orL BURNER.

Application filed October 7, 1927. Serial No. 224,670. i.

'Another object of the invention is to pro vide a burner for this purpose which is efli- M cient in operation, consists of a minimum number of parts, and one which can be manufactured at a very small cost.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner of this type constructed in 1 such manner that an abundance of air will be furnished to the combustion chambers, and further to provide a burner having relatively long jets.

In the accompanying drawings: 7

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the burner.

Figure 2 is a of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional View on line 3-S of Figure 1.

Figure 4: is a bottom plan view burner. I

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the rectangular base which is provided with longitudinal troughs 2 and transverse troughs 3 which communicate with each other.

The base 1 has an opening 1 formed therein in which is located a spider 5 having bars 6 and at their inner sections is engaged the upper end of the fuel supplypipe 7 j The end walls 8 of the base have their of the upper ends curved and fixed thereon in any approved manner are the ends of the transversely curved bottom plate 9, and supported by said plate in spaced relation is a trans versely curved top plate 10, the space be tween said plates constituting a vaporizing chamber 11. Upon reference to Figures 1 and 2 it will be seen that the longitudinal edges of the plates 9 and 10 are spaced from the outer side walls 12 of the longitudinal troughs 2 to provide spaces 13 intowhich the jets 14 formed by the longitudinal edges of said plates open. By curving the upper edges of the ends 8 and transversely curving '2 which defines the opening a have their sectional view on line E2.-2

the plates 9 and 10 the chamber 11 will be concavo convex in cross section in order that the oil will be compelled to flow toward the jets 14. The inner walls 15 of the troughs upper edges spaced from the bottom plate 9 in order to permit air to pass from the open ings and flow above the troughs 2 to commingle with the vaporized oil flowing from the jets 14: to carburate the same to provide .a gas which is highly combustible.

Supported upon the walls 12 are bafile flanges 15 which will obviously direct. the flame upwardly when the burner is in operation. 5

The bottom plate 9 has fixed to its under surface a coupling 16 inrwhich isthreaded the upper end of the pipe 7, there being an opening 17 in said plate to permit the fuel 7 i to flow into the chamber 11 where it is vaporized. The troughs 3 are provided with plugs 18 which can be removed to drain excess fuel therefrom. I

The base is further provided with openings 19 through which air may enter to aid combustion.

To place the. burner in operation oil is permitted to flow through the supply pipe into the

troughs

2 and 3, after which it is. ignited. The heat from the burning oil will heat the plates 10 and vaporize the oil flowing into the chamber 11 from the pipes to the jets 14, the vaporized oil being discharged from the jets into the combustion chambers A, which are defined by the troughs 2, baflile flanges 15 and ends 8.

lVhile the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements the de sign may be varied and such other changes 7 in the minor details of construction may be resorted towithin the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof. Having thus described the invention, I claim:

A burner of the class described comprising a base including longitudinal troughs, bafile flanges supported by the outer wallsv of said troughs, a vaporizing chamber defined by top and bottom plates disposed in spaced therein, means for conducting fuel through szucl openlng lnto the vapor-12mg chamber,

and means for conducting air to the com- 10 bustion chambers. r

In testlmony whereof I my slgnature.
