VIRGIL H. MILLS AND JOHN H. T. MILLS, OF HUBBARD, TEXAS.
OIL-BURNER.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 11, 1911.
Application filed October 5, 1910. Serial No. 585,414.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, VIRGIL H. MILLS
and JoIN.H. T. MILLS, citizens of the United
States, residing at Hubbard city, in the
5 county of Hill and State of Texas, have. in-
vented certain new and useful Improve-
ments in Oil-Burners, of which the follow-
ing is a specification.
This invention relates to hydrocarbon
10 burners and more particularly to that class
of burners especially designed for burning
crude petroleum and other hydrocarbon oils.
The object of the invention is to provide
a strong, durable and thoroughly practical
15 burner, the.cons'truction of which is such as
to produce a maximum degree of heat with
a minimum consumption of fuel.
A further object is to provide a hydro-
carbon burner, in which a jet of steam or
20 air is directed on the oil for the purpose of
atomizing -the fuel and effecting combustion
of the latter without producing smoke at
the burner tip.
A further object is to provide a novel
25 form of nozzle which may be adjusted to
regulate the discharge of steam and oil
therefrom without the steam exerting a
back pressure on the oil and checking the
flow of fuel to the burner tip.
30 A further object is to provide a burner
capable of being readily taken apart with-
out the employment of specially constructed
tools so that the burner may be quickly
cleaned, when necessary.
35 A still further object of the invention is
generally to improve this class of devices
so as to increase their utility, durability and
efficiency.
Further objects and advantages will ap-
40 pear in the following description, it being
understood that various changes in form,
proportions and minor details of construe-
tion may be resorted to within the scope of
the appended claims.
45 For a full understanding of the invention
and the merits thereof, reference is to be
had to the following description and ac-
companying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cook-
50 ing stove provided with a hydrocarbon
burner constructed in accordance with our
invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional
view, showing the manner of supporting the
burner in position on a stove; Fig, 3 is alongitudinal sectional view of the burner; 55
Fig. 4 is a top plan view, partly in section;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the burner
detached; Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view,
showing the connection between the genera-
tor and burner; Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional 60
view of one end of the oil tank, showing the
construction of the float; Fig. 8 is a longitu-
dinal sectional view, illustrating a modified
form of burner.
Corresponding and like parts are referred 65
to in the following description and indi-
cated in all the views of the drawings by
the same reference characters.
The improved hydrocarbon burner form-
ing the subject matter of the present inven- 70
tion is principally designed for use in con-
nection with heating and cooking stoves and
by way of illustration is shown applied to
a cooking stove of the ordinary construction,
in which 5 designates the body of the stove, 75
6 the fire box and 7 an opening through
which access may be had to the interior of
said fire box.
The opening 7 is normally closed by a
flat plate 8 having openings 9 and 10 formed 80
therein, one of which is adapted to receive
the burner and the other a. generator 11,
said plate being detachably secured to the
front of the stove by bolts or similar fas-
tening devices 12. The generator 11 com- 85
prises a tubular member or pipe 13 having
its inner end projecting downwardly with-
in the fire box 6 and provided with a down-
wardly and forwardly projecting exten-
sion 14. 90
The outer end of the generator is pro-
vided with a detachable cap 15 having a
safety valve 16 to permit the escape of
steam from the generator should the pres-
sure in the latter become excessive. 95
Water is supplied from a tank 17 through
a conductor 18 having one end thereof con-
nected with a nozzle 19 projecting through
the adjacent wall of the generator, said tank
being provided with a flat valve 20 in order 100
to insure a uniform flow of water from the
tank to the generator.
An air tank 21 is arranged near the stove
for connection with a tube 22 extending
through the cap 15 for the purpose of forc- 105
ing air through the generator to the burner
when starting the device.
The above enumerated parts are shown99'7,5'74.
