WILLIAM R. WINSELL, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR '10 'H'EAT-KING 01L BURNER COMPANY, IN'Q, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION OF HIS- BOURL on. BURNER.

Application filed June 5, 1925. Serial No. 35,090.

This invention relates to oil burners and the primary object thereof is to provide a simp sure a perfect intermixing of the air or oxygen content with the hydrocarbon content of the fuel mixture, to thereby provide,

as nearly as practical, perfect combustion of the fuel so as to elminate liability of soot, smoke and carbonaceous deposits on and about the burner.-

Another object of the invention is to provide a fire bowl or nozzle from which the flame or products of combustion will flare out-and over a side zone so as to provide the 1 maximum heating effect and thereby quickly raise the temperature of the surrounding air.

It is also the purpose of my invention to provide means whereby the amount of fuel elivered to the burner may be regulated and to this end I have provided means for controlling the flow of the hydrocarbon content of the fuel mixture and means for controlling the flow of air which contains the necessary oxygen to support combustion. 25.

tion by providing a removable oil cup or receptacle hung from the top of the tubular member'and removably secured therein, the cup being so located that oil may be flowed into itacross the axis of the tubular member. The oil cup has an upstanding strip connecting the cup to a spider-like head with a central opening in it to receive the pipe which supplies the liquid to the tubular member. The cup can be easily removed for inspection or repairs.

The burner per se really consists of but three parts, the tubular member with the broard flat flame bowl, the rotatable damper,

and the cup, so it will be apparent that the cost of manufacturing the assembly will be comparatively slight. a I

The novel details of construction of the invention will be clearlyunderstood by reference to the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Structurally I have improved. the inven Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a burner constructed in accordance with my invention. e form of oil burner which will 1n- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the oil cup.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal, sectional view through the burner, and

Fig. 4 is a plan view.

The main shell or casing 1 is tubular and is open at both ends. At oneend, is a broad flat shallow flame bowl 2 with an upwardly curved bottom 3 to provide easy stream lines for the combusted fuel. At the otherend of the tube is an upstanding bracket portion 4., also integral with the tube and to it is pivoted the damper 5, secured to the bracket 4 by a stove bolt 6. The damper has openings 7 which may coincide with the opening at the end of the tube l above the bracket 4. When the damper is thrown around in one direction, the opening 7 will coincide with the bracket 4: so that the damper will be closed. When it is moved in an opposite direction,'the openings 7 may more or less overlap the edge of the bracket 4 and according to, the extent that they do overlap, will determine the effective port area through which air may pass.

In the top of the tube 1 is an opening 8 to .receive a spider 9 having a depending strip 10 which carries a cup 11 having serrate outer edges, as at 12. The spider has a central hole 13 to receive the end 14 of a supply pipe 15, connected .to a source of supply and provided with a valve 16 so that the effective controlled.

' The burner will first be primed by opening the valve 16and -allowing oil to flow into the cup 11 and if necessary, over the serrated edge 12. Then it will be ignited and after the burner becomes hot, the mil will immediately vaporize and continue to be vaporized as long as the burner is inoperation. The broad flat shallow' bowl with"; the curved bottom will deliver the flame over a wide expanse so that the surrounding air' may be quickly and efiiciently'heated; The amount of fuel used may be governed, of

port area of the pipe 15 can be course, by damper 5 controlling the valve-16 and the because one will bear a definite relation with respect to the other.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let- 5 ters-Patent is:

An oil burner comprising a tubular member having an air intake at one end and a vapor outlet at the other, the tubular member being provided w ith an opening in its upper wall, a spider receivable in the opening having a depending strip, a cup carried by the strip sus ended above the bottom of the tubular mem er, and a pipefor disoharg ing through an opening in the spider into the cup.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.-

WILLIAM R. .WIN-SELL.
