FUEL BURNER ATTACHMENT FOR STOVES AND THE LIKE Filed March 10, 1928 Inventor Patented Dec. 3, 15329 FATE HOME-R J. HQLDER, OF HAMLIN, TEXAS FUEL-BUBIQTER ATTACHMENT FOR STOVES AND THE LIKE Application filed March 16, 1928.

The present invenon relates to liquid fuel burners for stoves, furnaces, fire boxes and the like, and has for an object to provide an attachment by means of which a liquid fuel may be fed to the stove and ignited, whereby to supply heat thereto.

A. still further object is to provide a liquid fuel burner of this character, which may be fitted into the usual ash pit of the stove, and enable the stove to be used for heating purposes in the usual manner, and without necessitating any changes or alterations in the construction thereof.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an attachment of this character, of simple and practical construction, which is eflicient and reliable in performance, inexpensive to manufacture and maintain in operation and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the special construction and combination of the Various elements comprising the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through he lower portion of the stove showing my attachment in operative position with respect thereto.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the burner attachment, and

Figure 3 is a similar view ofthe flame spreader or deflector.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, the invention comprises a burner attachment comprising a base portion 5 having its bottom rounded in a trough like formation and extending horizontally through the opening of the stove communicating with the ash pit thereof. The upper portion of the base 5 is opened, so as to permit communication between the interior of the trough and the fire box of the stove indicated generally at 6. The inner portion of the burner may be supported within the ash pit of the stove in any suitable manner, the ash pit preferably being filled with cement, indicated at 7, having the base portion 5 of the burner imbedded therein, with the upper edge of the trough like portion of the burner and the Serial No. 260,616.

upper edge of the cement disposed in a horizontal plane. The bottom 8 of the base portion of the burner inclines slightly upwardly toward its inner end, the inner end thereof being enclosed by a vertical end wall 9. The outer portion of the burner is formed into an upwardly extending circular stack 10, open at its upper end and having direct communication with the base portion of the burner. 'lhe stack 10 is spaced slightly outwardly from the outer wall of the stove, as clearly indicated at Figure 1, a bridge portion 11 being provided across the top of the trough like portion of the burner adjacent the stack so as to prevent the entrance of air into the base of the burner except through the stack 10.

A jet'nozzle 12 extends through the outer wall of the stack 10 adjacent its base thereof, with its inner discharge end protruding slightly within the trough portion of the burner, in longitudinal alinement therewith, said jet valve being controlled by a needle valve stem 13 extending outwardly from the outer end of the valve and adapted for adjustment through the operation of the control handle 14. A laterally extending fuel passage 15 communicates with the valve and to which is attached a fuel pipe 16, extending to a fuel container 17.

Within the trough like portion of the base of the burner is arranged a flame spreader or deflector comprising a deflector plate 18 arranged at an upwardly and outwardly inclined angle towards the fuel jet and having its lower edge secured. to a semi-circular base 19, shaped in conformity with the base of the trough and extending perpendicularly with respect thereto and about one inch above the walls of the trough whereby to form a support for the deflector plate 18.

The deflector may be moved longitudinally of the trough toward or away from the jet valve 12 and is adapted to permit the flame of the nozzle end of the valve to strike against the face of the plate 18, so as to cause the spreading of the flame in all directions, as the same enters the fire box of the stove from the burner. It is apparent that an air draft is provided for the burner throng the upper end of the stack 10.

By providing a burner of this character, the stove furnace or fire box may be heated through the use of any suitable liquid fuel, such as oil, kerosene or the like.

It is obvious that the invention is susceptible' of various changes and modifications, Withoutdeparting from the, spirit or scope off the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages, and I accordingly claign all suchforms of the device to which I am entitled.

What is claimed is:

1. A burner of the class described, comprising in combination a trough like base portion adapted to extend inwardly of a stove beneath \the :fire box thereof, said base portion having van .upwardly extending stack formed at its outerend, fuel jettinguneans extending .Within the base portion of the burner, and a flame defiectingiplate arnangedivitl in the :burner indeflecting association with said jetting means and adapted for longitudinal adjustment in the base; said plate being dis- .posed at right angles ;to ;the path {off the fuel and :having a :portion formed thereon ex- =tending;obliquelytowardgthe jettingmeans.

2. A banner of the classgdesoribefl,Q9111- prising in: combination aztrough like base por- :tion adapted-ito "extend-inwardly of a stove beneath the fire box thereof, said f s ;PQ

tion having an upwardly extending steak formed .at its outer lend, liquid ;fuel jetting means extending Within the (base portion of {the burner, a flamexdeflecting plate arranged Within {the :burner in deflecting association with said jettingmeans,cflnd'iidapteddonad- Lustment longitudinally With Jzespect --to lithe ase portion of said bL1I3I11T flIld zhiwing its upper portion extending above the upper edges of the base andtransversely thereo f and inclinedupwardlytoward the {jetting means.
