EDWIN B. PIPPINGEB, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

OIL-GAS BURNER.

Application filed October 8, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN B. PirriNsnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri; have invented. new and useful improvements in Oil-Gas Burners, of which the following is specification.

This invention relates to gas heaters and liquid fuel burners and has for its object the provision of a novel device by means of which oil, such as kerosene or the like may be gasified. and burnt for producing heat without smoke and without a carbon deposit.

An important and more specific object is the provision of a burner of this character which includes a drum or cylinder into which the liquid fuel is fed, a priming pan being provided beneath the cylinder or drum for initially heating the latter so to convert the oil into gas when the oil is fed into the drum or cylinder" a plurality of burners being disposed in parallel relation to the drum or cylinder and having jets certain of which direct the flame against the cylinder for maintaining the same highly heated for insuring volatilization.

Still another object is the provision of a device of this character in which the drum or cylinder has one end provided with a detachable spider like member with which are associated a plurality of lines, it being possible to use certain of the gas lines under some conditions and more or all of them under other conditions depending upon. the degree of heat desired and depending upon the propose for which the device is to be used.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be simple a ud inexpensive in manufacture, easy to use. highly eliicient in use. durable in service and a general improven'ient in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure l is a plan view of a separate form of my device.

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is an end view.

Figure 4 is a cross sectional View.

Serial No. 506,456.

Figure 5 is an end view showing a modified form and Figure 6 is a cross sectional view therethrough.

lleferring more particularly to the draw ings I have shown my device as comprising two end castings 10 which are connected by longitudinally extending rods 11 and each of which. includes spaced legs 12 connected by a transverse rod 18. Resting upon the two transverse rods 13 is a priming pan 1-1 of suitable size and shape within which is located a pad 15 of asbestos or the like which is designed to be saturated with gasoline or other highly combustible fuel, this fuel being ignited for a purpose to be described. Each casting 10 has its upper edge formed concaved as indicated to define a saddle l6 and resting within the two saddle members is an elongated cylinder or drum 17 into one end of which leads a pipe 18 connected with a suitable reservoir tank 19 this pipe being provided with a control valve 20.

The other end of this cylinder or drum is closed by a cap 21 from the center of which extends a threaded nipple 522. In the simpliest form of my device as shown in Figures 1 to 4t inclusive. 1 show a pipe 23 which is screwed intermediate its ends upon this nipple 22 and which has its ends carrying elbows 24 into which are screwed gas line pipes 25 which are disposed at opposite sides of the cylinder or drum in spaced parallel relation thereto and which have their free ends closed by caps 26 and which are provided throughout their length with perforations or holes 27 certain of which face toward the cylinder and other of which face in the op posite direction.

In the operation of the device it will be seen that initially the pad 15 is saturated with a very inflammable material such as gasoline which is subsequently ignited, and the valve is open to permit fuel to pass, from the tank 19 into the cylinder 15. As the fuel in the pad 15 burns the cylinder will of course become highly heated and the fuel entering through the pipe 18 will be gasified and will pass out through the nipple 22 into the pipe 23 and the gas line pipe from which the gasified fuel will issue through the holes 27 where it may be ignited. The holes facing toward the cylinder or drum will prosame in heated condition after the fuel on the pad 15 has been all consumed, The other jets of course provide flame for other purposes, whether for heating or forany other desired purpose,

In order that the device may be adapted for use where a much greater degree of heat is desired, and for instance when the device is intended to be built upon a large scale, I may make use of the structure shown in Figures 5 and 6.

In Figures 5 and 6 I have replaced the transverse pipes 23 with a spider like or disc like casting 28 which has its central portion formed hollow as shown at 29, the center of this hollow portion bein formed with a threaded hole screwed upon the nipple 22. Leading from the hollow portion 29 of this casting is a plurality of radially arranged pipes 30 the free ends of which are connected with gas conducting pipes 31 which extend along the sides of the cylinder or drum 17. These pipes 31 are of course provided with suitable perforations or holes 32 which operate in exactly the same manner as the holes 27 in the pipes 25 of the previously described form. The only difference between this form and the first described form is that the cylinder is practically surrounded by the gas conducting pipes 31 all of which are parallel with one another and parallel with the cylinder.

From the foregoing description and a study of the drawings it will be apparent that I have thus provided a simply constructed and consequently inexpensive device by means of which liquid fuel such as oil of various kinds may be gasified and thus placed under more or less pressure and subsequently distributed to a plurality of burners which are so arranged and formed as to provide jets of flame which will play against the vaporizing drum or cylinder for the purpose of maintaining the latter in a hotter condition for proper volatilization or vaporization of the liquid fuel. It will also be apparent that the device is adapted for use in its simple form and also that it is adapted to have the attachment associated therewith whereby it may be elaborated and have its heating ability increased to a great extent for use not only in the homes but also in factories, large buildings, locomotives and other places where intense heat is desired. It will be also observed that owing to 1 ,es nscs the construction there will be the evolution of an unusual degree of heat without the presence of noxious gases, or without the formation of carbon deposits.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described the invention I claim:

l. A device of the character described comprising a support including spaced end members formed at their upper edges with saddles, a primingpan carried by said end members and containing absorbent material designed to be saturated with an inflammable liquid, an elongated cylindrical drum leaning upon said saddle members, a valve control fuel inlet pipe leading into one end of said drum, a nipple at the other end of said drum, a horizontally extending distributing pipe havin threaded connection with said nipple and having its ends carrying elbows, and caps and gas conducting pipes carried by said elbows and extending in spaced parallel relation to said drums and provided throughout their lengths with a plurality of perforations providing jets.

2. A device of the character described comprising a support including end members arranged in spaced relation and formed with saddles, each end member including a pair of spaced legs, a rod connecting the legs of each end member, an elongated priming pan leaning upon said rods, and containing a pad of absorbent material designed to be saturated with an inflammable liquid, an elongated cylindrical drum leaning upon said saddle members above said pan, a valve control fuel inlet pipe leading into one end of said drum, an outlet nipple at the other end of said drum, a hollow distributing member screwed upon said nipple, a plurality of radially extending pipes leading from said hollow distributing member and carrying elbows, and gas conducting pipes carriedby said elbows and extending in spaced parallel relation to said drum and arranged peripherally thereabout, the free ends of said last named pipes being capped and said last named pipes being provided throughout their lengths with holes certain of which face toward the cylinder or drum.
