in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the folj *lowing is a specification.

f tained and the flow of gas shall be "j produco yan a provide 9i parts This invention relates to hydrocarbonA burners using the self-generated gases of moleum, gasolene and sin'xilar volatile hyarbons Theprimary object of the invention is to provide a burner capable of generating and I consuming a large quantity of a gas or vapor which shall be under instant control lwhereby the size of the flamefoar;.bey yimmediately adjusted to moznentary-reguire ment. 1

A further object of the provide means whereby the burner may be throttled sofas to consume a very small quantity of gas and yet produce a blue flame of high heat producing capacity. in a zone remote from its outlet.

Another object of the invention is 'to paratus in which a reservoirv gas isl automatically mainunder or supply Vo up roximately uniform '-pressure.

" `ctillfanother object of the invention 1s to an arrangement and combination whereby the valves shallv not ybe ex- .a the ignited gases and consequently protected from injury due toy excessive and 'in which the various parte of the apparatus `are accessible for cleaning and the removal of any deposits that may form., and in which the apparatus may be readily assembled` and taken apart.

The' various other objects of the mven .tion will be more fully forth ,in the folf lowing description of oneform of apparatus embodying the invention, which lcon`- s'ists in the new and novel features of the construction and combination of parts hcrey ply and outlet pipes andthe valve control inafterset forth and claimed.

flame. The supply pipe is provided with a valve 1 and is supported by any suitablel means as a clamp 4 provided on the frame 5, and has its inner end threaded to engage with the casing'Q which is preferably circular in shape. An outlet pipe 7 is provided `which has its inner end arranged at or near the top of the chamber 3. Said outlet pipe 1s also preferably secured to and supported byfthe frame bymcans of clamps 8. The

Aouter or delivery end of the pi 7 is preferably formed by al separate plpe section 9 arranged approximately horizontal and having ,a tapered `outlet or orifice 10 formed therein below the center of the casing 2. One end of said section is `normally closed by a plug 11i which permits sediment or any deposition of carbor'sto be readilygremoved.

Y A conicalgasrspreading and valve bearing member orglronsing 14 is arranged'be tween theraSing 2 and the pipe section 9 with its apex immediately above the orifice 10. The said member is provided with a recess 15 and with a central bearing 16 for the needle valve 17 which is adapted to engage with the orifice. Said valve is operated in any well-known manner as by a shaft 18 whichy extends into the recess through a passage 19 and is operatively con-- nected to the needle valve in any well-known mannenI s by' 'the link 20. f The free end of the." alve is preferably provided with one orjffmor'el corrugations lor grooves 21 "ita small quantity offgas to han it ia' seated in the-oriice.

portion o'lwhich ridges project the 'suplever, placing these members out of line of the ascending gas which is divided bythe ridges thus preventingv the ignition ofthe gas at the point of contact of the pipes and 'lever with the memberfi. A peripheral radial `flange is provided on the member 1.4 which extends outwardly beyond the nahridges 22 project from the i f he, member '14, through the uploq which causes the gas flanges and interrupts rents of gas. rupting device such as the baille pins 24 may be provided which will form a baille in case only a small quantity of gas is being used. The .member 1l is supported preferably upon the supply pipe 1 and the outlet pipe l in any suitable manner as by means of' the set screw 25.

A small cup 2G is-sccured preferably to the bottom uf the section il adapted to hold sullicicnt liquid to heat the supply pipe enough to induce the generation of' vapor when it is desired to commence the use of the burner. By opening the valves the liquid will flow out through the orifice, thus not only filling the cup Q6 but covering the pipe itself with the liquid as it overflows.

In full operation thcfliquid is supplied to the supply pipe 1 and is vaporized as it passes through the bent portion' of thev pipe which is in the fiume. The vapor passes the ascending cur- `into the bottom of the pressure chamber where it is superheated and' thence passes from thc top of the chamber into the o utlet pipe whence it escapes through the orifice 10. The gas is caused to spread as it leaves the'orificc b v the needle valve that is positioned immediately above the orifice in the path of the gas, which aseends until the baille flange or plate 23 is encountered tomix with the air and forma suitable The baflleplate not only vserves to mix the air and the gas but also tends'to prevent the gas from passing beyond the plane of the baffle plate without igniting. In case it is desired to reduce the consumption of gas, and, consequently, the size of the flame, the needle valve can be operated to close or partly close the orifice, but even When the needle valve is entirely closed a relatively small quantity of gas will escape throu h. the corrugations formed thereon, which will keep the flame alive at the line of the intermediate baflie pins. The operating mechanism for fthe valve is arranged Within the conical member so that it is completely protected from theheat of the flame, and although a suitable operating handle has been indicated on the drawing for operating the valve it is obvious that .the control 'may vbe placed at any desired positionA through suitable levers or linkage.- It is obvious also that various other changes within the skill of the mechanic may be made in the particular mechanism shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention provided the means set forth in the following claims be employed.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination with a gas reservoir and an outlet pipe having an" orifice provided therein, of a conica member arranged adjacent to the An intermediate gas inter-` mixture for ignition.-

orifice, a valve carried by said member and adapted to close said outlet, and means secured to said member gases escaping through said orifice.

:2; In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination ofr a supply pipe' and a gas reservoir adapted to be` disposed in the flame from the burner, an outlet pipe from said reservoir, with the end thereof in the reservoir positioned above the end of the supply pipe in the reservoir whereby tlize gas is compelled to traverse the reservoir, said outlet for spreading the v pipe having an orifice below the reservoir,

and a valve between the reservoir and the orifice, arranged in the path of the vgases escaping from the orifice. v

3. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a supply pipe, a gasreservoir, van outlet pipe having an orifice below the reservoir, and valve supporting means secured adjacent to the bottom of the reservoir and having a recess provided therein and an axial bearing communicating with said recess, a valve in said bearing, and means in the recess for operating the valve.

4. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of an outlet pipe provided with a tapered orifice, forming ya valve seat, a valve for incompletely closing said' orifice, and a support for said valve provided 'with' a `spreading means for causing the `rvapor to mix with the surrounding' air. Y ,A y

5. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of an outlet pipe for the vapor pr'ovided with a tapered orifice forming a valve seat, a 'valve supported above said orifice in the path of the vapor escaping therefrom, and conical supporting means for said valve provided with longitudinal ribs and with a radial baille plate. 4 i

6. In a yhydrocarbon burner, the combination of an outlet pipe for the vapor provided with an orifice forming a Valve seat, a valve for said orifice having a corrugation formed in its engaging face and supported above the orifice, and a gas spreading member forming a support for said valve and forming a housing to protect the valve stem from the heat of combustion.

7. In 'a hydrocarbon burner, the combination of a reservoir, a supply pipe communieating'l with the bottom of the reservoir, an outlet pipe communicating with the top of the reservoir and the reservoir, a valve housing between the reservoir and orifice, said reservoir and housing being supported by thefsupply pipe and the outlet pipe, a valve mounted in said housing adapted to seat in Vsaid orifice, and

'means on the housing for spreading the outlet pipe commumcatingrwith the top of having an orifice below Ithe reservoir and having Van orifice below recess, and a plurality of gas interrupting 10 devices radially arranged on said, housing above the orifice. i
