Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to incandescent igniters for gas-engines and has for its object to provide improved means for holding the igniter tubes whereby a broken tube may be replaced by a new one readily and quickly land whereby when one igniter is disabled it if may be immediately cut off from connection with the cylinder and the explosions may continue to be produced by a second igniter, thereby avoiding the stopping of the engine to put in a new tube: A further object is to prevent as far as possible the conduction of heat from the incandescent tube.
Claims:
l. In an incandescent igniter for gas-engines, the combination with the cylinder and the incandescent tube, of an independent tube communicating with said cylinder and having a lateral seat for the incandescent tube, a jacket surrounding said incandescent tube and a valve-rod screw-threaded into the outer end of said independent tube and adapted to close its bore between its inner end and the seat for the incandescent tube whereby the latter may be removed and replaced without permitting the escape of gas from the cylinder, substantially as shown and described.
2. In an incandescent igniter for gas-engines, the combination with the cylinder, the incandescent tube and a seat for one end of said tube, of a longitudinally divided jacket to surround said tube, one part of said jacket being fixed and having a seat for the other end of the tube and the other part of said jacket being removable, substantially as shown and described.
3. In an incandescent igniter for gas-engines, the combination with the cylinder and the incandescent tube, of a fixed arm having its end in line with said tube, and a chambered screw carried by said arm and forming a seat for the outer end of said tube, substantially as shown and described.
