T 0 all whom t may Concern;

Be 'it known that li, lVILLiAM ONM', citizen of jche United Suites, 'residing si; Houston, in he county of 'Harris :uid State of Texas, have invened certain new and useful lmprovements iii en @il und Gras Burner, of which the following is e speeilieiiziou. i

This invention relaes to new end useful improvements in an oil and. ges burner.

Une objeeiI or the invention is to provide -w burner of the character described which is seeeially adapted for the purpose ol" utilizing oil or was es u fueljmd which he readily adyisted for the use/oi1 one or ihe other of seid 'fuels es desired.

Another object oi the iiiveiiioii to pro vide u burner which while ui'iliziiig oil s. fuel is also edspred he Consume die which Collects in ilhe Yfuel tu'ol sind which would otherwise he Wasted.

A furher feuiure of ihe invention resides in 4ehe provision of :in ugizitor .ieviug SPL ruled Janes end roi-utah?? me uted Within the nozzle whereby period; mixture of fuel and uir is ohieii er A. still furiher feature o'' the inveniou resides in the provision or" e means for iutroducing auxiliary air end mixing the same with the fuel. l-

A still further feature of the imfeuion resides in the provision of e means for readily cleaning out the burner Wih-out the iieees sity of leaking the same speri. i

Witl the above and oher obiec'cs in TView, the inw 1" 1 has particular relation 'to certain novel feeiures of construction, operetion and errimgemeol oi parte, au exemple of which is giron ru ilus speeilieiiou end illustraed in the accompanying drawings,

whereiny I Figure 1 is e' lougiiudiuss, sections] view, Fig-ure 2 shows e side View oi' the nozzle tip with the' egiiator mouille-.d thereon, y Figure 3 shows u irzmsverse, section-ul View, teken ou the line .2l-3 of Figure 1,

Referring new more particularly to the dmjwiiigs, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parte in each of the figures, the numeral 1 refers to larstetionary ltepel"- ing shell, Whose large end is formed With the surrounding annuler flange 2 and fitted through this shell vthere is e. burner easing 3, one end of which is formed into the iiedueed ueeli i and the other end 5 of which extends beyond the shell, This casing has u. central passageway through which the fuehpipe eX- ends :md et one end 'this pipe is s irounded with Y neel: 4, while ai. the .other end the passage Weg; is enlarged, forming un internal steam chamber 8, which surrounds the pipe 6. Threaded on eo the end 5 of the casing there is s. tubular nozzle casing" 9 having the passage-wey 10 end the mixing chamber 11, and ellis nozzle easing is provided with u. discharge `nozzle 12 of any desired form. llliihiu' the chamber 1 1 there is a. nozzle tip 13. This tip may be of dil'erent forms, some of which ure shown in Figures l, 2, 8 und 9 und the form of the nozzle 12 should he varied to conform to the formof tipi employed. This tipis sereived on' to the inner end of the 'l'uel' pipe 6 und has au enlarged seetiou 14 provided with peripherul spirulled grooves 15 and is also provided with the radiating discharge ports through which the fuel delivered through the pipe 6 is disehurged ini'o the [msszigewuy 10. llotutal'ily mounted upon the ip 13 there is uu agitator 1 .7 'formed wille. rndiziiirig' spirzilled venes 15% eud'hehind this agitator there are the auxiliary air inlets 19 through which uirmuy he admitted iuvto the mixing chamber of the nozzle casing. 'l he shell 1 is provided with `two steam inlets 20, 2O and with two Jruel inlets 21. 21. These inlets are shown oppositely disposed. in Figure 1, for the suke of heier illuetreiou'. But in actual preotice Jhe steam inlets also the 'fuel inlets will oe arranged about 120 degrees apart. One of the fuel inlets is provided for the-admission of oil as e fuel und the other is provided igor the admission of gas as a fuel..v The u smiling box 7 contained vi'lshin the l port 23.
