HENRY G. LIEIBZEIT, OF Sl-IEBOYGAN FALLS, WISCONSIN.

OIL-SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR BURNERS.

Application filed July 24, 1915.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY G. LIEBZEIT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sheboygan Falls, in the county of Sheboygan and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Supply Systems for Burners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in oil supply systems for burners; and an object of the invention is to provide a system of this general character having novel and improved means whereby a steady pressure is maintained on the oil and thus resulting in a steady flame.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved oil supply system for burners whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device is rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, all as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in the appended claim.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the figure is a diagrammatic view, partly in elevation and partly in section, illustrating a system arranged in accordance with an embodiment of my invention.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes a tank for the storage of compressed air of a pressure to 200 pounds test, and 2 indicates an oil tank of the same test as the tank 1 and said tanks 1 and 2 are in communication one with the other through the medium of the conduit 3, said conduit having interposed therein the reducing valve l whereby a pressure may be maintained upon the oil within the tank 2 less than the pressure within the tank 1.

As herein embodied, air is adapted to be stored within the tank 1 under a pressure of substantially 200 pounds, said air being delivered within the tank 1 under the influence of the compression pump 5 which may be of any desired type and the valve 4 is adapted to be regulated so as to maintain the pressure of the air delivered within the Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 41,721.

tank 2 at a point between 70 and 80 pounds whereby it will be perceived that a steady pressure on the oil within the tank 2 is assured which will result in a steady flame at the burner 6 in communication with the tank 2 through the conduit 7 The burner 6, as herein embodied, is constructed in accordance with the burner described and claimed in my Patent, No. 1,129,212, dated Feb. 23, 1915.

The conduit 3 at a point intermediate the tank 1 and the reduced valve 4E has in communication therewith the gage 8 whereby the pressure within the tank may be readily determined and in communication with the conduit 3 intermediate the tank 2 and the valve 4 is a second gage 9 whereby the pressure upon the oil may be readily ascertained. The conduit 3 has also interposed therein at a point intermediate the tank 1 and the valve 4: a cut-off 10 whereby the pressure of the air within the tank 2 may be shutoff when said tank 2 is being filled and the conduit or pipe 7 has the valve 11 interposed therein, for a purpose which is believed to be self-evident. The conduit 3 has also interposed therein and at a point between the valve 4: and the gage 9 a check valve 12 operating to prevent return flow of the air to the tank 1.

From the foregoing description, it is thought to be obvious that an oil supply system for burners constructed in accordance with my invention is of an extremely simple and comparatively inexpensive nature and is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without material departure from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carrying out my invention in practice.

I claim:

In combination, an oil tank, an air tank in communication therewith and adapted to contain air under pressure, a reducing valve interposed in the connection between the tanks, a burner, a connection between the burner and the oil tank, a gage interposed in the connection between the reducing valve and the air tank, a second gage interposed in In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my the; connectiorifbetiveen the oil tank rindfithe signature in the presence of tWo Witnesses. Va ve a cut-o Va Ve inter oosed in tie rst namezi connection interniechate the air tank HENRY LIEBZEIT and the second named gage, and a cut-off Vitnesses:

interposed in the connection between the oil LOUISE LIEBL,

tank and the burner. OSCAR L. WoL'rnns.
