INTEN$IFIER FOR 1BURIISlTBI-BSv Application filed October 23, 1923. Serial No. 670,312.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WLADYSLAW S. AN- DRYSIAK, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of Saint Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Intensifiers for Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to burners of the liquid or gaseous fuel type and relates more particularly to a means whereby the heat resultant from these burners may be intensified to a great degree and wherein the heat produced by the burners will be held for a considerable time after the flow of fuel has been cut off.

One of the main objects of this invention is to provide a device of the above character that may be easily and expeditiously associated with practically all types of burners and wherein by the provision of an intensifier constructed in accordance with the present invention, there will be little likelihood of any of the products of combustion escaping due to the fact that after the intensifier has become heated to a marked degree, any products of combustion that are unburned by the liquid or gaseous fuel burner will be fully ignited while passing through the intensifier.

A still further object of my invention is to provide an intensifier for application to liquid or gaseous fuel burners wherein the flame-from the burner will be prevented from spreading and consequently finding its way up alongside the pots, pans, kettles or other container being heated and eventually scorching or burning the handles of sai containers. the nature of this intensifier be.- ing such as to substantially centralize the heat produced by the burners.

The final one of the salient objects of this invention is the provision of an. intensifier which may be manufactured and marketed at small cost. and wherein there is little likelihood of the device becoming out of order and wherein should any disorders occur, the same may be easily repaired.

With the above general objects in view and others that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In the drawings wherein there is shown the most practical embodiment of the invention with which I am at the present time familiar, and wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout.

Figure l is a top plan view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention,

Figure 2 is a detail longitudinal section thereof,

Figure 3 is a side elevational view of a conventional type gas burner and its stand upon which is positioned the form of intensifier shown in Figures 1 and 2,

Figure 4. is a top plan view of a slightly modified form of the invention.

First having reference to Figures 1 and 2, wherein there is shown the most practical. embodiment of my invention, my improved heat intensifier for liquid or gaseous fuel burners comprises a circular rim 5 of desired circumference and width, which rim is of a suitable heat retaining meta]. Formed upon the inner face of this rim 5 are inwardly extending spaced radial ribs 6 formed throughout their lengths with spaced registering openings 7 through which extend copper wire coils 8.

In use, the intensifier thus provided is adapted to be placed upon the usual stand 9 of a liquid or gaseous fuel burner 10, Figure 3, it being obvious that the flames extending upwardly from this burner will effectively heat the frame of the intensifier comprising the rim 5 and rib 6 as well as the coils 8 which will result in the intensify ing of the heat produced from the burner 10 and which will consequently prevent any d of the products of combustion from escaping, due to the fact that any of these prod ucts of combustion that would otherwise pass upwardly will be fully burned before passing through the intensifier. It will also be seen that the flames from the burner 10 will be prevented from shooting upwardly to any marked degree and consequently spreading around the side walls of pots, pans, kettles, etc, that are set upon the intensifier. It will also be obvious that after the burner has been completely turned off the heat will be maintained within the intensifier for a considerable length of time.

In Figure 4: wherein there is shown a slightly modified form of the invention which modification is adapted for use in conjunction with burner stands of angular configuration, the same including a frame that consists of an angular shaped rim 5 formed with inwardly extending radial ribs 6 that are also formed With a plurality of registering openings through which are engaged the 5 Wire coils 8. I

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A flame spreader and intensifier compris- 10 ing a frame having an open center, said frame being provided with spaced ribs leading into the opening from the sides of the frame, said ribs being integral With the frame, and coiled springs disposed Within the frame and located under the ribs, the convolutions of the coils of the springs being disposed approximately parallel with the longitudinal dimensions of the ribs.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

VVLADYSLAW S. ANDRYS'IAK.
