FRANK F. MEYERS, OF FORT PLAIN, NEIV YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO CHARLES S. TANNER, OF SAME PLACE.

HYDROCARBON- BU RN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 399,770, dated March 19, 1889.

Application filed November 30, 1888. Serial No. 292,271. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK B. MEYERs, of Fort Plain in the county of Montgomery and State of New York,have invented a new and Improved Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hydrocarbon-burner which I0 is simple and durable in construction, very effective in operation, and insures complete combustion.

The invention consists in certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement on the linear a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same on the line y y of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4c is a similar view of part of the same on the line 5 .2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a furnace with my improved burner applied.

The improved hydrocarbon-bu rner A is pro- 0 Vided with a casing, B, to the front end of which is secured a tube, 0, madeof suitable material, and carrying on its outer end abellshaped mouth, D. The tube 0 usually passes through the mouth of the furnace in such a manner that the wide end of the bell-shaped mouth D is flush with the inside of the furnace-wall.

On the. casing B, opposite the inner end of the tube 0, is secured a bushing, E, through which passes the oil-tube F, passing centrally through the casing B, and a short distance into the tube C, as is plainly shown in Fig. 1. The oil-pipe F can be moved inward or outward in the casing B to any desired point, and then secured in place by a set-sorew, E, screwing in the bushing E. The pipe F is connected with a suitable source of oil-supply, located above the burner A. A valve, G, in, the pipe F serves to regulate the flow of 50 oil from the oilsupply to the burner A.

On the inner closed end of the pipe F are secured anumber of rods, 11, which extend in the tube 0 to its front end, and are arranged radially around the side of the pipe F. The outer ends of the rods H preferablytouch the inner surface of the tube 0. In the top of the inner end of the oil-pipe F is formed an opening, I, through which the oil is discharged. The oil after passing through the opening I falls by its own gravity around the inner ends of the rods II, and is carried along the same by the air, as herein after more fully described. Into the side of the casing B opens a pipe, J, connected with the air-supplyusually a fan or blower of any approved construction.

In the inside of the casing Bis held an airsupply regulator, K, comprising a cylindrical tube, K, cut out at the top and bottom at K as is plainly shown in Figs. 1 and The end toward the tube 0 is open, while the opposite end is closed by a disk, K which extends to the inner surface of the casing 13. A rod, L, is secured by its inner end to the said disk K and passes through the bushing E to the outside. The outer end of the rod L is secured to a collar, N, mounted to slide on the oil-pipe F, and adapted to be secured in place on the same by a set-screw, 0. When the latter is loosened, the collar N can be moved forward or backward on the pipe F, so that the regu 8o lator K is moved to the right or left, and the supply of air entering the tube J is increased or diminished as the said disk K moves more or less over the inner opening of the pipe J.

The operation is as follows: Air is supplied through the tube J, and passes into the casing 13 through the regulator K and into the tube 0. Oil is supplied by the pipe F, and passes through the opening I onto the inner ends of the rods H, so that the air passing over the ends of the said rods carries the oil along the rods II, thereby completely atomizing the oil,

so that the air is charged with oil-vapor, which burns in the bell-shaped mouth D. It is understood that the heat from the furnace to which the burner is applied also heats the bell-shaped mouth D, the tube 0, and the rods H, so that the atomizing of the oil proceeds very rapidly, and the resulting gas is highly heated before it is burned. The quantity of air and oil to be mixed can be regulated by the valve G and the regulator K.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A hydrocarbon-burner comprising a casing having an air-inlet pipe, a burner proper comprising a tube connected at its inner end with said casing and having a bell-shaped mouth, and an oil-pipe passing through the inner end of said easing into the said tube, and carrying at its forward end a tubular series of rods extending to the juncture of the bell-shaped mouth with outer end of the tube, substantially as shown and described.

2. A hydrocarbon-burner comprising a casing having an'air-inlet pipe, a burner proper comprising a tube connected at its inner end with said casing and having a bell-shaped mouth, an oil-pipe passing through the said easing into the rear end of said tube, and carrying a tubular series of rods extending to the outer end of the tube at its juncture with the flarin g mouth, and an air-supply regulator held in the said casing, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a burner proper comprising a tube having a bell-shaped mouth, of an oil-pipe extending into the inner end of said tube, and provided with a tubular flaring series of rods extending along the inside of the tube to its outer end at the juncture of said bell-shaped mouth and serving to carry the oil to be atomized, substantially as shown and described.

4:. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with the burner-tube connected with an air-supply, of an oil-pipe extending into the inner end of said burner-tube, and rods secured around the inner end of the said oilpipe, and extending forwardly at an incline along the said tube to the inner end of the bellsl1aped mouth, substantially as shown and described.

5. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with an oil-pipe closed at its. discharge end, and provided near the same, on the top, with an opening, of rods secured on the discharge end of the said oil-pipe and projecting from the same, and serving to carry the oil discharged through the said pipe-opening, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a casing having an air-inlet pipe, of a burner proper comprising a tube secured at one end to the said casing and carrying at its other end a bell-shaped mouth, an oil-pipe passing through the inner end of said easing into the said burner-tube, and rods secured in a tubular series to the said oil-pipe, and extending along the said burner-tube to the inner end of the bell-shaped mouth and receiving the oil from the said oil-pipe, substantially as shown and described.

7. In a hydrocarbon-burner, the combination, with a casing having an air-inlet pipe, of a burner proper comprising a tube secured at one end to the said casing and carrying at its other end a bell-shaped mouth, an oil-pipe passing through the said casing into the inner end of said burner-tube, rods secured in a tubular flaring series to the said oil-pipe, and extending along the said burner-tube to the inner end of the flaring mouth and receiving the oil from the said oilpipe, and an airregulator, K, held adjustably in the said casin g, and provided with a rod extending through the end of the casing and having an adjusting-collar on the oil-pipe, substantially as.

shown and described.
