2 Claims.

' This invention relates to on burning equipment and my improvements, while not so limited, are intended particularly for use on marine vessels.

As will presently appear I propose to provide an air tight and water tight bulkhead or partition extended transversely across the fire room in front of and suitably spaced from the boilers, to thus separate the main portion of the fire room from the boilers and their furnaces, said fire room being divided intoa boiler compartment and an operators compartment.

The burner equipmen which is connected through the air register with the boiler front plate, penetrates the bulkhead and is connected 16 with said bulkhead by means of an expansible,

bellows, to absorb expansion and other distortions which occur between the boiler and bulkhead.

other features and advantages of my invention will hereinafter appear.

In the drawings:--

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved oil burning equipment, taken on the line l-i of Fig. 2, and including the burner, air tight partition that is penetrated by said burner, air register, and expansible-bellows connection between the partition and register.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing a bulkhead in a fire roomwith the burner portions projecting forwardly thereof.

Dealing in the first instance with the compartmented fire room wherein the boilers are shut off from that portion of the fire room occupied by the furnace attendants, .let I indicate a bulkhead which extends transversely across the fire room and serves as an tition to separatea boiler compartment A from the fire room compartment B that is adapted for human occupancy at atmospheric pressure; it being intended to supply air under pressure, by

any suitable means,'into compartment A for combustion purposes.

The air register is shown as provided with a pressed steel frame having divided members 2 that are bowed. and engage by studs 3 with a ring to the boiler front plate 5, said ring also carrying the usual Venturi ring 6.-

The frame members 2 merge forwardly in a disk I that is provided with guide slots 8 for pins 9 that project from curved vanes l0 which are housed within frame members 2, said vanes, near their rearward ends, having lugs I i by which they pivotally engage the studs 3.

Also a rotatable plate 12 is provided, it too having slots, l3, which engage pins 9 for the st rotation of. the vanes.

air and water tightpar- The plate i2 carries a toothed sector it with which a pinion I5 is in mesh, said pinion having an operating shaft [6, with handle ii for its manipulation.

.A burner tube it, with the usual atomizer l9 5 and flame cone 20 entered within the register, has the jacket 2| and is provided at its forward end with a usual form of oil supply means.

The burner tube, in its jacket, is entered through a hollow casting 22, in which it is rendered air tight by a stufiing box 23, for a purpose to be described hereinafter. Also said casting is provided with a passageway for the reception of the shaft i6, and here too a stufling box 24, is employed to render the fit air tight be- 15 tween shaft l6 and its passageway.

A radial web 25 extends from and surrounds the casting 22, in compartment A, intermediate bulkhead I and boiler plate 5 and in suitable spaced relation from the bulkhead, and an ex- 20 pansion bellows 26 is fitted between said web 25 and the bulkhead, said bellows at its rear end having a flange 21 that is clamped between web 25 and a ring 28 as with bolts 29; and said bellows, at its forward end having a flange 30 that is clamped between bulkhead i and a ring 3! as with bolts 32.

As has been premised the expansion bellows is intended for the purpose of absorbing expansion and other distortions occurring between the bulkhead and boiler.

Thus, by means f the tight joints effected between the bellows, the web 25 and the bulkhead, as well as the stufiing boxes 23, 24, pressure of air in compartment A is precluded from entering compartment B, while the control means for oil supply tothe burner and the operating handle for shaft iii are projected into compartment B and therefore available to an operator therein. I It will be noted that the frame disk 1 is apertured for the reception of the casting reduced portion 33, and the rotatable plate l2, which is also apertured, has its bearing about a shoulder 34 upon said casting. v 45 Plate i2, which is provided with a cover 35, is rotated by pinion i5 as meshed with sector ll, by the operation of shaft l6, and in such rotation the vanes to, through the engagement of their 5 pins 9 with the angled slots i3, are turned either inwardly to the closed position or outwardly to the open position, the angled slots 8 in fixed disk 1 serving to guide these' movements.

A cover plate 36 is shown as carried by bulkhead I and having the observation doors 3! and lishting door l Variations within the spirit and scope of my invention are equally comprehended by the fore- Eoinz disclosure.

I claim:--

.1. The combination with a boiler furnace having a front plate, a bulkhead in spaced relation to said plate to define a compartment therebetween, said bulkhead having an opening therethrough, a burner tube projected through the 2. The combination with a boiler furnace having a front plate, a bulkhead in spaced relation to said plate to define a compartment therebetween, said bulkhead having an opening therethrough, a burner tube projected through the opening in said bulkhead into said compartment, a casting in which said burner tubeis mounted, substantially rigid means connecting saidcasting to said plate, a radial web on said casting, and expansion bellows having one end aflixed to said bulkhead and its other end secured to said web, the arrangement being such so as to compensate for relative movement between the front plate and the bulkhead.
