Patent number: 9360208Abstract: A gas lamp includes first and second main structures. The first main structure forms a foundation of the gas lamp and includes a reservoir as a fuel tank. The second main structure is directly and releasably mounted atop of the first main structure. The second main structure includes a fluid guiding member, a carrier mechanism, a covering member, and a shield. The fluid guiding member defines a fluid entry zone and a fluid acceleration zone. The covering member includes the fluid acceleration zone circumferentially surrounded therein. The gas lamp includes the carrier mechanism adapted to be grasped, which facilitates disengagement of the first and second main structures for fuel refill and easy transportation of the second main structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Pro-Iroda Industries, Inc.Inventors: Wei-Long Chen, Jan-Nan Chen, Tammy Yen

Patent number: 8641413Abstract: A device for producing a stable and augmented flame includes a fluid-inducing assembly and a shield. The fluid-inducing assembly includes a flow-diverting mechanism defining a flow-intake end and a flow-accelerating end and includes a plurality of vanes extending from the flow-intake end to the flow-accelerating end. The plurality of vanes is circumferentially disposed and spaced from one another. Furthermore, two vanes include a space defined therebetween, and the space defines a passage which is spiral-shaped. The flow-diverting mechanism further includes a covering member with an enclosed circumferential edge circumferentially surrounded. Thus, each vane in the flow-accelerating end is encircled by the covering member, and each vane in the flow-intake end is exposed to outside and not covered by the covering member. In addition, the shield is hollow and is disposed above the fluid-inducing assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Pro-Iroda Industries, Inc.Inventors: Wei-Long Chen, Jan-Nan Chen
