be preferred.

If the former, the lower end of the same above the burner is enlarged so as to form
a cell or regenerator for heating the gas, or, if the gas pipe passes in from below it is
carried upwards through the centre of the tubes, and then down a central pipe to the
burner or burners.
The burner is in this case provided with a hollow wall and the air passes up through
the centre of the burner around the gas pipe, and at the top the outer gas pipo is
enlarged so as to form a cell or regenerator, it also serves to spread the top part of the
flame.
A slight distance above this I place a cap leaving a space between for the circulation
of air so as to keep the gas from becoming over heated.

page_text: This cap also forms a reflector for the light. The burner is fitted with a cross pipe
through which the gas passes from the outer gas pipe to the burner after it has passed
through the regenerator, so that the gas becomes heated before it issues from the
burner and thus mixes more freely with the heated air.
When however the gas pipe passes down from above I do not use the hollow walls
to the burner, but heat the gas by means of a cell which is formed by an enlargement
of the gas pipe above the burner, which is constructed of a saucer shape so as to
spread the flame and ai the same time act as a reflector.

page_text: I RICHARD WALTER PUGH of 89 Broad Street Pendleton Manchester in the County
of Lancaster House Decorator 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 that class of gas lamps wherein a circular burner (or burners)
is (or are) used, and relates principally to outside pillar and bracket lamps.
My invention consists of an improved method of constructing such lamps so as to
adapt them to the regenerative principle whereby a more brilliant light is produced.
The nature of my invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed
or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference to the three
sheets of drawings hereunto annexed and the following explanation thereof.
Sheet 1 of the drawings represents a vertical section of an outside bracket suspended
lamp constructed according to my invention with an octagonal or other polygonal
outer glass or body a. In this form of lamp I employ radiating tubes b corresponding
with the angles of the glass body and open at both ends.
The outer ends of these tubes are open to the atmosphere and the inner ends thereof
are connected to a larger central tube c which passes downwards and terminates just
above the top of the burner d (or burners) so as to supply air to the upper side of
the flame.
Other radiating tubes e are carried downwards from the same point along the angles
of the glass body and communicate with another similar central tube f which is
carried upwards from the bottom of the lamp to supply air to the lower side of the
flame.
Over the entrances to the mouths of these radiating tubes b and e I form a shield ģ
to protect the air inlets from the wind or currents of air.
Above the upper central tube c I provide a chimney to allow the products of
combustion to escape.
In this form of lamp the heat from the flame acts upon the upper central tube c
and thus warms both the air and also the gas in the supply pipe i before they arrive
at the burner.
In some cases in suspended lamps where the gas supply pipe is brought down from
above as in the modification shown on Sheet 2 of the drawings I place at the lower
end of the gas supply pipe an enlargement k forming a cell or regenerator for heating
gas and also serving to spread the flame and reflect the light.
the
This modification represents a suspended lamp with a globular glass. The upper
central tube c and radiating tubes b and e are dispensed with.
All the air enters at the bottom and is there divided. A portion passing up the
inner tube f¹, and through the centre of the circular burner d to the upper part of

page_text: the flame; whilst the other portion passes upwards between the tubes f and f¹ and
supplies the lower side of the flame. The burner d is provided with a hollow wall and
the gas passes into the same from the supply pipe i through cross tubes d¹.
Sheet 3 of the drawings represents the application of this principal to a pillar lamp
wherein the gas supply pipe is carried up from beneath.
In this case the air also enters from beneath, one portion thereof passes upwards
through the centre of the burner d around the gas pipe i. The upper part of this gas
pipe is enclosed in a second pipe 2, and the top of this outer pipe is enlarged so as
to form a cell or regenerator & for heating the gas; it also serves to spread the top of
the flame.
A slight distance above the cell k I place a cap leaving a space between for the
circulation of air, so as to keep the gas from becoming over heated. This cap also
forms a reflector for the light.
The burner d is also fitted with a
gas passes from the outer gas pipe
that the gas becomes further heated
more freely with the heated air.
cross pipe d¹ (as in Sheet 2) through which the
after it has passed through the regenerator k so
before it issues from the burner and thus mixes

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 :-
First. In lamps with octagonal or polygonal glass bodies, the combination of
radiating air tubes following the angles of the glass and communicating with two
central air tubes, one placed above and the other below the burner or burners
substantially as shown and described with reference to Sheet 1 of the drawings.
Secondly. I claim the combination with a ring burner of a cell or enlargement of
the gas supply pipe just above the burner and acting both as a regenerator for heating
the gas and also at the same time to spread the flame and in some cases reflect the
light substantially as shown and described with reference to Sheets 2 and 3 of the
drawings annexed.

Sheet 1 of the drawings represents a vertical section of an outside bracket suspended
