OIL-BURNER.

Speci'cati'onof Letters Patent. Patented J an, 27, 1914, Application filed September 22, 1913. Serial No. 791,250. l

This invention relates to new and useful;

improvements in oil burners and is designed to provide a device of the character described for utilizing kerosene and other similar :fuel and for conveniently and effectively converting the same into gas under the heatthe Vburner itself.

Another object is to provide for taking the gas'from the generator and carrying the same to the burner proper, where combustion takes place, in a simple and efficient manner.

Anotherv object of the invention resides in the provision of a fuel nozzle andaneedle valve for controlling the passage of fuel being so constructed that by its operation it cannot enlarge the nozzle orifice and thereby permit the flow of too much fuel therethrough. V l

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to cer- 'tain .novel features, of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, anexample of which is given in this specification and drawings,

Figure 1 is a sectional sideelev-ation of theburner, Fig. 2' is a sectional side eleva- 'i tion of the nozzle, showing the connecting parts, and Fig. o shows the burner in inverted position, showing also the fuel-tank and the service pipe connected therewith.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numeral lrefers to a horizontal cylindrical shell or casing generator of the burner and is provided at its inlet or rear end with a reducer 2 which is screwed tliereover to partially close said end and is provided with a central internally threaded perforation 3.

The numeral 4 refers to a conical shaped nozzle, the enlarged end of which is externally threaded and screwed into the inner end of the perforation 3 and the inner en of which projects into the generator 1. This nozzle has a longitudinal passageway 5 therein, which is conical in shape. A valve and useful which forms the v of the casing 7, so that by rA suitableservice" vided with an elbow- 14,

d nipple v 6 is provided which is outwardly threaded at each end, and one end of which is screwed intothe outer end of the perforation 3. Screwed on to the other end of this nipple is the valve casing 7 and extendi'ng through said casing reduced, forming the annular shoulder ,19, said reduced end conforming in shape tothe passageway 5' and controlling theft fuel therethrough. The outer end needle .valve 8 has the hand wheel 10";iii intermediate section thereofj is" threaded, through a correspondingly ed portion "turning the. hand wheel 10 the needle valveumaybe controlled. Ipipe 11 istconnected to the nozzle and is in communication with a source of supply-as, for example,1an elevated tank 12 located at a as to preclude the possibility of the ignition of the oil in said tank.` A suitable control to control the supply of liquid fuel to the nozzle.

The forward end of the generator is proone end of Which is secured over the said end of said generator and the other end of which receives the bushing 15.

he which 'is secured in the the other end of which one end of the burner pipe 17 is secured so as to bring said burner pipe parallel with the generator 1. The other end of this burner pipe is closed by means f the cap 18 which is secured thereover. The burner pipe is provided with orifices 19, positioned in the side thereof toward the generatorA gas is designed to escape in the form of a fiame. y

In the operation of the device, oil is admitted to the 'interior of the generator 1 through the nozzle 4, said oil collecting in thev generator 1. Heat is then 'applied to the generator in any preferred manner, so as to convert the oil into gas, which will pass through the bushing 15 and the L 16 to the burner 17 and-through the perforations 19 numeral lvrefersto an L, one end of I thereof where it may be ignited by means of a match or votherwise soas to emit flames y d which strike the generator so as to maintain said generator in `a heated condition to continue the formation of gas.

Particular attention is called to the formadistance from the burner, so

bushing 15 and in 1, through which the and nipple, is the y v -needle valve 8 whose inner end is abruptlyl -valve 13 is carried bythe service pipe so as specific `'construction and it is pointed out the -fact that the annular shoulv er 9- of the valve is arranged to-abut against the outer vend of the nozzle 4, when the valve .is com-- preventsV the point of Athe 'valvefrom gradually venlargxng .the passageway in the nozzle and pletely closed. .This construction thus permitting too much fuel to tlow into the generator 1.

In case t oo :auch oil is admittedinto the` generator, 1t will not be completely' gasiied vand sootfwill -be formed' in said generator; and in addition tothe soot formation there will be the, liability shown obviates these defects and provides foi-,the complete and exact. control'ofI the How-of Jfuel through the'nozzle and into the generator.'i` f -f `.While no specific application-.tof

prest v v y i ent form (hurner has been shown, the device is 'particularly desigfnedr for application torf cook stoves,`

althoughD ity may be used to generate heatufor any purpose whatsoever,

VVinvention, it is apparent-that the specific1 construction thereof `While I have shovvn only one form of the mayf be' varied to suit thejditferent applications lof the burner aric'l A v i l y vsageivay is cpxnpl ely closed by said valve,

I herelivzy reservey the right. to 1nake such variation,l in the construction thereof as will;` v not depart from thej principle ofthe inven txoxr.-
