SPECIFICATION forming part of etters Patent No. 472,226, dated April 5, 1892.

Application filed October 19, 1891. Serial No. 409,163- (No model.)

.To all witam it may concern:

Be it known that I, MILES E. RAY, of Toledo, county of Lucas, and State of Ohio, have invent-ed certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-B urncrs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to a hydrocarbonburner, and has for its object to provide a burner for domestic purposes, wherein there shall be economy of construction, adaptability to stoves of any character, a maximum amount of heat from a minimum supply of hydrocarbon oil, and an entire absence of noise during combustion of the same.

A further object is to provide means for obviating the usual fiuctuation in the supply of gaseous fuel to the burner-pipe by arranging supplemental reservoirs for a supply of the gaseous fuel in communication with the burner-pipe, whereby a uniform pressure may be maintained.

The invention consists in the parts and combination of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a complete burner. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal Vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a top plan view with the defiector removed. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on lines cc oc, Fig. 1.

Heretofore in the branch of the art to which my invention belongs there has been avarying or fluctuatin g of feed the vapor fuel to the burner, due to an intermittent feed of oil to the vaporizer. It is the object of my inventionto obviate this diftlculty by providing reservoirs for the vapor fuel, whereby there is insured an even supply of the same to the burner. There has also been an annoying noise during combustion, due to an absence of equilibrinm between the escape of the products of combustion and the supply of air to the combustion-chamber. This objection is entirely overcome by my arrangement of airports, whereby the air is received both above and below the burner-pipe, and by an adaptability of adjustment of the defiector-pla-te, whereby the escape of the products of combustion is equalized With relation to the airsupply and the supply of fuel to the burnerpipe.

l designates a shell, preferably comprising a bottom and sides formed integral, with the sides inclining outwardly from the bottom, there being projections 2 on each end, perforated to receive rods 3, screw-threaded upon their upper ends and provided with nuts 4110 adjustably sustain a deflector-plate 5, formed with depending fianges 6 at each end to defiect the products of combust-ion from impinging upon the sides of the stove in which the shell is placed.

Within shell 1 is arranged a coil of pipe 7,

,leading from a source of supply of oil to a burner-pipe 8 of T shape, arranged centrally of the shell and having orifices 9, through which the gaseous vapor escapes and islighted, there being air-ports 10 formed in the shell, extending above and below pipe 8, whereby air is admitted around the burner-pipe in direct alignment with the orifices at which combustion takes place.

` At the outer ends of pipe 8 are secured reservoirs 11, which extend vertically from the pipe to avoid an accumulation of any tarry or unvaporized matter, which are designed to receive and store a quantity of the fuel vapor with sufficient pressure to cause the same to flow to orifices 9 should the feed of oil diminish or cease in its flow, whereby there is maintained an even feed at the burner-oritices.

In operation, to start an initial fire, cock 12 is opened to allow oil to fiow through the coil and out of orifices 9 into the bottom of the shell when it is lighted, and cock 12 being closed the oil in the coil is quickly vaporized, causing the vapor to issue through the orifices, where it is lighted, and the products of combustion rising heat the coil suticiently to allow of opening the cock 12 and admitting a constant feed of oil to-the burner. Deflector plate 5 is now adj usted to the proper height by screwing nuts 4 either up or down until the plate is the proper distance from the top of the shell to allow the products of combus- IOO tion to escape with a Volume eoineident with the feed of oil and air and Without the disagreeable noise nsual in burners of this character. As soon as the Vaporizingeoil has become snfliciently heated to vaporize the oil the Vapor passes to the orifiees and into the reservoirs 11, where a qnantity is always present to supply the demand at the burner-orifiees should the fioW of oil eease or diminish, thereby preventing fiuctuation of the fiarne. I may also construet the shell and vaporizingeoil in eireular form, to adapt the same to the eombnstion-ohanlber of eireular stoves.

That I elaiin is- In a hydrooarbon-bnrner, a shell oompristwo witnesses.
