578,896. Oil burners. BREESE, J. L., and HAYTER, B. April 17, 1944, No. 7063. [Class 75 (i)] An oil burner for attachment to the outside of a stove, furnace or other heater comprises a vaporizing pan 20 supported by a pipe 21 in a cylindrical burner pot 16 arranged in an outer cylinder 13 and attached to a flame ring 9 having a flange 11 extending into an aperture 7 in a base-plate 5 secured to the heater front 2. The plate 5 may be formed with spacing lugs 8 against which the burner is secured by threaded tie-rods 30. Oil is supplied to the pan 20 through a chamber containing a float valve or other constant level device and the rate of flow is regulated automatically or by a manually operated element. The oil in the pan is ignited by a match inserted through normally closed apertures 60, 61 in the pot 16 and cylinder 13 and burns with air supplied through an aperture 15 in the end of the cylinder 13 and entering pot 16 through apertures 18, 19. Vanes 33 in the cylinder 13 prevent eddy currents. Additional air is supplied to the flame through the space 12 between the flange 11 and plate 5. The pan 20 may be attached by a clip 22 to the end of the pot 16 or may be adjustably mounted eccentrically on a hub threaded on the pipe 21. A motor driven fan may be arranged in the aperture 15 and the apertures 19 may be omitted. A heat-shield may be arranged between the float chamber and theheater.
