JAMES MONTGOMERY HOWZE, OF STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS.
OIL-BURNER.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Nov. 8, 1910.
Application filed January 17, 1910. Serial No. 538,499.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. HOWZE, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Ste-
phenville, in the county of Erath and State
5 of Texas, have invented certain new' and use-
ful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which
the following is a specification.
My invention relates to oil burners partic-
ularly adapted as an attachment to the ordi-
10 nary coal stove, my object being to provide a
simple efficient burner without air valves or
other complicated paraphernalia.
In the accompanying drawings, which
show my invention, Figure 1 is a section
15 through an ordinary coal cook stove show-
ing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is
a central longitudinal section through the
burner, and, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of
the burner and its pipe removed.
20 As is ordinary, I provide an oil storage
tank 10 from which leads a feed pipe 11 hav-
ing therein a regulating valve 12 and having
its discharge end terminating forwardly of
the stove A at a point above its draft doors a.
25 My burner comprises an elongated casing
13 triangular in cross-section, as shown, hav-
ing a central threaded opening 14 in one
face and a longitudinal series of openings 15
in another face, and a longitudinal series of
30 discharge openings 16 in the junction edge
of said faces. To the threaded opening 14
is adapted to be attached the threaded end of
a burner pipe 17, the opposite end of which
is provided with a funnel 18 to receive the
35 oil from feed pipe 11. In this manner, there
being no actual connection between the
burner pipe and the feed pipe, the latter
may be maintained at a comparatively low
temperature, permitting it to be handled.
40 Also the feed of the oil may be seen at this
point and may be thus better regulated
through valve 12.
Tapped into the ends of the casing 13
are a pair of set *screws 19 which extend
45 through longitudinal slots in the adjusting
arms 20 of the drip pan 21 suspended, by
this means, below and from said casing 13.
This particular connection of the drip pan
is of great advantage in an attachment of
50 this character, in order to assure its fit with-in different type coal stoves in some of
which it may be necessary to tilt casing 13
and swing the drip pan in order that the
same may be directly below said casing.
When in position within a stove as shown 55
in Fig. 1, the draft through door a is taken
advantage of, although a good quantity
thereof is drawn in through burner pipe
17 from its funnel-shaped end, the-oil drop-
ping through openings 16 on to the burning 60
pan 21, and the gas escaping through the
openings 15.
I claim:
1. An oil burner comprising a casing hav-
ing inlet and outlet apertures, the latter 65
opening downwardly, a drip pan having
slotted arms, and connecting members ex-
tending through the slots of said arms and
into the burner casing, whereby to suspend
the drip pan below the casing for adjust- 70
ment toward and from the same and to
swing thereabout.
2. An oil burner comprising an elongated
casing triangular in cross-section having a
central inlet opening in one face, a longi- 75
tudinal series of openings in another face,
and a. longitudinal series of discharge open-
ings in the junction edge of said faces, and
a drip pan having arms adjustably connect-
ed to the ends of said casing. 80
3. An oil burner comprising an elongated
casing, triangular in cross-section, having a
central inlet opening in one face, a longi-
tudinal series of openings in another face,
and a longitudinal series of discharge open- 85
ings in the junction edge of said faces, a
burner pipe connected at one end to said
inlet opening and provided with a funnel-
shaped opposite end, to receive oil from a
feed pipe, a drip pan provided with slotted 90
arms, and set screws extending through the
slots in said arms and tapped into the ends
of said casing.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of witnesses.
JAMES MONTGOMERY HOWZE.
