HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Appliation filed May 21, 1919. Serial N0. 298,610.

To all whom t may conceive Be it known that I, VICTOR H. SLINACK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Hydrocarbon- Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon burners adapted to incandesce mantles by the vaporization and combustion of oil, such as gasolene.

The principal objects of the present invention are, first, to make the burner operate satisfactorily and for a reasonable number of hours even with gasolene of the yquality now available, which is relatively poor, for this purpose, second, to avoid undue stoppage of the vapor jet orifice, and third, to provide for the application and removal of certain parts, which promote the accomplishment of the above objects without dismantling the burner.

The invention will be claimed at the Vend hereof, but will be first described in connection with the embodiment of it selected from other embodiments for the sake of illustration in the accompanying drawings forming part hereof and in which- Figure 1, is an elevational view, somewhat distorted for the sake of illustration, and partly in section, and

Fig. 2, is a sectional view taken generally at right angles to plane of Fig. 1.

In the drawings 1, is an upright body having near its top a sub-jet vaporizer 2, from which depends a vapor duct 3, and a mixing tube 4. The vaporizer is supplied with gasolene by way of the inlet 5. Beneath the mixing tube 4, there is an extension 6, including a portion of the vapor duct and containing a crosswise ranging horizontal open ended chamber 7 spaced from the duct 3, by a seat or flange 8. 9, is a jet orifice provided in a detachable fitting arranged through the wall of the chamber 7, and this orifice 9, is adapted to discharge into the open lower end of the mixing tube 4. 10, is a horizontally disposed foraminous cylinder, as of wire gauze, arranged in and spaced from the wall of the chamber 7, and from the inlet of the jet orifice 9, and the openend of this cylinder is supported in the seat 8. A screw plug 11, carries the other end of the cylinder 10, as by inserting it into a cavity provided in the plug, and the plug is arranged in the open end of the chamber 7. 12, is a shell inclosing the body and provided with an opening 13, through which the plug 1l, and cylinder can be applied and removed without detaching the shell from the body.

It will be noted that all the vapor ducts and ways are relatively large in cross sectional area which is conducive to the attainment of good results even with gasolene of poor quality. The position and arrangement of the wire gauze cylinder is such that all portions of its surface are available for straining the vapor which is delivered to its interior under pressure and must therefore escape through it at some points to the space at 7, and thence to and through the jet orifice 9. For the foregoing and other reasons the gauze cylinder will eiiiciently prevent carbon and like particles from reaching the jet orifice 9, and this it will continue to do for a relatively and sufliciently long time. Moreover when the holes in the gauze cylinder finally become stopped or clogged, it can be readily removed by unscrewing the plug 11, and inserting a new gauze cylinder without disturbing the mantle, chimney or other parts. The seating of the open end of the cylinder on the seat 8, insures the entrance of vapor or gas from the duct 3, into its interior, and Aalso provides the annular space 7, all around the cylinder and this annular space makes all portions of the cylinder effective and operative, thus prolonging its useful life and insuring continued operation of the burner.

I claim:

1. A hydrocarbon burner comprising the combination of an upright body having near its top a vaporizer from which depends a vapor duct and a mixing tube and provided beneath the mixing tube with an extension including a portion of the vapor duct and a communicating crosswise ranging open ended chamber spaced therefrom by a seat, a iet orifice provided inthe chamber for discharge into the mixing tube.A a horizontally disposed foraminous cylinder arranged in and spaced from the wall of the chamber and having its open end supported in said seat, a screw plug carrying the other end of the cylinder and arranged in the open end of the chamber, and a shell inclosing the body and provided With an opening Vthrough which ther plug and cylinder are horizontally arranged foraminous cylinder spaced from the Wall of the chamber and having its open end supported 1n said seat, and a screw plug arranged in the open end 'i of the chamber and supporting the other end of Athe cylinder, substantially as described.

3. In a hydrocarbon burner the combination of an upright body having at its base a vapor chamber provided with a jet oriiice and With a vapor orgas inlet,.and a horizontally arranged Wire gauze cylinder communicating internally with the vapor or gas inlet and spaced from the Wall of the chamber and from the inlet of the orifice, substantially as described.

4. In a hydrocarbon burner the combination vof a body having a horizontal open ended chamber, means for introducing vapor or gas into said chamber, a detachable plug applied to the open end of the chamber and carrying a Wire gauze cylinder adapted for insertion and removal in respect to the chamber, and a shell inclosing the body and provided With an opening through which the plug and cylinder are insertible and removable.
