GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. a, rare.

Application filed March 24, 1917. Serial 1\l'o. 157,072.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEBASTIANO M R- TOCCIO, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to improvements in stoves and ranges, and the like, adapted to be operated by a fluid fuel, and the same has for its object more particularly to pro vide a burner for the fuel which will be economical in its operation and simple in its construction.

Further, the invention has for its object to provide a burner comprising a plurality of mixing chambers provided with means for admitting a fluid fuel to any of the mixing chambers independently of the others thereof.

Further, the invention has for its object to provide a plurality of units or sections comprising a mixing chamber and pipes communicating therewith together with means for admitting a fluid fuel to the mixing chamber whereby burners of di'fierent sizes may be formed by the assembling of two or more of the units or sections.

Further, the invention has for its object to provide a stove or range of this type with heat-retaining members which are so supported within the fire-pot that their weight is not borne by the burner.

Further, the invention has for its object to provide a stove or range of this type with heat-retaining members which are so supported within the fire-pot that they-are all positioned above the outlet openings of the pipes of the burner.

@ther objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends, my invention consists in the novel details of construction, and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing showing two illustrative embodiments of the inven tion Figure 1 is a front view of a range with the improved burner applied thereto, parts being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a sectional viewtaken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, part or" the heat-retain ing members being removed;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the sections or units of a modified form of burner.

While the improved burner may be used in connection with any suitable type of stove or range, it is shown, for purposes of illustration, as applied to a French range.

Referring to the drawing 10 indicates a range having a fire-pot 11 located between

ovens

12, 12, as is usual in French ranges. Positioned within the firepot 11 and supported in any suitable manner, as for example, by brackets 13 is the burner.

As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the burner comprises a hollow casting 1 1 provided with a plurality of longitudinally extending partitions 15 forming a plurality of mixing chambers 16 arranged side by side. As shown the casting 1 1 has five mixing chambers 16 formed therein but it is, of course, understood that this number may be varied without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The upper wall of each of the mixing chambers 16 is provided with a plurality of outlet openings arranged in a row and extending longitudinally thereof, and the lower wall of each mixing chamber 16 is provided with an inlet opening 18.

Communicating with the outlet openings of the mixing chambers 16 and extending upwardly therefrom are plurality of rows of pipes or

nozzles

19, 20 and 21. The pipes 19, communicating with the outlet openings of the central mixing chamber, are straight and their upper ends terminate below the top plate of the range a suiiicient distance to form a space between the top plate and the ends of the pipes for a purpose hereinafter described. The pipes 20, communicating with the intermediate mixing chambers 16, are of the same height as the pipes 19 and are provided, intermediate their ends, with laterally and upwardly extending branches 20' the upper ends of which are in the plane of the upper ends of the

pipes

19 and 20, and are preferably spaced from the upper ends of the pipes 20 a distance equal to the distance between the upper ends of the pipes 19 and the upper ends of the pipes 20. The pipes 21, communicating with the outer mixing chambers 16, are of w ll less height than the

pipes

19 and 20 and their upper portions are inclined outwardly and terminate adjacent the walls of the

ovens

12, 12 in order to direct the flame thereagainst.

22 indicates a gas pipe leading from a suitable source of gas supply and provided with branch pipes 23 communicating with the air supply pipes 24: having their inner ends connected to the inlet openings 18 of the mixing chambers 16. The branch pipes 23 are provided with valves 24L to control the flow of gas therethrough and the pipes 24 are provided with regulating valves of any suitable type to regulate the amount of air passing therethrough.

Supported above the upper ends of the

pipes

19 and 20 in any suitable manner, as by brackets 25, is a grid or grate 26 having the openings thereof registering with the upper ends of the

pipes

19 and 20 and the branches 20. The space between the grate 26 and the top plate of the range is filled with a plurality of heat-retaining members 27 of any desired form, made of lire-brick, fire-clay, lava, or any other suitable refractory material. The heatretaining members 27 conserve and store the heat from the flame, thereby effecting a saving in the amount of gas consumed during the use of the range, and as all of the members 27 are positioned above the burner they will all be heated to substantially the same extent.

Referring to Fig. 4: illustrating a modiflcation of the invention, 28 indicates one of a plurality of units or sections of which the burner is composed. Each unit or section comprises a mixing chamber 29 provided with a plurality of pipes 30 extending upwardly from its upper surface and communicating with the interior thereof. Fluid fuel is supplied to the mixing chamber 29 of each section or unit 28 through an inlet opening 31 in its lower wall in the manner above described. While the pipes 30 of the section shown in Fig. 4 are similar to the pipes 19 associated with the central mixing chamber 16 of the burner shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 it will, of course, be understood that other units or sections may be provided having pipes similar in construction to the

pipes

20, and 21 associated with the intermediate and outer mixingchambers of the burner shown in said figures. The sections or units 28 of the burner are placed side by side and the number of units or sections employed in any instance to form a burner will, of course, depend upon the width of the fire-pot of the stove or range in which the burner is to be installed.

In operation if the maximum amount of -heat is required for cooking or other purposes, all of the

pipes

19, 20 and 21 of the burner are utilized. If the

ovens

12, 12 are not to be used, but the maximum amount of heat is required at the top plate of the range the

pipes

19 and 20 are utilized, whereas if only a moderate heating of the top plate is desired the fuel supply to one or more of the rows of

pipes

19 and 20 may be cut off by closing the appropriate valve orv valves 2 1 and the remaining row or rows utilized thereby effecting a saving in the consumption of gas. In either instance a further saving of gas may be effected by cutting off the supply to one orrnore of the rows of

pipes

19 and 20 after the heat-retaining members 27 have become thoroughly heated as they retain the heat that they have absorbed for a considerable period of time.

Should it be desired to use only one or both of the ovens, one or both of the rows of pipes 21 are utilized thereby insuring that none of the gas being consumed by the burner will be wasted.

Having thus described my said invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A burner comprising a. plurality of contiguous mixing chambers having pipes communicating therewith and extending upwardly therefrom, the pipes communicating with certain of said mixing chambers being of less height than the pipes communicating with the other of said mixing chambers and having their upper portions extending outwardly, each of said mixing chambers beine provided with means for admitting fluid fuel thereto, substantially as specified.
