To all whom it may concern:V

Be it known that I, LEON FE'rrY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hutchinson, 1n the county of Reno and State of A Kansas. have invented a new and useful Crude-Oil Burner, oirWhichv the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvementsin crude 'oil burners.

ing with the hydro-carbon. fuel, and of ereg.

The object of the presentinvention is to improve the construction of crude oil burners, and to provide a Jsimple and comparatively inexpensive hydro-carbon burner, designed for use in stoves, and capable ofheating water and of supplying steam for mixatinf a sufficient draft to sup ly oxy en enolizgh to create ahot blast thalt?l Will brn hydro-carbon fuel Without forming soot and fouling the burner.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hydro-carbon burner oflthischaracter, equipped withemeans for enablingthe supply of water and crude oil to be simultaneously controlled and readily adjustable to feed the proper capacity of Water with the oil.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction' and novel combination ofparts hereinafter fully described, illustrated indtheaccompanying drawings, and pointed out 'in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changesin the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In` the drawings Figure 1 is a-perspective view of a crude oil burner, constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a horizont-al sectional-*view of the same. Fig. 3 is a central vertical sectional View, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. a similar View, taken on the line 4-4' of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view'of the base or flame pan, of the burner. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view, taken substantially on fthe line 6 6 of Fig. 3` and illustrating the construction for operating the oil and-watch faucets.' Fig. 7 is a detail View' of altube for` conducting oil to the center of the burner.

The base or llame pan, whichhas al1-imperforate bottom, is composed of a central portion: 2 and approximately circular extensions 3, aud-lit 1s formed bya Ahorizontal bottom and the la. The extensions 3, which are open at the top, project beyondd the burner casing, heminafter described, and areadaptel to direct the\ il of the ame pan orbase is provided with .a central depression 4,-y and 'it has an annular vertical flange 5 surrounding the depression Y and forming an inner drip, chamber, which is adapted Although only two circular to catch the drip of oil if any. extensions are illustrated -in Wings the base vof the vburner may be equippedI with three or nigre,\and the. said basemay be varied inslznd shape to adapt the burner to the character of the stove to which it is ap hed. a f

The inner cylindrical-'she is provided with an annular bottom 13, .and it .has -a substantially funnel-shaped li 14. The annular vbottom 18, which has ,a central opening 15,- is pro? marginal' wall or Hange- .the accompanying dra and rear re? ame upward. The central portion 2- vided with an upwardly 'extending annular openin 15 and flange 16, surrounding the bottomgroove 17 for t e rece 18 'or a tube 19. The funn i 19a and the perforations ing tubular portion 19*EL to provide-a niain passage-way for the steam; and it is also `)ei forated at intervals to provide'minor outiets 20. The steam passes downward through the vmain outlet chamber where combustion and mixing fuel and the of the inner shell, as clearly illustrated in- Fig. 3 of the drawings. rlhe water is admitted to the outer steam chamber or compartment through a conduit 22, arranged at an inclination and located beneath the bot# tom of the draft pipey 21 and extending lat- Y shell.. 'lhe water erallysbeyond the same, the, metal of which the conduit is constructed being connected with the exterior of the draft pipe at opposite sides thereof and to the exterior of the outer lconduit is provided at its lower end with an extension 23,' located beneath the front portion of the outer cylinouter shell where it drical shell and connected with the same and with the :trent of the outer or depending ortion or the inner shell' and communicating with the interior of the outer shell through openin s 24 in the bottom thereof. The water is t us is converted' into steam and passes out through the apertures of the funnel-shaped topy ot the passage ot steam through the inner mixing and combustion chamber 11 produces a sufcient draft through the pipe or conduit. 21

The simu taneous rotation of the valve ugs v 29'and 30throufh ,the gearing provi esa of the operating shaft may be maintained in with the gearsY of the valve lugs by a coiled spring 38, mounted on the ower portion 'or the operating shaft and interposed between' the same and the lower connecting plate 37, a suitable stop '39 being provided :for limiting the downward moveshaft. rlhe lower portion of the operating shaft lmay be reuced to provide-a shoulder for this purpose, but any other form of stopmay 'be employed. Also the valve plugs may be equipped with adjusting screws 40 and 41 mounted in threaded bores or o enings of the valve plugs and rovided at their upper ends with grooves or the Treception ora blade of a screw driver,-or other suitable tool for rotating them'. 'lhe adjusting screws provide for a fine adjustment of the faucets indeplendently of the adjustment aorded by t e-gearing. rlhe supply pipes 25 and 26 have upright portionsfwhich are mounted in a bracket 42 having attaching portions secured to the conduit 22 and extending outwardly thererom. J@any other suitable means, however, maybe employed for supportin the supply pipes and also the operating sha t. ln practice the faucets are designed to be arranged at the front of a stove, and the wick 18 consists of a rope of asbestos, er `its'center in circular form to fit within the other suitable material, bent at groove 17 of the inner shell and having its terminal portions twisted together and arranged in the ,draft pipe 21. llnstead, however,of. emplo ing the wick, the ipe 19 shown in Fi maybe employed 'orconducting the elto the combustion chamber.
