JAMES WILLIAM HAMILTON, OF WICI-IITA, KANSAS.

OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug; 31 1920 Application fi1ed December 10, 1918. Serial No. 266,158.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Janus WILLIAM HAMILTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the follmving is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in that class of oil burners known as oil-gas burners. The object of my invention is to provide an oil-gas burner adapted for use in :lurnaces, and in which there shall be means for directing the flames at various angles in order to impersonate the effects of the draft upon said flames; and another object is to provide means whereby the heat may be equally applied to the generator pipes of the burner. Both of said objects are obtained by the construction illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings in which Figure 1 is a vertical section of a boiler fire box in which my improved burner is installed, the burner bars shown in side ele vation. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the burner. F 3 is a transverse section of the burner, viewed on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4lis a detail view of portions of two adjacent stationary burner-tubes and the rotatably adjustable burner tubes thereon. Fig. 5 is a cross section taken 011 line 55 of Fig. 4 looking in opposite direction to the arrows.

In Fig. 1, A is a tank for the fuel oil; B, the feed pipe; 0, is a hand valve in said pipe; Q, is the firebox.

The burner as shown comprises a continuous tube composed of lengths of piping.

connected by elbow couplings. The inlet tube C rises vertically from pipe B andconnects with a horizontal tube as shown in Fig. 2,'this tube being a part of a fiat coil of tubes all lying in one plane, as shown in Fig, 3.

The terminal tube I of this coil is connected to a short downwardly extended tube which is connected to the first stationary burner tube G. There are four of these burner tubes and they areconnected in series by elbow couplings 2, (Fig. 4-). These tubes are located directly below the intermediate generator tubes H, I. The end of the last tube G is closed.

Each stationary burner tube G is provided with a series of transversely elongated apertures g, in the upper side thereof. Mounted loosely on each tube G is an outer tube K, having at each end thereof ahexagonal head L, adapted to be engaged by a wrench.

In each tube K is a series of round perforations g which register with the slots 9 in the inclosed tube G. As the gas must issue from the perforations to be consumed it is evident that the flames may be directed either straight up or at various angles laterally, according to the position to which the rotatably movable tube K is turned.

here stationary perforated burner tubes alone are used, the draft of air through the burner toward the stack causes changes in the direction and size of the flames and thereby causes variable heating of the gen erating coil. By the intelligent manipulation of the adjustable tubes in this burner the fault just mentioned may be largely eliminated.

This burner may be supported in the firebOX in any suitable manner. In Fig. 1 it is shown as resting upon a grate.

It should be noted that the tubes K are not longitudinally movable, their only movement being rotary.

Having described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

In an oil-gas burner, a coil comprising a series of straight stationary tubes, elbows connecting said tubes, outer tubes rotatably mounted upon said stationary tubes, the lat ter each having a series of transversely elon gated apertures therein, and said outer tubes each having a series of round perforations registering with the respective apertures of the stationary tubes.
