To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that ll, JOHN Boren, a subject of the King of Norway, and a resident of. the city of New York, county of Kings, and State of New York, (whose post-otlice address is Flatiron Building, New York city,) have invented anew and useful lmprovement in llncinerators, oi which the following isa specification. The object ot my invention is to provide a simple, economical and durable incinerator which may be operated with gaseous or liquid fuel forithe purpose ot incineratlng garbage vand other material at a minimum expense and without objectionable gases or other resulting products. rllhis object `is accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter more particularly set forth `in the accompanylng drawmy improved incinerator;

ings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional perspective view showing a portion of my improved incinerator with its sheathing omitted; i

Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional views, taken on the lines 2*2 and 3-3 respectively, of F ig. 4, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. d is a longitudinal central section of Figs. and 6 are sectional views, taken on the lines 5-5 and 6-l6 respectively, of Fig. 4f, looking in the directionot' the arrows.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters desig-y nate similar parts. i

My improved incinerator 1 is provided with a garbage or other refuse receiving chute 2 placed near its upper front and closed by a hinged cover 3, a flue l placed at the upper rear portion of its top, a series of burners 5 connected to a main 6, and an ash pit door 7 below the burners 5 and mounted in the conventional manner. The burners 5 are` opposite openings 8 in the iiront 9 of the incinerator so that flames may be blown through its front against the garbage in a manner which will be described below. rllhe -front 9 is preferably made of cast iron, and in the rear of the same is an asbestos or other heat insulating sheath which is placed wherever convenient on all sides and the top of the incinerator so as to make the device as eilicient as possible. The sides of my improved incinerator and the Specication ot' Letters Patent.

top have the asbestos sheathing 10 covered by wrought or cast iron protecting sheets l1, which may be made in any suitable way.,

llt is apparent from Fig. 1 that the greater part of my improved incinerator is composed of refractory or other similar tire resisting material of some strength and substance with the parts arranged as shown; that is, the top tile 12 has the flue d, as above described, at lits rear, and below its front there is a garbage receiving opening 13 placed in the downwardly extending upper tront-tile 14. The 13 are extended so as to cover the front flue, in a manner which will be described below.

`rllhe top 12 is supported at the rear by the vertically disposed slabs 15 and 16, the former being the lower, and these slabs are connected by a tongue and groove joint or any other suitable means. rlhe sides 17 and 18 are made of a number of slabs in a similar manner and also support the top tile 12, and the front 19 is also made with slabs with openings 8, as above described, and also an opening 2O for the ash pit opposite the vdoor An' interior set of tiles 21 and 22 run parallel to the'tiles 15 and 16, except where the tile 22'is warped at its upper edge so as to conform to the Hue 4, as shown. These tiles are so placed as to form a flue between them and the outer tiles 15 and 16, and gases walls of the opening can pass into this flue through a recess 23 at so as to permit the ilames trom-the burners 5 toenter the garbage receiving chamber and also to permit volatile products from the garbage to reach the flames and be burnt. The bottom of the garbage receiving chamber is closed by a suitable dumping grate 28 which may be of any suitable form, and normally lies horizontal.

yIn view ot the foregoing, the operation of my improved incinerator will be readily un-l derstood. From time to time, the cover is raised and garbage is deposited in the chute 2 and at once indsits way to the garbage chamber between the tiles 21 and 22 on the one hand the tile 26 on the other and above the grate 28 and below the top tile 12. Here the garbage is allowed to accumulate until a large enough amount is present to justify its incineration, which occurs when the burners 5 are lighted in the usual manner so that iames pass from them through the openings 8 and slots 27 against the garbage and also over the top of the garbage through the recess 26a; and the light products of combustion, through the holes 24 and 25. As the garbage is heated, its volatile products mix with the products of combustion, the heavier passing out through the slots 27 and through the openings in the grate 28 to the ash pit where they are drawn up the rear flue to the iiue 4 and the lighter products pass through the plpenings 24 and 25 and thence up the rear When in use, the rear flue soon becomes intensely hot and then becomes a combustion chamber.

When the volatile products have been driven off and nothing remains except the ashes, the ashes may be dumped into the ash pit and allowed to accumulate and finally removed from time to time. If the ash pit gets too full these ashes may bedeposited in the chute 2, along with more garbage, and this may be repeated for several times before it is necessary to remove the ashes.

While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that it is not restricted thereto, but is broad In a device of the class described, a chami ber having a top, a bottom, a pair of side vwalls, a front wall and a rear Wall, a pair of vertical partitions extending from side wall "to side wall within the chamber forming a garbage receiving chamber between them and also forming flues between them. and the front and rear walls respectively, the front wall having an opening leading to the garbage chamber, the front partition having its upper end terminating below said garbage receiving opening and having its lower end terminating above the bottom of the furnace, a garbage supporting grating extending between the partitions, the front partition being provided with a grated portion, the front wall having openings directed toward the grated portion in the front partition, burners adapted to force flames through the openings in the front wall and through the grated portion of the front partition, the rear artition having a plurality of openings a ove the garbage supporting grate and having an opening below said grate leading to the rear fiue and the top of the chamber having an outlet opening leading' from said rear flue.

Signed at the city, county and State of New York, this 29th day of March, 1916.

JOHN BORGE.
