' HYDE/O CARBON BURNER.

Application filed October 31; 1924; Serial No. 746,971. Itenewcil' Novenibcr 8, 1926.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a hydrocarbon burner.

One object of the invention is to provide a burner specially designed for use in stoves, whereby a liquid fuel such as kerosene and other liquid hydrocarbon may be utilized a fuel.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner whereby the flame will be distributed throughout the combustion cham-- her.

A further feature of the invention resides in a hydrocarbon burner having an improved type of discharge nozzle.

With the above and other objects in view. the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, opera tion and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 shows an end view of the complete burner as mounted in the cook stove.

Figure 2 shows an end view of the discharge nozzle.

Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

Figure 4 shows a fragmentary sectional view of a flame distributor taken on the line 4-t of Figure 6.

Figure 5 shows a side view of the burner partly in section, taken on the line 5-5 of I Figure 6, and

Figure 6 shows a fragmentary plan view thereof partly in section.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of refer ence designate similar parts in each of the figures. the numeral 1 designates the cook stove as a whole, showing the burner mounted in the fire box thereof. The numeral 2 designates the generating chamber which in the present instance is shown as a relatively short pipe section having the end caps 8, 3, threaded thereon. This generating chamber preferably filled with asbestos 4E wrapped before insertion with foraminated material such as screen wire. A relatively wide pan 5 is located in the combustion chamber, whose sides 6, 6, only are extended upwardly and the ends of the chamber 2 are fitted through one of the caps 3. and is equipped controlled. Leading out from the other end cap there is a vapor line 9 which has the branches 10 and 11. The branch 10 is curved downwardly and terminates in a discharge nozzle 12, which is directed toward, but spaced from the generating chamher 2. The other branch line 11 is parallel with the sides 6 and its end is turned. and terminates in the discharge nozzle 13 which projects through the rear wall 6. The burner nozzles are constructed as shown in Figures 2 and 3, and consist of a hollow plug having a small discharge opening as 14:. These nozzles are screwed into the respective elbows forming the ends of the lines 10 and 11, respectively, as shown. The fuel enters the generator through the line 7, and eventually finds its way to the nozzle 12, where it may be ignited. The flame is directed toward the generating chamber and soon heats the same, converting the fuel therein into vapor whichissues out through the burner nozzles 12 and 13. and when ignited provides flames which are projected continuously against the generating chamber and through'th-e nozzle 13, respectively. The fuel being in the form of vapor is practically all consumed and the burner thus creates very little smoke and soot, resulting in substantially a complete combustion of the fuel.

If desired a flame distributor may be employed. This distributor consists of av tube 15 which is fitted around the nozzle 13, at one end, and whose other end may be formed into branches 16, 16 which lie upon the transverse partition 17 of stove 1, for support. The rear ends of the branches 16 are open and have the upwardly curved deflectors l8, 18. The upper sides of the branches have the perforations 19 which are provided with the forwardly declining aprons 20 forming flame deflectors. The deflectors 18 and 20 serve to deflect the flames upwardly and the distributor, as a whole, serves to distribute the flame issuing from the nozzle 13. The tube 15 has an air inlet 21 to provide for the free inlet of air to the nozzle 13 to support combustion.

There is a transverse partition 22 in the pan 5 above the chamber 2, provided for the purpose of deflecting the flame from the nozzle 12 so that it will pass underneath the chamber 2, and along the pan 5, thus securing a better distribution of the flame.

lVhat I claim is The combination with a pan having no wardly extending sides, of an oil burner including a generating chamber whose ends are fitted through said sides. a fuel delivery line entering one end of said chamber, a

vapor line leading out from the other end of said chamber, said vapor line separating into branches, one of said branches being downwardly curved, a discharge nozzle carried by said downwardly curved end and directed toward, but spaced from said generating chamber, the free end of the other branch projecting through therear wall of said pan, and a discharge nozzle carried by said last mentioned end.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

\VILLIAM O. CARTER.
