The flow of oil from the burner is controlled by a suitable knob 21 connected to a control valve (not shown) within the burner.
In asimilar manner, air is supplied to the burner from the passage 19 through a pipe 22 which also is rigidly connected at its ends respectively to the burner 11 and Cast body 14. The air supplied to the burner through pipe 22 is controlled by a knob 23 connected to a suitable valve (not shown) within the burner 11.
Supplemental air is supplied to the burner through a. third pipe 24 which is rigidly connected at one end to the burner 11 and at its opposite end to the offset portion 1 of the cast body 14. The pipes 20, 22 and 24 c on stitute the means for rigidly connecting the burner to the body '14. The passage 19 supplies air to the pipe 24 through a passage 25, the flow of air being controlled by operation of a handle 26 connected to a valve 27 adjacent the inner end of the passage 19.
A gas pilot light '28 preferably burns at all times to provide positive ignition means for the oil burner when the latter is turned on after having been shut down. The pilot light is mounted upon one end of a pipe 29 which is-supplied with gas through a flexible hose 30, the latter element being connected to a pilot light controlmechanism indicated in part by the numeral 31. The control mechanism for the pilot light is disclosed in detail in my copending application above referred to, and need not be described inconnection with the present invention.
The supporting means for the burner includes a pair of upstanding verticarl members 32 and 33, preferably formed of o'rdin'ary piping and connected at their lower ends to elbows 34 and 35 respectively. These elbows in turn communicate with pipes '36 and 3.7 which are connected at their inner ends-to Ts 38 and 3.9. The Ts preferably are rigidlv connectedby a short connecting element 40 which is closed, thus preventing communication between the pipes 36 and 37. An oil .sitpply pipe '41 is connected to. the T 38 while an air supply pipe 42 is similarly connected to the T 39.
Means is provided for clamping the supporting elements 43 and 44 against the cast body 14 to prevent leakage past the frustoconical faces and seats. As shown in F igures 1, 2 and 4, each of the supporting elements is provided with a preferably integral ear 49 having an opening 50 therein. The
openings 50 are in alinement with each other and are adapted to receive a clamping rod 51 provided at its ends with nuts 52 engaging the outer faces of the ears 49.
The operation of the device isas follows:
The vertical pipes 32 and 33 may be of any desired height, depending upon the height of the burner from the floor. The pipes 41 and 42 preferably are fixed against the floor, but may be arranged thereabove if desired. The vertical pipes 32 and 33 possess a substantial degree of resiliency, and When it is desired to place the burner in position, these pipes are sprung apart at their upper ends sufficiently to permit the cast body 14 to be arranged in position. The pipes 32 and 33 are then permitted to spring together, whereupon the rod 51 is inserted in the openings 50 and the nuts 52 are applied and tightened. This action draws the supporting ele ments 43 and 44 toward each other and brings the frusto-conical faces and seats 47 and 48 into firm engagement with each other to provide leak-proof joints. Thus, oil in ay be -supplied to the burner through pipe 41 and the associated piping connections of the supporting element, and thence into the passage 18, through pipe '20yand to the burner to be consumed thereby. Similarly, air may be supplied to the burner through the pipe 42 and Under such conditions, with the present device, a replacement "burner immediately may be placed in position and the operation of the furnace cont nued whlle the original burner is being repalred. Thus, it is not necessary to place the furnace or boiler out of commission as ordinarily is necessary with burner constructions which can be removed only by dismounting threaded piping and similar connections. For the purpose of perthe outlet orifice of the burner, the tube 10 may be provided with a hinged upper portion as shown 'inFigure 1,
and when this portion of the tube is open, the burner may be swung'u pwardly about the common axis of the frusto-conical faces and seats 47 and 48 without loosening the rod 52.
Thus the outlet orifice, or any other parts of the burner readily may be inspected without dismounting the burner.
It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims. a
I claim:

3. Mounting means for an oil burner comprising a body forming a part of the burner and having alined substantially horizontal end portions terminating in frusto-conical faces, a pair of elbows arranged outwardly of said body and each having one branch provided with a frusto-conical face adapted to engage against one of said first named frustoconical faces, said body and said elbows being provided with passages forming supply means for the burner and communicating with each other through said frusto-conical faces, the passages through said elbows being continuous and unbroken, a pair of substantially parallel pipes possessing a substantial degree of resiliency and being anchored at one end, said pipes being free from each other intermediate their ends and having their opposite ends threaded in the other branches of said elbows, each of said elbows being provided with a laterally extending integral ear, and a releasable bolt passing through said ears for drawing said elbows toward each other.
