oIL BURNER.

Application filed December 20, 1923. Serial No. 681,686.

To all whom t may concern.'

Beit known that I, MATTHIAS H. REIMERS, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented oer-tain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners, of which `the following is a specification.

This invention is `an atomizing device for forming `a spray or mist of liquid fuel by causing two jets or streams of the liquid fuel to flow through a passage in opposite directions to the outlet orifice where the two streams meet under pressure and emerge to form the spray. i I

@ne of the main objects of my invention is to facilitate the cleaning of -all of the passages and the reassembling of the parts in the proper adjustment.

A further object is to so design the parts that the passages through which the liquid flows to the outlet orifice may be opened for cleaning, 0r the parts having said passage are replaced by substitute parts to produce a flame of different shape or size.

A further object is to provide a construction in which the liquid is delivered under pressure through the outlet orifice to form th-e mist or spray, or may be delivered through said orifice by the action of steam, compressed air, or other motive fluid, and without necessitating any change in the liquid delivery passage ororifice presenting member.`

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a burner constructed in accordance with my inv'en` tion'.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view.

Fig. 3 is a face view. j

Figs. A and 5 are sections on the lines 4-11 and 5--5 respectively of Fig. 1, and Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

My improved burner includes a head or body member 10 adapted to be connected in any suitable manner to a liquid fuel supply pipe 11. The head has a large central chamber within which is a surface presenting an annular groove which receives the liquid fuel at one point and delivers it through an outlet orifice at a diametrically opposite point. The fuel thus flows to 'the outlet orifice as twostreams or jets from the same source and in opposite directions, meeting ymeeting headon at a point directly `at the outlet orifice. The parts which form or present the said lannular groovel are so designed that when removed the groove is exposed throughout its entire length, and thus easily cleaned. In the specic construction illustrated there is provided an annular member or ring 124 which seats against a shoulder within the head, and has its outer cylindrical surface snugly fitting the peripheral wall of the chamber. The annular member 12 is held in place by a centrally disposed member or plug 13 which has a flange portion 14 seating against the face of th-e annular member 12, a plug portion 15 snugly fitting within the annular member 12, `and a stem portion 16 projecting beyond the opposite side of the head to receive the clamping nut 17. By removing this nuit the central member 13 and the annular member 12 may be removed from the head;

Two of the three members cooperate to formi an annular groove. As shown this groove 18 is formed on` the inner cylindrical face of the annular member 12, and the inner or open side of the groove is closed by the peripheral surface of the plug portion 15."

The head 1() and annular member 12 have registering passages 19 leading from the supply pipe 11 to the groove 18 to form an inlet or supply passage to the groove. At a point diametrically opposite to this passage 19 the annular member` is provided with an outlet orifice in the form of a slot 20 cut in the peripheral face and intersecting the groove. The head is so designed that this slot 2Ol opensl directly into the air and forms the outlet orifice from the groove 18.` As shown the headhas a Vshaped groove 21 in the face `thereof registering with the slot 20, and to permit the fuel to emerge from the slot 2O in the forml of a substantially flat. fan-shaped mist. The mist or spraying effect is produced by the two streams flowing along the groove 18 is opposite directions from the passage 19` and opposite `to the slot or outlet orifice 20.

It will be noted that by merely removing' the nut 17 the members 12 and`13 may be removed and a new member 12 inserted with a larger or smaller groove, and with the desired shape and size of slot 20 or other outletorice in accordance with the shape and character of the flame to be produced. The removal of these-partsexposes v the inner sideof the groove throughout its entire length, and permits it to be effectively cleaned vvvhen necessary.

'In''assembling the parts itis essential thaty `the annular member v12 be in a definite and predetermined position, particularly 'sofar as regards the slotl 2()y and the inlet passage 19. ny suitable registering means may be employed, that shown being a pin 222 entendtion VAis particularlyadaptedfor use offsteam,

compresse-d air, or atomizing fluidas fthe meansfor'formin-g the spray. Thisfmay be V acf joinplished .by 'providing the c entep lnember 131With an aXial pa ssage pr chamber 23 communicating at one'end of the member with asupi'plypifpe 24. HTheqfilug portion 15 dffthe'central member has a passage 25y le-ading radially fromfthe passage 23 .to the peripheryfat'a pointl directlyfopposite to :the outlet. orifice20. `Steam or compressed air kmay be delivered under high :pressure through the pipeQl, and or `other liquid *underlower .pressure through .the .pipe 11...;y The jetv ofA atomizing fluid ldelivered 'from 'the' passage 25 will spray the liquid .fuel out through the orifice 20;i IfY desired I. may deliver tljiezliquid v,fuel through the pirpef2and the atomizinefluidthrough the pipe 11, VIn'thisfcase-t e steamfor'other atomi'zing medium yvould-'be-under ga comization .be obtained. j
