Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1908.

Application filed March 11- 1907- Serial No. 361-641 the following is a specification.

The mainobject of this invention is to pro vide an effective burner of simple construction in which the hydrocarbon is quickly and thoroughly vaporized, and a further object is to provide means in connection with the burner for generating steam and mixing the same with the vaporized hydrocarbon to intensify the combustibleness of said vapor.

One embodiment of theinvention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but the invention is not limited to the precise de-' tails of construction shown.

In said drawings-Figure 1 is a top plan view; Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line a:m Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a'horizontal section on the line g y Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a view in front elevation. v

In the several views 1 designates the base portion of the retort comprising preferably an integral circular casting 2 having formed therein an oil vaporizing chamber 3 and an annular steam-generating chamber 4 separate from and extending around said chambar 3. The casting 2 is provided atone side steam as they are discharged. The top of crating chamber 4.

with anupwardly projecting boss or column 5 containing an oil duct 6 leading into the oil vaporizing chamber 3, and a water duct 7 for the admission of water to the steam-gen- The boss 5 also contains a vaporized oil outlet 8 from the oil chamber 3 and a steam outlet 9 from the steam-generating chamber 4. The outlet 8 for the vaporized-oil is provided with a curved nozzle 10 having its discharge end directed downwardly, and the steam outlet 9 is provided-with a similar nozzle 11.

The discharge end of the oil vapor nozzle may be flattened, as shown at 11, to spread the vaporized oil, and the discharge ends of both nozzles are arranged closely together to more effectively mix the vaporized oil and the circular casting 2 is formed with a shallow recess 12 which is wholly concaved in cross section, and the discharge nozzles 10 and 11 are so located with reference to the concaved surface as to discharge the vapors at one side thereof.

13 designates afcover plate or stove lid from which the part 5 is suspended, said cover plate and the upper surface of thebase portion 2 forming a partially inclosed space into which the vaporized fluids are discharged from the nozzles 10 and 11 and in which the combustion takes place. In the instance shown the cover plate has the form of a stove lid, adapting the device for use with an ordinary cook stove. The plate 13 is provided with a central opening 14 directly beneath the discharge nozzles 10 and. 11.

15 designates a curved flange or, baflie plate formed on the under side of-the cover plate 13 and extending in proximity to the concaved surface forming the recess 12 at the side thereof opposite the point of discharge ther einto of the nozzles; 10 and 11. The baffle-plate 15 thus projectsthe burning vapors against-the walls of the oil'charnber 3. and steamenerating chamber 4 and also against the oss.5 containing the inlets and outlets of said chambers.

16 designates a smal baffle plate pivoted to the top plate at 1 6" and projecting into and partial y across the opening 14.- The plate 16 is provided with a projection 16 beyond the pivot 16' to releasably engage a catch 16 to hold the plate in elevated position. Oil is supplied to the duct 6 through a pipe 17 having an elbow 17, which latter passes through the to plate 13 and is threaded to the'boss 5. Water is supplied to the duct 7 by means of a pi )e 18 provided with an elbow 18, which also passes through the top plate 13 and is threaded to the boss 5.

The burner may be constructed without the addition of the'mean's for' supplying steam and it is manifest that the invention is not limited in its application to a cook stove only but that it may be so modified as to adapt it to other stoves or furnaces.

In use the smallbaflie plate 16 is released and permitted to drop out of the Way, and a sm al quantity of oil is supplied to the cavity 1'2 and ignited. The-parts are thus initially heated, so that when oil and water are admitted to the retort the necessar va orization will take place. The small ba e plate having been restored to its position across the opening in the cover )late, the, vaporized oil and steam are .then ischarged -into. the combustion chamber and thoroughly mixed and burned. The small bafis discharged into the combustion chamber. The baflie plate-also retards the draft towards the chimney and causes a thorough dissemination, of the heat through. the stove, thereby avoiding much waste of fuel. It will also be observed that the concaved surface forming the recess 12 cooperates with the haflie-plate 15 and the under surface of the cover-plate 13 to set up circuitous currentsof. the vapors between said arts and cause the thorough commmghng t ereof with air.

What '1 claim and desire to secure by Lett'ers Patent is: I

1. In a vapor. burner, the combination of an integral casting comprising a base portion provided in its upper surface wi'th a recess whollyconcaved 1n cross section, an 01lvaporizingchamber WlthlIl the base portion and an upwardly-projecting portion or column at one side of the base portion and containing both a fluid passage-way to the cham.

be! and a return passage-way from the-same,

a cover-plate supporting said casting and having an opemn over said recess, a flange 15 on the cover-plate atthe edge of said re css opposite said column to cooperate with said concaved surface and cover-plate for creating oomrningling currents of vapors and to deflect the burning vapor towards the walls of said chamber and passageeways, and a nozzle connected with said return assa'ge way and having its d scharge end in me with sald openlng in the cover-plate and at the side of said recess opposite said flange.

2.1 In a vapor burner, the combination of an integral casting comprising a base portion' provided in-its, upper surface with a re-.

cess wholly concaved in cross section, anoilvaporizing chamber and a steam-generating chamber .within the base portion, and an upwardly-projecting portion or column at one side of the base portion and containing independent fluid passage-ways to and return passage-ways from said ehambers,a coverplate supportingsald casting and havmg an opening over said recess, a flange 15 on the" cover-plateatthe edge of said recess opposite said column to cooperate with the concaved surface and the cover-plate for create ing commingling currents of vapors and to deflect the burnlng-vaportowards the walls of said chambers andpassage'ways, and nozzles connected with said return passages and having vtheirdiseharge ends 111,11I16 with said openings'in the cover-plate jand at the side I 0 said recess opposite s'aid-flange.
