WVILLIAM H. PHILLIPS, OF TERRE HAUTE, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO JOHN HERMAN KIRKHOFF AND GEORGE F. KIRKHOFF, BOTH OF INDIANAPO- LIs, INDIANA.

OIL-GAS BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 460,657, dated October 6, 1891.

Application filed February 28, 1891. Serial No. 383,250. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. PHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Gas Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in [O the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to oil-gas burners;

and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the burner, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section taken on the line (r 00 in Fig.

A is the pipe through which the oil-gas is caused to flow from any approved form of reservoir.

B is an outer pipe concentric with the pipe A. Air is caused to fiow through the pipe B and mix with the gas inside the tip 0, which is secured to the end of the pipe B. The

mixed air and gas passes through the aperture c in the tip and is there ignited. The other end of the pipe B is screwed into one end of a T junction-piece b.

D is a nipple screwed into the other end of the said j unction-piece b. The end of the gas-pipe A is screwed into the nipple D, so

' that all these above-described parts are rig idly connected together. A pipe at is also 3 5 screwed into the nipple, and is adapted to connect the burner with the reservoir.

E are three spring-wires having their ends twisted together at 6, so that they are firmly united. These wires are provided with inwardly-projecting hooks g on their free ends. 40 The wires are inclined inward at e from the hooks for a short distance, and are then inclined outward at f until they reach the point f. The wires are thrust within the gas-pipe and they bear against the inside of the pipe at the pointf' and are held in position by their own elasticity. The hooks catch all foreign substances which may pass up the pipe with the gas and are easily removed from the pipe and cleaned when necessary.

lVhat Iclaim is r 1. In an 0il-gas burner, the combination, with the internal gas-pipe, of the air-pipe concentric with the gas-pipe, the tip secured to the air-pipe, and the spring-wires supported inside the gas-pipe, said wires being twisted together at one end and provided with inwardly-projecting hooks andinclined portions at the other end, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In an oil-gas burner, the combination, with theinternal gas-pipe, of a nipple screwed onto the end of the gas-pipe, a T junctionpiece screwed onto the said nipple concentric with the gas-pipe, the air-pipe screwed into the other end of the said junction-piece, the tip secured to the end of the air-pipe over the end of the gas-pipe, and the hooked wires supported inside the gas-pipe, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

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

WILLIAM H. PHILLIPS.
