'I'O ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I

Be it known that I,- GE'ORGE K. OSBORN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State ofv New York, have invented a new and improved Lamp-Burner; and I do hereby declare that thelfollowing is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the drawings, forming part of the speci'ication.

This invention relates to a.' newand luseful improvement in 'lamp-burners of thatolass which is designed for burning coaloil and other hydrocarbons, which require a large amount of oxygen in order to support ycombustion for illuminating purposes.

The invention consists in the application of a jacket suspended over the wick-tube, constructed and arranged in such. a manner that a large amount ofx-th'evapor'or gas which is generated by theheat of the flame is mixed with air before it is brought in contact with. the ame, and at` the same time it prevents the heat of` the dame' v.frompassing to the lamp, as hereinafter. fuliy shownjaud described. In the accompanying sheet of drawings- Figure I is a vertical section of a burner with myimprovement attached to it, XX, iig. 2 indicating the line of section.

Figure 2, a plan or top view. Fignre, an oblique view, Y Y, iig. 2, 4showing line of section. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. A represents the wick-tube of a lamp-burner. B is a jacket which surrounds the tube A. l C is a short tube fastened to the top of 'the jacket B,'through which the wick passes to the top.

D D are small passages t'o conduct the mixture of vapor and air from the jacket B to the top of the tube C; Part of the vapor formed inthe tube C passes into the jacket B, between the tube a and tube c, and there mixes with the air which-'passes in at the bottom of the jacket I3'. This 'mixture is then conducted through thc passages D D to the flame.

E isla perforated disk, by which my attachment is suspended over the wick-tube A, insulating the heat ftomdirect communication with the lamp, thereby lessening the danger of euplosion.

' The above description and-accompanying drawings represent my most approved -plan of forminghthe jacket YB, t-,ube C, and passages D D, but the passages D D cangaiso be made of dctachedtubes, and the jacket B and tube C can be formed together of the same piece of metal.

i This invention has been practically tested, and has been found to answer a goed purpose, causing the ilame to burn with a white light, like that fro'm'agas-jct, no c'ensivc smell or odor being emitted.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as'now, and desire to secureby Letters Patent-- l The combination of the jacket B, surrounding the wick-tube A, the tube C placed a little above thc wicktubeA. and the passages D Drunnin'g from thebottom to'the top of the tube 0,'all arranged as and for the,

purposes specified. u
