Heating And Illuminating Patents (Class 126/97)
  • Patent number: 4904181
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a combustion equipment to be employed for heating in domestic use or the like. The combustion equipment is provided with an air control cylinder having a closed bottom surface inwards of an inner flame cylinder, and an outer control cylinder inwards of a vaporizing portion, and accordingly, radical deterioration of the CO/CO.sub.2 characteristic can be prevented. Furthermore, the air control cylinder is divided into plural stages one above the other and has a through aperture in the lowermost stage connecting said lowermost stage with an inner air path, and at the same time, the outer control cylinder is formed with through holes. Therefore, the combustion equipment of the present invention has a large range of adjustment the combustion volume, and is safe and comfortable in use.

  • Patent number: 4621609
    Abstract: A heater, particularly for emergency use in a car or other vehicles is designed to use solid paraffin wax fuel. The heater has a housing containing a combustion chamber and burner. A vent duct is angled outwardly from the housing and both provides combustion air and permits exhaust of combustion products. The vent duct can be inserted through a window opening in a vehicle so that interior air is not consumed or contaminated when the heater is in operation.

  • Patent number: 4569652
    Abstract: A combustion cylinder construction for an oil space heater is disclosed which is constructed to dispose a uniform air flow forming mechanism between an outermost heat-permeable cylinder and an outer cylindrical member of a double combustion cylinder, thereby not only to keep the double combustion cylinder in a red-heated state, but also to carry out the formation of a uniform and stable white-yellow flame and to complete combustion at a flame spreading means. There is also disclosed a combustion cylinder construction which further includes a heat ray reflecting means to render the temperature profiles through the heat-permeable cylinder as uniform as possible, resulting in an oil space heater having a long service life.

  • Patent number: 4549523
    Abstract: This invention relates to a heating apparatus such as an oil heater, a gas heater or an electric heater generating heat and light, and to provide an arrangement such that at least a part of periphery of a heat source of the heating apparatus is covered with a netlike member and the netlike member is arranged to be wrapped therearound so that the meshes of the net apparently overlap each other at the front and rear sides of the heat source, thus improving both heating and illuminating effects.

  • Patent number: 4533317
    Abstract: Incandescent mantles of improved strength and durability are provided for use with fuel-burning lanterns. The mantles are characterized by the use of a hydroxide mixture on the mantle sack of which the primary component is yttrium hydroxide together with a critical proportion of cerium hydroxide, whereby on conversion of the hydroxides to the corresponding oxides of the incandescent mantle, illumination is provided of a candle power comparable to that of the standard thorium oxide-cerium oxide mantles while at the same time obtaining a mantle of greatly increased strength and durability, as needed especially for use with fuel-burning lanterns where the mantles are subjected to frequent mechanical shocks.

  • Patent number: 4519775
    Abstract: Provided is a burner apparatus comprising a cabinet, a combustion cylinder disposed in the cabinet, a top panel disposed above the combustion cylinder and provided with exhaust holes formed in the peripheral portion thereof, a flame-shielding member with the lower surface thereof opened, provided to a portion of the lower surface of the top panel facing the combustion cylinder, and discharge means provided to the flame-shielding member for horizontally discharging flames rising from the combustion cylinder and streaming into the flame-shielding member, thereby averting the problem of flames undesirably coming out of the cabinet.
