M. G.. LEWIS* LIQ-Um FUEL HEATER BURNER.

Wl TNESSES 3 1 the .o'il or liquid before it untiont through tho suitable iping, as n't i) and il, and being lo cated un er the central art of the vapori?,- ing-chamber. The ipe ie located opposite the inlet-pipe li am opens out of a chamber Fmliieh communicates throughout ite length with the upper part of the vnporlitinir-citano` ber whether the vaporizing-chnmher hooi the mild orwlngetl or other pattern, the chamber F being located above tlo .op oi' the vnporin ing-chamber.

According to ono part of niy present invon tionl provide the tup of thu vnporiziug surmounting chamber with nv ciinnlgor l", lo 'rated abovctlir inter-unl pnrlitioun, tho in-' turion' of thin ohallwr l-`- lining open nl' bottou|,'nud therefore-in coin-munirntion with ih o interior of the vu ioriziug'rhnulhur A.

' ingl menno The chamber F and the detlector G are intended to he applied tot-he vaporizing-chambowel whatever exterior forni that may be.

ln the forni of vnporlzing-chamber shown in Figs. l and 2 l have found that if it he made large enough fornse underatenmboilers,for

inetnn'ce, the iiaine passen up around the vaporizng-ohnmber and ont through the exterior tubes of the boiler, leaving the interior tnhon prnotioniiyfree of llame, or if the 4boiler orlotllcr vessel has no tube, thon tite central portion of the bottom of the vessel ie not atroci: h); the llame. Narrow channels or passage-ways' throughthe vaporizingchamber have been found wholly inadequate toproduce the desirable uniform dietribntion oi' llame upon the bottom of tho vessel located over the houter. Therefore I make' tite vaporiziugelnnnber withfour or more radial wings, as shown in Fig. 3, extending from a common central part and leaving open spaces, as at ll ll, between them. The

wings are hollow and constitute portions of `the vaporizi|\g-chninber,connuunicnting with the ventral portion of said chamber. Ihe open spaces between the wings maybe made of greater onions extent inproportion to the nl'ingn, according to the work required of tient. to paas up between them and near to` the conter of the burner, and the wings compel tho remaining portions to move fartherawny from thoeenter before theyoan'reach the bottoni of the boiler or other vessel. This .construction also enables nio to reduce the `izo of the thune ns occasion may require without concentrating itagainst anypurtictr lar point of the-bottom of theobjeet to be hunted. 'lho rudlatiugwlngs are gradually widened from their inner to their outer ends, nu indicated, so that nt their outer portions they afford more room for the .oxpnneion of vtheir contents than ntlthcir inner portions` and more exterior surface tobe heated. 'lhus when the llame is greatly increased the 'lhoy permit a portion of the limne roo inn-nor responds in furnishing n eorrespond- 'lho improved burner may be mounted in connection with the object tobe heated in any ninnw lenired.

lieing conntrneted and arranged eiibstantinlly iu accordance with the foregoing explanations the improvements have been found to answer nil the purposes or objects of the invention hereinbel'ore alluded tof llnving now fully described my invention, what I eluiln un newlhereiu, and desire to eoeuro by Letters ln-tcnt, iii-- 1.- in n burner oi' the ohnrnotor herein set forth, 'the' vapotiziug-chninber supplied with n numborof interior partitioneA oeated tween the lult-t nntlmttletgnid vnporiningchamber being surmounted by asecond chamn ber communicating with the interior of the vaporizing-chamber and affording a free passage for gas or vapor above the partitions and above the top of the vaporizing-chamber, for the purposes set forth.

2. In a burner of the character herein set forth, the vaporizing-chamber supplied with common central portion, leaving open spaces between the said wings for passage of flame, the wings being gradually widened from their inner to their outer ends, substantially as shown and for the purposes set forth.

4E. In a burner of the character herein set forth, the combination with the vaporizing-- chamber having radial wings projecting :from a common central portion and leaving open spaces between the wings for the passage of iame, of internal partitions extending into the wings, substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
