IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,937, dated November 25, 1879 application filed July 14, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, EDWARD F. Roenns, of Boston, in the county of Suii'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vapor Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the employment, in connection with a perforated va1')orizing-chamber, of a series of adjustable tubes or ductsarranged above the said chamber, by means of which the air is mixed with the generated vapor, as. desired; and also in the combinati0n,with the above, of an oilchamber having a central opening, and arranged above the adjustable tubes or ducts, for

- the purpose of effecting a more perfect combustion and consequent increase of heat.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which represents a vertical section of my device.

A represents a saucer-shaped base-piece, which serves as a drip-cup and a support for the burner. From the center of the cup A rises the standard B, to which is secured the elbowshaped tube piece (J.

F isan annular vaporizing-chamber, co'n' nectcd by the tube 1) with the tube 0, and

provided on its upper side with perforations f f for the escape of the vapor.

E is the oil-chamber, into which oil or other fluid is conducted from a reservoir arranged in the usual manner. The oil-chamber E is connected with the vaporizing-chamber F by means of the tube G, as shown.

K K represent comically-shaped tubes open at both ends, the larger openings being at the lower ends and attached to a band or ring, P, fitting loosely on the standard 0, so as to enable them to be turned upon the standard as an axis when desirable. The said tubes K are placed above the chamber F, as shown, and when the burner is 1n operation it is designed thatthelower openings shall be over the spaces between the perforations f f, in order that the tubes K.

As it sometimes occurs that considerable noise is caused by the combustion of the vapor, and in order to avoid the same, the tubes K may be turned so that the lower ends will be over the holes f f when the vapor and air are mixed together in the tubes K. The heat in this case will not be so great, but is suffi cient'for ordinary purposes.

H is a circular metal plate or button attached to a stem, I, that screws into the standard O, by means of which it may be adjusted more or less near to the chamber E, as required.

The pipe N, which conducts the oil from the reservoir to the chamber E, terminates in areduced pipe, M, having at its end a small orifice, by which means the return of any gas or heated oil or fluid to the feed-pipe N is pre- In operation, the oil or other fluid. in the chamber F is first vaporized by applying heat to the same in the usual manner. The vapor passes out through the holes f f, and the flame from the same passes between the tubes KK, and, mingling with the air passing through the said tubes, causes a high degree of combustion and great heat. The flames pass around the sides of the chamber E.

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The adjustable tubes or ducts K K, in combination with the perforated vaporizingchamber F, as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of the oil-chamber E, having a central opening, the air ducts K K, and the vaporizingchamber F, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of the oil-chamber E, the air-ducts K K, and the adjustable disk H, as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

E. F. ROGERS.
