WILFRID CHAUSS, OF LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-FOURTH TO LANDON P., SMITH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., AND ONE-HALF TO GUY OSBORN, OF MOUNT VERNON, NEW YORK.

VAPOR-BURNER.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, l/VILFRID CHAUss, a citizen of the United States, and residing at' Long Island City, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor- Burners, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which itvappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to vapor burners, torches and other devices of this class which burn hydro-carbons; and the object thereof is to provide an improved burner or torch of this class which may be used as a paint burner, as a heater for soldering irons and other articles, and for similar purposes, and which may also be used as an illuminating burner or lamp; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in a device of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure l is a side elevation of one form of my improved vapor burner or torch, part of the construction being in section, Fig. 2 a transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l, Fig. 3 a similar section on the line 3-3 of Fig. l, Fig. 4 a view similar to Fig. l,

but showing a modification and only a part of the device, and ,-Fig. 5 a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4l.

Iu the practice of my invention, I pro-` vide a can or receptacle a of the usual or any preferred form and construction andv designed to hold the hydro-carbons to be burned and with which the burner Z) is con" nected. The burner b as shown in Figs. l to 3 inclusive comprises a tube b2 open at one end as shown at b3 and closed at the other as shown at b4.

Vithin the open end portion of the tube (7)2 and extending longitudinally thereof and preferably through more than y one-half thereof and forming a longitudinal partition therein is a casing c which is oblong in cross section as clearly shown in Fig. 3 and which divides the said Part of the tube b2 into twolongitudinal flues or passages b5 Specification of Letters Patent.

and Z2, and within the casing c is .placed wire mesh or gauze c2, and the interior of said casing c 1n which the wire mesh or gauze .is placed forms. a vaporizing and super- .heating chamber.

is open, and the tube d extends through the inner end of the casing c and ranges longitudinally of the top portion of the tube b2 and adjacent to the closed end b* of said tube b2 thetube d is provided with a coupling head Z2 having two extensions Z3 which range downwardly and outwardly and with eachk of which is connected a needle valve device e. The needle valve devices epass through the closed end b* of the tube b2 and range longitudinally and centrally of the fiues or passages b5 and b in the main tube b2 of the burner, and said needle valve devices are provided at their inner ends with ports e2 which are controlled by needle valves e3 in the usual manner.

In the closed end portion of the main tube (7)2 of the burner, is placed a partition which corresponds in position with the casing c and forms an extension thereof, and

the partition f divides the closed end portion' arranged ports 'or passages 67, and placed on said tube b2 is a band g having corresponding ports or passages, and this construction forms an air register device by vwhich air may be admitted to the lues or passages b5 and 56 in any desired quantity,

and by which the said admission of air may be entirely cut off whenever desired.

The burner proper is connected with the can a by a tube h which is also filled with wire or similar material 02 and extends through the tube b2 .of the burner and into the inner end portion of the casing c which forms the vaporizing and super-heating chamber, and the tube h is preferably provided with a small pan or receptacle z' in which, in practice, is placed a small amount of liquid hydro-carbon which is ignited and the heat of which will generate a suiiicient amount of vapor to start the burner and in lighting the burner proper a match or other igniter is applied to the open end of the tube b2.

In the operation of this device the vapor passes into the inner end of the casing c which forms a generator and super-heater and through said casing as indicated bythe arrows m and longitudinally of said casing and into the open end of the tube Z through which it passes to the needle valve devices e by which it is dischai'ged into the iues or passages b5 and Z1, froni which it is discharged at the open end of the tube b2. It will be understood that in this operation the casing c and the Wire mesh or gauze therein are highly heated, and this heats the vapor to the requisite degree and the Wire mesh oi' .gauze in the casing c also serves as a strainer and prevents any foreign substances in the hydro-carbon from passing into the tube cZ.

lWhen it is desired to use the device as a paint burner or breainei` and for any purpose inWhich a high degree of heat without illumination is desired the band g is turned :so as to admit the requisite amount of air to the flues or passages b5 and o, but when it is desired to use the device as an illuininator, said band is turned so as to cut ott the flow of air into said fines or passages. y

In practice, .the can u may be provided especially When a large device of this class is required With an air puinp j, but said pump forms no part of this invention.

In the construction shown Figs. 4t and 5 I employ a burner which comprises a tube 71;., the end 702 of Which is open and preferably provided with a discharge nozzle 7e, and connected with the tube 7i, .is a tube Z which vranges longitudinally `of the bottom of the tube 7c and in the direction of the end 7a2 thereof and passes upwardly through the bottom of the tube 7c into the interior thereof, and then extends longitudinally of thebottom of said tube 7c :and Within said tube to the end V7a4 thereof Where it connects with the head 705 of a needle valve device 706. The head 705 of the needle valve device 7c ranges diametrically of the end 7a* of the tube 7c, and the end 7a4 of the tube 7: is open at each side thereof as shown at 7cT in Fig. 5, and the part Z2 of the tube Z communicates with the interior lof the head .75 of the needle.

valve device k6, and said head is provided ivith a port or passage 708 through which, in the operation of the burner, vapor is discharged into the tube 7c and said needle valve device 766 is controlled by a needle valve m inthe usual manner. The tube 7L and the tube Z and that part thereof Within the tube 7c :of the burner are filled With Wire gauze or similar material as shown at c2, and that part of the tube 7c adjacent to the head .765 A.of the needle valve device is provided With annularly arranged ports or passages 0 designed to admit air to said tube. This form of construction is intendedy for use only as a torch, or as a paint breainer or burner or for other purposes where a high degree of heat is desired. The tube 7L may also be provided with a pan i as shown in Fig. 1 if desired, and in the opera-tion of this form of construction the vapor passes through the tube 7i into the tube Z and through the part Z2 of the tube Z within the tube 7c and longitudinally vof said tube 7c into the head /c5 of the needle valve device 7c, from Which it is discharged into the tube 7c, from which it flows through the nozzle 77"' or through the open end 7a2 of the tube 7c Vvwhere' it is ignited in the usual inani'ier.. Iii-this opera-tion the vapor is highly heated inthe tube Z2 which forms .a .generator or super-heater, and the requisite amount of vapor` is .continually discharged into the tube 7c as long as" the .device is in use.

The construction shown in `Figs. 4; and 5 of the accompanying drawing is not claimed in this case but togetherv With other features of construction is made the subject of an` other .application liled by me on the 3rd day .of August, 1.909, Serial No. 511,013.`
