1, MAX GRAETZ, of 92/93 Elsen Strasse, Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:
The present invention relates to an improvement in petroleum-burners for the
production of a blue flame, in which the cap covering the upper extremities of
the wicks can be turned back and in which furthermore the whole cover upon
which is mounted the burner proper, can be raised, thereby allowing the wicks
to be easily regulated or replaced by new ones.
My invention will be fully understood with reference to the accompanying
drawing, in which similar letters denote similar parts throughout the several
views, and in which:
Figure 1 illustrates an elevation of my burner,
Figure 2 is a top view of the same,
Figure 3 shows partly an elevational and partly a sectional view of my burner,
the cap being turned over and the burner proper being raised.
Figure 4 is a detail view of the burner part, the cap being turned back.
Figure 5 is a section at right angles to that illustrated in Figure 3 and showing
the air admission.
Figure 6 is a top view corresponding to Figure 5.
In the drawing a is the petroleum receptacle. The circular opening provided
in the cover of this receptacle carries a joint ring r. d is the cover for this
opening upon which is mounted the burner proper n having a double wick f.
illustrates the air admission channel. The burner n reaches upwards into an
air chamber t situated between the top extremities of the burner n.
This burner n is provided with a circular flange m, which, by means of screws s
suitably fixed to the cover b of the receptacle a can be pressed against the joint
ring, the whole burner being thereby rigidly secured to the petroleum re-
ceptacle. Owing to the cover d being adapted to be removed from the receptacle,
the wick can easily be regulated or exchanged. Upon the cover & is mounted a
cap o rotatable around a bolt c. When necessary this cap can be turned back as
illustrated in Figure 3 whereby access can be had to the upper extremity of the
wicks.

I, MAX GRAETZ, of 92/93 Elsen Strasse, of Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia,
German Empire, 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:-
-
The present invention relates to an improvement in petroleum-burners for the
production of a blue flame, in which the cap covering the upper extremities of
the wicks can be turned back and in which furthermore the whole cover upon
which is mounted the proper burner can be raised, thereby allowing the wicks
to be easily regulated or replaced by new ones.
My invention will be better understood with reference to the drawings filed
with the Provisional Application, in which similar letters denote similar parts
throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a vertical elevation of my burner.
Figure 2 is a top view of the same.
Figure 3 shows partly an elevation and partly a section of my burner, the cap
being turned back and the burner. proper being raised.
Figure 4 is a detail view of the burner part, the cap being turned back.
Figure 5 is a section at right angles to that illustrated in Figure 3 and showing
the air admission.
Figure 6 is a top view corresponding to Figure 5.
In the drawing a is the petroleum receptacle. The circular opening provided
in the cover of this receptacle has around it a joint ring ". dis the cover for
this opening upon which is mounted the burner n having a double wick f. is
the air admission channel reaching from the bottom of the receptacle a upwards
into an air chamber t situated between the top extremities of the burner n.
This cover d is provided with a circular flange m, which, by means of screws s
suitably fixed to the cover 6 of the receptacle a can be pressed against the joint
ring r, the whole burner being thereby rigidly secured to the petroleum receptacle.
Owing to this cover d being adapted to be removed from the receptacle, the wick
can easily be regulated or exchanged. Upon the cover d is mounted a cap o
rotatable around a pivot or hinge c. When necessary this cap can be turned
back, as illustrated in Figure 3 whereby access can be had to the upper extremity
of the wicks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
-
A petroleum burner with a double wick, having an air-chamber consisting of
iwo parts (t), the part (t) being on both sides enclosed by the wicks which are
carried by the cover (d) of the burner, said cover being adapted to be removed
from the petroleum receptacle (a,) a cap (o) adapted to produce a blue flame at-
tached to the cover by means of a hinge (c), so that by turning this cap back
access can be had to the upper part of the wicks, and by removing the cover (d)
to the lower part of the same, the whole for the purpose as described.
