HYDROCARBQN-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern: 'ISe it known that I, ADAM B. BRUNER, a citlzen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hy 'lroearbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification. rl`he object of my invention is to provide simple and reliable means to control the discharge orifice or mouth of the burner and to that end I provide means whereby the flame can be expanded or contracted at will and thereby eject into the furnace a broad flame or a narrow one or limit the width of the same as desired. I accom lish this object by means of the device descrlbed herein and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1- is a side elevation of my improved burner partly broken away and partly in section. Fig. 2- is a plan view of the burner tip with my nozzle regulating means in place thereon, the burner t1p being partly broken away. Fi 3- is an end view ofthe burner tip wlth my regulating means shown in its o en position. -F ig. 4 is a transverse centrali section of the burner tip.

The steam and oil are fed to the burner tip inthe usual well known manner, that is to say the steam is fed to the burner through pipe 1 and the oil through pipe 2 and after being vaporized and mingled together pass out through the burner tip 3 in the usual manner. The burner tip is provided with an adjustable flaring discharge port 4. This port is adapted to be opened and closed as desired by means of the swing jaws 5. These jaws are pivoted at'6 and are opened and closed by the regulating stems or rods.

7 which project backwardly out of the furnace and terminate in a handle 8 easily accessible to the fireman.

In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown the orifice in the burner tip in its broad open position in full lines, in which position it is adapted to eject into the'combustion chamber of the furnace the atomized hydrocarbon which is converted into a broader fan-sha ed fiame. In Fig. 2 I have shown in dotted ines these movable 'aws in their closed position. Pro jectin ownwardly across t-he discharge openi g I have rovided the bolt 9 which is adapted to divide the flame into two parts Specification of Letters Patent.

and at the same time to provide an 1abutment against which the swinging jaws will contact when the burner is closed. This bolt 9 also provides means whereby the flame may be divided so as to not impinge against the belly `of the boiler where mud and sediment usually accumulate in horizontal boilers, thus protecting the boiler from excessive heat at that particular l oint.

It will be manifest by t e construction shown in the accompanyin drawings and described herein that the ame discharged from the burner tip canwbe-thrown to the rightor left Orrin a fan-sha ed sheet of flame as desired ifit can be tirown into a central sheet into theenter of the combustion chamber giving the attendant ample control over the same; It will also be observed that by the operation of the jaws 5 that the burner outlet will be free of all accumulations, thus readily enablin the op` erator to cleanse the burner tip wit out the v necessity of removing the burner from theV 1. In a hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip provided with a fuel discharge slot, a plurality ot closures pivotally mounted in said slot, said closures being movable in a horizontal plane with respect to the burner discharge slot, and a separate control means for each closure.

2. In a hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip provided with a fuel discharge slot, a plurality of closures pivotally mounted within said slot, flame dividing means secured to said tip in saidl discharge slet, and means to control the movement oi said closures.

3. In a` hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip provided with. a horizontally disposed fuel discharge slot, a pair of closures pivotally mounted within said slot near the ends discharge slot, a pair of fan-shaped closures" pivotally mounted within said slot near the ends thereof, and a controlling rod` pivotally securedto each closure.

l5.. IrreJ hydrocarbon burner, a burner tip' .provided with a. fuel discharge slot, said burner ti aidapted toproject WthineJ com- 'bustion c amber, a pair of closures pivotally 5monted within said slot., and rods to control the movement of said closures, said rods v'e'z'ztending without vthe combustion chamber.
