VACUM OIL IBUB'NE'IR.r

Application filed. October 24, 1924.

To all 10720121, it may concern.'

Be it known that I, VILLIAM R. GIBSON, a citizen of the United Stat-es, residing at Mansfield, in the parish of De Soto and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vacuum Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil burners, and has for its' principal object to provide. a means Vwhereby the atomizi-ng fluid provides a means for causing the flow of oil through an oil pipe.

A further object of the invention is to provide a vacuum oil burner of the above mentioned character, wherein the flow of oil to the oil pipe is dependent upon'the pressure of the atomizing fluid.

A still further object is to provide a vacuum oil burner of the above mentioned character wherein the oil feeding pipe is disposed within the atomizing fluid circulating pipe, whereby the oil feeding pipe will be heated by the atomizingV fluid passing around the oil feeding pipe.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a vacuum oil burner of the above mentioned character, which is simple in clonstruction, inexpensive, strong and durable, and further well adapted for the purposes for which it is designated. L

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals designate like parts throughout the saine:

The figure represents a view partly in section, and partly in side elevation, of the vacuum oil burner embodying my invention.

In the drawing, wherein' for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates an elongated pipe, which is of a relatively large diameter. The upper and lower ends thereof are externally threaded. A. head 2 is fitted on the upper end of the pipe 1 as illustrated at 3. The lateral tubular extension 4 is formed on the head 2, and provides an inlet for the atomizing fluid, which may be supplied to the head and pipe 1, by attaching a supply pipe to the outer end of the tubular extension 4. A similar head 5 is threaded on the lower end of the pipe 1, as illustrated at 6, and the head 5 is sion 7.

Serial No. 745,648.

also provided with a tubular lateral eXten- The tubular extension 7 forms an outlet for the atomizing fluid, which passes through the pipe 1 and the head 5, in the manner hereinafter to be more fullyv described. The outer end of the tubular eX- tension 7 is disposed downwardly, as illustrated at 8, and is internally threaded, for receiving the discharge pipe 9.V l

Extending centrally through the pipe 1, and the heads 2 and 5 respectively, is the relatively small oil feed pipe 10. An elbow 11 is threaded on the upper end of the oil feeding pipe 10, and rests on the annular shoulder or collar 12, formed on the upper head 2, and affords the connection with the oil supply pipe 13. A similar nipple 14 is threaded on the lower end of the oil feeding pipe 10, and is disposed adjacent the annular shoulder or collar 15 formed on the bottom of the head 5 A discharge nozzle 16 has its inner end threaded into the. nipple 14, for communication with the oil feed Vpipe 10, and the outer end of the discharge nozzle 16, which is reduced, as illustrated at 17 is disposed directly below the lower end of the discharge pipe 9, and is in communication therewith for the purposes to be presently described.

The atomizing fluid, used in conjunction with my improved oil burner may be either steam or air. The atomizing fluid will enter the head 2, through the inlet 4, and will circulate down through the pipe 1, around the oil feeding pipe 10, and will be discharged outwardly from the head 5, through the outlet 7 and the discharge pipe 9. The atomizing iiuid, upon being discharged from the pipe 9 will cause a vacuum or siphonic action, in the oil feeding pipe 10, whereby the Y oil will be delivered to the pipe 10, and fed downwardly therethrough, and discharged through the nozzle 16, and upon leaving the reduced outer end 17 of the nozzle, the oil and atomizing fluid will be ignited and will provide a flame at the end of the discharge nozzle.

If the pressure of the atomizing fluid is increased, the heat will be increased, and the fiance will not go out, when the pressure of the atomizing fluid is increased. When the steam is used as an atomizing fluid, the same, upon passing downwardly through the pipe 1 will, of course, come in contact with the oil feeding pipe 10, and thereby sup-erheat the oil as the same is fed through the pipe,

thereby further increasing the eilieiene;T of my iinproi/ed vacuum oil burner. It is also to be understood that the nozzle 16- inay` be readily disengaged .from the elbow lll onY the lower end of the oil feed pipe 10, in order to permit the attachment of any other suit-able nozzle.

Vhile I have shown the preferred embodiinent of my invention, it is to be understood that variouschangesl in the size, shape7 and arrangement ot' parts ina-y he resorted to, without C'l-eparting from the spirit of the 1nrention and the scope of the appended el aiin.

Having thus described iny invention, what is claimed is:

A ifaeuun'i oil burner eoinprisng a cylindrical easing, a head on the upper end thereof,' a tubular lateral extension associated with the head comprising an atoinizing 'luid inlet, an additional head on the lower end of the casing, a tubular extension associated with the last mentioned head and providing an outlet-:for the atomizing Huid, a discharge pipe in the outer end of the tubular extension providing an outlet, an oil pipe extending centrally through the easing and through said head, asupplT pipe associated with the upper end thereof, and an oil discharge nozzle on the lower end of the oil pipe, the outer end of the nozzle heing disposed in Communication with the outer end of the discharge pipe.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

VV'ILLIAM R. GIBSON.
