will become rapidly vaporized and will al-
most immediately pass out in the form of gas.
In using the improved apparatus in con-
nection with clusters or groups of lamps of
5 large capacity or of normal capacity and large
numbers it may be necessary to materially
increase the dimensions of all the parts and
also change the location. This variation will
be made, and also changes in the proportions
[o and form as well as minor details of con-
struction will be resorted to within the scope
of the invention and without sacrificing any
of the advantages thereof
Having thus described the invention, what
15 is claimed is--
1. In a lamp of the character set forth, the
combination with a number of independent
burners) of a gas-forming apparatus for the
burners arranged completely above all the
20 latter and wherein the gas is generated ex=
elusively by one of the burners which is also
used for illuminating purposes, a portion of
the said gas-forming apparatus extending ad-
jacent to the generating-burner and adapted
25 to contribute to the automatic ignition of the
latter.
2. In alampof the character set forth, the.
combination of a burner, an oil or fuel sup-
ply, a generator, a mixing-tube, and a recep=
30 tale supported above the burner, to which a
portion of the said mixing-tube directly leads
and adapted to be supplied with a quantity
of oil.
3. In a lamp of the character set forth, the
35 combination with a generator and mixing-
tube, of a burner, and an oil-receptacle above
the burner into which a portion of the mix-
ing-tube extends and adapted to have its con-
tents ignited to initially operate the appara-
4o tus and automatically ignite said burner.
4. In a lamp of the character set forth, the
combination of an oil-supply, a burner, a gen-
erator having an obstructed communication
with the oil-supply and a part thereof in prox-
45 imity to the burner, a valve in the generator
for controlling the flow of gas, an injector
connected. to the generator, an oil-receptacle
above the burner adapted to have its contents.ignited to initially operate the apparatus and.
a mixing-tube in operative relation to the in- 50
jector and communicating with the feed of
the burner, a portion of said mixing-tube also
extending into the oil-receptacle.
5. A lamp, of the character set forth,'com-
prising a generator in unobstructed commn- 55
nication with an oil-supply, an oil-receptacle
to provide an initially-operating device,a mix-
ing-tube having a portion thereof extended
into the oil-receptacle to primarily feed a quan-
tity of oil thereto, and an injector connected 60
to the generator and cooperating with the
mixing-tube, the initially-operating device
being adjacent a part of the generator.
6. In a lamp of the character set forth, the
combination of an oil-supply, a generatorhav- 65
ing unobstructed communication therewith
and supplied with a gas-flow-controlling valve,
a mixing-tube having a tapered extremity and
reduced terminal and provided with an in-
terior deflector, a burner, means for connect- 76
ing the burner and mixing-tube, and an oil-
receptacle supported above the burner into
which the reduced terminal of the mixing-
tube is directed, a feeding device being are
ranged between the generator and the mix- 75
ing-tube.
7. In a lamp of the character set forth, the
combination of an oil-supply, a gas-forming
apparatus connected to said supply, a burner
provided with a transparent inclosure and in 86
communication also with the gas-forming ap-
paratus, an oil-receptacle supported on the
upper part of the transparent inclosure and
having a portion of the gas-forming apparatus
leading thereto,a part of said apparatus being 85
adjacent the receptacle, and means for con-
trolling the flow of gas.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as
our own we have hereto affixed our signatures
in the presence of two witnesses.
