GAS BURNER. APPLICATION FILED MAR-J 1918- 1 substantiall PATENT OFFICE.

MARTIN A. MOORE-0F TOPEKA, KANSAS;

GAS-BURNER.

' Application filed March 9,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN A. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Topeka in the county of Shawnee and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Burners, of which the following is a specification. 7

This invention relates to improvements in gas burners, more especially of the heater Ihe invention has for its object to provide for the mixing of an increased amount or supply of air or oxygen with the supply of gas and accordingly cause a greater or more extended flame or heat-unit. It is a further characteristic of the invention that, when the gas is only about half up'to standard, the flame will be brought up above the burner and will supply as much heat as if the gas were of standard quality. The invention consists of the detailed structural features and arrangement thereof as hereinafter more fully set forth and efined in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing is illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, and in which drawings gigure 1 is a plan view of my invention, an

Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.

In carrying out my invention, I form the burner 1, which as usual, has a continuous plurality of underneath notch-formed airinlets 2 in its base. Said burner has a crowning upper flame surface 3, the same sloping symmetrically along its lateral portion, as at 4, downwardly from a central upper opening or crater 5, which constitutes the mam flame-orifice and which will be later further referred to.

In the sloping lateral portion of the burner is provided also flame-orifices 6., pref- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J uly 13, 1920. 1918. Serial No. 221,453.

erably oblong in outline and preferably four in number, and at substantially equal intervals apart and relatively distant from the central orifice, this orifice with the described cooperating group of flame-orifices, providing for producing an extended or broad flame, and which accordingly results in a great or powerful heat-unit.which is the end, of course, greatly or much sought, especially in this type of heat-generating gas burners. It is especially emphasized that the central or crater flame orifice 5, is of greatly enlarged flame emitting capacity, being much larger than the lateral flameemitting orifices 6, the central and lateral fiame'orifices being both also much. larger than those provided ordinarily in gas burners. I have found by practical experience with this burner that, as above stated, I am enabled to mix an increased amount of air or oxygen with the supply of gas and accordingly cause a greater or more extended flame or heat-unit.

I claim A burner of the class described c0mpris ing a lower cylindrical portion and an upper portion of frusto conical, shape, said cylindrical portion having notches in its lower edge and the frusto conical portion having a circular opening in its top and four oblong openings midway itsends, the oblong openings being spaced a quarter of a circle from each other, an arm concentrically arranged in relation to the central opening and said oblong openings and the central opening having inwardly flaring walls.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
