Improvements in Gas Burners.
I THOMAS HOLLIDAY, Managing Director of Read Holliday & Sons Limited,
of Upper Head Row, Huddersfield, in the County of York Manufacturing Chemist,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
This invention relates to burners for burning rich gas, such as acetylene and is
designed to enable the same to be burned along with air and consists in the com-
bination with an ordinary gas burner, more especially the description of burner,
known as, union jet, of a small injector the motive force of which is the rich
gas to
be diluted and which force draws in air through apertures made for the purpose-
the quantity of air being regulated by the difference in size of the gas jet and the
opening opposite to it through which the gas and air are injected by the gas jet.
The distance between the gas jet and the opening being sufficient to allow the
entrance of the air for which purpose apertures are made between the two.
Dated the 26th day of September 1895.

I, THOMAS HOLLIDAY, Managing Director of Read Holliday & Sons Limited,
of Upper Head Row, Huddersfield, in the County of York, Manufacturing Chemist,
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 for burning rich gas, such as acetylene and is
designed to enable the same to be burned along with air for illumination and con-
sists in the combination with an ordinary gas burner, more especially the description
of burner known as union jet, of a small injector the motive force of which is the
rich gas to be diluted and which force draws in air through apertures made for the
purpose, the quantity of air being regulated by the difference in size of the gas jet
and the opening opposite to it through which the gas and air are injected by the
gas jet and by the pressure of the gas.
The distance between the gas jet and the opening being sufficient to allow the
entrance of the air, for which purpose apertures are made between the two.

a screws into the gas fitting and is provided with a small hole for the exit of
the gas and must be accurately adjusted so that the jet of gas is projected through
the hole c. d, d, are holes to admit air which is drawn with the gas through the
constricted tube c into the mixing chamber from which the mixture issues through
gas burner g ready for ignition.
A union jet gas burner may be used, or one from which the gas issues through
a fine slit.
which at-say-
The hole c being much larger in diameter than the hole
C
6 inches of water pressure, is of such a size that it will allow one foot per hour of
acetylene gas to pass, will supply a gas burner of say No. 4 to No. 9 size, with
sufficient mixture to give a good light.
The chamber can be enlarged or formed into a tube and more than one burner
placed to one injector.
The gas burners I prefer to use as being best adapted for use with the
injector are those known as "union jet "-from which the gas issues through two
holes set at about right angles to each other, and "slit burners"-from which the
gas issues through a fine slit in the top of the burner.
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 :-
"
" union jet or "slit" gas light
1. In a gas burner, the combination with a
burner or nib of a small injector, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The construction or arrangement and use of a gas burner having a small
injector for rich gas and openings for supply of a diluent gas or air in combination
with an ordinary jet piece or "burner," substantially as set forth.
Dated the 23rd day of July 1896.
