Sneciflcation of Letters Patent.

Application filed, December 17, 1909. Serial No. 533,618.

Patented N ov; 15, 1910.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES MINDELL, citizen of the United States, residing at. Moran, in the county of Allen and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarhnm Vaporizers and Burners, of which the following is chamber or retort is used, in which the gas is aerated, burners being located immediatey beneath the generator and having.

jets. directed toward the generator so as to heat the oil and vaporize the same prior to its age to, the jets.

e object of my invention is to provide a burner of this character having an exceedingly simple and effective construction,

which may be composed of ordinary pipe fittings, which does not require alteration of v the ordin stove for the placement of the burner, an in'which the flame is directed most advantageously against the generating chamber or retort.

For a full understanding of the invention .and. themerits thereofluand to acquire a owledgc of the details of construction, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a stove showing my improved burner in place therein; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the burner; and, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of burner.

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

Referring to these figures, 2 designates a cylindrical generating chamber, preferably composed of a short length-of pipe, the ends thereof being screw-threaded, one end for engagement with a reducer cap 3 and the other for engagement with an elbow 5. The feed pipe 4 enters the smaller extremity of the reducing cap 3. The elbow 5 is provided at its under end with a reducing plug 6 which has screw-threaded engagement with a relatively small conducting pipe 7 which extends along immediately beneath and in alinement with the generating pipe 2 and at its extremity is screw-threaded into a tee 8 which in turn is connected to the opposed elbows 9, these elbows having screw-threaded engagement with parallelbui'ner pipes 10 which have caps at their ends, as catill. These burner pipes are-each provided with a pluralityof openings 12 which are so disposed upon the pipes 10 that the flame jet rom each of the,op'enin'gs is inwardly and upwardly toward the bottom of the generating pipe 2, the flames directed inwardly at such an angle that the two flames will meet and willbe spread by contact with the bottom of the enerat-ing 'The reducer. cap 3, as fiefore remarked, is connected to the feed pipe 4, which feed pipe is relatively small n roportion to, the generiting pi 2 an is adapted to extend out througg one of the side valves ofa stove. of an usualoonstruction. The extremity of e pipe is 0011'- nected with a globevalve 12 or other suitable valve having the valve spindleli whereby the valve may be operated. A conducting ipe 13 leads to an oil reservoir which may located at an'yesui'table point,but should be located from six; to ei t feet away from the stove andat aosuitab height above the stove or burnerto provide for a proper feedingof the oil. The-valve 12 is tobe soregulated that only a limited supply of oil will pass-through the pipe 4 and into the generating chamber 2 ,so that the oil, when it reaches the generating-chamber, will pass along the bottom thereof and in sucha shallow stream that it will be vaporized before it passes into prevent small quantities of unvaporized oil from passiiig into the pipe 7 and thence into the pipe 10, detaining said oil until it comes vaporized. Any slight excess of Oll not immediately vaporized will flow in the elbow 5 and will drip into the lower portion of the elbow 5 and be dammed by the plug 6.

It will be'seen that this form of my invention is extremely simple, may be cheaply made, and may be easily ap lied.- It does not require any supporting ase, nor does the burner have to be permanently fitted within the stove. The opposed pipes 10 act as a base for the support of theburner within the stove. These pipes may rest upon the grate of the stove, orthe bottom ate may be removedand the pipe 4 extended into the stove at the point where the extremity r the pipe 7. It is to be'noted thatithe pipe? v of the grate bar usually projects. The air from the usual draft slides of the stove gives a sutlicient draft. It is also to be noted that the elbow 5 forms part ofthe generating chamber. so that the oil, from the moment of its entranoe'into the reducer 3, to the time it passes out of the reducer 6, is subjected to vaporizing heat.

In Fig. 3 I show another form of my invention in which the arrangement is practically the same as that described, except that it is double. In thisfigure, 2 designates the generating chamber which, at itsextremities has screw-threaded engagement with the returned bends or elbows 5" which at their extremities are rovided with the reducer plug 6 from whlch pass the pipes 7*, to the extremitiesof. which are attached the tees 8, the elbows 9 and the parallel burner pipes 10, these pipes-having perforations in them, by which the jets of flame will be directed against the generator 2. The generator is connected to a feed pipe 13 andlarly applicable to cook stoves, though I do not wish to limit it to that.

In starting the burner, ashes, or other absorbent. materialupon the grate bars of the stove may be moistened with oil and thenignited so that a flame will be generated which will surround the vaporizing chamber and heat the same until the oil admitted thereto becomes vaporized, whereupon this oil will be ignited at the jets, as before described, and from that time on until the oil is burnedofi", there willbe a constant generation of vapor in'the vaporizing chamber and. a constant supply of this vapor to the jets. c

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

1. A hydrbcarbon burner includinga rela tively large cylindrical generating chamber connected at one end to a relatively small feed pipe, an elbow forming a continuation of the other end of the generating chamber and extending to a point below the same, an intermediate small pipe extending from the lower end of'the elbow parallel to the gen erating chamber and beneath the same, a T on the extremity of the intermediate small pipe, and perforated burner pipes connected to the ends of the T and extending toward the other end of the intermediate small pipe and parallel to the same. v

2; An oil burner of the class described,

3. A hydrocarbon burner of the character described, comprising a cylindrical generating chamber, a relatively small feed pipe entering said chamber, rovided with a valve, a return bend attached to the end of the generatin chamber and having the same size as sai chamber, said return bend extending downward to a'point below the, generating chamber, a plug closing the lower end of the return bend, a conductlng ipe inserted into said plug and extending :ilong beneath the generating chamber, a tee carried upon the end of sa1d pipe, opposed elbows connected to the tee, and burner pipes" extending toward the return bend from said elbows,

said burner pipes being provided each with a plurality of perforations directed tJWard the generating chamber.

4. In a burner of the character described, a relatively large cylindrical generator, a supply pipe connected to said generator, opposed return bends attached to the opposite extremities of the ge'nerator and extending down therefrom to a point belowthe same, 'plu 's closing the'ends of the return bends, sai return bends having the same size as the generator, a relatively small conducting pipe extending from the end of each of the return -bends, in alinement with. the generator, and reversely extending opposed parallel burner pipes connected-to the end of eacll of the conducting pipes, said burner pipes bein provided with perforations directed towar the generator.

5. A hydrocarbon burner, including a relatively large generating chamber, an inlet pipe leading directly into the end of the chamber, the inlet pipe being in alinement with said chamber, an elbow of approximately the same diameteras the generating chamber attached to the end of the generating chamber opposite to the inlet pipe and extending downward to a point below the generating chamber, a relatively small pipe connected to the elbow and extending parallel to the generating chamber, elbows on the end of said pipe, and parallel burner pipes attached to said last named elbow and extending toward the first named elbowand each provided with perforations along its whole extent directed toward the generating chamber, said burner pipes acting as supports for the burner.

6 A hydrocarbon burner including a generating chamber connected at one end to a feed pipe, an elbow forming acontinuation of the other end of the generating chamber and extending downward to a point below the same, an intermediate pipe extending from the lower end of the elbow approximately parallel to the generating chamber underneath the same, a T on the extremity of the intermediate pipe, and perforated burner pipes connected to the endsof the T and extending toward the other end of the intermediate pipe and parallel to the same, said burner pipes being thereby adapted to'support the burner.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
