Application filed April 20. 1912. Serial No. 892.136.

To a w/zom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN \Vi Banana and BENJATlllN ll, l\li\nsn.\1..n. citizens of the United States. residing at Vicksburg, in the county of \Varren and State of Mississi 'ipi, have invented certain new and usetul IlllPlfOFtlllUlll'S in Vapor Generators and Burners, of which the following is a specitication.

This invention relates to.thc general class of liquid and gaseous fuel burners, and especially to the particular class of fuel-teeding oil burners.

The object of the invention is to provide an oil-vapor generator and gas burner having certain novel and peculiar features of construction and arrangement of parts whereby improved results are-attained in this class oi: burners.

A further object of the invention is to n'ovide a simple. inexpensive, and perfectly operative apparatus for generating coal oil or petroleum oil into gas-as the latter is burned in or by thc apparatus for heating or lighting purposes, and to lurnish such ap paratus as may be conveniently and expeditiously installed in or attached to an ordinary range or cooking stove! A still further object of the invention is to provide a special arrangement of oil pipes leading from an oil chamber, which is connected with an oil tank or other suitable oil storage, and to furnish such chamber with an oil screen or strainer through which the oil passes to said oil pipes, whence the oil is forced to the overlying pipes.

The object still further of the invention is to provide an oil check device between the overlying pipes and the oil pipes for reducing the amount of oil to the smallest measure necessary to produce sntlicient gas for heating or lighting purposes.

Various other objects, advantages and improved results are attainable in the practical application of the invention.

In theaecompanying drawings forming part of this application :---F.igure 'l is a perspective .view showing-the application of the invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of .same parts throughout the several the oil reservoir showing one line of pipes in elevation. Fig. is :vcross section taken through the reservoir and one of the valves, showing the pipes in elevation, partly broken away. Fig. l is a detail perspective view of the portion of a pipe containing the cheek device. Fig. 5 is a sectional view ot. the parts shown in Fig. 4. Fig. (3 is a sectional elevation of a n'lodilicalion.

The same rel'erence characters denote the views of the drawings.

* It should be understood that in order to make burners of this class practically useful as a substitute for wood, coal, or other solid fuel in cooking ranges and heating stoves. the danger of oxplosion should be eliminated as far as possible. and the non-combustion of gas or vapor after extinguishment. of the flame, which is a well known cause of explosion, should be avoided, this we have accomplished by introducing into the'oil path or channel. means for reducing the How of liquid fuel to the generator or overlying pipes according to the pressure of oil in the apparatus. and by arrangingsuch n'ieans in such position as to require the oil to be raised or lorced through said reducer, so that all gas or vapor i consumed by the jet flame. aliter the supply of oil lrom the reservoir has. been cut. oil. notwithstamling the fact that the pipes between the reservoir and the generator or overlying pipes contain oil.

In carrying out the invention wecmphn a casing 1, having a closed upper end. and a rcnmvable screw-cap l for closing the bottom of the. casing. and such cap is provided with a screw-nipple or stem 3, for connecting an oil supply pipe -l-,'leading from an elevated 0iltank or storage ieceptacle The casing is provided with an oil strainer or disk (3 composed of wire gauze or other suitable fabric. material secured in the lower portion of an oil reservoir T. formed by the casing. Two needle-valves 8 are connected with the oil chamber orreservoir7. above the strainer 6. and diametrically opposite each other, and said valves are operated by stems 9 having the usual hand knobs or wheels 10,
