OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 1, 1914.

Application filed March 5, 1914. Serial No. 822,770.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERNARD Fnnsn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lemoore, in the county of Kings and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oil-Burners; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to oil burners wherein petroleum or distillates thereof are converted into gas before ignition takes place. The gas generated in the known burners of this kind, is under more or less pressure which causes the carbon residue in the heated generator to become hard, and causes the small openings, from which the gas escapes, to clog and gradually close. I

My invention eliminates these objections by providing a gas generator that allows the gas to escape freely therefrom without the gas becoming ignited therein. The advantage I obtain thereby is that the sediment formed in the generator does not harden, but is of a soft spongy consistence, easily removed with a wooden or other poker, and

that the gas can expand before being ig nited.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my burner. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on dotted line K. Fig. 8 is a vertical section on dotted line X Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

' Gr is the gas generator open at a, a, it has an extension G for communicating heat to the box G. The generator has three legs T, two of which are shown in Fig. 3, the third being on the side of section removed.

C is a receptacle for holding the generator and other parts, it also serves as a pan to hold a small quantity of oil for preliminary heating of the generator.

E is a cover forming a draft channel 0 on the upper part of the generator G, the

lower draft channel C, beingformed by the receptacle C and the generator by means of the legs T, T,'T, which support the generator in the receptacle.

F covers the open end of G leaving sinal. spaces a, a, between the open end of G and the cover F. Cover F has a tube F attached to it which extends inside of and to the farther part of the generator box.

D are the lugs on the receptacle C and b are bolts holding the parts E, F and C together, the same bolts may be used to fasten the whole to a stove or furnace. The tapering lugs D give the whole an incline, causing the oil to flow to the lowest part.

A feed pipe and needle valve should be attached to F to regulate the amount of oil that is fed to the heated generator through the tube F. p

The gas generated in the box Gr passes freely through openings a, a, and is then carried by the draft through the channels c, c, to be mixed with air. The draft in the channel 0, 0, prevents ignition in the generator box. the end of the generator box and through the space C.

By permitting thus the mixing of air and hot gas complete combustion is obtained, no soot is formed at any place nor is smoke visible from the chimney.

I have invented and made and sold burners having open generator boxes and draft channels for more than two years prior to my present invention. The generators of my prior invention had the oil supply pipe as an integral part thereof; this proved unsatisfactory on account of the feed hole clogging. I therefore cannot claim broadly the most important part of this burner: an open generator box and the draft channels.

IVhat I claim as my present invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

Ignition takes place near 1. In an oil burner, a receptacle, a genorator therein, a cover forming a draft channel on the upper part of the generator, there being a lower draft channel between the generator and the receptacle, and a feed tube separate from the generator and extending thereinto.

2. In an oil burner, a receptacle, a generator therein, a cover forming a draft channel on the upper part of the generator, there being a lower draft channel between the generator and the receptacle, and a feed tube separate from the generator and extending thereinto, there being a vertical space between the inner end of the receptacle and the generator.
