To all whom 'Ltma'y concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL W. STATTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneola, in the county of Clark and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in OiLBurners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil burners for stoves or furnaces, the object of the invention being to provide a simple and eliective construction of burner' which may be formed mainly of tubing or piping, whereby economy of manufacture is secured. The invention consists of the features of construction, combination and arrangement of part-s, hereinafter fully described and claimed7 reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of an oil burner embodying my' invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through one' of the burner tubes. Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse sect-ion thereof. Fig. 6 is a view of a cleaner employed in connection with the invention.

The burner comprises a pair of parallel burner pipes or tubes l and 2 disposed in the same horizontal plane and connected at one end by a return bend or Ushaped coupling comprising elbows 3 and a T-joint or coupling member 4. An oil supply pipe 5 eX- tends above and en a line centrally between the burner pipes and is connected at its inner end with the return bend by an elbow, wherebyoil and gas from said pipe will be equally distributed to the' burner pipes. The portion ol.z the oil supply pipe lying im mediately above the burner pipes forms a generator, lying within the Zone of the fiames and heat from the burner pipes, whereby the oil passing therethrough is converted into vapor in the operation of the burner and thence flows to the burner pipes `for consumption.

Each burner pipe is closed at its outer end, or end oppositie its point of connec ltion with the return bend, by a screw plug 6 and isprovidedin its sides with rows of jet orifices 7 for'the outflow of oil or gas, .which is ignited on the outer side ot the ipe. Each of said pipes is also provided 'inl itsl upper side with one or more jet orivtides 8 atwhich the issuing gas 1s ignited to' su ply dames to play against the superpose generator portion of theoil supply pipe, for heat-ing the latter etfe'ctually for the conversion of the oil into vapor. These openings S areconveniently formed by boring a hole 9 in the bottom of the pipe and in the same operation partially boring through the top wall of the pipe to form a recess 10, thus `reducing the surface of the pipe to a thin web, as at 11, in which the opening S may be conveniently punched.

The wall of the opening 9 is threaded to receive a plug l2, whereby it is closed in the operation of the apparatus. This method of Jforming the openings 8 not only allows them to be made of any convenient size and to be punched instead of drilled, but also provides the opening 9 through which a tool or implement may be introduced to clean the opening 8 and facilitate cleaning of the interior of the burner pipe, into which a cleaning implement may also be introduced upon the removal of the plug 6.-

The formation of the openings 8 and webs lll provides enlarged recesses in the to walls of the burner pipes'which communicate `with said openings 8, and through which the vapor Hows on its passage to lsaid openings.- These recesses thus serve to collect and retain the solid particles flowing out with the vapor, thus diminishing the liability of the clicking of the jet openings from the deposit of soot and other impurities.

Arranged below' the burner pipes is a starting pan 13 adapted tohold an initial supply ot' oil which is ignited to supply heat for starting the .apparatus into operation at the outside. This pan is provided with inwardly extending supporting arms 14 having hooks or loops l5 to embrace the burner pipes, whereby it may be slidably applied and removed from the` free ends of the burner pipes.

In starting the apparatus into operation, a small quantity of oil may first be placed in the burner pan and ignited to heat the burner pipes and supply pipe to start the generation of gas. or the controlling valve 16 in the supply pipe may be opened to allow oil to flow to 'the burner tubes and through the jetI orifices therein to the pan, such supply of oil being ignited for the purpose described. After the generator porltion ofthe pipe 5 is sufficiently heated, the oil is converted into vapor therein and flows to the burner pipes and out through the jet orifices therein, at which points it is 1gloo nited. i These flames and particularly the" flamesfrorn the'oriices 8 play against the generator portion of the oil supply pipe and thus leep it at all times heated for the effective generation of gas. v In connection with the apparatus, a cleaning tool'l?v of .the type shown in Fig. 6 may be employed. This consists of a flat blade or strip carrying a handle 1.8 at one end and having a right angularly bent free 'end -19 formed with a -segment-al recess 2O adapted to parclaim z- Anvoil burner comprising a pair of parallel burner pipes, connected at one end by a return bend and each closed at its opposite end, said pipes being provided with rows of lateral orifices and top, 1 orifices, the latter communicating With enlarged retaining recesses in .the topl Wall of the pipe, eachburner pipe having an opening in its bot- I ltom in line with each top orice and recess, a closure for said opening, and an oil supply pipe extending above and centrally rbetween the burn; pipes and connected at one end with the refurn portion. y
