VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,404?, dated March 2li, 1885.

Applicaiion filed May 8,1884. (No model.)

To all. whom t may concern: i

Be it known that I, J. BENNETT WALLACE, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon -Vapor- Generating Burners; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings', and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.

This invention relates to hydrocarbon-vaporgenerating burners having an induction-pipe, and more particularly to devices in such burners for at times deilecting the current of vapor to the exterior of the burner, whereby the iiame of such vapor may keep the generatingpassages heated when the burner is not in active use.

The invention consists in certain novel features of construction, hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figures l to 5, inclusive, show the improvement applied to a burner having its induction-tube inclined with reference to the base of the burner proper. Fig. l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a section in the vplane of line .fr .fr of Fig. l, showing a side elevation of the inductiontube and needle-valve tube. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view with burner-cap removed, and a principal part of the burner base-plate broken away. y Fig. fi is an indirect section in the line y g/ of Fig. 2, but vertical through the ascending liquid-tube of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of the induction-tube and deflector in the line e e of Fig. 4. Figs. 6 to l0, inclusive, show the inventionlapplied to a burner having a curved induction-tube. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of such a burner. Fig. 7 is a plan or top view showinggthe burner-cap removed and a portion of the burner base-plate removed. Fig. 8 is a vertical section in the plane of a; rc, Fig. 7, showing the induction-tube, the deilector, and the needle-valve tube in side elevation. Fig. 9 is a section in the indirect line y y of Fig. 8. Fig. l0 is a transverse section of the induction-tube and deiicctor in the line z z of Fig. 8. Fig. 10a shows in end view a modified form of the deiiector. Figs. l1 and 12 show the improvement applied to a burner having a vertical induction-tube. Fig. 1l is a front elevation, and Fig. 12 is a central vertical section.

The same letter is applied to the same part in all figures of the drawings.

The style of burner here shown is that in which a perforated cap is employed in counection with a base-plate which supports the induction-tube. The invention is, however, applicable to burners in which the inductiontube is otherwise upheld.

The invention contemplates thc presence of liquid-conveying pipes, or of a body of inet-al connecting with such pipes in the neighborhood thereof, against which thevapor-ame may be deflected for the purpose of keeping the generating parts hot while the burner is disused.

In the present drawings, A isa burner baseplate. B is a pipe conveying liquid into contact with parts heated by the burner-flame. C is al pipe communicating with the pipe B at its top. D is a lateral branch of the pipe C. D is a tubular projection of the pipe D, ar-

tube of the burner. E is thc shaft or stem of the needle-valve screw-threaded into the projection D. E is thepoint of the needle-valve, seen protruding through the ejection-orifice ofthe tube D. F is theinduction-tube ofthe burner. G is the deiiector, and G is the handle or lever bywhich the deflector is moved from one of its positions to the other. i

The distinctive feature of my improvement is found in the construction of the inductiontube with a longitudinal slot in one side thereof and a movable part fitted to the slot,which in one position partially forms the wall of the induction-tube, and in another position it partially occupies the passage of said tube, and

the burner.

As the best means of securing` the desired movement of the deiiector, and of giving the proper direction to the vapor when the latter is deflected thereby, said deiiector is preferably pivoted (usually at or near its upper end) to the induction-tube or to an adjacent part of the burner.

In the drawings the deflcctor is shown as ranged in the prolonged axis of the inductionoperates as a deflector by which the vapor and flame are directed upon exterior parts of ICG tubular, but it may, if preferred, be partitubular, or trough-shaped, as shown in Fig. a. It is constructed to ll the slot or cutaway portion of the induction tube when thrown outof use, and is preferably shaped in its inner surface to conform to the circular interior curve of the induction-tube, as indicated in Figs. 5 and 10. Said deiector, as will be observed, is limited in its movement, so that when its lower or outer end is thrown inward its mouth or opening will be in posi- -tion opposite the needle-valve opening, and

will thus perfectly intercept the vapor that would otherwise enter the induction tube, while the upper or inner end is in position to direct the vapor or iiame against the proper parts to be heated.- The inward swinging movement of the deflector may iind its natural andproper limiting-stop inthe coniormation of the tubes. the free end of the deflector strikingy against the opposite wall of the induction-tube. The outer movement may be arrested by different means or stops in different cases.

In Figs. 1 to 4, for example, the upper end 0I" the deiiector is provided with a projection, g3, which strikes an opposing stationary surface when the inner surface of said deiiector comes flush with the inner surface of the induction-pipe.

. f In Figs. 6 to 9 the prolongation of the delector beyond the pivot g serves the saine pury pose, while in Figs. 11 and 12 the lower or free endofthe deflector strikes a neighboring stationary part. The projection g3 in Figs. 1 to 4 also serves the purpose of deflecting the vapor lor iiame more directly against the parts through which the vapor or liquid passes to the needle-valve, and which, as will be seen in all the figures, are generally proximate to the said deiiector.

lits throw.

In Figs. 6 to 10 the same condition as to the inclination and friction last referred to obtain,

and as a further provision for retaining the deiector the lever G (which is in a degree elastic and is rigidly attached to the deector) is arranged to bear upon the transverse or horizontal branch tube D.

In Figs. 11 and 12 the deflector is provided with a downward projection, G2, which bears closelyT against a longitudinal lateral rib7 d, on the side of the tube D, with sufficient friction to hold the defiector in its advanced position.

The delector is used not only to detlect the vapor and give a iiame beneath the burner, but also to deiiect the stream of liquid for initially heating the burner, when this method of such heating is employed.- The drip-cup II may be'accordingly arranged in position to catch the liquid that will fall from the parts upon which it is directed, as shown in Figs. 11' and 12.

It is to be understood that I do not broadly claim devices whereby the vapor may be directed either within the burner or toward exterior parts of the burner, as such devices in various forms are well known.

I claim as my inventionl. The combination, with `a longitudinally-.- slotted induction-tube, adjacent parts to beV heated, and a valve for the ejection of vapor,z ofa defiector movably mounted in the slotof the ind action-tube, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a longitudinally-l` slotted indnction-tube, a valve for the emis-` sion `of vapor, and vapor-generating parts, ofa movable deflector iitted to the slot of the induction-tube, and havingV its inner surface l shaped to conform to the stationary wall of the,

said tube, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a longitudinallyslotted induction-tube, a valve for ejection of vapor, and Vapor-generating parts, of a delector fitted to the slot of the induct-ion-tube, and pivoted at its end adjacent to the burner, and a lever attached to the deflector, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with a longitudinallyslotted induction-tube of a vapor-generating burner, of a pivoteddeiiector fitted to the slot,

and a stop constructed to arrest the defiector in position to form a part of the wall of the induction-tube, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
