Application tiled February 28, 1917.

-To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. Hoces,V :i citizen of the United States of America, residing at lfVest Savannah.y Chatham county, Georgia, United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners;- and I do herebyA1 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', reterence being had to the accompanying drawings.l and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ot this specification.

'My invention relates to oil burners in which the oil is projected from the burner by means of steam. and more particularly to that type ot' burner in -which the steam projects the oil over a platform at the discharge end of the burner to obtain subdivision Ior spraying of the oil into a furnace chamber or other chamber to be heated.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,- in which like pa rts are similar-hY desig- Figure 1 a. plan view of a burner ein bodving my invention.

Fig. a side. view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section. on line 3-3 ot' Fig. l.

Fig. et is an end view.

Fig. 5 is a cross section on line. of Fig. 1.

Fig. is a cross-section 0n line (--U of Fig. 1. f

Fig. 7 is a cross section illustrating a. modification.

Conveniently the burner is made in three parts, comprising a steam chamber 1. having a Steam inlet Q and an oil' chamber 3 provided with an oil Vinlet. Jr adjacent to which is a clean out, closed by a. plug The two chambers are separated from one :mother by an interposed plate (3, and bolted or screwtul together by screwsl 'Both chambers discharge onto thev platform. the steam chamber through a port S la rger than the Idischarge port 9 of the oil chamber.

Such a. construction of the body of the loin-nel.` is known; my invention consists'in a particular construction ot' the platform.

The object of in v invention is to better distribute the oil throughout the furnace chamber to obtain a bett-er heating of the chamber and at the same time obtain a bet- Specicaton of Letters Patent.

ter combustion, thereby materially1 increasing the etliciency of the burner.

.lt will be observed thattheplatform is curved at its discharge :end ltljthereby el?r tee-ting 4the discharge from the several spraying elements'terminating at this end at (flitl'erent points, 'as will be hereinafter explained.

The platforu'ralio widens from an apron 9 of the oil discharge orifice to the curved or seniieirculai.- end 10%' The 'apron 9xi is parallel to the plate 6 to Iprovide.- a longi; tudinally directed o il port 9. A

Along the middle of the. platform I provide a. groove l1, preferablyhaving an upward incline 4from theoil discharge port 9 to the middle ofthe curved 'portiomas shown. This groove 11: is preferably deeper and wider than thegrooves 1i). that are arranged one at each side' of said groove T1. The grooves 1&2 are preferably inclined to a greater degree than cthe groove 11, so that they terminate at the/curved end of the platt'orm at a higher level, Fig. 4. 'l i The grooves 11 and 12`are rect-angular, or substantially so, in cross sectiomand located between them are channels "13 terminating in upwardly directed lips-X14. These chunnels 13 have substantially the same inclination as the channels 1 2, but .differ from them iu being eur-ved incross-section. Their side walls 13 at the port 9' are on the Sallie level as the apron 9".

The outer sides of grooves. 1 9 are formed bv the beveled 4sides l5 of the platt' 11n. These sides project above the other elements ot the platform and havebeveled t'aces 16.

The operation is as follows:

Steam and oil are supplied'through the vespective inlets i2 Aand '4 to the respective chambers 1 and 3. asis customary with this tvpc of burner. The oil discharges from the oil port .l over thc apron El onto the platform and is drivcn over the platform by the steam issuing from the .steam port 4 'lhc middle. .wider and deeper groove 11 carries the largest quantity of oil lo thc most cxtreme point of the curved cnil l() of the burner at the lowest level. Other streams arc carried anddirectcd b v the grooves if? at an angle to thc Stream in groove 1l.` to thc front of the bur-ucr. (-)il' also passes alongr the grooves li'alulis projectml upward and awav from theplarform b v 4striking thc inelincl-l wallsI ot' lhc upwardly lirected lips yl-L at the ends ot' .said grooves.

'and 121 as somewhat the shape of a quadrant of a sphere, and thusis well suited for use in the tire boxes vof locomotives and other engmes. In Fig. Y I have shown the grooves' l1 greater quantity` of oil` and carry a very much larger quantity. 'to the end of the platform, so that the streams issuing from the platform will be projected farther from the platform -before being broken up by the,

steam. The undercnts prevent too large a part of the oil from being spreadv from them laterally over the platform by 'the high pressure steam. r I

The `sides of the platform are also made higher than-in Figs. 1-G, and instead of having plain beveled oil-'dispensing surfaces, they are shown slightlyv cnrvedas at 1G, so as to present a surface of beveled type. but somewhat steeper .than the surface 16. Such a structure is preferable where. the tire box is long, vas the flame produced by siich a dburner is xnoreelonga'ted.
