SPEIFIGATION forming* part of Letters Patent NO. 704,895, dated July 15, 1902.

Application led August 3,1901. Serial No. 70,811. (No modelo burner, the obj ect being to provide an exceed-` ingly cheap and simple construction of burner by means of which an exceedingly hot flame can be produced, and another object is to provide a burner in which perfect control of they iiame can be had, thereby directing the said flame in any desired direction.

Another object of the invention `is to provide a burner which shall be of such construction that it will loe-impossible for it to become clogged or get out of order; and a still further object is to provide a burner which can be used in connection with cooking-stoves 'and also steam-boiler furnaces.

l With these objects in view the invention consists in' the peculiar construction 'of the various parts and in their novel combination or arrangement, all of which will be fully described hereinafter and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specilication, Figure l is a sectional view illustrating the application of my invention to anordinary cooking-stove. Fig. 2 is a similar view illustrating the application oi" my invention to a steam-boiler furnace. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the damper. Fig, 4 is a perspective view illustrating the deliector-plates, and Fig. /is a perspective view of the pan or trough. In carrying out my invention I employ a trough or pan A, the ends A being extended to provide feet, uponwhich the trough rests. The feet of the trough rest directly upon the grate or grate-bars, as most clearly shown in Figs. l and 2. The deiiector-plates B are connected at their ends by means of strips B', said strips B resting upon the upper edges of the trough and supporting the plates longitudinally of the said trough, said strips B' being cut out, as shown at B2, to lit within the trough, and thereby prevent dislocation of the deliector-plates. The deflector-platesl are 4 iiector plates.

is fed. into the trough or pan by means of a supply-pipe C. An essentially V-shaped lchamber is produced between the deflectorplates, and located centrallyvin this chamber is a V- shaped damper D, the ends of the damper-shaft D' being journaled in the slots B3,

produced in the end strips B', and one end of the damper-shaft extends through one side of the stove or furnace for ther purpose of operating said damper.

In operation oil is permitted to fiow into the trough or pan A and is then ignited, and the air passing around the sides of the pan or trough will be deflected by the plates B down into the trough or pan A and will there commingle with the oil. The dame passes up between the plates, and When the damper is in a central position, as shown in Fig. I, the iame will be divided and will spread t0 all parts of the fire-chamber. In case, however, it is desired to dedect the dame to one side or the other the damper can be turned, so as to contact at one side with the face of the delector-plate, and thereby direct the flame in the direction of the opposite delector-plate.

In Fig. 2 I have shown the application of my invention to a steam-boiler furnace, and in this construction the damper is dispensed with and the burner comprises a series of troughs, each provided with a pair of de- Furthermore, in arranging my burner in connection with a steam-boiler furnace I employ a common feed-pipe having a series of branch pipes, each burner trough or pan having a branch pipe leading thereto. The general construction, however, of the burner and the general operation are identically the same. The supply-pipe is not liable to become clogged, inasmuch as'it is not subjected to the action of heat from the burner.

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

' permitting air to commingle with the oil which IOS 1. A hydrocarbon burner comprising a trough or pan having supporting-feet at each end, the curved defector-plates connected at their ends by means of strips adapted to rest upon the trough, and the pivoted damper supported upon the end strips, substantially as shown and described.

2. A hydrocarbon burner comprising a trough or pan having end su pports, the curved defiector-plates arranged centrally and longitudinally of the said trough or pan, the end strips to which the deflector-plates are connected, said end strips being cut away at their lower corners and slotted centrally at their upper edges, and a V-shaped damper having the ends of its shaft journaled in the
