Referring more particularly to the drawings, 11 designates a short body portion,

' preferably cylindrical in form, having at.

its'forward'end an externally threaded portion 12 of somewhat less'diaineter, which vin t-urnvcarries atv its forward end a portionl 130i stillfurther reduced diameter where by shoulders 14 and 15 are formed. The Vfreeend of the part v13 is tapered at 16 very nearly to a point, The three parts 11, 12 and 13 are co-axiallyarranged and provided with a cylindrical bore 17 connnon to all three parts, which extends troni the back end oi'. the part 11 to approximately the coinnienceinent'of the taper 16 and is thereafter sharply tapered to a .very small bore 1,8,`

which extends through the end of the part 13. A lateral passage 19 internally threadmunicates With the bore 17, and the rear end of the bore is closed bya screw plug 2O or other suitable devicewhich maybe4 removed ed for the connection'ot` a supply pipe com-1' uponI occasion i forthe purpose-joill cleaning-f leads preferably at anangle 'toi the axisot thefbur'nerinto therear Yend offthefbo're 21.

Thev two parts of the burnerl are assembled, as shown in thejdrawings,` and a motive fluidsupply pipe connected to the inlet 19 and the fuelsupply pipe connected to ,the inlet 22. In certain installationsit is preferable to arrangevthe burner Vwith a downward inclinatio'nland it is for this purpose that the-'fuel inlet 22 is arranged at the vburner is tobe'mounted V4and according'.

to other vrequireineinzs of the installation.

l/There' the burner is to be downwardly in- Van angle tothe axis ofthe burner, as shown,

clined as alreadystated, it, sc'onvenient to arrange the fuel inlet 22 at the top or bottom, so that a vertically arranged pipe may support the'burner at the desired anglervof inclination. f Y Y The operation of tlie'burneris extremely simple. Motive fluid, such as compressed air or steam is admitted tothe/passage 17 j and escapes throughvthe reduced outlet 18 atrveiv high velocity. VThe rush of the fluid Vthrough the small endA of the tapered bore 25 produces a suction in the annular pas-v sager26, which serves to draw fuel through the passages 21 and 22 and through a sup-` ply pipe from any suitable source. The 'natural cone of dispersal of the motive fluid substantially fills the reduced end` of theV bore 25, so that fuel drawn VthroughV the aiinulai' passage 26Vis finely divided oratonilizedand Avery* intimately mingled with the v`inotiveffluid. f

Havin' thus describedin 77Vinvention what T y .u d i a i claim is 1. A fluid fuel burner comprising aibody shouldered to forni a rear part, a smaller externally threaded intermediate VpartY and a stillsmaller front part,v tapering at its for#V Ward end', a motive liuid passageV extending axially through all Vthree body part-s and reduced in diameter'atits forvvardend, a fuel passage parallel with the first passage opening through therrfront shoulder of the body, an internally shouldered cap `taper bored in front of its shoulder and screwed in rear Vof its shoulder on the intermediate partof the body, the cap shoulder and front body shoulder being spaced and formingan annular channel into Which the fuel passage lopens and the bore of the cap beingslightly larger than the front-part of the body, there- Vpassage for egress of fuel.

ybore .of the cap being flared beyond the end of the body and at substantially the same angleas the taper, 'and' radial .inlet passages for the motive fluid and .fuel passages arranged approximately90O apart, the fuel inlet passage being' additionally inclinedtolwird the front of the burner. y

ln Witness whereof, I have hereuntoset my hand. i
