CIRCULATING sAsmuaNna.

Applicationfiled November 3, 1324: Serial, No. 747,541.

To all'whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAY M. AXTELL and FREDERICK G. VON Hormv, citizens of the United States, residing at Fort \Vorth, in the county of Tarrant and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Circulating Gas Burners, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to gas burners and more particularly to circulating gas burners; and the object is to provide gas burners which are provided with a plurality of jets and to provide means for obtaining uniform pressure for all of the jets and to provide means for causing a circulation of the gas to obtain such pressure. The object is to provide gas burners for general heating purposes. Other objects and advantages will be fully explained in the following description and the invention will be more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Reference is had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application.

Fig. 1 is a plan view'of the burner with parts thereof shown in section. Fig. 2 is a transverse section, taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the burner. Fig. 4 is a plan. view of a burner without arches and without a pilot burner.

Similar characters of reference are used to indicate the same parts throughout the several views.

The improved burner is provided with a receiving nozzle 1 and side members 2 and 3 and a circulating member 4. A plurality of arches 5 are tapped into the members 2 and 3 and these arches are provided with discharge burner nozzles or apertures 6. The arches 5 are adjusted on the members 2 and 3 by unions 7 which engage the arches 5 and are screwed into the plugs 8. v

The gas is made to circulate by means of the member 4. The gas follows the direction of the arrow heads. Gas enters the nozzle 1 and strikes a divider or battle 9 which directs the gas to the members 2 and 3. The gas passes through these members and feeds the burner arches 5 and passes on to the opposite ends of the members 2 and 3. The passing gas willstrike another baflie 10 and be directed thereby to the circulating member 4. The gas will pass on and strike the baflies 11 and 12 and be directed back through the members 2 and 3. The gas which is passing to. the members .2 and. 3 from the nozzle 1 will tend to create suction which will draw'the gas from member 4 past the battle plates 11 and 12. In this manner the pressure is maintained uniform throughout the feed pipes 2 and 3.

Provision is made for a pilot burner. A pipe 13 is extended along the pipe 4 and then up and provided with a burner nozzle 14. Gas is supplied for the pilot burner and this burner will cause the gas to ignite in all the other burners. Two of the arches 5 are shown in section in Fig. 1.

The burner illustrated in Fig. 4 is not provided with arches 5, but it has burner nozzles 6 directly in the pipes 2 and 3. Various other changes in the sizes, proportions, construction and arrangement of the several parts may be. made without departing from our invention.

The form of burner shown in Fig. 4 may be inverted for broiling and other purposes.

What we claim, is, A p 1. A gas burner comprising gas feed members, burner arches-connected to said feed members, a circulating member communicating at both ends with said feed members, means at the receiving ends of said gas feed members for directing gas into said members, means at the discharge end of said feed members for directing gas into said circulating member, and means at the discharge end of said circulating member for dividing the gas and directing the same into said feed members. I 2. A gas burner comprising gas feed members and a circulating member communicating with said feed members: at both ends, burner nozzles operatively connected to said feed members,,means for supplying gas to said feed members, means for dividing the 7 gas to said burner, and burner arches connected to said feed members from one feed member to the other.

l. A gas burner comprising gas feed members and a circulating member communicating with said feed members at both ends, means for directing gas from the supply source through said feed members and for causing gas to pass from said feed members 10 to said circulating member, means for causing gas to pass from .said circulating member to said feed members, burner nozzles operatively connected to said feed members, and a pilot burner operatively connected to said burner.

In testimony whereof We set our hands this 27th day of October, 1924.

JAY M. AXTELL. FRED. G. VON HOFEN.
