Improved Means for Utilizing Gas Brackets, Pendants, or other Gas
Fittings for Cooking and other Purposes.
1, ALEXANDER GUNN, of 118 King Street, Aberdeen, Plumber, Gas Fitter, and
Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
:-
An improved means for utilizing ordinary gas brackets, pillars, pendants, or any
other gas fittings for the purposes of boiling water or cooking any substance in a
kettle or other suitable utensil. The appliances for the realization of such object
consists of a brass or other metal burner piece, fitted at the top both internally, and
externally with a screw, and at the bottom with a cone shaped screw, a milled
projecting ring dividing the two threads. The cone-shaped screw is made of a size
sufficient to fit any ordinary gas bracket, pillar, or any other gas fitting in place of
the usual burner, and the usual burner is screwed into the top of my new burner-
piece, by means of the internal thread at the upper end. An ordinary atmospheric
burner is then screwed on the outer thread of the upper end of the burner-piece,
and on the top of the atmospheric burner is fixed or screwed on a suitable holder
for a kettle or other utensil the holder being preferably a cast iron ring with three
supports.
The atmospheric burner and holder can be easily unscrewed or moved, and the
burner can be used in the ordinary way for lighting purposes. On the atmospheric
burner and holder being replaced it can be used for cooking purposes.
