Liguria-FUEL BURNER.

` Be it known that l, EMIL citizen of the United States,vre'siding at Victoria, county of Victoria, State of Texas,

have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Liquid-Fuel Burners, of whichthe' following is .a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in liquid fuel burners. -f

lOne of the objects is to produce afburner adapted to-generate gas from liquids rich inv hydro-carbons andconsume the same 1n an j economical manner. s

And finallyY to produce a heating system, adapted for use in private or public buildings, that requires practically no labor or supervision, the same operating continuously so long as a fuel supply is maintained.

These and other objects are attained by vthe novel combination and construction of parts andprinciples hereinafter, described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal view ofl a heater made in accordance with the invention, partly in elevation and partly in section.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, the support for the nipple being omitted.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken through one of the burner heads.

Fig. 4 isa top plan view of the same.

Referring now more particularly to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the burner shown is comprised of a pair of rigid end Yplates 10 and 12 joined by a thin deflecting or cover plate 14.

Also connecting between the end plates, near the bottom is concave-convex plate 16, having thickened edges 17, forming a j trough-like receptacle for purposes further indicated.

Liquid fuel is supplied to the burner through the feed pipe 20, having a control valve 21, engaged with the tubular element 22 of the heater which passes through the end plate l2, below the cover 14, and is engaged at its opposite endv with an elbow 23 having a plugged opening 24.

`Engaged in the vertical opening of the elbow is a nipple 26 held by a clip 27 tothe end lplate 10, and engaging the nipple 1s another elbow'28 similar to the elbow 23, both of which are partially contained in a recess 29 formed in the plate l0.v

R. BITTNER, a 1

Patented June i VEngaged `in theother `opening of the i" elbowY V28 is another tubular element 32, forming a U bentwith the tube 2v2,- and extending out throughthe end vplate 12, the end of the tube being covered by the flange Extending diagonally -downward from bases 34'formed withthe tubeA 32into recesses 35, are two pipes 36, Vscrew-threaded intoV valve casings 38 set in the lower portionsof the'recesses 35,fin ,whichtheyare held by the cover .plate39. These valve casings 38 are hollow and have outwardly extending hubs 40 receptive lof the screwthreaded stems 41, having on their extending ends handV wheels 42, while-the inner i ends of the stems areformed, into Vconical valves'43, extending through the oppositely` disposed hubs 44 of Ythe valve casings S8,- and are adapted to the valve seats 46 formed in blocks 45at the ends ofthe hubs 44.

. Engaged exteriorly of the hubs 44 and adapted to retain the blocks 45 inposition, are other horizontal tubular'elements or cylinders 48 having plugs49 in their'opposite end which rest in recesses formedl in the end plate l0.

Set radially in the cylinders 48 are two rows of spaced,V burner heads 52, the inner row of each cylinder being directed toward the tube 32 and interposed therebetween is a iiame breaker comprising a bar 55 onwhichvr are spaced a plurality of thin plates 56,1the" upper wider ends beingclosely adjacent to the tube 32, to which the bar 55is parallel,

it being held direct in the end plate 12 at one Y, end and in a bracket 57 at the other, the

bracket being attached to the plate 10.

The burner heads or tips 52Vare each formed with a screw-threaded stem 60 conv taining a conical opening 61 in communication at its base with the interior of the cylinder 48, while its upper end enters a mixing ln operation liquid fuel being supplied through'pipe 20 from any suitable source the valve 21 is turned on until it flows out of the tips 52 into the trough or pan 16 and there ignited. The heat thus generatedV soon causes the liquid inthe burner tubes-48 to gasify and eventually a similar effect takes l place in the 'tube 32 so thatbyv adjusting the valve hand wheels 42 gas may be delivered to theburner tips in desired quan- -Y tity, the pan 16 being used only while start- Vin vtheburner into operation.

Iaving thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let# of ters Patent isz-- K Y therebetween, means for controlling the inlet o-fuel to the upper oli-said tubes, a pair of l. A fuel oil burner comprisinga pair'of'- horizontal tubes, disposed one over the other, al -U-shaped--bend connecting at one end divergent" pipes engaged with the vlower of said tubes, 'valve caslngs engaged with the lower end of ysaid pipes, control valves insaid casings, longitudinally extending cylinders l'engagedin said heads, a plurality of burnl ers in said cylinders, a bar extending Vbelow vsaid tubes anda plurality of'plates secured to "said bar over Vsaid burners whereby heat may beconverged thereto.
