Specification of Letters Patent.

mama Dec. 24., 1918.

Application filed April 10, 1918. Serial No. 227,720.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Louis C. BENNER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Kerosene-Burner; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to heaters. It particularly relates to heaters commonly used by tinsmiths for heating soldering irons and the like. The object of the invention is to produce a coal oil heater that will form a flame that will quickly heat the tools or devices or articles, and which will not produce excess of soot and carbon deposits, and will thus operate to keep the tools or pots or whatever may be heated, clean.

The invention may be contained in dilferent forms of heaters. I have selected one form, which, however, may be greatly modifled in the details of its construction and yet such modifications may still contain the invention. The heater selected is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. I

Figure 1 is an end view of the heater, Fig. 2 is a side View, Fig. 3 is a top View of the cover, Fig. 4 is a top view of the heater, the cover having been removed, Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the burner, and Fig. 6 is an end view of the burner. V

1, Fig. 1, is the frame for supporting the parts of the heater. A tank 2 is located in the frame. The tank has an air pump 3 and a funnel 4 through which the oil may be poured into the tank 2. It may be closed with a cap 5. A pipe 6 connects with the tank 2 and conveys the oil to the burner. A valve 7 may be connected to the pipe 6 to regulate the flow of oil caused by the pressure of air produced by the pump 3. The pipe 6 passes up from the valve 7 and across the bottom of the hood. The hood or container 8 is formed of two parts 10 and 11. The part 10 is secured to the frame 1, while the part 11 is pivoted to the part 10 by means of the pintle 12 that extends through suitable ears formed on the parts 10 and 11. The flame is directed into the container 8 and is protected by the walls of the container. Air is permitted to enter through holes 13 formed in the bottom of the part 10. Also if desired, holes 14: may be formed in the upper side edges of the part 10. The part 11 may be locked in closed relation to the part 10 by means of the screws 15 that are threaded into lugs 16 and which may be threaded into openings 17 formed in the part 10. One end of the part 11 is open to receive the tools or other articles that are to be heated by the flame. The top of the part 11 is provided with an annular opening 18. It is also provided with dampered openings 19. The opening 18 affords in conjunction with the openings 13, sufiicient ventilation for the flame when drafts exist or when the heater is located in a breezy or windy place. The d-ampered openings 19 permit variation of the ventilation and may be used when the heater is located in a shop or in a building. A suitable bail 20 may be connected to the part 11 for carrying the heater. The burner of the heater is made readily removable, it being protected and secured in position by means of a plate 21 that is secured in position by the screws 15 when they are turned a suiiicient distance through the lugs 16. The burner 22 is located in a slot 23 formed in one end of the part 10 of the container or hood. It has a laterally extending part 2 1 which, together with an elbow in the pipe 6, locks the burner in position to prevent outward movement of the burner. The plate 21 not only affords a means for protecting the burner, but also forms a shelf which renders convenient the placing and the holding of the tools while they are being heated by he heater. The burner is connected with the pipe 6 which extends not only across the center of the bottom of the part 10, but also extends along one side and beneath the flame produced by the burner. It connects with a portion 25 of the burner which is provided with a passageway that extends upward to the top of the burner. The portion 25 communicates also with a passage-way 26 extending across the top of the burner and this in turn communicates with a passage-way 27 that extends along the burner and down to behind the tip 28 of the burner. The passage-way is closed by means of the valve 29 which regulates the supply of the fuel to the tip 28. Inward movement of the valve is limited by means of the stop pin 30, which abuts against an adjustable ring 31 located on the stem of the flame, the slot 34: being located in the lip of the burner which inclines upward. The gas is thus given a downward direction and caused to spread over the lower wall or lip 35 and in doing so, the portion of the pipe 6 is heated by the flame. The flame enters the I hood 8 and by reason of the upward draft produced by the heated air, causes the flame to rise toward the tools which are placed in the hood. Also the upward inclination of the lip35 directs the flame so as to spread itself over the tools. The burner is thus located below the handles of the tools that are placed on the plate 21 and the flame is directed by the burner away from the handles and toward the ends of the tools that are inserted in the hood 8.

The burner is provided with a cup 36 which is located below a chamber or pas sage-way 37 formed in the burner 22. The tip 28 is located at the top of the chamber 37. The edge of the cup 36 onthree of its sides is located at a point slightly removed from the body of the burner and moreover,

the edges extend outside of the edges of the chamber 37. The cup 36 may be filled with oil or the valve 29 may be opened a short distance which will permit the oil to drip through the chamber 37 andinto the cup 36. To start the burner, the oil collected or placed in the cup 36 may be ignited which will produce the requisite preliminary heating of the burner in order that it may be of the lips inclined upward from the bottom of the passageway.

In a heater, a tip, a passageway in clined downward from the aXis of the tip, a

pair of flame spreading lips, one of the lips inclined upward from the bottom of the passageway, and passageways located in the edge of the lips and communicating with the source of fuel supply and the tip.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to this specification.
