@ACTUS-'BURNER Specification of Letters Patent. iipplieation filed may 2G, 191i?. Serial No: 698,550.

Patented Apr. 153, 19t-3..

l'lBe it known that l, ALEX Piccoli, a citi-- een" of the United States, residine' at Carpeuter, in the county oi' Wilson and State of ,ile-nas, have invented certain new and use- ,lrn rovernents. in CactuslBurners, of which t e following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in4 which. will generate its own gas from liquid' fuel and which. will be provided with an improyed'it'orm of easily cleaning burner in which the gas generation is completed..

Another object of my invention is the provision of an improved shield which may be readily secured on or removed from the convolutions of the feed tube adjacent vthe dom-ner tip and which will serve to confine lil() the flow of gas from the tip to the space around said convolut-ions and will provide a restricted nozzle through which the burning gases are discharged.

Other objects of lmy i inproved cactus burner will be readily apparent from the following description takenin connection with the accompanying drawings and it wil-l be understood that l may make any modifications in the specific structure shown and described within thev scope of my claims without departing from or exceeding the spirit of the invention.

Figure l represents a view oi niy device in use. Fig. 2 represents an lenlarggged side elevation thereof., Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal sectional View ofthe saine. Fig. fi represents an end view of the burner portion of my' device. Fig. 5 represents a view ot the burner coils with the casing therefor removed, and Fig. 6 represents a sectional view of' the burner and casing.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the tank' portion of In cactus burner, said tankbeing provided with the cap controlled filling aperture 2 and having secured to its ends the loops 3 for receiving the shoulder straps f1 for' carrying the burner as shown inFig. 1.

Secured to one side oi? the tank is the pump cylinder 5 havingr extending .from its lower end the pipe V6 entering one yend oi' the tank 1 said tank being provided with a globe valve 7 for shutting oft How throue'li thepipe, a flap valve being contained Wit in the enlargement 8 to automatically prevent retrograde dow of air 'as the piston is reciprocated within tlie cylinder by the movement ofthe controlling handle 9. This pump thus serves to 4torce air under pressure into ythe tank which is filled with gasolene or other volatile Huid.

Leading from that end ofthe'tanl'c which will be naturally lowermost when the de vice is in use is the pipe 10. which extends along the side of the tank through the guide brackets 11, said pipe being provided adja-v cent the tank with the controlling globe valve 12 for regulating the liow' outward through the pipe 10, an automatic check vvalve being contained inthe enlargement pipe.

Removably secured to the outer end ot' prevent retrograde iow through the toY the pipe'10 is the burner portion of iny cactus burning device, said burner portion comprlsing a pipe'of metal having some degree'of' resiliency, this pipe having a forwardly extending' portion 14 reversely bent A various convolutions of the p i e to complete the generation oi2 thefuel. o retain the heat against said oonyolutions and further to provide a constricted discharge nozzle therefor, l employ my shield i9 which has its rear end of size to just .tit over the for Ward portions of the burner tuice and tapers toward its other end, whereby .said shield may be readily engagedpn the forward ends of the convolutions and may he then forcibly driven onto the same, the convolutions on account of the resiliency oit the pipe from which they are `formed spi.'ing'i-n'f.;r inward but 'being in tight 'engagement with the shield to retoir the same in position. The shield is preferably formed with e notch 20 i into which the burner proper 17 tits.

coil which muy be readily cleenedin that when the same is removed and the burner tip 17 taken off, the. portions 14 and 16 are opened for the insertion of a cleaning wire or member leaving only the loop l5 inaccessible instead of having a plurality of inaccessible coils as is generally the case.

i From the foregoing description it will he seen that l have provided a simple and eHicient cactus burner which will satisfad torily burn oilV the thorns or spines of the cactus and which is of simple construction and will readily generate its own gas in an eflicient manner.

I claiinrl. In n cactus burning device comprising a liquid fuel'tauk, means for supplying air under pressure to the tank, e discharge pipe for the tank, ineens for controlling the flow through the discharge pipe, e pipe of resilient metal secured on the end of the discharge pipe :1nd haring a plurality of elongated loops, :i transversely extending burner secured to the end of the loops, and .having e discharge aperture formed in one side thereof, and a truste-conical shield. member frictionally engaged on the loops. It will thus he seen that I provide d burner 2. ln o cactus burner comprisinr a fluid t-anlnmeans for supplying eur uner pres sure to the tank, a, discharge ipe for` the tank, Ineens for controlling the ilow through the discharge pipe, a pipe of resilient metal secured on the end ot the discharge pipe and having u plurality of elongated loops disposed with their lengthpurullel with the axis of the pipe, a, transversely extending burner secured to the end of the loops, and u frusto conical shield member engaged on thc loops, said member having its larger end ol size to readily lit over the end of the loops and having its outer end of size to spring the loops inwardly toward each other wheren by the resiliency of the loops serves to retain the shield in position thereon and have ing its outer' end of further reduced size t; serve as a discharge nozzle.

In testimony whereof I with; my signature. in the presence of two' witnesses. ALEX PLOCl-.
