Application filed April No. 469304., tNo model.) I: I 1 Q. I

" Topoll whom it may concern; Be it known that I, EDWARD KELLS, a citizen of the United States,;residing, at Olevei 1and,in th e countyoffOuyahoga andjStateiof Ohio, have invented a certain new and Im-v provedVapor-Burner; andI do hereby declare that the followingris a full, true, andcomplete description thereof. r 2' Y -I My inventionrelates to hydrocarbon burnzo ers andthe improvement'consists in the pe-.

' culiar construction of a vapor generating burner, theobj'ect of which is to render said burner simple in operation, powerful, andefficient for even lessrefined hydrocarbon fuels;

1 5 That the invention may be fully understood and seen reference will be had to the following specification and the accompanying drawings'in which- 5; I j.

Figure 1 illustratesa-partial plan and hori- 2o zontal sectional view of said burner. Fig. 2

- is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 a

detachedsection hereinafter referred to.

Like letters denote like parts in the drawings and specification.

2 5 The above said burner substantially consists of the following parts viz: the generator A, the cylinders B. O. D and E, the base F and the cap G.

The generator A is formed or constructed 3:) for suitable connection with the stand pipe H and the vapor tubes I and J see Figs. 1 and 2, of the latter species one or more may be ap plied for conveyance of vapor to branch or non generating burners. The stand pipe as 5 Well as the vapor tubes are thereby arranged 1n open relation with the interior or chamber of said generator.

Connected with the tube I, is the needle valve K and the mixing flue L from which the 40 spout M is leading to the port a of the arm b in the base F. At or near the intersection of the tube I and valve K said flue L is enlarged as shown at c and perforated for admission of air, and established by means of the groove 5 d is a drip connection between the needle valve and the spout M. The base F comprises the annular cups e and j, which are held united by means of the port arms b, g and h h. The port a of the arm 1) leads from the spout to the interior cup f, whereas the ports '5 of the I armsh 7i,- establish-communication between i the said interior 'cupf and, the exterior cupc. 1

The port 3' of thearmg extends from the'interior cupv f .to the outside of the cup esee Figs. 1 and 3 and servesa's igniting, tube for saidcup f. On topthe rimsof the cupsre and f are recessed to receivethe cylindersB. G. D. and-E. gTheqcylinders B; ,Gextend'up from the exterior cup e and form, an. annular chamber therewith bounded on top by thecap Gwhich is similarly recessed as seen at kk.

Into thev outer cylinder B-penetratesthe o mixingflue'L asseen in Figs. ,1 and'2, vapor and'air' is fth'ereby admittedto the combustion; chamber N attained by the; parts-above 6 described. The profile of the capiG is semicircular andradially arranged slits Ltherein permitof the escape of the flames in annore concentrated state nearest the generator'A. By means of the rods 0 and the lugs m the above mentioned parts are held in position as seen in Figs. 1 and 2.

The cylinders D and E which are perforated extend up from the recessed rims of the inner cup 3" in close proximity to the genera tor A as seen. in Fig. 2. A termination of the spaces between the cylinders O and D and the cylinder E and the generator Ais attained by means of the flanges n and 0, which is essential for an eflicient draft within said cylin- So ders.

Diaphrag ms 19 q are interposed between the base F and the upper parts as seen in Figs. 1 and2, the purpose of which will be herein after explained. 8 5

The above described burner is manipulated and operates as follows: First the needle valve K is partially opened in which instance the gasoline flows freely into the cup f and the port j to be ignited, the valve K remain ing opened while the oil is burning from out the cup f, the combustion thereof being supported by a vigorous draft of. air through the perforated cylinders D and E. The "generator as well as the standpipe, beingcompletely 5 enveloped by a forced fire, become readily heated for generation of vapor therein. The expansive force'of the vapor then gradually depresses the gasoline in said standpipe, and it is vapor which now is ejected through the too orifice of the valve K. The swift current of vapor in passing through the flue L, here draws in the necessary amount of air before entering the combustion chamber N. Vapor being once formed it passes directly into the chamberNand ignites through the slits Z, but if, owing to fluctuations in the standpipe some gasoline may again flow through the needle orifice it will take its course through the spout M, to be burned between the cylinders D, E, which parts initially serve as a medium for generation of vapor, but subsequentlybecome auxiliary means for maintaining perfect oombustion or a blue smokeless flame.

Depending upon the grade of fuel which is used in connection with this burner, the openings of the diaphragms p and q may be limited to a few in number, it is the-object to prevent explosions, that said diaphragms are placed in the positions as shown.

An enlarged heating surface of the pipe I is attained by means of the shield 3 see Figs. 1 and 2, the vapor in passing from the generator is thus less liable to lose in pressure before reaching the needle valve K.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A vapor generating burner, consisting of the stand pipe H, the generator A with tube I, needle valve K, flue L and spout M attached thereto, the base F comprising annular communicating cups e f, inlet port a and ignition port-j; cylinders B O mounted upon the rims of the outer cup 6, and inclosed by the annular slotted cap G, the perforated flanged cylinders D and E extending from the inner cupfin close proximity to the generator A; the said flue L being in communication with the combustion chamber N formed by the cylinders B C, and the spout M connected with the inlet port a and cup f all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination the cylinders B. 0, cup F, cap G and spout M the diaphragmsp q interposed between said parts as shown, perforated cylinders D. E; stand pipe H and generator A arranged within the interior thereof, tube I with needle valve K extending to the exterior for communication with the mixing flue L and combustion chamber N,constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a vapor generating burner the combination of a series of cylinders B O and D E, a base F and cap G, the stand pipe and generator arranged in central position thereto and provided with a vapor tube, needle valve, mixing flue and spout M, an internal combustion chamber being formed by the perforated cylinders D. E for the initial formation of vapor, and the actual combustion chamber being'attained by the cylinders B O in open relation with the mixing flue and needle valve and the spout M forming auxiliary communication with the interior compartmentof the base F and initial combustion chamber constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.
