I WILLIAM HENRY HOWORTH of Cleckheaton in the county of York Architect
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My attachment consists of a piece of metal, or any other suitable substance,
made so as to slip on to the ordinary gas burners, preferably in a circular form, 8ɔ
as to clasp the burner and remain upright and secure in its position the upper
part of my attachment is made in the form of two wings placed close or almost
close together in the centre of the burner for the passage of the flame between
them so as to spread the flame and increase its illuminating power, if made of
metal, it is preferably made or stamped out, the exact form by hand or by
machinery and may be made from waste metals wire, tin, or cuttings, or of glass
or talc, composition, or any material suitable for the purpose.

A is a piece of metal, or any other suitable substance, made so as to slip on to
an ordinary gas burner B, it is preferably made in a circular form, so as to clasp
the burner and remain upright and secure in its position; the upper part C, of my
attachment is made in the form of a wing placed close or almost close, in the
centre of the burner, for the passage of the flame up each side, so as to spread the
flame, and increase its illuminating power; if made of metal, it is preferably made
or stamped out, the exact form by hand or by machinery and may be made from
waste metals wire or tin, or cuttings, or of glass or tale, composition or any
substance or material, suitable for the purpose.
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
1. The use of a spreader, to fit on to any gas burner, constructed so as to
improve, and increase its illuminating power, as shewn and described, or any
similar equivalent.
