lne principal objects of the invention are to minimize the dangerof flooding in oil hurningfurnaces in the event of the failure of the ignition, and to provide avery compact arrangement for the purpose which will receive any oil escaping unburned from the nozzle and from which said oil niay'be Very easily discharged prior to re-starting the burner into operation.
The principal features of the invention consist in the novel construction of a receptacle casino which is pivot'ally mounted on theend of the overflow pipe leading from the combustion chamber to receive the discharge therefrom, the casing being adapted to he swung on its pivotal mounting to drain the oil therefrom and being adapted to house a suitable switch mechanism actuated by a float in the casing.
A further feature consists in providing a stop on the casing adapted to engage the overflow pipe to limit the swinging movement of the casing thereon.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the casing showing its arrangement on the overflow pipe in lts overflow recelving position.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device illustrated in Figure 1 showing the manner in which the receptacle may he swung to'eifect the removal of the-oil therefror Figure 3 is a part section, part elevational View of the device illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. i in the type of power driven oil burners now so extensively used for domestic heating purposes it is particuiariy desirable that'some means he provided for taking care of the discharged oil in the event of the failure of the oil toignite, due oftento an interruption in the ignition. v
it has been found that under such conditions and with present equipment in the event of failure of the flame at the burner for some reason other than the actual shutting oii of the power, the oil will still continue to be delivered to the burner by the pump and this oil failing to ignite flows down into the furnace and rapidly floods the same.
In our co-pending United States applica t 2 5 a N9 403% fi d J n 29, 925, We h ve d s ri ed a 'a u ma ie f rm f t'o l which is actuated this excess amount of oil in the furnace to effect the shutting off ofthe main motor circuit in the event of the furnace becoming flooded, so that the motor will diecontinue pumping further ,oil to the burner. h Pr s t application is a d v qn it i plication- Ser. No. 40,34z0 such application being W Paar me s eed NOV: 9,
The Pres nt inv nti s di ed be a ar ticularly effective means foftaking care of the excess or overfiow'oil furnace from which the oil may be very conveniently a d kl em t d $9 the i e fe lly re-set before the burner is again setv into operation, it be ng-i portant thatsuch apparatus cannot be left i an inoperable condition." i A ii i In the construction herein shown the overflow pipe 1' whichleads from the furnalce 'is connected to a suitahle pan or other," receiver that will readily'catch' the liquid oil discharged from the burner nozzle when his not being ignited.
The pi e 1 leads outside of the furnace and extends into a casing 2 which is p vepaliy mounted" upon the .pin" 3' which extends through the pipe close to its outer end and through thelugs 4i iirthe side of the casing.
i The said casing is formed with a substantially cylindrical well portion '5 'which is adapted to house the switch actuating float 6 as fully described in our co-pending'applicav' tion abovereferred to.
"ihe side portions 7 of the lugs 4; extend forwardly inthe form of a lip whlich fits snugly around the underside of the pipe 1 and connects with sloping spout-shaped poitiori8 which preferably extends well down to the lower extremity of the cylindrical float well portion 5 forv a purpose tohe re,-
ferred to A cover 9 closes the top of the well 5 and is P v d wit an p a y ilg l i :0 the forward side. which registers with the de allslei h new and aim t e ing to b swung o'rflop d upwardly 9th? p s tion h w in ree. .7 2 Wh je" th iP engages the top of the pipe 1 and arrests the casing against further movement.
A suitable casing 11 is mounted on the cover 9 which forms a convenient housing for a suitable switch mechanism to which the float is adapted to be connected.
In the event of the liquid oil escaping from the burner and flowing through the pipe 1, it flows into the'well 5 where it is adapted to raise the float 6 therein as described in our co-pending application for the purpose of operating the electric switch to stop the operation of the burner mechanism. 7
Before starting the burner into operation again, it is necessary to drain the oil from the float well '5 and this is accomplished in a very simple manner by merely tilting the casing 2 upon its pivotto the position shown in Figure 2 "which allows the oil to flow therefrom out of the spout 8, which as previously stated extends well down to the lower extremity of the float well portion 5 so that the oil will be completely drained therefrom.
The lip 10 effectively prevents the casing from being tipped past the centre of gravity so that when it is released, it will swing back of its own weight to its normal position on the pipe 1 and remain in this position in readiness should a further overflow of oil occur. I
In this way the casing cannot be accidental- 1y left in a position where it will not receive the overflow, and when used in COI1]U.I1CtiOl1 with the float actuated switch mechanism described in our co-pending application will provide a very compact and desirable combination which will ensure definite protection from the dangers attending the flooding of oil burning furnaces. 7
What we claim as our invention is:
