JOSEPH G. LOCKI-IART, OF ATTICA, KANSAS.

LIQUID-FUEL BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 7, rate.

Application filed April 4, 1916. Serial No. 88,862.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it-known that I, JOSEPH C. Loom-mar, acitizen of the United States, residing at Attica, in the county of Harper and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-Fuel 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hydro-carbon burners and it has for its object to provide a burner of this character which will preheat the fuel to the proper degree to form a gas which, when introduced into the mixing chamber together with the proper amount of air, will produce a perfect combustion, thus eliminating all smoke, such as is found in burners of the ordinary type.

To these ends and to such others as the invention may pertain, the same consists in the peculiar arrangement, combination and adaptation of parts, all as will be more fully hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifi cally defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a side elevation, partly in section, of my improved burner, and Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view, the pan being removed.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A represents the burner having a top plate A which is provided with a downwardly extending flange A having openings A therein, which begin at the lower edge of said flange and terminate about half way between said edge and the under side of the top plate A, and the space within the burner between the upper ends of the slots A and top plate A forms a fuel preheating chamber A. A pan P surrounds the lower edge of the flange A and serves as a bottom or flash pan.

A fuel supply pipe B provided with a controlling valve B is passed through the flange A and is coiled as at 13 within the upper part of the chamber A and is then passed out through said flange A and downward, and coiled as at 13 about the outside of the flange A at a point about midway the height of the slots A as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Said pipe projects a short distance from the burner and is bent back upon itself to form a nozzle B which projects into a mixing nipple C secured to the flange A the opening through the nipple C communicating with the interior of the burner to permit of free passage of air and gas, said gas being c011- trolled by a suitable valve C.

In operation, a small quantity of fuel is ignited in the flash pan which will heat the burner and heating chamber A. The fuel within the coil B will be preheated and converted into gas which will pass through the coil B which is in direct contact with the flame from the slots A which will further heat the said gas which is then directed into and through the mixing nipple C to the interior of the burner. It will thus be seen that by regulating the fuel supply valve B and the gas valve C a perfect combustion may be obtained.

l/Vhat I claim to be new is 1. A hydro-carbon burner comprising a plate having a depending flange with openings leading from the lower edge of the flange and terminating short of the lower side of the plate, a nipple mounted upon the flange and communicating with the space surrounded by the flange at a point between the ends of the openings, and a pipe passing through the flange at a point above the openings and coiled within the flange and passing out of the same and surrounding the flange between the ends of the openings and having its discharge end alined with the nipple.

2. A hydro-carbon burner comprising a plate having a flange depending therefrom and provided with openings leading in from its lower edge and terminating short of the plate, a pipe passing through the flange and coiled within the same and extending out through the flange and down along the outer surface thereof and passing around the flange in a plane between the ends of the openings and having a discharge end disposed toward the flange and spaced from the same, and a nipple mounted upon the flange and communieating ,with the interior thereof and alined with the discharge end of the pipe.

3. A hydro-carbon burner comprising a plate having a depending flange, a nipple JOSEPH o'. LOGKHART.

mounted upon the flange and communieating With the interior thereof, and a pipe passing through the flange and coiled therein, then passing through the flange and coiled about the same below the nipple and having a discharge end alined With the nipple.
