Year: 1841

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE
PALMER HENRY, of Peckham, in the County of Surrey, Chemist, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Twenty-first day of December, in the fifth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said George Palmer Henry, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege
and authority, that I, the said George Palmer Henry, my exors, adiñiors, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said George Palmer Henry, my exors, adññiors,
or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS
TO BE APPLIED TO THE GLASS CHIMNEYS OF GAS BURNERS;" in which said Letters
Patent is contained a proviso that I, the said George Palmer Henry, shall
cause a particular description of the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's

page_text: High Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same,
reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that, in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
George Palmer Henry, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described
and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, referenco being had
to the Drawing hereunto annexed, and to the figures and letters marked
thereon (that is to say):-
My Invention relates to the construction of an apparatus to be applied to
the glass chimneys of gas burners, whereby the gas will be more advantageously
burned. And, in order that the Invvntion may be fully understood and readily
carried into effect, I will proceed to explain the Drawing hereunto annexed,
which shews the section of a glass chimney having the apparatus applied
thereto, and also various views of the apparatus separately.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 represents the section of a glass chimney of a gas burner having
apparatus applied thereto according to my Invention. Figure 2 shews a plan
or bird's-eye view of the apparatus. Figure 3 shews a side view; and
Figure 4 shews an under side view. a, a, is the glass chimney; b, a plate
placed on the top of the chimney, such plate having an opening at c,
and there are several smaller holes at d, d, as are shewn, e, is a sunk plate,
which is supported by the stems f, f, above the opening of the plate b, as
is shewn.
It will be found, on applying the apparatus above explained to the glass
chimney of a gas burner, that the flame will be immediately lengthened and
the light rendered more clear and brilliant, and the smoke consumed. And if
the sunk plate e, e, be omitted, there will still be elongation of flame, but I
prefer that the two parts should be combined as described. I do not, however,
comfine my claim to the combination.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, I would have it
understood that what I claim is, the mode of constructing an apparatus and
applying the same to the glass chimneys of gas burners, as above described.
In witness whereof, I the said George Palmer Henry, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and forty-two.
