OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 8, 1921.

Application filed July 2, 1920. Serial No. 393,742.

To all whom it may concern:

e it known that I, VVILLIAM T. DAILY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Calm, in the county of Hill and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a burner and the invention aims to provide a structure of the sort above mentioned which may be fashioned at trifling cost out of stock materials, the construction being such that a thorough heating of the fuel, and conversion thereof into gas, will take place, before the gas is presented at the combustion orifices for ignition.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

lVith the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description pro ceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, the same being mounted in operative relation to a top or caldron and a furnace; Fig. 2 is a detail enlarged from Fig. 1, parts being broken away; Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross section.

The burner forming the subject matter of this application comprises a U-shaped memher 1 including approximately parallel arms 2 and an intermediate portion 3, the arms and the intermediate portion being located in a common vertical plane which is designated in Fig. 3 by the numerals 4-4. The arms 2 merge into extensions 5, the extensions 5 being approximately parallel and projecting toward the intermediate portion 3 of the burner. The extensions 5 are closed at their inner ends as shown at 6, and, as designated by the numeral 7 in Fig. 3 the extensions are spaced less widely apart than are the arms 2. The extensions 5 are located in a common vertical plane 88 parallel to and at one side of the 2 are located. The extensions 5 are supplied with combustion orifices 9 discharging toward the arms 2. A pipe 10 communicates with the intermediate portion 3 of the burner, the valve 11 being interposed in the pipe. The fuel traverses the pipe 10, under the control of the valve, and passes into the arms 2. In the arms 2, the fuel is converted, wholly or in part, into gas, the at the combustion orifices 9 and serving to heat the arms 2. Owing to the specific rela tion existing between the arms and the extensions, as delineated in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the arms will be heated adequately, but, at the same time, the flames from the combustion orifices 9 will not be prevented from ascending into contact with any object to be heated.

The burner forming the subject matter of this application may be put to a wide variety of uses. For instance, if desired, the pipe 10 may extend through an opening 12 in a burner 14 supporting a caldron or wash pot 15, the furnace having a stack 16.

he combustion orifices 9 may be filled with fine wires, as indicated at 13. These bunches of wires serve to prevent the gas from escaping too rapidly. Stated in other words, they break up and regulate the flow of gas. Again, the carbon, instead of clogging up the combustion orifices 9, lodges in the wires 18. The wires may be removed readily and with them, the carbon. Very often, it is not necessary to remove the wires, in order to remove the carbon. The wires may be shaken or jarred, while the burner is in operation. The carbon then will be loosened, and the gas will blow the carbon out.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is A burner of the class described comprising a U-shaped member including approximately parallel arms and an intermediate portion, the arms and the intermediate portion being disposed in a common vertical plane, the arms merging into approximately parallel extensions projecting toward the intermediate portion, the extensions being closed at their inner ends and being spaced plane 44 in which the arms gas burning apart less widely than are the arms, the ex- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as tensions being located in a common vertical my own, I have hereto affixed my signature plane parallel to the plane in which the in the presence of two Witnesses.

arms are located, the extensions having coml/VILLIAM T. DAILY. bustion orifices discharging toward the arms, Witnesses: the intermediate portion being supplied with C. J. CARTWRIGHT,

a fuel inlet. C. N. MITCHELL.
