GAS AND varota BURNER;

Application filed February 19, 1923. Serial No. 619,865

To all whom it may concern:

Burners, of which the following is aspeci-' fication.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in gas'and vaporburners for furnaces, steam boilers, stoves and the like, the object being to provide a burner which is extremely simple and cheap in construction, and of casein installing and removing when occasion requires a change of the fuel as from gas to coalor other fuel.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a burner which is capable of burning natural or artificial gas, oil vapor r or gas, the same being so constructed that it can be used in the ordinary coal burning stove or furnace, steam boiler and the like.

\Vith the above recited objects in view, and others of a similar nature, the invention resides in the construction, combinationand arrangement of parts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a burner constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical, transverse cross sectional view upon the broken line 22 of Figure 1 and,

Figure 3 is an elevational view of a modified form of burner head which may be employed in conjunction with this invention.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 5 designates the burner manifold, 6 the dome and 7 the burner heads. The manifold 5 is in the form of a single casting including a hollow hub portion 8 and rim 9 the said rim and hub portions communicating with each other through a desirable number of connecting pipes 10. In the casting of this manifold there is occasioned at spaced points .upon the outer wall of the rim 9 openings 11, the same being screw threaded for receiving screw threaded filler plugs 12, which carry projecting heads 13 which may be and preferably are of angular form. Communication is established between the hub portion 8 of the manifold and a souce of fuel supply through a pipe 1 1.

, The dome 6 is in the form of substantially said side "wall of the 'of the filler-plugs 12.

inverted pan-shaped member and is adapted for positioning over the manifold 5 as more clearlyshown in Figure 2, itbeingun'der stood that the diameter of the side wall'of this dome is relatively greater than the I similar dimension of the manifold 5 for the purpose of allowing a passage of air between the rim9 of the manifold and the dome. The Spanshapeddomefi is formed at itslower end with spaced notches 15, which notches receive the said angular projecting heads 13 The top wall of thedome 6 is formed with a plurality of spaced openings 16 adjacent the outer edge ofthe dome,these openings being surrounded by vertical nipples 17,

formed integral with the dome.

The burner heads 7 are of a relatively elongated nature as clearly shown in the two views, the top wall of these heads being formed with a plurality of gas outlet openings 18. Intermediate the ends of the heads the same are formed upon theirbottom walls with screw threaded openings 19 for receiving the upper externally threaded ends of pipe sections 20, it being understood that the opposite lower ends of these pipes loosely engage in the said vertical nipples of the dome 6. It is also to be noted that the top wall of the rim 9 of the manifold 5 is formed with gas outlet openings 21 directly beneath each of the openings 16in said dome 6.

Vlfhen my burner is arranged as per F igures 1 and 2 it will be apparent that when p the gas escapes from the outlets 21 of the manifold this gas will thoroughly mix with the air passing upwardly between the hub and rim portions of the manifold as well as between the side wall of the dome and the outer face of the rim 9, and further, when my burnerheads are arranged as in these two figures, the same will extend read,- ily from the center portion of the dome 6, the flame thereby extending upwardly.

In Figure 3 I have shown one of the burner heads 7 as being connected to its pipe 20 through the instrumentality of an elbow connection 22 the purpose of this be ing to permit the pipes 20 to be lnserted within the nipples 17 of the dome 6 for lieved that the advantages and operation of a burner of this type will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art and although I have herewith shown and described the preferred embodiments of this invention it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made in the invention with-- out departing from the spirit and scope thereof, as claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is p 1. In a burner of the class described, a manifold having a gas inlet pipe communicating therewith, a dome supported upon the said manifold in spaced relation thereto, burner heads carried by the dome and removable therefrom, the said manifold being formed with outlet openings and means upon said manifold for. supporting said dome' 2. In a burner of the class described, a manifold having communication with a source of fuel supply, a dome removably positioned upon said manifold, and burner heads removably carried by the dome, said manifold being formed with gas outlet openings beneath the burner heads of the dome. 3. In a burner of the class described, a manifold comprising a hollow hub and a rim portion communicating with each other through the instrumentality of pipe .sections, said rim being formed with gas outlet openings, and a dome removably supported upon the manifold, and burners carried by the dome and in communication with the outlet openings of said manifold. 4. In a burner of the class described, a manifold formed with openings in the side wall thereof as well as openingsin the top wall, a source of fuel supply to said manifold, plugs within the said openings in the side wall of the manifold and having integral projecting lugs formed thereon, a dome supported above the manifold and formed with notches for the reception of said plug lugs, and burners carried by the dome and directly above the said openings in the top Wall of the manifold.

Intestimony whereof I affix my signature.
