I GEORGE CECIL DYMOND M.I. Mech. E. of The Agency for Foreign
Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street, Manchester
both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to lamps of the kind intended to be used for removing old
paint from doors, windows and for similar purposes, in which it is desirous that the
Hame should spread over a large surface in order to allow of the greatest possible
extent of surface being treated at each passage of the flame. Efforts have been
made to obtain this result by making the burner with wide mouths but whatever
their form no satisfactory result has been obtained.
Now this invention consists in applying to the lamp over the burner a cap or
head inade like the rose of a watering can and which may be clamped thereto in
any suitable manner.
This cap is characterized by its perforations which are formed small at the
centre and increase in size towards the circumference. If perforations of the same
diameter are used the result is not so good. The arrangement of the holes is not
of capital importance as long as the progressive increase in the diameter of the
perforations from the centre to the circumference be observed, but it is preferred
to make them as a series of radii which may be straight or curved.
This cap gives a very extensive flaine enabling a deal of work to be done in
little time.

page_text: declare the nature of this invention and in what manuer the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to lamps of the kind intended to be used for removing old
paint from doors, windows and for similar purposes, in which it is desirable that
the flame should spread over a large surface in order to allow of the greatest
possible extent of surface being treated at each passage of the flame. Efforts have
been made to obtain this result by making the burner with wide mouths but whatever
their form no satisfactory result has been obtained.
Now this invention consists in applying to the lamp over the burner, a cap or
head made like the rose of a watering can and which may be clamped thereto in
any suitable manuer.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a burner fitted according to the present
invention;
Figure 2 is a front view of the same.
In these, Dis the spirit reservoir; P the handle; R the regulator; C the
vapour chamber and O the air jet of a benzine or blow-pipe lamp or torch to which
the cap B is fitted. It is obvious however that the invention may be applied to
other lamps of a like nature. This cap B is characterized by its perforations
which are formed small at the centre and increase in size towards the circumference.
If perforations of the same diameter are used the result is not so good. The
arrangement of the holes is not of capital importance, as long as the progressive
increase in the diameter of the perforations from the centre to the circumference be
observed, but it is preferred to inake them as a series of radii which may be straight
or curved, as shown in Figure 2.
This cap gives a very extensive flame enabling a deal of work to be done in
little time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The improvement in or connected with lamps for use in removing old paint
and for the like purposes consisting in the arrangement on the mouth of the burner
of a cap or head like the rose of a watering can, said cap having perforations the
diameters of which preferably increase progressively from the centre to the circum-
ference of the cap, whereby a flame of large surface may be obtained substantially
as hereinbefore described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. In a head or cap for the burners of lamps of the kind described, the
arrangement of the holes as a series of radii which may be straight or curved;
substantially as described and shown with reference to Figure 2 of the
accompanying drawings.
