To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, CUR'ns C. LILLIBRIDGE, a citizen of the United States, residi at Hutchinson, in the county of Reno and tate of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in OilBurners; and I do declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description 0 the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to same.

My invention relates to hydrocarbon burners and more particularly to those which may be readily installed in connection with stoves and furnaces, without making an serious changes in the construction thereo The invention relates more particularly to devices of this character in which the burner is located beneath the delivery end of an air supply neck, and one object is to provide a nove rm of sup'orting bracket for the burner provided with means for. receiving an overflow from suchburner.

her objects are to provide the supporting bracket with means for properly centering1 theburner beneath the air supply neck an to provide said burner with nec ing means for always ositioning its overflow spout in pro er re ation with the overthe bracket.

iliary air heater w ich serves as a support both for the air inlet neckand the burner su orting bracket.

ith the foregoing and minor objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of partshereinafter described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2is a vertical section on of line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fi 3 is a vertical transverse section on the hue of Fig. 2. I Fig. 4 is a horizontal section as indicated by line 44 of Fig. 2, with the burner removed from its sup orting bracket.

In-the drawings a ove briefly described, the numeral 1 designates a late ada ted to be substituted for the usual coaling 001 of a stove or furnace, I although he understood that the parts hereinafter described might be mounted otherwise than the plane which it appertains to make and use the engagan intense heat.

on said plate 1, if desired. Secured to the inner side of plate 1, by bolts or the like 2, is an air pre-heating casin 3 having an outlet opening 4 and a number of air inlets 5 controlled by a damper 6.. ,A substantially conical air inlet neck, 7 extends horizontally from the casing 3 and has its larger end secured by bolts or other preferred fasteners" 8, to said casing, said bolts preferably passing through lateral ears 9 w1th WhlCh ,the neck 7 is provided. The

smaller end of the neck 7 turns downwardl indicated at 10 and a burner 11 is positloned under said end. The fuel may well be supplied to this burner through a tube l2 passing through the plate 1 and extending through the neck 7. I

Theburner 11 may va in construction but I prefer to employ t e details shown. An outer pan 13 is provided having-a solid bottom '14 and an upwardly flared side wall 15, and loosely received within said pan 13, is a similar an 16 preferably having an annular rib 17 isposed'directly beneath the wall of the neck end 10. The rib 17 tra s a quantity of oil to be used in starting t e burner. Any overflow from the an 16 will be caught in the pan and t us the oil will burn not only in the an 16, but between this an and the wal 15, producing Any overflow from pan 15 takes (place through a spout 18 with which sai pan is equipped, such overflow being discharged into a relatively small pan 19 carried b a burner supporting bracket 20.'

The brac et 20 is provided with a horizontal portion 21 upon which the burner 11 rests, and with an annular rib 22 to properly positiongsaid burner, and to insure that the overflow spout 18 shall be roperly disposed over the pan 19, the-edge of the wall 15 is provided with a pair of upstanding lugs 23 which straddle the lower portion of the neck 7 as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. I

The burner engagin parts 21 and 22 of the bracket 20 are pre erabl of the annular form shown, although shou d the burner be of other shape, these arts will be correspondingly changed. etween the portions 21 and 22 and the pre-heating casin 3, the bracket 20 inch1des a horizontal, p ate-like portion 24 which forms the bottom of the pan 19, and a pair .of, horizontal arms 25 extend oppositely from' said pan, these arms 2 and 4.

For carryin of! the overflow from the pan 19, a suita le pipe 27 may be provided and although this pipe by preference extends through the casing 3 and the plate 1, it might be otherwise located, if desired.

By emplo in the construction shown, and described, t e fievice may be inexpensively manufactured andeasily installed, yetwill be highly efficient and in everyway desirable. The oil burning at the burner 11 heats the air inlet neck 7 and all other adjacent parts so that the incoming air and fuel are well heated to produce best-results, the air being initiall casing 3. Any over ow from pan 16 is caught within pan 13 andif the latter overflows the fuel is caught by the pan 19 and discharged through the pipe 27-.

. In theoperation of my invention, the pan 16'becomes quickly heated in the combustion of the oil dripping from the pipe 12, as. does the air pre-jheating casing 3. Instant volatilization of the oil therefore takes place,

which with the 'pre-heated air passing through the conical neck; 7, produces a highly combustible mixture which becomes incandescent and is com letely consumed, creating the highest num and leaving novresiduum.

In case the flame vfor any reason should become extinguished, the overflow of fuel through the pipe 27, will act through automatically operating devices such as are the furnace? a 1 Having thus described my invention, what shown in my prior Patent No. 1,243,194, granted October "16, ,1917, to cut oil the furtherflow of oilan prevent flooding of I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
