VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 484,114, dated October 11, 1892.

Application tiled July 30, 1,891. y Serial No. 401,230. (N model.)

To a/ZZ whom it .may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH R. SAPP, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cuyafollowing is a specification. p

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is Fig. 2 is Fig. 3 is a top a side elevation of my new burner. a vertical section of the same. or plan view of the same.

This invention relates to improvements in 'that class of vapor-burners Where the vaporization of the gasoline is automatically produced by the flame itself, which serves the double purpose of vaporizing the gasoline, and thereby producing the illuminant on which said ame feeds, and of illuminating, and, also, where an automatic admixture of the gasoline vapor and atmospheric air is insured.

A represents an elbow or right-angle shaped pipe or coupling, to the lower end of the vertical portion of which is connected the gasoline-supply pipe E. The vertical portion of this pipe or coupling is formed with a gasoline-vaporizing chamber F, up into which the gasoline ascends from the supplypipe E. The top face or lcrown of said vertical portion of the pipe or coupling A, immediately above the vaporizing or vapor-generating chamber F is of flat horizontal shape, as shown at G, and is horizontally in line with the flame-exit slit ct to insure the flame traveling directly along and in contact with said flat portion G, so as to heat the generating -chamber F and vaporize the gasoline therein. Extendinghorizont-allyfromsaidvertical portion the pipe or coupling branches, as shown at B, and through which branch horizontally extends a channel or passage-way b, connecting at one end with said vaporizingchamber F and extending vertically upward, as shown at c, into an oifset C in a horizontally-threaded passage-way d, of which is seated a needle-valve e. Through this angular passage or channel b c the gasoline-vapor passes from the vaporizing-chamber F to the valve-guarded exit end of the offset C.

f and g represent vplugs closing end and bottom openings in the branch B, communicating with the Vapor-channel b. By removing said plugs the channel b c can be readily cleaned.

D represents the commingling-chamber, which consists of a tube or cylinder lying parallel with and above said branch B, and is open at its rear end to admit atmospheric air and within which chamber the air and vapor are automatically commingled, the iiame, when the needle-valve is open, drawing the air and Vapor into and Inixing them together within said chamber, as is well understood.

a. represents the flame-exit slit in the otherwise closed front end of said chamber D. The upper lip h of said slit extends forwardly of and overhangs the lower lip thereof and extends over the flat top G of the vaporizingchamber, so as to guide and insure the iiame passing across and impinging against said flat top G, and thereby imparting its heat thereto for the purpose of insuring the vaporization of the gasoline in said chamber F.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl The vapor-burner herein described, con` y sistin g of a ri ght-angled or elbow-shaped pipe or coupling having in its vertical portion a gasoline-vaporizingchamber,saidverticalportion at its lower end being connected with the gasoline-supply pipe and having at its upper end a Il at crown, the horizontally-extending or branch portion of said pipe having at its rear end an interiorly-threaded upwardly-extending offset and a right-angled passageway connecting said vaporizing-chamber and offset, a needle-valve having bearing within said offset, a tubular air and vapor commingling chamber extending parallel with and above the horizontal portion of said elbowshaped pipe and having an open rear end, and a lipped and slitted front end, the upper lip of which extends forwardly over a portion of the iiat crown of the vaporizing-chamber, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
