UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEe
DRURY T. KIRKPATRICK, OF DALLAS, TEXAS, ASSIGNOR TO THE KIRKPAT-
RICK VAPOR BURNER COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
VAPOR-BU RNER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,791, dated August 19, 1890.
Application filed January 16, 1890. Serial No, 337,084. (No model.)To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DRURY T. KIRKPATRICK,
a citizen of the United States, residing at
Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of
5 Texas, have invented certain new and useful
Improvements in Vapor-Burners; and I do
declare the following to be a full, clear, and
exact description of the invention, such as
will enable others skilled in the art to which
Yo it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has relation to improvements
in vapor-burners; and it has for its object to
provide a device for cooking or heating, in
which oil and water are united in a common
15 vapor or gas and burned as a fuel.
The improvements will be fully understood
from the following description and claims,
when taken in connection with the accompa-
nying drawings, in which-
20 Figure 1 is a vertical diametrical sectional
view of my improved burner, showing the
construction and position of the respective
chambers; and Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the
cap or cover.
25 Referring to the accompanying drawings
by letter, A indicates my improved water and
oil vapor burner. This burner A consists of
three apartments or chambers, two for the re-
ception of oil and water and the other for the
30 reception of the gas or vaporgenerated there-
from.
B indicates the base chamberor apartment
of the burner. This chamber B, which is de-
signed for the reception of coal-oil or crude
35 mineral oil, is provided with a concavebottom,
it having been found that the same will fa-
cilitate the feed of the air to the draft-tube
- presently to be described. The chamber B,
and likewise the other chambers, are prefer-
40 ably cylindrical in form, and the wall of the
said chamber B is provided in its upper inner
edge with a recessed female threaded portion
for the reception of the succeeding upper
chamber.
45 a indicates a threaded opening cut in the
wall of the chamber B to receive a pipe,
through which oil is fed to the said chamber.
C indicates the intermediate ehamber or
cylinder, which is designed for the receptionof the water. This chamber C, the bottom 50
of which is flat and has a recessed threaded
portion to engage with the threaded portion
of the wall or chamber B, is provided at its
top with a recessed female screw-threaded
portion, similar to that of the chamber B, for 55
the reception of the threaded portion of the
top cylinder or chamber.
e indicates an annular opening, which is cut
in the wall of the intermediate or water cham-
her C. This opening e, the. wall of which is 60o
threaded, is designed to receive a pipe or tube,
through which the water is fed to said cham-
ber.
D indicates the top chamber, in which the
generated vapor or gas from the water and 65
oil is mingled. This chamber D is provided
with a flat bottom portion, the outer edge of
which is recessed and threaded to engage
with the interior threads of the wallof cham-
ber C, and it is also provided at the top of 70
the cylindrical wall with an interiorly -re-
cessed threaded portion to engage the threads
of the cap portion of the burner.
E indicates the cap or top portion of my
burner, the periphery of which is provided 75
with circumferential threads to engage the
threads of top cylinder or chamber D, in the
recess of which it is seated. This cap por-
tion is provided at diametrically- opposite
points on its face about midway between its 80
center and circumference with lugs or pro-
jections b, which serve to facilitate the un-
screwing of the cap when it is desired to re-
move the same.
At the center of the concave bottom of the 85
cylinder B, I provide an annular opening, the
wall of which is threaded to receive a hollow
threaded nut or seat F. This nut F is pro-
vided with an opening through its central
portion, the lower portion of said opening 9o
being larger than the top portion, which is
reduced, as shown, to facilitate the draft or
force of the air-induction.
The wall of the upper portion of the re-
duced opening is threaded, as shown, to re- 95
ceive the threaded end of the air-conducting
tube G, which is preferably of the compara-
tive diameter shown. This tube G, which ex-
