Improved Carburetting Gas Lamp.
We, THOMAS BUTTERWORTH HARRISON, of 101 Tong Road, Armley, Leeds,
Plumber, and GEORGE WILLIAM SCARR HUDSON, of 29 Town Street, Armley,
Leeds, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
follows:-
be as
According to our invention we employ a series of burners arranged in and around
a bulb or chamber from which they derive the gas and at or about an angular
position of 45 degrees from the vertical.
The said bulb or chamber is carried by a gas supply pipe.
Above the said burners is a perforated dome or deflector made of porcelain or
the like material, and having an air space between it and a metallic casing, or the
said dome may have an air space between it and the gas supply pipe.
Above the said dome or deflector is a chamber into which is placed a hydro-
carbon. The heat from the burners impinges upon the dome or deflector and heats
the casing of the said chamber causing the hydro-carbon to vaporise, and combine
with the gas.
Above the said burners and on the gas supply pipe is a conical or other such
shaped tube made so that an air current can pass between it and the dome or
deflector, or through the said perforations of the dome or deflector.

We, THOMAS BUTTERWORTH HARRISON, of 101 Tong Road, Armley, Leeds,
Plumber, and GEORGE WILLIAM SCARR HUDSON, of 29 Town Street, Armley,
Leeds, Plumber, 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 :-
Our invention has reference to an improved carburetting gas lamp.
Fig. 1, is an elevation of our improved lamp.
According to our invention we employ a series of burners A arranged in and
around a bulb or chamber B, from which they derive the gas, and at or about an
angular position of 45 degrees from the vertical. The said bulb or chamber B is
carried by a gas supply pipe C.
Above the said burners is a perforated or plain dome or deflector D, made of
porcelain, enamelled iron, or the like material, and having an air space E between
it and a metallic casing F, and the said dome D has an air space between it and
the gas sunnly nine C

page_text: Above the said dome or deflector D is a chamber G into which is placed a
hydro-carbon. The heat from the burners A impinges upon the dome or
deflector D, and heats the casing of the said chamber causing the hydro-carbon to
vaporise, and combine with the gas. D¹ is a casing for causing the heat to strike
upon the vaporiser G from the dome or deflector D.
Above the said burners A and on the gas supply pipe C is a conical or other
such shaped tube H, preferably made of porcelain so that an air current can pass
between it and the dome or deflector D, or through the said perforations or vents,
of the dome or deflector.
By our invention we obtain a richer light and the lamp is self-cleansing by
preventing the carbon depositing on the dome or deflector.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
-claim is :-
1. A carburetting gas lamp having a series of burners A arranged in a bulb B
carried on a gas supply pipe C, a dome or deflector D with air space E between it
and a casing F, and a vaporiser or chamber G, (upon the pipe C,) above the dome
or deflector D, with casing D', such as, and for the purposes, shown and
.described.
2. In a carburetting gas lamp, the combination of a series of burners A. arranged
in a bulb B upon a pipe C at an angle of 45 degrees from the vertical, a dome or
deflector D heated by the burners A, and a casing D! for causing the heat from
the dome or deflector D to impinge upon a chamber G, substantially as and for the
purposes shown and described.
3. In a carburetting gas lamp, heating the vaporiser by means of heat derived
from a dome or deflector (heated by burners) underneath such vaporiser, in the
'manner such as shown and described.
4. The construction of carburetting gas lamp as shown and described.
