OIL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,297, dated May 28, 1889.

Application filed September 3, 1888. Serial No. 284,490. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN D. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leavenworth, county of Leavenworth, State of Karlsas, have invented a new and useful Oil- Burner for Stoves, Grates, &o., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in coil-oil burners, where coal-oil is burned as a fuel in stoves, grates, or furnaces; and the object of my improvement is, first, to more elt'ectually commingle with the burning oil the air necessary to its complete combustion; second, to partially vaporize the oil and thereby increase its combustibility, and, third, to pass the oil onto the burning hearth in afilm from between sheets of metal so close together that it is impossible for the air to enter and commingle to form an explosive gas. I attain these objects by mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective vertical view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a View from the bottom, with a partial sectional view, showing the packing used to confine the oil in place. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 00 x of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is the same view with flue attached. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal view of pipe used to convey oil from the reservoir to the burner. Fig. 6 is a vertical perspective and partial sectional view showing my burner attached to stove with reservoir and connections.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is a piece of gas-pipe of any preferred length and diameter, one end of which is provided with a coupling, a, and the other being capped, b, in the usual way. Along one side of the pipe are arranged holes 02 o o, through which the oil in the pipe escapes and passes through the space between the plates 13 and B, which space is formed by bending plate B around pipe A and back upon itself part of its length, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4c. The balance of plate B not covered by B forms the hearth upon which the oil burns.

D is a metal plate forming a casing so shaped and bent as to form the front and sides of a flue for directing the draft, and also has an eXtensionflV, passing downward from apex of burners to pipe A, having projecting ends D, which are to be bent under the plates B and B tofirmly hold such plates together, (see Fig. 2,) and also for the purpose of holdin g D and W in position.

In Fig. 2 will be seen a partial sectional vi ew of the asbestus or other packing, d,which is to surround pipe A and fill the space between plates Band B, and serves the obvious purpose of preventing the oil from too freely leaving pipe A.

C is a plate forming the back of the flue, and is held in position by the bent projections on plate D, Fig. 4.

s 8 (see Figs. 2 and 4) are slots in plate B, having upward-projecting lips. Such holes or slots and the lips to same are arranged on an angle to the sides of B of about forty-five degrees, the lips being so arranged as to prevent the oil from flowing through the holes or slots. The slots serve the purpose of admitting air to commingle with the burning oil, and thereby effect complete combustion. Coupling a and cap I) also serve the purpose of holding disk of asbestus packing against the edge of plate B, where it passes around pipe A. (See Fig. 2.)

Slots 1' 'i in plate D are to admit cold air to the products of combustion in the flue.

The oil coming from the reservoir through a pipe joined to coupling a enters pipeA and passes through the small holes 1) o 2) into the space filled with packing between plates B and B, and percolating through the meshes of such packing rises by its own force to the apeX,of the bend in plates B and B; thence downward between such plates to the hearth or place of combustion on the end of plate 13 not overlapped by plate B. The space between plates B and B is shown at Z Z, Fig. 4.

The hearth, being an incline plane, enables the oil to cover and flow down its surface while ignited, and the air entering slots 8 s and from under the lower end of plate B facilitates and completes combustion.

The heat communicated by platesB and B expands and partially vaporizes the oil, in which condition it produces greater heat and is more completely consumed.
