Description: |
| Abstract:
The construction of our improved igniting device is based upon the property possessed by platinum gauze, woven into very small meshes, of igniting compressed explosive mixtures used in gas-engines at a low red heat or scarcely visible in the dark, whereas sponges or platinum moss (the employment of which is, moreover, a matter of extreme delicacy) only produces the ignition of such compressed mixtures at a white heat. The form and arrangement of our kindling device are such, too, as to render its operation particularly serviceable for practical purposes, as they enable the device to be started or primed without any necessity for removing it from the motor-cylinder.
Claim:
A device of the character described, comprising an ignition-chamber having suitable outlets and an interiorly-arranged medium capable of receiving a degree of heat to cause ignition of an explosive mixture admitted to said ignition-chamber, a valved inlet-tube connecting by an intermediate passage and perforated chamber with said ignition-chamber. |
