No. 11566.—27th April, 1899.—ARTHUR KITSON, of 213, West Upsal Street, Germantown, Philadelphia, United States of America, Engineer. Improvements in vapour-burning lamps and stoves.

Claims.—(1.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the burner and connections, the incandescent mantle therefor, the translucent airtight globe enclosing said incandescent mantle, the reflector mounted over said burner and resting on said globe, and having a central opening for the exit of hot gases, and the vapourising-tube extending across the said opening, as described and illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A vapour-burning attachment for gas-fixtures, consisting of the combination of a vapourising-tube supported over said fixture, and the mixing-tube extending from a point in front of the end of the vapourising-tube to the burner, the burner mounted on the gas-fixture, and a passage-way discharging gas into said burner, as described and illustrated in the drawings. (3.) In a vapour-burning lamp the combination of the vapour-burner, the vapourising-tube, and electrical means for vapourising oil for the purpose of starting the lamp into action, substantially as described. (4.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the vapour-burner, the incandescent mantle therefor, the enclosing airtight casing having only an outlet of restricted cross-section for the gases of combustion just sufficient to carry off said gases, but not large enough to permit the entry of outside air, and the mixing-tube which extends from the exterior of the casing and connects to the burner, substantially as described. (5.) In a vapour-burning apparatus, the combination of the burner, the enclosing casing, the alcohol-cup adjacent to said burner, and the wick of absorbent incombustible substance extending from the alcohol-cup to and through the enclosing casing, substantially as described. (6.) In a vapour-burning apparatus, the combination of the burner, the enclosing casing, the alcohol-cup adjacent to said burner, and the wick of absorbent incombustible substance extending from the alcohol-cup to and through the enclosing casing, together with the feeding-funnel mounted on the exterior of the enclosing casing and connected by a tube with the alcohol-cup, in which feeding-funnel the outer end of the above-described wick is placed, substantially as described. (7.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the vapour-burner, the incandescent mantle therefor, the enclosing airtight casing having an outlet for the gases of combustion, the mixing-tube extending from the exterior of the casing and connecting with the burner, the alcohol-cup adjacent to the burner, the feeding-funnel mounted on the exterior of the casing and connected by a tube with the alcohol-cup, and the wick of absorbent incombustible material extending from the feeding-funnel to the alcohol-cup, substantially as described. (8.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the vapour-burners, mantles therefor, the enclosing casing, the chimney, the smoke-bell of greater diameter than the chimney, and the curved wire-gauze extending outwardly from the upper end of the chimney and upwardly to the smoke-bell, substantially as described. (9.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the burner, the mixing-tube, the oil-pocket directly beneath the point of connection between mixing-tube and burner, and a mass of absorbent material in said pocket, substantially as described. (10.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the burner, the mixing-tube, the oil-pocket directly beneath the point of connection between mixing-tube and burner, and a mass of absorbent material in said pocket, said oil-pocket having an outlet from the bottom, substantially as described. (11.) In a vapour-burning lamp, the combination of the burner, the mixing-tube, the oil-pocket directly beneath the point of connection between mixing-tube and burner, and a mass of absorbent material in said pocket, said oil-pocket having an outlet from the bottom, together with the removable gauze thimble in the burner-tube, substantially as described. (12.) In a vapour-burning apparatus, the combination of the double burner, the mixing-tube extending under and connecting with each burner-tube, and the baffle-plate located in said mixing-tube between said burner-tubes, as described. (13.) In a vapour-burning apparatus, the combination of the double burner, the mixing-tube extending under and connecting with each burner-tube, and the baffle-plate located in said mixing-tube between said burner-tubes, together with the oil-pocket in said mixing-tube directly beneath said baffle-plate, and a mass of
