CHARLES DONALDSON, 0F COUDERSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF T0 ELMER E. MYERS, OF COUDERSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA.

OIL AND GAS BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES DONALDSON, citizen of the United States, residing at Coudersport, in the county of Potter and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil and Gas Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to 011 and gaseous fuel burners and refers particularly to a novel construction of the same.

An object of this invention is to construct a burner of this type wherein a small amount of fuel is consumed in comparison with the heat produced, thereby providing a burner which is economical for practical purposes.

The invention further contemplates the construction of a burner of this character wherein an intense heat may be produced on account of the regulating means employed whereby the proper proportions of air and oil or gas may be obtained and kept at a constant proportion.

The invention has for a still further obj ect the provision of a burner of this character whlch is so constructed that the same may be employed for the combustion of gas or of oil and to provide means for regulating the admission of oxygen to the gas or oil before the combustion of the same, to thereby produce a complete burning of the fuel and a consequent intense heat.

Fora full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following de scription and accompanying drawings, in Which:-

Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section through the complete burner. Fig. 2 is a view of the same disclosing the burner in a partially closed position to limit the flow of air into the same. Fig. 3 is a detailed view of the improved valve located within the burner disclosing a fragmentary view of the body of the burner disposed thereabout. Fig. 4: is a detailed perspective view of the improved inlet pipe, and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a portion of the burner disclosing a modified form of adjusting means for controlling the air inlet. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal central sectional view through Fig. 5.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

Referring to the drawings the numeral 10 Specification of Letters Patent.

the inlet pipe 14.

Patented Sept. 13, 1910.

Serial No. 500,517.

which is provided internally with threads for engagement upon a threaded portion of The inlet pipe 15 comprises a length of pipe of common formation which is closed at its forward end by a disk 15, the disk 15 being provided with a plurality of apertures formed therethrough adajacent the edge of the same for the purpose of admitting of the flow of gas or air from the pipe 14.. The inlet pipe 14: is threaded upon its forward extremity and is provided with a sleeve 16 which is threadedly engaged therewith and which is provided with a web 17 annularly formed intermediately thereof for the purpose of providing a shoulder 18 to abut against the disk 15 and to close the aperture formed tl'ierethrough at times. For the purpose of forming a tight joint between the shoulder 18 and the disk 15 a gasket 19 is positioned upon the shoulder 18 and impinged between the same and the end of the inlet pipe 1 1. The sleeve 16 is reduced at its forward end for the reception of a circular shank 20 which carries an outwardly flared portion or disk 21 to form a valve for engagement in the forward end of the body portion 10 to close access of air thereto through the opening 11. The body portion 10 is provided forwardly of the opening 11 with an annular bead 22 against which the disk is engaged in order to substantially seal the passage into the forward end of the body portion 10. The shank 20 is centrally and longitudinally bored and threaded for the reception of a nipple 23 which is positioned therethrough and extended forwardly therefrom for the purpose of conducting the gases or air from the inlet pipe 14 into the forward end of the body portion 10. The nipple 23 is re tained in adjusted position within the shank 20 by means of a jam-nut 24 which is engaged over the forward end of the nipple 23 and impinged against the disk valve 21.

The body portion 10 is provided with an inlet pipe which admits oil into the same and which is provided with a valve 26 for regulating the flow of oil.

In the modification disclosed in Fig. 5 the inlet pipe 27 is provided with a loose sleeve 28 which is flared at its forward end and threaded internally for engagement over the rear extremity of the body portion 29 which is externally threaded and is engaged to support the forward flared end of the sleeve 28 rigidly thereto. The sleeve 28 is further provided with a set-screw which is extended inwardly through one side of the same and is engaged against the outer face of the inlet pipe 27 to retain the sleeve 28 from sliding movement. From this construction it is readily observed that when it is desired to move the inlet pipe 27 into the body portion 10 the set-screw 30 is released and the proper adjustment is made when the set-screw 30 is again tightened and causes the retention of the inlet pipe 27 in such position.

In operation when the burner is adjusted as is disclosed in Fig. 1 the gas or compressed air is introduced through the inlet pipe 14 and caused to flow through the openings or ports formed in the disk 15 and to pass centrally through the sleeve 16 and into the nipple 23 where it is discharged into the forward end of the body portion 10 causing a suction through the opening 11 and thereby feeding a quantity of air through the opening 11 into the forward end of the body portion 10. At the same time the valve 26 is opened to admit of the flow of oil through the pipe 25 into the forward end of the receptacle 10 where the oil is mixed with the air or gas which is flowing through the body portion 10 and thereby produces a mixture which will produce an intense heat upon the combustion of the same. Should it be desired to employ a burner for the burning of gas alone, the valve 26 is closed and the sleeve 12 is rotated, together with the pipe 14, to feed the inlet pipe 1st inwardly toward the bead 22 whereby the disk 21 will approach the same and reduce the opening into the forward end of the body portion 10 to limit the amount of air or to entirely close the inflow of air into the body portion 10. In this arrangement the gas is introduced through the pipe 14:, sleeve 16 and nipple 23 into the forward end of the body portion 10 where it is discharged and consumed.

It will be noted from Fig. 2 that the sleeve 16 can be regulated to increase or reduce the distance between the shoulder 18 and the disk 15 in order to limit the flow of gas or air into the nipple 23 according to the requirements and to the conditions under which the burner is subjected. When the disk is seated upon the bead 22 steam may be introduced into the inlet pipe 1l a-nd led forwardly direct to the nipple 23 'where'it is discharged and is intermingled with a quantity of hydrocarbon introduced into the body portion 10 through the pipe 25 and controlled by the valve 26.

The adjustment of the air inlet through the opening 11 may be easily obtained by the formation of the sleeve 28 disclosed in Fig. 5 and of the provision of the set-screw whereby accurate adjustment may be had. and maintained. This formation is especially applicable where it is necessary to fre quently change the adjustments of the burner to accommodate various conditions.
