BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 2, 1915.

Application filed June 1, 1914. Serial No. 842,204.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK ANTONUCGIO, citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and 'State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in gaseous fuel burners, and more particularly to that type of burners which are designed for use in connection with water heaters, the ob' ect of the invention being to provide a device of this character which embodies novel features of construction whereby it can be readily taken apart and cleaned.

A further object of the invention is to provide a gaseous fuel burner which is comparatively simple and inexpensive in its construction, which will not become clogged by drippings, which can be quickly assembled or taken apart, and which will operate in an effective manner.

With these and other objects in view, the

novel combinations and arrangements of the parts as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the novel features thereof being pointed out in the appended claims.

For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of a gaseous fuel burner constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the burner on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the large burner ring, showing the same as detached from the burner. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 3, showing the small burner ring. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the central burner plate. Fig. 7 is a plan view of a gaseous fuel burner, showing a modified form of the invention. Fig. 8 is a vertical sectional view on the line 88 of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a detached plan view of'the outer burner ring used in the modified form of the invention. Fig. 10 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 11 is a detached plan view of the inner burner ring used in the modified form of the invention. Fig. 12 is a plan view of the central burner plate used in the modified form of the invention.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

Specifically describing the preferred embodiment of the invention, thenumeral 1 designates a burner pan which has a shallow formation and is formed with an outwardly inclined peripheral side wall 2. A suitable feed pipe 3 communicates with the burner pan 1, said feed pipe being shown as provided with conventional air inlet openings and a nipple 5 for connection with a gas pipe.

Arranged within the mouth of the burner pan 1 are two

annular burner rings

6 and 7, together with a central burner plate 8, said members being formed with outwardly inclined side walls which cooperate with each other and the outwardly flared sides 2 of the pan to provide supporting means for holding the members in position. The burner ring 6 is formed with an outer peripheral flange 6* and an inner peripheral flange 6*, both of said flanges being flared outwardly and the outer flange 6 resting v against and engaging the sides 2 of the burner pan to support the ring 6 in position. In a similar manner the inner burner ring 7 is formed with an outer peripheral flange 7 and an inner peripheral flange 7, both of which are inclined outwardly, the outer flange 7 bearing against and engaging the inner flange 6 of the ring 6 to support the burner ring 7 in position. Arranged within the ring 7 is the .central burner plate 8 which is formed with a peripheral upwardly proecting and outwardly inclined flange 8", said flange engaging the inner flange 7 of the inner burner ring 7 to support the plate in position. This. central burner plate 8 is connected to the bottom of the pan 1 by means of some detachable fastening member such as the bolt 9. hen this bolt is in position the two burner rings and central burner plate are held securely against displacement and the parts are held rigidly in an assembled position, although after the bolt has been removed, the various parts can be lifted out of position so as to be easily cleansed.

The outer inclined flange 6 of the burner ring 6 is formed with a series of upright ribs 10 which fit within corresponding depressions 11 formed in the inclined sides 2 of the pan 1. It will also be observed that the outer faces of the ribs 10 are formed openings.

' grooves providing a with semicircular longitudinally disposed 1' will be observed that the outer flange 7 of the smaller burner ring 7 is formed with ribs 14 adapted to be received Within corresponding depressions 15 in the inner flange 6 of the burner ring 6, the said ribs and depressions being provided with the

corresponding grooves

16 and 17 respectively which cooperate with each other to provide burner openings. observed that the-flange 8 of the central plate 8 is formed with ribs 18 adapted to be received within corresponding depressions 19 in the inner flange 7 of the burner ring 7, said ribs and depressions being formed with the corresponding grooves 20 and 21 which cooperate with each other to provide an inner annular series of burner As indicated upon the drawings, the periphery of the larger burner ring 6 may also be provided at suitable intervals with positioning and supporting lugs 22 adapted to engage suitable seats 23 in the side walls 2 of the burner pan.

When the several burner rings and central plate are assembled within the mouth of the burner pan, the cooperating inclined walls of the members provide a supporting means for retaining them in position while the corresponding ribs and depressions bring about an interlocking connection between the members, the corresponding series of, annular rows of burner openings. The members can be easily lifted out of position after the bolt 9 is removed, so that the burner can be easily and thoroughly cleansed at any time. It will also be observed that each of the

rings

6 and 7 is constructed to provide an annular trough while the central burner plate 8 provides a pocket, the troughs and central pocket being adapted to catch and collect drippings from the boiler so that they will not find their Way into the interior of the burner and interfere with the proper action thereof.

Figs. 7 to 12 inclusive of the drawing serve to illustrate a modified form of the invention. The numeral 24 designates a burner pan which, as in the previous instance, is formed with a peripheral ,out-

wardly inclined side wall 25, and communi cates with a fuel supply pipe 26. Arranged within the mouth of the pan are the

concentrio burner rings

27 and 28, together with the central burner plate 29 The outer burner ring 27 is formed with the outer peripheral flange 27 and the inner peripheral It will further be flange 27", the latter having only a fraction of the height of the former, although they are both, outwardly inclined and the outer flange engages the inclined side wall 25 of theburner pan to support the ring in position. In a similar manner the inner burner ring 28 is formed with an flange 28 and an inner peripheral flange 28", the latter being shorter than the former, and the outer flange 28 engaging the inner flange 27 b of the ring 27 to support the ring in position. The central burner plate 29 is formed with a peripheral and outwardly inclined flange 29 which engages the inner flange 28 of the ring 28 to support the plate 29 in position. The

flanges

29, 28 and 27 are of substantially the same height and are preferably higher than the flanges outer peripheral 27 and 28 which are also of substantially the same height. It will also be observed that the

flanges

29, 28, and 27 are provided on the outer faces thereof with the upwardly extending. grooves 30 which 'cooperate with the'walls or surfaces of the members against which they lit to provide burner openings leading the top of the burner. As in the previous from the pan 24 to l instance the burner rings provide troughs" while the central burner plate provides a pocket for the purpose of collecting drippings and preventing them from passing into the interior of the burner in such a manner as to interfere eration thereof. 7
