Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug; 29 1922,

Application filed June 15, 1921. SerialNo. 477,761.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that T, HENRY M. SHEER, a resident of Quincy, county of Adams and State of Illinois, a citizen of the United Statesj'have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Burners for Oil-Heating Systems, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to burners for oil heating systems, being particularly adapted for use in heating systems for brooders, incubators, and the like.

The object of the invention is to construct a highly eflicient burner, wherein the several parts may be readily disassembled for clean mg.

Another object is to eliminate, as far as possible, the accumulation of carbon in the burner and in the oil feed thereto.

Another object is to provide means whereby the air being mixed with the flames may be regulated.

Another object is to arrange in the top of the support for the burner a well or the like, which acts primarily as a sight-feed, whereby the operator may determine the level of his oil at any time, and by-the removal of the cap of the support, a wire may be injected in the feed-pipe for cleaning.

In the accompanying drawings:

Fig. 1 is a vertical section through the burner and support; I

Fig. 2 is a top planview thereof;

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view; and

Fig. 4 is a transverse section throughthe burner. I

The letter A, indicates the support, and B, the. burner. The support preferably consists of a base 1 having a hollow upright portion 2 extending upwardly therefrom, somewhat enlarged at its upper end forming an oil chamber 3, being provided with a removable transparent cap 4, whereby the level of the oil within theioil chamber may be ascertained.

The numeral 5 indicates the base of the burner 13, provided with a central opening 6, and an annular oil groove into which leads the feed-pipe 8 extending horizontally from oil-chamber 3. This feed-pipe is preferably provided with a central duct 9, which communicates with a well 10, the latter being in communication with the annular oil groove 7. The purpose of this is to decrease the possibility of carbon forming at the discharge end of the feed-pipe 8, as

would likely happen should the end of the feed-pipe extend inwardly and flush with the outer wall of the annular groove 7. The oil passing through the feed-pipe into the well does not become fully vaporized, that is not vaporized to that extent where it will deposit carbon. A little carbon may form in the wall, but this will be instantly carried into the burner.

the inner chamber 15 and the chamber 16 formed by the upwardly-converging shell 17 arranged around the outer cylinder 13.

'The innermost chamber is provided at each upper end with a flanged deflector 18, preferably provided with a plurality of openmgs 19. These openings 19 are, however, adapted to be controlled by a vertically adjustable damper 20, whereby the air passing inthrough the inner cylinder may be regulated. The arrangement of the damper is such that the air passing out of the opening 19 is deflected horizontally to the flame as it extends above the deflector. The several cylinders are connected together by suitable fastening means, such as transverse rods or cotter- pins 21, 21, passing diametrically through the cylinder at right-an les to each other. These pins are readily removable,

should it be desirable to renew any of the several parts.

As a means for rigidly securing the upper portion of the'burner to the burner base, I preferably provide on theburner base a set of diametrically-disposed outwardly flanged segments 22, 22, beneath which is received locks 23, 23, extending inwardly from the shell 17, whereby by. rotating the cylinders slightly they are locked permanently. The numeral 24 indicates a bail by which the burner can be turned and lifted from the burner base.

It will thus be seen that I have constructed a burner which is highly efficient, consisting of comparatively few parts, an ranged in such a manner as to be most compact, and connected in such a way as to b'e readily disassembled for cleaning.

1 claim: a

LAburner comprising a base provided with an annular oil groove, means for admitting fuel thereto, spaced perforated cylinderssurrounding said annular groove and extending upwardly therefrom, a deflectorcap closing the upper end of the inner cylinder and having holes therethrough, ad-

justable means. for regulating the outlet of end of the inner cylinderfmeans for, regu-- lating the outlet through the said openings, and an upwardly-converging shell surrounding the outer perforated shell. l

'3. A burner comprising a base provided with a central opening, an annular oil groove, means for admitting fuel thereto, spaced perforated cylinders surrounding said annular groove, and extending upwardly therefrom, a deflectorcap provided with openings adapted to close the upper end of the inner cylinder, means for regu-' lating the outlet through the said openings, an upwardly-converging shell surrounding the ou er perforated shell, and means for detachably securing the upper portion of the hurner to the base.

4:. A fuel burner comprising a burner base having a control opening, an annular groove arranged concentrically with the opening, an oil well communlcating with said. annular groove, an air-deflector, means arranged above said annular oil groove, a hollow support for said burner base, and a feed pipe leadii'ig from said hollow support to theoil well adjacent said annular oil groove.

5. A'fuel burner comprising a burner base having a cylindrical opening and an annu lar oil groove surrounding said opening, spaced perforated cylinders surrounding said annular oil groove, a deflector-cap for the inner perforated cylinder, a converging shell surrounding the outer perforated cyl inder and hollow support for said burner base, a feed arranged horizontally the" avir r ricted ope ,orizontal al "oil groove.

vided with openings adapted to receive the upper end of the inner perforated cylinder, a damper for said openings, a converging shell surrounding the outer perforated .cyl-

inder, means for securing the shell and cyl inder together, means for securing the shell to the burner base, a hollow support for said burner base, and an oil feed extending horizontally from said hollow support communicating with the well adjacent 'saidannular groove, whereby oil may be fed to the groove. a

7. A burner comprising a base provided with an annular groove, means for admit ting fuel thereto, spaced perforated cylinders surrounding said annular groove and extending upwardly therefrom, a deflectorcap for the inner cylinder, a shell surrounding the outer cylinder, means for securing the cylinders and shell together, means for detachably securing the shell to the base, and a bail attached to the shell.

8. A burner comprising a base provided with a central opening, an annular groove arranged concentrically with. the. opening,

an oil well communicating with said annular groove, an oil feed pipe entering the burner at'right-angles thereto, and communicating with the oil well, the opening in said pipe being below the bottom of the oil groove, and a mixing-chamber arranged above the oil groove. a

' 9. A burner comprising a base provided with a central opening, an annular groove arranged concentrically with the opening,
