OIL-BURNER.

Patented Feb. 25, 1191s.

Application filed July 17, y1912. Serial No. 709,967.

Todi whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES T. HAASH` and ROBERT C. HUNTER, citizens of the" Unit-ed States, residing at Tucumcari,in thev county of Quay yand State of New Mexico, have invented new. and` useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oil burners-,the

object in view being to provide a burner adapted for burning gasolene, coal oil, and all crude oil products which have undergone a refining process..V

One object of the invention ,is to provide, in connection with a distributing hood and oil fed wicks. a generator which is exposed to the heat risingfrom the wicks, and which will become quickly heated, and thereafter Serve to vaporize the oil before it is admitted to the mixing nozzle andprojected into the interior of the hood.

Another object. of thefinventioii is to so.

combine the generator with the body of ythe burner that the flame may be easily controlled to enable the burner to produce a larger or smaller amount of heat.l

'With the above and other objects in view,

the invention consists infthe constructioinl combinatioirand arrangement. of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

and pointed-out in' the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure l is a plan view of'an oil burner, embodying the present in- Fig. 2 is a side elevationof thev same, showing in addition to the burner, the compressed air supply tank and connections. Fig. 3 a vertical' longitudinal section through the burner. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross section through the saine.

The burner contemplated in this invention comprises 'a base l which is provided along opposite sides thereof with gutters 2, `and surrounded by an upstandixng marginal flange 3 forming the outer walls of the gutters, as shown in the sectional views. Sup-4 ported upon the base 1 is an arched and perforated hood et, the opposite lower side edges of which are received in the gutters 2 above described. Just. outside of the side walls of the hood 4, wicks 5 of any suit-able n aterial,

preferably asbestos,'are placed in the gutters, and preferably extend slightly abovethe top of the flange 3.

Kas screwsawhich arejinserted through thel `inafter described'.

Iback thereof, where it isv supported by a' Secured 'to the flange 3 onthe outer sides thereof, are perforated wick protectors 6, in

the forni of .plates the'same being*y secured tothe base '-1 by niean'soffasteiiers 7, such protector plates and also through t-l'ie'tlanges .3, wicks 5 and hood 4,-thereby securing all of said parts together. The 'fioor -8 formed by ,the top of the base is made sloping from the center in opposite directions toward the gutters, so as to initially direct the oil into `the gutters, so as to saturate'the wicks in the generator pipe, herep primarily heating Extending around the hood is a generator pipe, one end of which projects beyondl the en d of the body ofthe burner, where it connects with'a supply or feed pipe 9. At the point where the feed pipe 9`communicates with the generator 'pipe 10,.there is placed' a needle valve 11,-for controlling,theaniount` of oil passing to the generatorpipe. VThe first run of the genera-torpipe passesalong one side of the burner, thence around the grooved lip l2 provided on the ,end wall of the burner, and thence back along the side of the burneror hood, where it is rterminally connected to the larger or expaiidedend 13 of a mixing nozzle li which projects through removable end doororlplate 15 into the interior of the hood 4.

' At the point of junction of thegenerator pipe with the mixing nozzle, a needle valve casingtl isa-rranged, the same being slightly above'the vcenter of the horizoiital portion 14 ofthe mixing nozzle. The needle valve l 7 'in said casing controls the amountl of vapor admitted to the interior of the hood',- and as said' vapor lis injected into the hood,

`air is drawn in through the open v.end ofthe enlargedportion 13'of the mixing nozzle to promote combustion.

' In conjunction with' the burner herein` abovek described,;and in order to obtainthe necessary pressure, we employ a 'compressed air supply tank 18v having a pressure gage 19, and a filler nozzle 20. This tank contains the oil and air pressure suttcient'to force the oil to the'burner, the passage` of oil to. the burner being'A regula-tedv by the ff' needle valve llandthe regulating valve 17.

The door or plate l5 is preferably made removable, and is provided With an' opening 21 for the mixing nozzle. and other openings for the passage of the opposite runs of the generator pipe.

To start the burner, a certain amount of oil is allowed to pass into the mixing nozzle lft, from which it finds its Way to the floor of the base l, and runs down into the gut-, ters in 'which the Wicks 5 are located.

The wicks are then lighted, and the heat therefrom soon brings the overlying generator pipe to a point where the oil, when admitted thereto, Will be generated into a combustible Igas. After the burnerv is once started, in a manner described, the'-` generator pipe is maintained ata high degree of heat, so that the oil which is compelled to pass therethrough before finding access to the distributing hood, is thoroughly generated into gas. This makes the burner very economical in y use, producing the highest degree of heat with a minimum quantity of fuel.

The burner as a- Whole is preferably shown in oblong form which adapts it to be used in a coal range in the summer season as a substitute for coal and Wood. The burner is, however, susceptible to various other uses which'vvill suggest themselves.

What is claimed is:

l. An oil burner, comprising a'rectangular base provided With parallel gutters at opposite sides thereof and having a Hoor which slopes toward the gutters, a perforated distributing hood supported by said base, Wicks in said gutters and outside of the hood, a mixing nozzle leading into the hood, a generator pipe extending around the hood and having parallel runs above the Wicks and entering the mixing nozzle, an oil supply pipe leading to said generator pipe, and perforated Wick protecting plates attached to the base and extending upward outside of the Wicks. a

3. An oil burnerfomprising a base provided vvith gutters at opposite sides thereof and leaving a Hoor which slopes toward the gutters, a'perforated distributing hood having its bottom edges seated in said gutters, Wicks in said gutters and outside of the hood, a mixing nozzle leading into the hood, a generator pipe extending around the hood above the Wicks and entering the mixing nozzle, an oil supply pipe'leading to said generator pipe, an upstanding fiange extend-vl ing around the margin of the base, and

-fasteners passing through said flange and the hood.

In testimony whereof We aiiix our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.
