PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Perfume Vaporizers and the like.
1, REGINALD BLACKWELL BREIDENBACH, of 48 Greek Street, London,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in and relating to perfume vaporizers,
and the like, and my invention consists in the improved construction of parts as
will be hereinafter described, whereby the cost of manufacture of vaporizers will
be materially reduced.
In carrying out my invention I employ a suitable vessel adapted to contain
perfume, disinfectant or the like and provided with a suitable and movable socket
by means of which socket a preferably tubular wick is suspended in such a manner
that the bulk of said wick is within the vessel and a short portion at one end of
said wick, projects out of the neck of the bottle or other vessel. I next provide a
preferably glass globe of suitable dimensions having a stem which is inserted a
suitable distance within the hollow wick, so as to keep the globe in position, the
said globe being plated with platinum which platinum is in contact with the exposed
portion of the wick.
The action of my improved apparatus is as follows:-The exposed portion of
the wick after having been saturated with the spirit or the like in the vessel is
ignited and allowed to burn until the platinum on the globe is about red hot. The
flame is then quickly extinguished by means of a suitable cap or extinguisher,
which cap or extinguisher is immediately removed and the vaporization of the
contents of the vessel will begin by reason of the air being heated by the hot
globe, said globe being maintained at its comparatively high temperature by reason
of the vapours from the contents of the vessel, impinging against it.
For the purpose of protecting the globe from damage, I prefer to provide a
suitable wire gauze or other guard through which the vapours readily pass.
I wish it to be understood that the burner or the like which has been herein-
before referred to as a glass globe, may be made of any other suitable material and
instead of being globular in form it may be of any other shape desired, the essence
of my invention being the coating of the said globe or the like with platinum,
whereby a very small portion of platinum is required as compared with vaporizers
of the hitherto usual construction in which platinum wire, gauze or plate has been
employed.

Improvements in and relating to Perfume Vaporizers and the like.
I, REGINALD BLACKWELL BREIDENBACH, of 48 Greek Street London,
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 invention relates to improvements in and relating to fumigators, and my

page_text: invention consists in the improved construction of parts as will be hereinafter
described whereby the cost of manufacture of fumigators will be materially
reduced.
In order that my invention may be readily understood, reference is made to the
accompanying drawing which represents a sectional side elevation of my improved
fumigator.
In carrying out my invention I employ a suitable vessel A adapted to contain
perfume or disinfectant containing sufficient spirit, and provided with a suitable
and movable socket B, by means of which socket a tubular wick C is suspended in
such a manner that the bulk of said wick is within the vessel and a short portion
at one end of said wick projects out of the neck of the bottle or vessel A. I next
provide a hollow sphere or other configuration D. Said sphere D may be made
of platinum either by electrical deposition or otherwise, or said sphere D may be
made of glass or other suitable material which is plated or coated with platinum,
and said sphere is formed or provided with a stem E, which stem is adapted to be
inserted a suitable distance within the tubular wick C so as to keep the sphere or
the like D in position as shown.
The action of my improved fumigator is as follows:-The exposed portion of the
wick, after having been saturated with the spirit or the like in the vessel, is ignited
and allowed to burn until the platinum sphere or the platinum on the sphere or the
like D is about red hot. The flame is then quickly extinguished either by blowing
upon it or by means of a suitable cap or extinguisher, and the fumigation of the
contents of the vessel A will begin by reason of the heat of the sphere or the like D
drawing up the spirit contained in the vessel A through the wick C. the said sphere
or the like D being maintained at its comparatively high temperature by reason of
the fumes from the contents of the vessel A impinging against it.
For the purpose of protecting the sphere or the like D from damage, I prefer
to provide a suitable wire gauze or other guard F through which the fumes
readily pass.
I wish it to be understood that if the part D of my improved fumigator herein-
before referred to, he plated or coated with platinum as described, said part D
instead of being made of glass plated with platinum, may be made of any other
suitable material plated with platinum and instead of being in the form of a hollow
sphere it may
be of any other hollow configuration desired.
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 :-
1. In a perfume vaporizer fumigator the employment of a hollow sphere or the
like D of platinum, said sphere D being provided with a stem E adapted to enter
the tubular wick C all for the purposes and substantially as set forth.
2. In a perfume vaporizer or fumigator the employment of a hollow sphere or
the like D plated with platinum, said sphere D having a stem E adapted to enter
the tubular wick C, all for the purposes and substantially as set forth.
3. In a perfume vaporizer or fumigator having a hollow sphere D plated with
platinum, said sphere D having a stem E adapted to enter the tubular wick C, a
guard F for the purpose and substantially as set forth.
