Patent number: 8926319Abstract: A device for burning a fuel/oxidant mixture in a strongly exothermic reaction, consists of a reactor with a combustion chamber containing at least one first porous material and at least one second porous material in separate zones A and C. The zones are designed in such a way that an exothermic reaction can only occur in zone B, and with one or more feed lines for the fuel and for the oxidant, whereby zone A, which consists of the first porous material, is separated by a distance of approximately 10 mm to 4000 mm, for example approximately 20 mm to 500 mm, equating to one zone B, from zone C which consists of the second porous material and is located before zone C in a flow direction of the fuel/oxidant mixture.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: SGL Carbon SEInventors: Marcus Franz, Sören Götz

Patent number: 8827693Abstract: A totally aerated combustion burner having a combustion plate with a multiplicity of flame holes includes a distribution chamber, a mixing chamber, and an air supply chamber. The mixing chamber has a front surface with a plurality of nozzle holes disposed in parallel with, and at a lateral distance from, one another so that a fuel gas to be ejected from the nozzle holes and the primary air from the air supply chamber get mixed in the mixing chamber. A wall plate is disposed upright on a bottom surface of the mixing chamber in a manner to lie opposite to the front surface of the mixing chamber while leaving a ventilation clearance to the front surface. An air inlet is formed in such a portion at the bottom surface of the mixing chamber as to face the ventilation clearance.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Rinnai CorporationInventor: Kazuyuki Akagi

Patent number: 8215951Abstract: A burner surface and creation method are provided. The burner surface includes a frame with a compact layer of unsintered metal and ceramic fibers that have been vacuum cast to a surface of the frame. The layer of unsintered metal and ceramic fibers is not greater than 0.5 inches, and is created without using substantial amounts of polymer pore forming or binding agents. The frame and compact layer additionally include a plurality of apertures that form holes through the burner surface plate.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Alzeta CorporationInventor: John D. Sullivan

Patent number: 7736605Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a duration of burn of a stick of incense includes a base and a ferric rod extending away from and over the base. A hole is provided in the base for placement of a bottom end of the incense. A cylindrical portion is adapted to fit over and slide along a longitudinal length of the incense. A magnet is attached to the cylindrical portion and is adapted to secure the cylindrical portion, where desired, along a longitudinal length of the rod. Accordingly, the incense is supported in two locations and is disposed under and generally parallel to the rod. The incense is able to burn until the area of combustion reaches the cylindrical portion, at which time it is extinguished. Two alternate embodiments are described that allow use of modified forms of the cylindrical portion with prior art types of incense burners.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2006Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Inventor: Ralph Gregory Gomez

Patent number: 6398545Abstract: A self-extinguishing torch for use in theatrical environments includes a supporting basket having a support for torch fuel. The supporting basket includes a screen providing side ventilation for containing torch fuel on the support and admitting air through the side ventilation to burn torch fuel. The supporting basket has fuel, which provides torch lighting. A container having an opening for receiving, surrounding, and containing the supporting basket has a handhold remote from the container for permitting the container to be held by a hand. A normally closed top is provided for moving from an open position to a closed position over the container with the supporting basket therein. The normally closed top is biased to the open position when the supporting basket protrudes from the container at the normally closed top.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: GamProducts, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Adam Kleeman, Joseph N. Tawil

Patent number: 4402662Abstract: Thermal shock resistant catalytic monolithic structures are described comprising split-cylinders with flow-through passages. Such structures are especially useful as combustor catalysts and their use in catalytic combustors permits much more rapid start-up and cool down than with conventional monolithic catalysts.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1980Date of Patent: September 6, 1983Assignee: Government of the United States as represented by the Environmental Protection AgencyInventor: William C. Pfefferle

Patent number: 4118174Abstract: A lighter for a candle and the like is provided with a coil at one end with the turns of increasing diameter near the center to form a chamber for wax which flows thereinto when heated by said coil. A wick is secured within the coil and is lit at the extending end to heat the turns thereof so that it can be inserted into the wax in a container which will immediately melt and flow into the chamber to supply the wax to the flame when the wick is lit.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1977Date of Patent: October 3, 1978Inventor: Michael Shirak
