PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Process and Apparatus for Burning, Suspending, and Securing
Incandescent Bodies.
I ADOLF MARTINI, of 81 Leipzigerstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire,
Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows.-
The process heretofore adopted for reducing incandescent bodies to aslies has
been attended with the drawback, that a species of tweezers or pincers, 01 some
similar instrument, had to be used to transfer the incinerated body to its supporting
più or suspension device. Now this operation, which required considerable
dexterity on the part of the person performing it, was a frequent cause of the
entire loss of incandescent bodies.
It is this inconvenieuce which the improved apparatus herein descubed, 18
designed to obviate (the particular form in which it is carried out may vary,
provided the same principle is adhered to).
The impregnated tube or sheath of fabric (which is here supposed to be the
Incandescent body) may be allowed to exhaust its incandescency and become
Incinerated directly on the burner, and at the same time continue attached to its
suspension device not only until it is required for use but also during the whole
time that it performs its function of illummating body. And in addition to this,
as the apparatus is provided with side-supports, which may vary in number
according to requiements, adequate protection is afforded for the incandescent
body employed The manner in which combustion takes its course, and the
manipulation of the device, are both of the greatest conceivable simplicity.
After the side 1ods have been inserted into the guide-pieces, with which the burner
is fitted for the purpose, the burner is placed and maintained in a horizontal
position, so that the small hook with which the device is provided hangs down
Sertically, and from this hook the impregnated incandescent body is nicely
Buspended As soon as the requisite shape has been imparted to it, the burner,
together with the incandescent body and its supporting device, is re-placed in the
erect position; after which the guide rods are depressed as far as is necessary to
enable the incandescent body to descend to a depth consistent with its proper
utilization. The burner may, moreover, be provided with means for moving the
rods to any convenient situation and there retaining them.

Incandescent Bodies.
I, ADOLF MARTINI late of 81, but now of 31/32 Leipzigerstrasse, Berlin, in
the German Empire, Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performned, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The process heretofore adopted for reducing incandescent boilies to ashes has
been attended with the drawback, that a species of tweezers or pincers, or some
similar instrument, had to be used to transfer the incinerated body to its supporting
pin or suspension device. Now this operation, which requied considerable
dexterity on the part of the prison performing it, was a frequent cause of the
entire loss of incandescent bodies
It is this inconvenience which the improved apparatus herein described, and
exemplified in the accompanying drawing, is designed to obsate. The particular
form in which it is carried out may vary, piovided the same principle 13
adhered to.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
The impregnated tube o sheath of fabric B which is here supposed to be the
incandescent body may be allowed to exhaust its incandescency and become
incinerated dectly on the burner and at the same time continue attached to its
suspension device A not only until it is required for use but also during the whole
time that it performs its function of illuminating body. And in addition to this,
as the apparatus is provided with side-supports C which may vary in number
according to requirements, adequate protection is afforded for the incandescent
body employed. The manner in which combustion takes its course, and the
manipulation of the device are both of the greatest conceivable simplicity. After
the side rods C have been inserted into the guide pieces, with which the burnet is
fitted for the purpose, the burner is placed and maintained in a horizontal position,
so that the small hook with which the device is provided allows the impregnated
Incandescent body to be freely suspended. As soon as the requisite shape has
been imparted to it, the burner together with the incandescent body and its
supporting device, is re-placed in the erect position; after which the guide rods
are depressed as far as is necessary to enable the incandescent body to descend to a
depth consistent with its proper utilization. The burner may, moreover, be
provided with means for moving the rods to any convenient situation and there
retaining them.
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 18-
(1) A process for ensuring the combustion of incandescent bodies substantially
in the manner hei einabove described.
(2) Apparatus for carrying out the process claimed in the first claim and both
for affording the incandescent body protection and forming a means for suspending
the same.
