PATENT OFFICE.

The subject of this invention is a kerosene lamp with removed from the wick container located main oil tank, with which an automatic opening and closing. of inlet cone valve operated by a float regardless of the pressure in the Oil supply is achieved in that the jacket of the cone valve with a recess and at the same time the derivation is most expediently right-angled at an angle is connected to the valve axis on the valve seat. '' This facility enables a great number of lamps, which in various places over large areas are distributed at different altitudes in the manner of gas lamps, with the liquid Fuel from a main reservoir by gravity and under uniformity Pressure to feed.

The lamp is on the accompanying drawing in several versions with respect to the Float and the position of the inlet control valve.

Fig. Ι is a side view of a street lighting suitable lamp with argand wick burner and side float.

• Fig. 2 is a vertical section through a flat wick lamp.

Fig. 3 is a view, partly in section, of a double hanging lamp with a common inlet control valve;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section through a lamp with a concentric float ... . In the lamp Fig. 1 the round burner a sits (with fastening by screwing or in some other suitable manner) on a container A of annular cross-section, in which the wick hangs down, and whose central channel B extends upwards into the burner for the supply of the combustion air extended and at the same time serves to introduce a device suitable for lighting the wick through its lower end. A small, suitably cylindrical vessel (chamber) D is attached to the side of the container A and communicates with it through an opening C. In the same there is a float E and this is articulated by rod F with a cone valve G provided on its jacket with an annular recess G ^l , whose correspondingly shaped seat is in the bottom of D or in a bushing fixed to D respectively. Housing is located.

The valve seat is .by a lateral, right-angled or almost right-angled channel H with a tube / connected, which leads to the (omitted in the drawing) main oil tank. The latter is at any height above the burner. The space below the valve G is connected to the vessel D through a secondary channel K. The oil allowed by valve G enters vessel D and from there through channel C into basin A; As a result of the accumulation of OeI in D , the float is raised until finally the valve G, which it has carried along, enters channel H and with it

Claims (1)

the further oil supply is shut off. When the lamp is on, the oil level in A and D falls as a result of the oil being consumed and, as a result, also float E with valve G, so that channel H is opened accordingly and oil now flows in again. In this way, the normal oil level is constantly maintained in A and D as long as the main reservoir still contains oil; On the other hand, as a result of the connection of the valve recess G ^l with the arrangement of the channel H, the valve G is made independent of the pressure in the oil supply line, so that it can quickly obey the drive communicated to it by the oil level in the lamp and carry out its movements regularly, without ever To experience inhibition. In the example in FIG. 2, the float E consists of an open-topped vessel into which the wick is immersed and which floats in the basin A. The burner α is connected to the latter by a screw connection, to the nut b of which the seat for the conical valve G provided ^{with recess G 1 is fastened.} The float vessel E is attached to the latter by means of the rod F. J is the feed pipe connected to basin A through channel H and valve G from the main reservoir. When, as a result of the oil consumption, the float vessel rises, it unblocks channel H by means of valve G, so that oil flows through H to A ; as soon as the oil level reaches the upper edge of the float vessel, as in the latter, oil overflows into the latter until it sinks again as a result of its increased load and thus finally blocks channel H again. So in this version too, fresh oil is replenished from the main reservoir just as quickly as oil is consumed at the burner. In Fig. 3 it is illustrated how, in the case of hanging lamps with several burners, a single regulating device for the supply with OeI can be arranged for the latter. The lamp has z. B. two burners. / is the tube feeding from the main reservoir OeI. The same is inserted through the hollow lamp holder M , at the lower end of which the vessel D with the float E is attached. The latter is by means attached to the rod R at the ^l provided with the recess G cone valve G, which has its seat in the disposed in the upper part of D bushing N, in which the tube J opens (under, for example wise connection of both parts by means of coupling ring P) and through the. oblique bore Q communicates with the bore H which opens laterally at right angles into the valve seat. Two tubes R are screwed into the vessel D at the bottom on opposite sides, which guide the oil to the lamp basins AA and at the same time form the support arms for the two lamps. Since the basins AA and the vessel D form communicating tubes, the oil in all three vessels is always at the same level. If the level now sinks as a result of the oil consumption, the float E also sinks and opens the hole H through the valve G, so that oil flows to D and from this oil is evenly distributed into the two basins; when the normal level is finally restored, the float has risen so high that the valve G shuts off the bore. In the lamp in Fig. 4, the basin A , provided with a central air duct B , is divided into two concentric ring-shaped chambers .A ¹ and D by a hollow cylinder d suitably fastened to the upper basin duct, which is pierced in the lower part by holes c. The lamp wick dips into the inner chamber A ¹ , and in the outer chamber D lies the float E, formed as a vessel with an annular cross-section, which is supported by rod F with the conical valve G, which is seated at the bottom of A and provided with the recess G ¹ connected is. Patenτ-Ansρroch: A kerosene lamp with the main oil container at a distance from the wick container, in which an automatic opening and closing of the inlet cone valve G operated by a float, independently of the pressure in the oil supply line, is achieved by providing the jacket of the cone valve with a recess G ¹ and at the same time providing the oil line at right angles or is connected to the valve seat approximately at right angles to the valve axis.
