in the county of Los i-ingcles and St: of

California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarboil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

Gar-invention relates to a burner designed to burn crude petroleum by the aid of steam or compressed air or other exnansihle iiuid; and the object thereof is to provide an cilicient burner for that purpose. We accomplish this object by the burner described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in scction of our improved burner. Fig. 2 is a plan of the hurner tip. Fig. is a central orizontal section of the oil chamber of the tip. .l-igs. 4 and 5 are details of the steam, oil and separating plate.

In the drawings it is the casing of the oil distributing chamber B of the burner tip which is connected by the pipe (7 with a suitable oil supply, not shown. On the pipe C is a regulating valve 1) by means of which the supply of oil passing to the humor tip is regulated. The oil pipe is screwed into the rear end oi the casing and is connected by channels E-with the distributing chamber. These channels are preferably bored through the material of which the casing is con structed which is preferably cast iron or steel. The top and. bottom of the distributing chamber is closed by porlorated plates l which will be called thc oil. closure plates.

These plates have one or more perforations l* for t e passage of oil out of the chambers.

The size and number of these perforations are regulated by the capacity desired. Above and below these top and bottom plates are the spreader plates G. Above and below these spread-er plates are the plates H which we will call steam closure plates which form one portion of the casing of the steam or atomizing fluid chambers 1 of which there are two, one above and one belovi the oil chamber. These steam plates are cut out in the center to form steam ports J. These steam plates extend outWa-rcly as far as the oil plates. The oil, spreader and steam plates are preferably riveted together 0y a rivet passing through a hole K shown in Figs. 4 and 5 in the rear portion of the plates.

wre L of the steam chambers are Specification of Letters Patent.

threadcd'i or the reception of pipes Ill. and ii which are connected to pipe 0 whichleads to a suitable supply of steam or other cxpanr sible fluid not shown. The pipes M and l are provided with regulating cocks P and by means of which the steam. to the respective steam. chambers inclependenti re nlated. A cock on the pipe 0 enahles t operator to cut-oil the entire supply of r cam. theretluough. For a. burner designed for a 250 horse power bo' inch oeriorations in each plategi're satisfactory results.

In the drawings we haw shown the oil chamber casing tapering toward the front as we deem this the best construction, because the flame can be thrown u .vmrdly by admitting more steam into the lower steam chamber than in the upper on e, or downwardly by admitting more steam into the upper chamber than'in the lower chamber, or can be thrown centrally by admittin the same quantity into each. i desired iowever, the Faces-of the oil chamberma be made parallel. The steam and oil chambers and the "plates are securely united by a bolt S which passes therethrough and is provided with a nut 'l on its end. It will be seen that by this construction we have provided two steam jets, or two jets of air or other expansible fluid for the atomization oi' the oil and that the oil is delivered into the path oi two streams o'l e.:-

- small tire is desired the steam. may be cut oil entirely from one of the steam cl'iambers and the oil will only issue out oi the oil rharubcr into the path of the :eam iron). the active steam cl'ian'iber, thereby enabling us to burn a Very small tire. We have also found in pra mice that the extension oi the steam plate as far as the oil plate and by ha \ing the sn'eadcr plate wideningtoward the front that there is a suction on the oil from the oil chamber which does not exist when the steam chamber terminates before the oil ports are reached as shown in our Patent No. 712143 of date Oct. 28bit. 1902. It will also be seen that the oil steam and spreader plates are each indenendentl removable so that the spread of name or on acit of the. burner can be quickly changeu changing ii ii" compressor: air is us;

being separated at their front portions and 5 provider with orts, the ports in the oil chamber being in front of the ports in the fluid chamber and being adapted to discharge oil into the path oi the fluid from the fluid chambers at substantially right angles to the flow of said fluid.

v 2. In aliydrocarbon burner two independently controlled expansible lluid chambers,

and an oil chamber between said fluid chani- I here, all of said chambers having ports so located that the oil from the oil chamber is dischar ed into the paths of the l'luid from the fluid chambers within the burner substantially right angles thereto.

3. In a hydrocarbonburner an oil chamber provided with ports in two sides thereof; independently regulated expansible fluid chambers having ports in the rear of the ports of the oil chamber adapted to discharge the fluid therefrom across the path of the oil issuing from the oil chamber.

4. In a hydrocarbon burner an oil chamber provided with a closure having ports therein; an expansible lluid chamber provided with a closure having a nort therein at the rear of the ports of the oil chamber and adapted to discharge fluid across the ports from the oil chamber; said closure of said fluid chamber extending parallel with the closure of the oil chamber and to point beyond the oil ports and beim i'e1novable;.a spreader plate between the clbsure of the oil and fluid chambers in contact with both, said spreader plate being cut out atits central front )ortion as described whereby said oil and li uid are discharged from a common outlet.

l i l 5. In a hydrocarbon burner an oil chamber having the top and bottom tapering toward the front; closure )lates having ports therein secured to said 0 amber; expansible fluid chambers one above and one below said oil chamber, said fluid chambers having closure plates with ports therein, said ports being back of the ports of the oil chamber and being adapted to discharge fluid across said oil ports, the closure plates of-the (511 and fluid chambers at each side of the oil chamber havin their adjacent outside surfaces parallel; s )reader plates between said oil and fluid chamber closure plates.

6. In a hydrocarbon burner an oilchambcr wider at the rear than at the front; closure plates having ports therein removable; securedio said chamber; independently regdlated eXp-ansible fluid chambers one above and one below said oil chamber; closure )lates removably secured to said expansible uid chambers; said last plates having ports therein back of the ports of the oil chamber and bein 1 parallel to the closure plates of said oil chain er; spreader platesbetween said oil and fluid chamber closure plates.

7. In a hydrocarbon burneran oil chamber; a closure plate havin ports therein for said chamber; an ex )ansib e fluid chamber; a removable closure p l her having a port therein at the rear of the oil chamber ports, said closure plates extending to the front of the burner and being parallel; a spreader plate between said closure plates said spreader plate being cut out at its central front portion as described, whereby said oil and fluid are discharged from a common outlet.

In witness that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto subscribed our names this 14th day of May/1904.
