. BURNER.

To all @t hom it may concern Be it known thatI, JOHN J. Masseria, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kingsville, in the county of Kleberg and State ofV Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, 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.

The invention relates to improvements in burners.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of burners and to provide a simple, Y. practical and comparativelyv inexpensiveburner of strong and durable constructiondesigned for use in coal and wood stoves `and adaptedto be readily applied to and removed 4from the same and capable of burningall'kinds of liquid f uel with safety.

A furtherV object of the invention is to provide a burner of this character adapted to furnish a hot blue blaze without soot or smoke and capable of obtaining a maximum amount of heat at the expenditure of a minimum amount of fuel'.

Vithy these and other objects inview the invention consists in the construction `and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the Yclaims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resortedto without departing from the spirit or sacrieing any of the ad# vantages of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a plan viewV of a burner constructed in accordance with this invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, Figj is a transverse sectional view, Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail horizontal sectional view illustrating the arrangement of the valvesfor controlling the supply of fuel to the burner and to the starting tube or supplementalburner, Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view illustrating the construction of the filter casing.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in the several views of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the Specification of Letters Patent.

invention, 1 designates a cylindrical casing constructed of cast metal or other suitable material and provided at the top with a plurality of transverse slots 2 located at the front and rear portions of the casing at suitable intervals. The casing is designed to be mounted within the fire box of a wood orcoal stove and the slots are located below and adjacent to the lids of the stove so that the gas which is ignited at the slots as hereinafter fully explained is adapted to intensely heat the' stove. The front andfrearA series of transverse slots-are spaced apart and the casing is provided at the space between the series ofslots with a row of perforations 3 and short grooves 4 extending laterallyV from the perforations. The gas ignites at the perforations which produce a line of flame for connecting the flames at the front and rear portions of the casing. The cylindrical casing is provided with front and rear heads 5 and 6 which are preferably in the form of caps as shown and the rear head is provided with a central socket 7 receiving and supporting a reduced closed end 8 of a longitudinal mixing tube 9 extending into the casing from the front thereof through an open ing 10 in the front cap 5 as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing. The mixing tube 9 which is open at its outer or front end 11 is also provided thereat with perforations 12 and it is equipped with a longitudinal series of depending jet tubes 13 which discharge the gas downwardly against the lower portion of the casing and the sides of the cylindrical casing causethe gas to flow upwardly to the transverse slots and the perforations. In order to maintain the depending jet tubes in a relatively cool condition the cylindrical casing is equipped with longitudinal air tubes 14 piercing the ends of heads of the casing and open exteriorly thereof for the passage of air through the said tubes 14 which are imperforate and do not permit the passage of air to the interior of the casing. Y

Fuel is supplied to the burner through a feed tube 15 consisting of hollow wire and provided at the front with a controlling valve 16 and connected at the rear end with one end of a transverse filter 17 which extends across the rear end of the casing and communicates at its other end with a generating tube 18. The filter 17 which is provided with a plug 19 to afford access to its interior is designed to be provided with any suitable filtering material such asV fine Wire for catching the dirt to prevent thesame from passing to the burner. The generating tube is connected at its front end with valves and 2l for controlling the supply of fuel to the burner and to an auxiliary burner'or starting tube 22 located at one side of the generating tube and adapted to heat the same in starting the burner. The auxiliary burner Which is provided at intervals with transverse slots for the ignitionl of gas has air inlet openings 24 at its front portion. The valve 2l which has a threaded adjustment at 25 may be of any desired construction andA it permits the iow of the `liquid fuel into the tube 22 and as it burns it heats the tube 22 and the generating tube 18. As

soon as the generating tube is heated sufficiently to form gas to start the burner the valve 21 is cut off or closed. The'valve 21 is provided with a tube 26 extending into the auxiliary burner or starting tube andV receivlng the stem 27 which carries aV ta-v pered plug 28 but any other suitable type of valve may be used. The valve 20 is of the needle type and the vaporized fuelV discharged into the open end of the mixing tube 9 commingles with the air vand thoroughly mixes with the same both in the tube 9 and while passing through the depending jet apertures and upwardly to the slots or apertures Where it is ignited. The valve 20 is supported by a projecting bracket or plate 29 extending from the open end of the tube 9 and provided with a perforation 30 receiving a projection or lug 3l of the valve 20. Y

A suitable drip pan 32 is located beneath the casing to catch any driprof the fuel and the tubes and the auxiliary burner or starting tube are supported by suitable lbraces 33 extending upwardly from the drip pan and secured to the same and to the tubes 15, 18 and 22. The cylindrical casing is seated in the drip pan and in practice the valves will be located exteriorly of the adjacent wall of the stove, it being designed to provide a wal] or portion to take the place of the usual stove door where the burner is inserted. Also in practice it is designed to connect a plurality of the burners with a tank or reservoir located exteriorly of a building and any suitable pressure such as air or water pressure may be employed for forcing the fuel through the pipes to the burners to be supplied. The device is applicable to various types of stoves and when it is removed from the same the stoves Ymay'l be used for the burning of Wood or coal. Various kinds of liquid fuel may be used in therburner` without danger and with perfect safety whether the oils are mixed or What is claimed is:

l. A burner of the class described including a cylindrical mixing chamber provided at the top with transverse slotslocated at the front and rearvportions of the casing, said casing being also provided between the series of slots with apertures arranged at intervals, a mixing tube Vextending into the casing andfprovided with jet tubes extending downwardly and means .for controlling the supply ofA fuel to the mixing tube.

2. A burner ofthe classdescribed including a casing forming a mixing chamber and provided at the top with apertures', a supply tube loeatedat one sideof the casing and extending along the same, ay generator tube extending longitudinally offthe opposite side of the casing andcommunicating at one end with the feed tube orfsupply tube, inner and outer valvesA connected with'the other end of the generator tube, the-inner valve being arranged to supply the'casing with fuel and a supplemental burner tube connected with theother valve and extending along the generator tube, said auxiliary burner tube being provided at `intervals with transverseislots located in the upper portion otherwise.

of the said auxiliary burner tube.

3. A burner of the class described including a casing forming a mixing chamber and provided at the top with apertures, a feed tube located Vat one side of the casing, a generator tube located at the opposite sideof the casing and communicating atY one end with they feed tube, a lmixing tube extending into the Vcasing and open at its outer end, a bracketror brace Yprojecting from the open end of the said mixing tube and a valve conc nected with the generator tube and interlocked with the bracket or brace, said valve being arranged to discharge into the mixing tube. i Y. y
