UNITED STATES ATENT JAMES BAINS, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

OIL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,525, dated January 22, 1889.

Application filed August 8, 1888. Seal No. 282,196. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern: the pipe B has the pipe F leading therefrom, Be it known that I, J AMES BAINS, of Oinand connected to the inner end of the retort cinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State next to the pipe B is the pipe G, which eX- of Ohio, have invented certain neT and usetends downward at its outer end, and is l 5 ful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I do connected to the outer end of the gasolinehereby declare the following' to be a full, clear, burner I. This pipe G serves to convey the and exact description of the invention, such vapor generated from the gasoline into the as will enable others skilled in the art to retort, so as to cause it to mix with the vapor which it pertains to make and use it, refergenerated from the oil, and thus form a mix- 6o 1o ence being had to the accompanying drawture which will give a much more intense ings, which form part of this specification. heat than the vapor generated from the oil My invention relates to an improvement in alone or the gasoline alone.

Leading from the bottom of tends from the bottom of this tank or reserthis tank N is the pipe O, Which is provided voir for conveying the oil to the burner, and with thetwo stop-cocks P Q, the same as the which is provided with the stop-cock C for pipe B. The inner end of the pipe O is per- 3 5 regulating the flouof oil to the burner. This forated, so as to form a gasoline-burner, I, and

This burnergives a special flame for any one vessel which is to be heated, and therefore is made so that it can be turned in any direction.

Extending from the inner end of the retort is a pipe, F, and upon this pipe F is placed a small chamber, U, from the inner end of wh ich 4the end of the pipe F one of the pipes will always be on top, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, so as to allow the to pass freely through this upper pipe without having to pass through the oil which will cover the opened ends of two lower ones. The vapor which passes into this chamber is superheated and the oil converted into vapor, and this vapor passes through the pipe X up to the burner, which may be located in any part of the building. As a much greater quantity of vapor can be generated at any time than is absolutely necessary, abundant vapor is generated for lighting purposes. Three pipes,V, being used, one of them is always at the top, and hence there need be no particular care exercised in making the connection between the pipes and the vaporizer. The entire burner, as shown in Figs. l, 2,- and 3, is to be placed in the lire-box of an ordinary cooking-stove or furnace, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. The pipes B and O extend through the door at the end of the stove, or through openings especially made for rlhe small pipes are used for the purpose them. The burner may be used in any cool:- ing-stove or furnace.

This burner is especially adapted for burning head-light oil, and is equally well adapted for grates, stoves, and furnaces and for cooking and heating purposes.

I do not limit myself to any particular form, shape, or construction here shown, for

these may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claiml. The combination of a reservoir for holding oil, a -pipe extending therefrom, a generator to which this pipe is connected, asecond reservoir for holding gasoline, a pipe, O, extending therefrom, and a pipe, G, for connecting the pipe O also with the generator, the gasoline-pipe being provided with perforations, so as to form a burner, I, and a burnerpipe, L, which is connected to t-he generator, substantially as shown.

2. The combination of a reservoir or tank, a pipe leading therefrom, the retort to which one end of the supply-pipe is connected, a pipe, F, extending from the opposite end of this retort, a vaporizing-chamber connected tot-his pipe and located to one side of the burners, the chamber U, formed at one end of the vaporizi11g-chamber, and two or more pipes extending from the inner end of the chamber U into the vaporizing-chamber, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
