CRUDE-OIL BURNER.

Specification'of Letters Patent. Patented Fem- 22 1910 Application filed May 24, 1909. semi No. 497,837.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK IV. LANOIX,

acitizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Crude-Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification; My invention relates to improvements in crude-oil burners,,and one of my objects is to provide a simple and eflicient burner of this character.

l/Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention may be said to consist in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described,

' illustrated in the accompanying drawing,

and pointed out in the claims appendedhereto, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the ins vention. Referring now to said drawing: Figure 1 represents a vertical central section of the burner on line I-I of Fi 2 Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line IL-II of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a broken, inverted plan view. Fig. 4 is an inverted perspective view of a disk employed in carrying out the invention.

In carryingout the invention,-'I employ a hollow cup-shaped casting 1, comprising an inner wall 2 and an outer wall 3,

' spaced apart to form an air-chamber 4:.

The bottom portion of the outer wall 3 has a central opening 5 forming an inlet to chamber 4, and the upper portion of the inner wall 2 has an annular row of holes 6 forming an outlet from said. a1r-chamber.

The bottom portion of the inner wall 2has a central depending nipple '7 'threaded so that itmay be connected to a supply-pipe, not shown.

, 8 designates a reinforcing member which is screwed upon the nipple to secure the same and the bottom of the outer wall together.

9. designates a sheet-metal pan fitting within the inner wall from which it is spaced to form' a second air-chamber 10,

having communication with the air-chain her 4 through the holes 6. Pan 9 is pro-v vided at its upper end with an annular flange 11 which rests upon the upper. sur

face of the outer wall,'and said pan is held centrally within the inner wall 2 by a plurality of spacing lugs 12 integral with the upper' portion of said inner wall. 'lan .9

has a central opening 13 in its bottom porerable distance to cause the flame to impinge against the bottom and side of the pan.

In practice oil is admitted to the bottom of the inner wall 2 and ignited. The flame thus produced passes upward through 0 en-- ings 13, where it is spread against the interior' of the pan by the disk-14. This heats the air in the chambers 4 and 10 and causes it to flow'outward through opening 13 and draw in a fresh supply through inlet 5. j As theheatedsair esca es through opening 13 it becomes thcrou 1y intermixed with the flamepsupplying te same with sufiiciently heated 0 gen to insure complete combustion of ithe fuel- A small portion of the flame wlll also escape through opening 1? but as the same is small, compared to the annular,opening"18 between the pan and theedge of the disk, the greater portion of the flame will escape through said annular opening, and inimpinging against the pan sup'erheat the air in chain er 10.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim 1s: p t

1.; An oil burner consisting of a hollow cup-shaped c'astin comprising an outer wall and-an inner wal forming an air-chamber with inlet and outlet openings in said walls, oil-supplying- -means communicating with the bottomofthe inner wall, a pan fitting within theinner wall and spaced therefrom to form a-second air-chamber having an outlet through the bottom of the pan and communicatin 'with the first-mentioned airchamber-tIirough the outlet thereof, and a disk'spaced' above the bottom of the pan,

substantially as described. 2. An oil burner consisting of a .hollow cup-shaped casting comprising an outer wall and an inner wall forming an aiz chamber with inlet and outlet openings in said walls,

a nipple depending from the inner wall through the inlet opening in the outer wall, reinforcing means ugagmg the nipple and the, bottom of the outer wall, a pan removably fittingwithiii the inner wall and spaced therefrom to form a second air-chamber having an outlet through the bottom o;t the r pan and communicating with the first-men- 1 tioned air-chamber; through the outlet thereof, an annularfiange carrying said pan and supported bythe upper portion of the cupshaped casting, means extending inwardly 15 opening in the bottom. of the pan, said disk 20 being provided with lugs whereby it is .supported above the bottom of the pan.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature,

, in the presence of two witnesses.
