JOHN N. CLAYTON, OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSHUA LAMBERT, JOHN E. LAMBERT, CHARLES R. LAMBERT, AND BERT L. LAMBERT, ALL OF SAME PLACE.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,353, dated January 15, 1889.

Serial No. 282,039. (No model.)

To all whom, it ntay concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN N. CLAYTON, of Ypsilanti, in the county of \Vashtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vapor-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to vapor-burners comprising a supporting-plate and hood, and has for its object to provide a novel structure wherein the vaporizing-pipe is so located and curved around the supporting-plate within the combustion-chamber formed by the hood and plate as to constitute a guard or shield which prevents the flame lying along the under side of the plate from being extinguished by a gust of wind entering the discharge mouth of the combustion-e11amber.

The invention consistsin the novel features of construction and combination of devices hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the burner. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view with the hood in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section on line so 00, Fig. 2.

My improved burner is intended for use by plumbers for heating soldering-irons and melting lead; and the object of my invention is to provide a burner which will give considerable heat and which it is diflicult to blow out, the burners now in use for this purpose being liable to become accidentally extinguished when used in outdoor work.

A represents a plate of metal, which I usually make pear-shaped, as shown in Fig. 2.

B represents the shell of the needle-valve, which is secured to one end of plate A, or may be cast integral therewith, as desired, and I represents the threaded barrel in which the screw-threaded needle-valve J plays.

' E represents the valve-orifice of the needlevalve, and K represents a hand-wheel, by which the valve J is operated.

O represents a hood of cast or sheet metal secured to the under side of plate A and inclosed 011 three sides, the opening for flame being at the large end of plate A, between the plate and the hood. In the rear wall of the hood and opposite the needle-orifice E is a combining-tube, D, through which vapor issuing from the needle-orifice passes, mingled with air, into the combustion-chamber made by plateA and hood (7. I also make through the rear wall of the hood 0 one or more small openings (not shown) to admit air to the chambcr.

F represents a number of small holes pierced in the sides of the hood, which admit air to the inside of the hood and make the flame less noisy. My burner may be used without these, however, if desired.

II represents the drip-cup carried on the rear wall of the hood, to be used in starting the burner in the ordinary way.

G represents a pipe, the openend of which is connected with the source of supply of gasoline or other liquid fuel.

L represents a curved pipe which connects the pipe G with the shell B of the needlevalve, and through which gasoline or vapor passes to the needle-orifice. The pipe L is carried from the pipe G toward the front of the plate A and then curved and carried back to the shell B. I have shown only one curve, but of course more may be used, if desired. \Vith this construction the pipe L partly closes the orifice at the mouth of the burner, so that if a gust of wind blows into the mouth the flame lying along the under side of plate A and back of the pipe L is shielded and the burner is not extinguished, and by placing this pipe L in the combustion-chamber of the burner I obtain a much larger supply of vapor than can. be had by simply drilling passages in the plate A.

The operation of my improved burner is too obvious to need description.

hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A vapor-burner consisting of the plate A, having at one end the valve-shell B, provided with the vapor-orifice E and valve J, the hood O, secured to the under side of the plate to constitute a combustion-chamber between the latter and the side and rear end walls of said hood, with its front open for the discharge of the flame, a combining-tube, D,

opening through the rear Wall of the hood gnard at the mouth of the combustion-chamopposite the vapor-orifice, and the vaporizing; ber, substantially as and for the purposes depipe L, havingmeans to connect with the scribed.
