Application filed December 31, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ALFRED PAPILLON, a citizen of the United States, residing at liowry, in the parish of Calcasieu and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gil-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a lull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in oil burners, the main and primary object of the same being to provide a burner of simple construction wherein the oil is thorou hl" atomized u 3011 bein discharged into J D O the zone of the propelling agent, the latter and the oil being separately fed to the burner.

A further object of the pr sent invention is the provision of an oil burner the parts of which are so related and associated that a preliminary heating is imparted to the oil prior to its discharge from the burner, thereby rendering the oil more susceptible to atomization The in\ ention also contemplates the provision of an oil burner the construction or which is such that the propelling agent for "he oil, preferably steam, is emitted from one burner in a film or sheet into which the oil is discharged, and thereby carried to a suitable atomizing instrumentality, there to be broken up and spread out in a finely-divided mass, and thus to promote to a higher degree the combustion of the vapor so produced.

With these general objects in View, and others which will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consists substantially in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims.

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional View illustrating the relation of the oil-feed pipe of the form illustrated in Fig. l to the sursounding heating chamber.

Rotor-ring in detail to the accompanying drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 thereof, the numeral 10 designates the body of the hereindescribed burner. lhis is in the form of a four-way connection Threaded into the top port of the connection 10 is an elbow 11 to which is connected a pipe 12, and said pipe 12 leads from any suitable source of steam supply, and may be controlled by any suitable form of ralre (not shown). At the lower port or the connection 10 is an elbow 13, the lower end of which is projected to the front of the body 10, and steam may, therefore, freely circulate from the pipe 12 through the body 10, and into the elbow 13, as is evident an inspection of l ig. To the rear port of the body 10 is connected pipe i h which. pipe leads from a suitable source of oil supply, and said pipe may be controlled by a valve (not shown) in order to regulate or cut oil entirely the how of the oil through this pipe. By referring again to Fig. 3, it will be noted that the pipe i l extends through. the body 10 to the forward port of said body, thus the pipe 1% is ii he path of the steam as it flows through the body 10. By reason of this the oil in the pipe 14; is given a heating preliminarily to its dis charge from the burner, the steam in the body 10 surrounding the pipe i l, and there by raising the temperature thereof Coin nected to the forward port of the body 10 a nipple 15 to which is connected it down.- wardly-direeted elbow l6, and in the lower end of the elbow 16 is screwed a reducing bushing 17 in which is mounted a nozzle 18 the diameter of which is considerably less than the diameter of the elbow lhe oil will, therefore, discharge from the wipe 1% through the nipple l5 and elbow it), directed in a downward direction nozzle 18., and when discharged by the latter the oil is intercepted. by the steam which passes through the body 10 and the elbow 18. For the purpose of this interception there is associated, with the elbow 13 a mising and atoinizing instrumentality designated entirety by the numeral includes a nipple 20 which has a threaded engag caent with the elbow the a he nipple =53erminating in idll a flared mouthpiece 21 through which the steam is adapted to discharge in a thin film or sheet, and extending. forwardly from the nipple 20 is a mixing plate 22, of extended area, this plate lying'beneath the nozzle 18, and receiving the oil discharged therefrom. In the discharge of the steam from the mouthpiece 21 the same follows the surface of-the mixing-plate 22, and at the forward end of the plate 22 is arranged a cupshaped deflector 23 which extends at an angle of substantially forty-five degrees to the plane of the plate '22. Hence, as the steam with the body of oil which it has intercepted from the nozzle 18 is projected against the deflector 23, the same is broken up and thoroughly atomized, and spread out in a finely-divided mass, and thus promotes to a higher degree the combustion of the vapor which is so produced.

Referring now to the-formof the burner illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, it will be noted that the mixing and vaporizing instrumentality is the same in this form as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The body of the burner, however, is different, the form illus* trated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 being designed for use in furnaces of the smaller sizes. The nipple 15 is connected to a T-connectio'n 24 with which is engaged a nipple 25, and said nipple 25 is threaded to a T-connection 26 which leads from a suitable oil supply 27 which may be controlled by a suitable valve. The nipple 20 of the mixing and atomizing instrumental'ity is engaged with a T-connection 28, and this communicates with the T-connection 24 by an interposed nipple 29. To the rear end of the'T-connection 2 8 is a reducing bushing 30 with which connects a nipple 31, and this nipple 31 is engaged by a suitable bushing 32 with aT-connection 33, the latter, in turn, being connected to a suitable source of steam supply 34. The T- connection 33 engages with a threaded connecting plug 35, said plug 35 being threaded in a reducing bushing 36 which is carried by the T-connection26, and thus the T- connection 33 is sustained by the T-connection 26, and maintained in proper relation for feeding the steam to the T-connections 28 and 24c;

Byan inspection of Fig. 6, it will be observed that the nipple 25 extends through the T-connection 24, being of 'less diameter than the latter, and communicates with the nipple 15. Hence, the steam which is admitted to the T-connection 28 passes into the T-connec'tion 24, and surrounds the nipple 25, and by reason of this the oil is preliminarily heated as it passes through the nipple 25 prior to its discharge from the burner.

In the operation of the hereindescribed burner, the oil issues from the nozzle 18, and is caught by the mixing-plate 22. As the steam issues from the mouthpiece 21 in the thin film or sheet referred to, it passes over the plate 22, and catches the oil, and the latter, propelled by the steam, is projected against the cup-shaped deflector 23, and is broken up by this deflector into a finely divided mass. is projected against the deflector 23, is, of course, controlled by the pressure of the steam, and its volume, and in accordance with this pressure is the subdivision of the mixture regulated.

The burner is, of course, properly positioned within a furnace so that combustion may take place therein, but as the furnace forms no part of the present invention it has not been deemed necessary to illustrate the same.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as, new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is: Y
