BURNER.

Application filed September 2, 1922. Serial No. 585,972.

To all whom it may concern:

, Be it known that I, OwnN M. Jnnnon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Carrollton, in the county of Carroll and State of- Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to liquid and gaseous fuel burners and the primary object of the invention is to provide an improved oil burner in which the oil will be effectively superheated prior to its entrance into the burner proper, whereby all of these constituents ofthe oil will be effectively vaporized, thereby resulting in a hot blue flame at the burner and the elimination of waste of the oil and the formation of soot and other waste matter within the burner proper and the heating coils thereof. 7

A further object of this invention is to provide an improved oil burner which embodies a plurality of heating coils and a burner disposed intermediate the coils, the coils being so formed that the oil under pressure flowing therethro-ugh is equalized, in that the oil flows through the coils in both directions, thereby resulting in an even flow of the combustible mixture" at the burner proper and thus eliminate the depositing of soot and other foreign matter within the coils and the burner propen A further object of the invention is to provide an improved oil burner embodying a plurality of coaxially disposed annular superheating coils, all of the coils being arranged in a vertical plane and in stepped relation to each other and a burner pro-per disposed at the axial center of the coils and arranged in a horizontal plane, the heat arising from the burner being adapted to heat and vaporize the oils, the coils being of novel construction so that the oil introduced therein will flow through the 'coilsin opposite directions therein, on opposite sides of the vertical ,diametric axis of the coils.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved oil burner of the above character, which will be durable and efiicient in use, one that will be simple and easy to manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market at a reasonable cost.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described,

claimed and illustrated in the accompanymg drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which drawings:

Figure l is a front elevation of the improved burner, showing parts thereof in section.

Figure 2 is a vertical diametric section through the improved burner, taken on the line 22 of Figure 1. V

Figure 3 is a horizontal diametric, section through the improved burner taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1. 7

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved burner, which includes.

the super-heating device 13 and the burner proper C.

The super-heating means B comprises a plurality of coaxially disposed vaporizing units 5, 6, and 7, of annular or ring like formation, the diameters of, which successively decrease toward the outermost unit. Each of theseunits 5, 6, and 7 are arranged in a vertical plane and one in the advance of the other so that when the superheating device is considered as a single unit the same will gradually taper toward one end thereof.

Each of the units 5, 6, and? include semiannular or semi-circular pipe sections 8 and 9 which have their meeting terminals screw threaded in opposite directions as indicated respectively by the reference characters 10 and 11. The sections 8 and 9 of the outer unit 7 are connected attheir lower ends by a sleeve '12 having its opposite terminals infeed of the oil to the burner A to be properly regulated. The sections of the outer annular unit 7 are connected by a sleeve 15 which is provided with oppositely directed internal threads and this sleeve supports, a downwardly inclined pipe 16 which of course communicates with the sections 8 and 9 of the outer annular unit 7, and this pipe 16 in turn supports a sleeve 17 which has its opposite terminals provided with interior oppositely directed threads. The sections; of

the intermediate annular unit 6 are threaded into the sleeve 17. The lower terminals of the sections of the intermediate unit 6 are provided with exterior oppositely directed threads which are threaded into a sleeve 18, that has .its opposite terminals provided with interior oppositely directed threads. This sleeve 18 in turn supports an upwardly and forwardly inclined pipe 19, the outer end of which in turn supports sleeve 20 which has its opposite ends provided with interior oppositely directed threads for the reception of the oppositely threaded terminals of the annular unit 5 at the lower end thereof. The upper terminals of the sections of the inner annular unit 5 are provided with oppositely directed threads which are fitted within a sleeve 21. This sleeve 21 supports a depending vertically disposed feed pipe 22 which may be connected in the same manner as the pipes 16 and 19 with their respective coils to the burner C. As shown, however, the lower end of the vertically disposed pipe 22 is provided with a semi-cylindrical sleeve 23 which is adapted to receive a companion semi-cylindrical sleeve 24; and these sleeve sections are adapted to engage about burner C, which has an opening 25 that communicates with the pipe 22. As shown, the semi cylindrical sleeve sections 23 and 24 are provided with outwardly extending cars 26 which are connected by suitable adjustable bolts 27. The lower end of the pipe 22 terminates substantially at the axial center of the superheating device B as can be clearly seen by referring to Figure l of the drawings and thus the burner proper C is supported directly at the axial center of the superheating device. a

The burner proper C is of an annular formation and is connected to the pipe 24 in the manner heretobefore described, and this burner C may be provided with any preferred number of outlet or burner openings 28, which may be arranged at any preferred points on the said burner.

In operation of the improved burner, it can be seen that the oil will flow through the feed pipe 13 after the valve 14 has been opened, and the oil will flow into the superheater B and travel up the sections 8 and 9 in opposite directions of the outer annular unit 7 and then into the connecting pipe 16 and into the intermediate annular unit 6 from whence the same will flow downward in opposite directions through the sections 8 and 9 thereof into the pipe 19 from whence i is delivered to the outer unit 5. The oil will then flow up in opposite directions in the unit 5 in the sections 8 and 9 thereof to the depending feed pipe 22, from whence the oil will flow into the burner C and flow in opposite directions around the same. It is obvious that when the burner is lighted, the heat arising therefrom will effectively superheat the oil in the annular units 5, 6, and 7, and thus this oil Will be vaporized. and delivered in a gaseous condition to the burner.

In view of the fact that the oil will be effectively vaporized by the formation and arrangement of theannular units 5, 6, and 7, all of the constituents of the oil will be utilized thereby effectively preventing the de positing of any foreign matter such as soot and the like, within the burner and the pipes.

It also can be seen that the pressure of the oil will be equalized, in that the same flows in opposite directions through the annular units 5, 6, and 7, which tend to prevent the clogging up of the pipes by foreign matter and prevent an even flow of'the gaseous mixture to be delivered to the burner.

From the foregoing description, it can be seen that an improved burner has been provided of exceptionally simple and durable construction which will permit of the effective vaporizingof the oil and the elimination of any waste thereof.

Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention; but,

I claim:

1. An oil burner comprising a vaporizing device including a plurality of vertically disposed inter-connected units of pipes of annular formation arranged coaxially, and a burner proper disposed at the axial center of the units.

2. In an oil burner, a vaporizing element including a plurality of interconnected units of pipes of annular formation and arranged in upright planes, and a burner disposed in a horizontal plane within the units and connected with the innermost unit.

3. In a gaseous fuel burner, a plurality of vaporizing units each of hollow ring like formation and of different diameters, said units arranged in parallel upright planes and in stepped relation, and pipes conducting the fuel to and from the units and connecting the units at opposite points whereby the fuel is caused to divide and flow in semi-circular paths successively through the units and issue from the smallest unit above the lower portion of said smallest unit.

l. In a gaseous fuel burner, a plurality of vaporizing units, each of hollow ring like formation arranged in upright planes, pipes conducting the fuel to and from said units and connecting the units at opposite points whereby the fuel is caused to divide and flow in semi-circular paths successively through the units, and a burner above the lower-most portions of the units directing the flame to the upper portions of the units.

5. In an oil burner, a vaporizing element comprising a plurality of spaced concentrically disposed annular vaporizing pipes, the pipes successively decreasing in diameter to- Ward the axial center of the vaporizing element, the said pipes being arranged one in front of the other and all disposed at a vertical plane, a horizontally disposed burner arranged at the axial center of the vaporizing element, a feed pipe, a valve in said feed pipe means connecting the feed pipe With the outermost annular pipe of the vaporizing element, means connecting the outermost pipe 'at a point diametrically opposite the 10 point of connection of the feed pipe to the intermediate annular pipe vaporizing element, means connecting the intermediate pipe at a point diametrically opposite its point of connection With the outermost pipe to the innermost pipe of the vaporizing element, and means connecting the innermost pipe at a point diametrically opposite the point of connection of the innermost pipe to the intermediate pipe to the said burner.
