OIL GAS BURNER.

Application filed March 25, 1925. Serial No. 18,118.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, ULYSSES S. lVnDnING- TON, a citizen of the United States, residin at, Childress, in the county of Ghildressand State. of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in an Oil Gas Burner, of which the following is a specification. e

This invention relates to an improved fuel oil burner, which may be more specifically classified as an oil gas burner.

My principal aim is to improve upon the burner disclosed in Patent No. 1,524,604, granted to me on January 27, 1925.

The present improvement embodies a strikingly similar structure, the main difference being the improved design of fuel oil supply pipe used. In the present instance the pipe extends up through the base and into the heated air discharge of said duct, and is formed into an arch, the free end being directed upwardly through the oil cup of the base and terminating in close spaced relation beneath the breaker plate, which in this instance, is carried by the arch. Hence, the arch serves a dual purpose. That is, it serves first to heat the incoming oil before it is discharged, and owing to itspartieular shape constitutes a support for the breaker plate.

The relation of elements bringing about this improved result will be quite clear upon reading the following description in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

The single figure represents a central vertical longitudinal section through an improved burner constructed in accordance with this invention, certain of the details being shown in elevation, for clearness.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the reference character 1 designates a hollow supporting base which may be of any appropriate configuration in top plan. At its opposite ends this base is pro vided with upwardly extending discharge necks 2 for passage of the upwardly flowing air. At its center, the base is provided with an annular depression 3 forming a trough 4: for excessive overflow of fuel. Th central raised portion 5 is provided with a small depression forming an oil cup 6 and a pair of annular channels 7 which surround the cup in stepped relation. It will be noted that the bottom of the cup 6 is formed with arch.

an opening at its center for apurpose to be herein after described.

As before indicated, an air duct or manifold 8 overliesthe base, this duct having down turned ends 9 telescopically receiving the reduced air discharge necks 2. At its center, the duct is provided with a relatively large air discharge opening which'is disposed directly over the oil cup 6. The details of construction so far. set forth in the detailed descriptionare substantially identical with those appearing in the aforesaid patent.

. The distinction of the present device resides in the provision of the especially constructed oil supply pipe '11. It will be noted that this pipe, which extends from any suitable source of supply, extends upwardly through the portion 5 of the base on one side of the oil cup 6. At 12 it is directed horizontally to extend cross wise of the air discharge opening 10. This horizontal portion 12 terminates in spaced relation from the surrounding wall forming the air discharge opening. Thepipe 11 extends downwardly as at 13 and is directed angularly as at 14 and finally upward again as at 15 forming a discharge nozzle. The last named upwardly directed portion extends through the aforesaid opening leading into the oil cup 6 as shown. By sobending the pipe, an

arch is formed and this is located in the air discharge opening. Advantage is taken of this arrangement by mounting the breaker disk or plate 16 on the crown portion of the Hence, as in the patent, a more or less restricted annular air space is provided around the periphery of the disc and between the Wall of the discharge opening 6 to retard the discharge of the heated air. Obviously, too, the fuel under pressure discharging through the nozzle 15 is literally sprayed against the under side of the breaker plate and then spread to cause an intermingling with the downwardly flowing heated air.

In this way a highly combustible gaseous mixture is provided.

It is clearthat in a burner of this type that the priming liquid is placed in the cup whenythe burner is initially started, any surplus liquid overflowing into the trough d. In this way the oil will be heated and partially vaporized and so will the air pass ing through the duct.

It is thought that the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing will enable persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates to obtain a clear understanding of the same. Therefore, a more lengthy description is thought unnecessary.

Although the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, it is to be understood that minor changes coming Within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. An oil gas burner comprising a base provided with air discharge openings and provided at its center with an oil receiving cup, an air supply and heatingduct disposed over said base and having downturned ends connected with said discharge openings, said duct being formed with an air discharge opening located over said cup, a breaker plate disposed in said discharge opening and having its periphery spaced therefrom to provide an annular passage for discharging air, and a fuel feed pipe extending upwardly through said base, cross wise of said dis charge opening and downwardly, and having its extremity extending upwardly through and into said cup to provide a discharge nozzle, said discharge nozzle being located beneath said plate, and said plate being carried by a portion of said pipe.

2. In a burner of the class described, a base having an oil receiving cup and a pair of discharge openings, a duct connected at its ends to said openings, said duct having an air discharge opening located over said cup, and a fuel supply pipe including an arch located in said air discharge opening, and a nozzle extending into said cup, and a breaker plate carried by the crown portion of said arch.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ULYSSES S. VEDDINGTON.
