OIL BURNER.

Application filed August 23, 1923.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN H. Anniirs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stephens, in the county of Ouachita and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful 'Oil Burner, of which the following is a specification.

This invention aims to provide novel means whereby liquid fuel, such as oil may be heated preparatory to being burned, beneath a boiler or at any other place where combusition takes place, novel means being supplied for controlling the movement of the oil and for supplying pressure to the oil.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 shows in section, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, parts remaining in elevation; Figure 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

The device forming the subject matter of this application comprises a hollow body 1 including an outer wall 2 and heads 3 and 4, a tubular member 5 extending between the heads 3 and 4 and being located within the outer wall 2. A heating chamber 6 exists between the tubular member 5 and the outer wall 2 and a fuel tank 7 exists within the tubular member 5. A steam inlet pipe 8 communicates with the upper portion of the heating chamber 6 and is mounted in the outer wall 2. The numeral 9 marks a U-shaped steam outlet conduit, wherein a valve 10 is interposed, one end of the conduit 9 being mounted in the lower portion of the outer wall 2 and communicating with the heating chamber 6, the other end of the conduit extending beneath the body 1 and being connected to a casing 12, preferably in the form of a coupling, that end of the conduit 9 which is assembled with the casing 12 carrying a reduced nozzle 11 located Serial No. 658,997.

within the casing. A. discharge pipe 1 1 for the fuel is connected to the casing 12 and is located in axial alinement with the nozzle 11. A combined air inlet and fuel pipe 15 extends through the heads 3 and 4; and through the tank 7, the lower end of the pipe 15 communicating with the casing or coupling 12. Within the fuel tank, the pipe 15 is supplied with a lower opening 16 and with an upper opening 17. The fuel is delivered into the tank 7 through a pipe 18 mounted in the head 1 and communicating with a passage 19 in the head, the passage 19 discharging into the tank 7.

In practical operation, steam passes through the pipe 8 and enters the heating chamber 6, the steam leaving the heating chamber 6 through the conduit 9, under the goverance of the valve 10 the steam traversing the nozzle 11. The oil enters the pipe 18 and the passage 19 and moves into the tank 7, where the oil is heated. The oil enters the pipe 15 through the opening 16 and any gas which may have accumulated on top of the oil enters the pipe 15 through the opening 17. The steam proceeding through the nozzle 11, creates a suction in the pipe 15 and the air and fuel are drawn through the pipe 15 into the casing or coupling 11, the fuel proceeding through the discharge pipe 14, to the place of use.

The device is so constructed that the fuel will be heated, and the steam which is used for heating purposes is used, also, to advance the liquid fuel after the same has been heated.

What is claimed is:

1. In a device of the class described, a hollow body comprising a fuel tank and a heating chamber disposed thereabout, means for introducing steam 'into the heating chamber, means for introducing fuel into the fuel tank, a casing having an outlet, a conduit leading from the heating chamber to the casing, a nozzle communicating with the conduit and discharging into the casing, anda combined air and fuel pipe, open at one end, the pipe passing through the tank and communicating at its opposite end with the casing, the pipe having an opening establishing communication with the tank.

2. In a device of the class described, a body comprising a fuel tank and a heating chamber disposed thereabout the tank and the chamber having common edges, means for introducing steam into the heating chamber at one end of the heating chamber, means for introducing fuel into the fuel tank at the opposite end of the heating chamber, a casing located. at one end of the body and having an outlet, a U-shaped con duit leading from the heating chamber and communicating with the casing, a Valve under the control of an operator and interposed in the conduit, a nozzle communicat ing With the conduit and discharging into the casing, and a combined air and fuel pipe, open at one end, the pipe passing through the tank and communicating at its opposite end With the casing, the pipe having open-- 15 ings communicating with the tanln' the openings being spaced apart, longitudiinally of the pipe, and one opening being located closely adjacent to that one of the heads Which is remote from the nozzle.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
