" ARTHUR. E. HAUCK, or NEW YORK, N; Y.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known `that I, ARTHUR E. HAUCK, a citizen of theUnited States, and a resident of the city of N ew York, county oi Kings and State of New Yorktwhose post-ottico address is `101 Eleventh street, Brooklyn, N'. Y.), have invented a new and useful Tmprovement in Kerosene-Vapor Burners, oit. which the following is "a specilication. Y

The object of my invention isto provide Va -burnerfot` this class in which a flame can be projected with a predetermined intensity against the vaporizing part of the apparatus which intensity may be regulated at pleasurewhile the burner is in operation so that under .all conditionsct service-thc I heat of the burner is under complete control and .the iiame may be always proper so thatfthe apparatus is not injured by overheating and avdeposit of carbon `is prevented on the walls ofthe passages of the apparatus through which vapor passes bet-ore being Y brought to the point of combustion. v This and other objects are accomplished by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter more particularly set forth;

VF or a more detailed description oifmy invention, reference is to be hadV to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, in whic i Figure 1 is a longitudinal section oit my improved burner, the section being taken on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through the upper portion of Fig. 1 as indicated by the line 2*-2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. et is a plan view which shows the openings through which the llames protrude and the gauze for preventing a flash back.

Throughout the various' views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

y improved vaporizer burner 1 has a top casting 2 which containsthe Vnecessary passages and a regulator 3, which will be described below, a downwardly extending.

pipe 4 which has a U 5 which carries an ignition `pan 6 atits lower end, and this U 5.is also provided with a check 7 above which is a Bunsen burner.8 which is mounted on the vertical pipe 4.

. More particularly, the vaporizcr casting which lis called the casting although it may be made in any suitable way, has two parallel passages 9 and 10 and a cross connecting passage 11 all of which are suitably bored or reamed. An, access may be had to them Vbyrenioving the screws 12, as is obvious. Vapor or kerosene passes into the apparatus through the single end of the passage 9 and `thence to the passage 11 and from there to the passage 12, and thence down the pipe 4 through the UV 5 to `the check 7. A screw 12 in the U 5 permits access to the interior of thisUso that its passage may belmade and kept in proper condition` at all times. Over the burner 8 the casting 2 issomewliat enlargechns-shown at 13so as to give a large surface `for the action of the `heating flames., This enlargement maybe dispensed with it desired.

This casting 2 is provided with a rod 14 which is iixed in one end and substantially about the a-Xis of the casting and the regulator 3 slides on this rod and .on the casting, asshown. This regulator is composed ofan inner shell 15 which is preferably made of cast iron or similar material and over this is placed asbestos 16 or similar non-conducting material which may stand the flame indefinitely without injury. A small handle 17 is provided by means of which this regulator may be moved more or less on and ofi' the casting so that more or less of the part having vapor passages is exposed to the action of the flame. This permits the apparatus to be used for outdoor work or other regulated heating effect is required.

The pan 6 is secured to the U 5 by means of a suitable cap screw 18 fixed in the bottom of the U 5, as indicated. This pan is used whenever the apparatus is started byplacing therein a small amount of oil or kerosene or gasolene or other substance and igniting the same so as to heat the U 5 and vaporized oil passing therethrough so that this vapor will issue through the check 7 with some force. This vapor then passes into the Bunsen tube 8 which has suitable inwardly extending lugs 19 at its upper end which carry a .gauze 20 which in turn supports a collar `which depends from the perforated metal plate 21.` The vapor which issues from the check 7 mingles with air in the Bunsen tube 8 and is ignited above the Y plate 21 so that a hot set of Haines issue through the peri'orati ons in this plate 21 andV these flames heat the enlarged part of the casting 2 and the passages therein contained as well as adjacent parts of this casting so that the fuel passing through this passage is vaporized and heated and as it is under pressure it issues from the check 7 with increased force. By shifting the' regulator 3 on the casting 2, as above described, it is possible to regulate this force and thereby regulate the intensity of combustion so that flames of the desired intensity and color always issue from the apparatus and the passages in the casting 2 are not overheated so as to cause a deposit of carbon therein which will choke said Passages; I

The points of application or' the lames thereon from the perforated diaphragm 21 may always be regulated to some eXtent by raising or lowering the BunsenburnerS which is done by manipulatinga set screw 22 in a perforated ear 23 which is preferablyV made integral with this burner 8. The perforation in this ear has a sliding fit with the exterior of the pipe 4 and the set screw 22 is used vto iX the ear in any desired position on this tube. Obviously, by raising or lowering this tube it is possible to regulate the distance between the perforated plate 21 and the lower surface or' the casting 2 and thereby, to some extent, regulate the heating effect.

The use of the metal plate 2l over the screen serves an additional purpose in injury, the temperature incidental to its use and because of the protection it gives, the same is true of the gauze 20 which otherwise would be short lived. y

' ln view oi' the foregoing, it is obvious that when my improved burner is used, itcan be used "with any suitable hydrocarbon or other` fuel and the regulator 3 be placed so that the desired amount of the casting 2 is exposed to the heating amefand all tendency to overheat or prematurely cool is overcome and this is trueV even though 'the apparatus be used in a draft or under other adverse-conditions either `in or outxof doors.

Having thus described `niy invention, what I claim is:

ln a device of the `class described, a casting with parallel passages extending entirely across the device and a vertically disposed tube connected to one of said passages, a bent part with a check secured tol said vertically disposed tube, a Bunsen `burner mounted on said vertically disposed tube and above the level of said check, a-gauze mount- Y ed in Vsaid burner and above said check and a perforated plate mounted above said gauze.

Signed at the city, county and State of New York, this 18th day of September, 1918.
