OIL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,121, dated December 16, 1902.` Application filed January 2, 1902. Serial No. $8,122. (No model.)

To all whom t may col/acervo..-

Beit known that I, CHARLES WILLIAM SIE- with air, so as to obtain thorough combustion.

This specification is a specific description of one form of theinvention, while the claims are `definitions of the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specilication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure l is a sectional view ofthe invention, and Fig. 2 is a plan View with parts broken away.

a. indicates the structure `or inclosure in which the burner is held or placed. may, for example, be a fireplace or the walls of a stove `or any other device in connection with which the burner is used.

b indicates the base-plate of the burner, and thisis constructed with an enlarged Acentral opening'b' for the passage of the air upward from below the base-plate. Mounted on the base-plate is an annular cup c, Whichis concentric to the opening 4b and has radiallydisposed troughs crunning across its central portion and lying over the opening b.

d indicates the oil-supply pipe, which passes from below the base-plate but through the openingband communicates with the troughs at their point of juncture, so that the oil in passing from the pipe d falls into the troughs c and thence down these troughs 'into the cup c at various points along the same. According to the construction here shown there are fourtroughs,`and the oil How is thus dicentral portion of the cup and the troughs.4 The air-draft passes through the opening b and up into the cap e and is then deflected downward into the cup c. To start the burner,

a quantity ofroil is ignited in the cup c, and as this burns it will highly heat the adjacent parts, particularly the cap e. The ow of oil from the pipe d is now turned on, and as this oil passes by the highly-heated cap e and into the cup c it is vaporized and simultaneously mingled with the air, which becomes heated by contact with the parts c, c', and e. rlfhis vapor may be ignited and burned in the cup c. As the operation of the burner goes on the parts will become still further heated, and thus the most eifective generation of gas and mixture of air therewith is obtained.

The burner may be used in innumerable connections, as will be apparent to persons skilled in the art.

Various changes in the form and details of my invention may be resorted to at will without departing from the spirit of my invention. Hence I consider myself entitled to all forms of the invention as may lie within the intent of my claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- '1. A burner, comprising an annular cup having a central opening and provided with a plurality of upwardlyinclined troughs leading from the inner edge of the cup to the cen- `ter of the opening thereof, and with which,

at their point of juncture, a fuel-supply pipe is adapted to be connected, and an inverted cup-shaped cap provided with legs resting fupon the bottom of the cup and supporting the cap above the central portion of the cup withits lower edge extending into the same, as set forth.

2. A burner, comprising an annular cup having a central opening and provided with a plurality of upwardly-inclined troughs lead` CHARLES WILLIAM SIEVE llt'l.
