JENS PEDER SIMONSEN, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

@ikv-BURNER SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,803, dated September 23, 1902.

Application filed .Tune 6, 1901.

To all whom, it rita/y concern:

Be it known that I, .Inns FEDER SrMoNsEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county ot' Alameda and State of Oalifornia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to oil-burners more especially designed for burning crude or the lower grades of oil.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner of this character which shall be simple of construction, durable in use, comparatively inexpensive of production, and efficient in action.

l/Vith this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical sectional view through a fire-box, grate, and burner; and Fig. 2 is a modilied form of the invention,

In the drawings, l denotes the fire-box of a cooking or heating stove, furnace, or any other heat-generator.

2 denotes a burner which Aconsists of a shell, preferably cylindrical in form and closed at both ends. The lower end of the shell has a downwardly-projecting nipple 3, which is formed with an annular row of minute perforations 4.

5 denotes the oil-supply pipe, which may extend down from the top of the shell 2, as shown in Fig. l, or up from the nipple, as shown in Fig. 2, and when arranged as shown in Fig. l is provided at its lower end with a disk 6 and immediately above thisdisk with discharge-apertures 7, which allow the oil to flow upon-and be spread over the disk.. When constructed as shown in Fig. 2, the end of theV pipe projects upwardly through the disk and allows the oil to discharge directly thereupon through the open end of said pipe.

Suitable controlling-cocks 8 may be provided.

The crude oil passes through the pipe 5 and Serial No. 63,423. (No model.)

is discharged upon the disk 6, where it spreads into a fine sheet and falls off the edge of said disk. The shell being entirely inclosed and being arranged in the fire-box is naturally heated to a high degree of temperature, and the confined air in said shell tends to vaporize the oil as it spreads upon the disk and precipitates from said disk to the lower end of the shell upon the ledge or shoulder 91. The gas thus created will escape immediately through the minute perforations 4, while the oil will be subjected to further heat upon the ledge 9, which being nearer the flame will gasify or vaporize it and the gas thus generated be allowed to escape through the openings 4 and be consumed.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages'of my invention will be readily uuderstood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of Athe advantages thereof.

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

In an oil-burner, the combination with the shell having a free and unobstructed inner surrounding vertical wall, ailat ledge secured to and surrounding the bottom of the shell having a depending perforated nipple, a central opening in the ledge in communication with the nipple, of an oil-pipe having a supply-opening, said pipe projecting centrally within the shell and provided on its free end with a disk arranged out of contact with the wall of the shell and made of a diameter larger than the opening in the ledge so as to permit of the oil from said disk to How therefrom to said ledge, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

J ENS PEDER SIMONSEN.
