To ali/'whom tm/ay concern:l f

Be it known that-I, CHARLES A. HAMMEL, a citizenv of the'United States, residing at llos Angeles,'in the county of Los Angeles and State v`o`f-Calitornia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of my invention are to provide a hydrocarbon-burner composed of a number ol parts' easil f assembled and disassembled,-

in which -dup icate parts may be substituted for any of the parts injured or destroyed by continuousf'use or otherwise; to provide a burner tl'ia-tl will practically atomize all the rcrude oil fed'thereto, and thereby Aeconomize in the use 'of oil and at the same time produce the'largest amount of heat therefrom..

Afurther object is to divide the steam into two jets, the one being directed at right angles against theother, both jets beinei regulated by one'supply-valve and the oil icing fed to vtheburner between the two jets of steam.y

I accomplish these objectsby means ofthe device described herein and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure `1 isa perspective view. of a hydrocarbon-burner embodying my invention, the oil andsteam supply `pipes being broken away. AFig. 2' is a vertical section of my burner, taken on line 2 2 ot' Fig.. 5, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow-head thereon.; -Fig. 3 is a vert-ical vlongitudinal section taken. of the burner on the line indicated by line 3 3 of Fig 6 looking in the direction. indicated by 'the arrow-heads thereon. Fig-4 is a -perspectiveview of the core or centralpart of .the burner removed from thefouter shell or casing. Fig. 5 isa transverse section of the device, taken on line 55 ol" F ig. 2, looking in the direction in- Fig. 6 is a transverse section ofthe burner, taken on line 6 6 of Fig; 2, looking. downwardly in the direction indicatedk by the arrow-heads marked thereon. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a modified form of my burner adapted for use in a locomotive-engine. F ig. 8 is an elevation of the ymodified form with theface-plateremoved. Fig. 9 is a vertical central section takenv on line 9 9 of Fig.

In the drawings, A represents the internal member or core, centrally disposed in the outer casing or shell B.

arranged to register with a screw-threaded This central core is vprovided with a screw-threaded aperture A',

through which oil is fed to the burner, the l usual regulating-valves for regulating the quantity of oil and steam fed to the burner uot being shown. This opening A forms an `)il-receiving chamber and terminates in the mixing-chamber K, from which the vertical oil-supply channel D in turn communicates at. its lower e'nd with-the discharge-orifice E, through which the combined oil and steam is ejected into the combustion-chamber.

. The bottom of the core is provided Awith the cavity A, which forms a steamreceiving and distributingchamber disposed immediately above the screw-threaded opening B in thev shell, into which the steam-supply pipe F is screwed. Extending from this distributing-ehamber upwardly, one on ea'ch side thereof and on each side of the mixing-chamber, are the two upwardly-extending steamsupply ducts G, which communicate with 'the cavity H, which forms a steam-spreading chamber, in which the steam is s read out and passes downwardly throu h tiie narrow semicircular opening I, (see ig. 5,) formed at this point between the core and the casing B, into the mixing-chamber and commingles with the oil therein, from which it asses downwardly on its way to the disc largeoriiice E.

By providing a downwardly-extending steam-duct from the spreadin -chamber above to the mixing-chamber be ow, which will impinge at right angles upon the steamjet issuing fiom the bottom spreadingehamber toward the discharge-orifice, thus one jet being directed against the other at right angles and the oil being fed between them will completely mix the steam and oil and Form a combustible gas before leaving the discharge-orifice of the burner.

'In'addition to this means of feeding steam to the burner I have rovided a narrow supplemental steam-disc arge orifice J, leading directlyv fromthe bottom of the steam-distributing chamberto the discharge-orifice. This orifice J being narrow and somewhat .limited in capacity will supply only a part of the steamf'ed to the burner. The steam passj D on its way to the discharge-orifice. i They combined ell'ect of the feedingsteam through two orifices l argl J, acting on the oil, will cre- IOO IIO

tection to the bottom of the discharge-orifice f from the wearing action of the foreign matter-such as boiler compound, sand, &c.-in the combined steam and oil as it comes downwardly from the mixing-chamber and prolongs thereby the lifetime as well as the efficiency of the burner.

The form of burner shown in Figs. l to 6,

inclusive, is adapted to throw outwardly a` fan-shaped blaze, while the form of burner shown in Figs. `'Z' to 8, inclusive, is adapted for use in a locomotive-boiler,wherein a longitudi- J nal flame is required and is especially adapted for use in locomotive-boil ers.

' Having described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An oil-burner provided with an outer shell having a central cylindrical bore therein extending from the top thereof nearly to the bottom, said shell adapted to receive a cylindrical core, the said shell having a screwthreaded opening in the back thereof for the reception of an oil-supply pipe, and a screwthreaded opening in-the bottom thereof for the reception-of a steam-supply pipe, and a discharge-orifice extending outwardly from the bottom thereof, in combination with a cylindrical core having a recess in the bottom thereof to form a distributing-chamber; a recess close to the top thereof to form a spreading-chamber; ducts leading from the distributing-chamber Vto the spreadin chamber, the said core being provided wit a central opening or recess to 4form a mixing-chamber, a portion of the said core being cut away be'- low the spreading-chamber and extending to the mixing-chamber to leave an opening between that portion of the core and the out'er shell when the core is in place in the shell for the passa e downwardly o the steam from,

the sprea ing-chamber to t e mixing-chamber, the said core having a larger cut extending from the mixing-chamber to the discharge-'o ening to form a passage-wa y for the passage ownwardly of the combined oil and steam from the mixing-chamber to the discharge-orifice.

oil-burner having a discharge-oriice; an oil-receiving chamber; a spreadingv chamber; a steam-receiving chamber; ducts leading from the steam-receiving chamber to the spreading-chamber and an opening for the passage of steam from the steam-spreading chamber to a mixing-chan'il'ier; a mixingchamber communicating at one end with an oil-supply pipe and having at the other end thereof a downwardly extended opening communicating with the discharge-orifice.

8. An oil-burner provided with a casing, a

cylindrical core havingrecesses formed there-` in for a receiving-chamber, a mixing-chamber and a spreading-chamber; the receivingchamber communicating directly with the steam-supply and having ducts extending therefrom and communicating with the spreading-chamber; an orifice extending outwardly and communicating with the discharge-orifice, an orifice extending downwardly from the spreading-chamber into the mixing-chamber and a larger orifice extending downwardly from the mixing-chamber to the discharge-orifice, the said mixing-chamber being in communication with the oil-sup- 4. An oil-burner comprising a cylindrical shell and a cylindrical core adapted to fit thereinto, the shell having a cylindrical bore therein extending from the top to near the bottom thereof, on the side thereof a screwthreaded opening for the reception of an oilpipe, on the bottom thereof a screw-threaded opening for a steam-pipe, and a slit in the face thereof to form a discharge-orifice; the cylindrical core adapted to iit into the bore of said shell and having in the bottom thereof a recess to form a receiving-chamber; ducts extending .from the top of said chamber'to a slit in the upperportion of the core to form a spreading-chamber; and having also a cutaway portion on the bottom thereof to form ,an opening. communicating with the discharge-orifice, the said receiving-chamber communicating when in place in the shell with a steam-supply pipe; and a cut-away portion of said core extending from the spreading-chamber downwardly to a mixingchamber; the mixing-chamber centrally dis- -posed in saidcore and communicating with the oil-supply; and an enlarged cut-away IOO IIO

portion extending from the mixing-chamber to the bottom of the core to leave a passageway for the passage of combined steam and oil from the mixing-chamber to the dischargeorifice.

In witness thatl claim the foregoing I have f
