Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement for a low pressure gas lamp, and more specifically for a venturi tube in order to furnish a more efficient flame.

Abstract: A lantern which may be manipulated between a closed position in which it surrounds a mantle or mantles for the lantern to a second, opened position in which the globe has been moved or otherwise manipulated to provide access to the mantle or mantles. As an example, the globe may slide upward relative to the mantles so as to expose the mantles for changing. A globe for the lantern includes a frosted band located on a circumference radially outward from the mantle or mantles. The frosted band minimizes glare from the lantern, and the combination of the frosted band and clear sections located above and below the band provide illumination substantially equal to a clear globe.

Abstract: A lantern having a compact configuration. The lantern has a generally cylindrical shape with a lower housing containing a fuel tank, a shut-off valve and a regulator. A cap at the base of the lower housing can be removed, providing access to the fuel tank. The fuel tank is refillable via a fuel fill valve arranged at the base of the tank. A burner tube is coupled to the regulator and extends upwards beyond the housing. A mantle, which when lit provides illumination, is removably coupled to the upper end of the burner tube. A generally conical reflector is arranged around the burner tube below the mantle and above the regulator. A glass globe is arranged around the burner tube/mantle assembly and a ventilator cap is arranged above the globe. The ventilator cap attaches to rails which extend up from opposite sides of the lower housing and can be readily removed to access the mantle.

Abstract: A heater provides both radiant heat and light. The heater provides radiant heat via a heater assembly which includes a gas burner heating a screen; the screen in turn provides radiant heat. The heater includes a light assembly which may provide light by, for example, burning gas fuel, or by other means such as electricity. The heater may include a heat reflector which can be removed and compacted or disassembled for storage. The light assembly may include easily removable glass panels surrounding the light source. Each glass panel is mounted to the lighting assembly by tabs extending from the bottom of the glass panel and a thumbscrew connection attaching the top portion of the glass panel to the lighting assembly. Hot exhaust gasses generated by the lighting assembly may escape through vents near the top of the lighting assembly, below the heating assembly.

Abstract: A automatic ignition gas lantern includes baffle positioned near the outside of a mantle, so that gas flowing out of the mantle will be disturbed by the baffle. This sets up a region with a fuel/air mixture that can be easily and reliably ignited. A spark is then generated in this region, which ignites the gas and causes the mantle to glow brightly.

Abstract: A metallic lantern mantle is set forth for use particularly in combination with camp-type lanterns utilizing a propane or gasoline-type fuel. The mantle is of a gauge to increase intermal pressure within the mantle volume and enhance luminescent qualities of the mantle during use. A serrated clamp adjustably accommodates an associated fuel outlet in the aforenoted lamp.

Abstract: A combination propane lantern, pressure regulator-valve, and pressurized propane fuel container in which the lantern is supported by the regulator-valve and the propane container, and the rate at which fuel is delivered to the lantern remains substantially constant and independent of pressure within the propane cylinder and ambient temperature. The lantern includes a burner assembly which extends upwardly from the base of the lantern, and the regulator-valve is connected to the burner assembly. The regulator-valve housing is provided with an internally threaded recess into which the connector fitting of the propane container is screwed, and the container thereby supports the regulator-valve and the lantern. The regulator-valve includes a rotatable adjusting knob which can be used to vary the fuel flow through the regulator-valve between fully closed and fully opened positions and therefore also serves as an on-off valve.
