The tension of the spring 55 is sufficient to
prevent the steam in the chamber 30 from
elevating the slide and permitting the escape
of said steam. One end of the slide or clo-
y sure 52 is provided with a finger opening
58, by means of which the slide may be
readily withdrawn from engagement with
the fingers 57 when it is desired to clean the
interior of the body portion 23.
10 In operation, oil is fed from the tank 37
through the conductor 36 and nozzle 35 to
the oil chamber 26, the quantity of oil dis-
charged at the burner tip being regulated by
turning the finger piece 29. The steam gen-
15 erated in the member 11 passes through the
conductor 24 into the chamber 30 and is di-
rected onto the oil by the cap 44, thus thor-
oughly nebulizing the oil and effecting com-
bustion of the fuel without producing smoke
20 at the burner tip.
In Fig. 8 of the drawings, there is illus-
trated a modified form of the invention, in
which the clamping nut 32 is dispensed with,
the outer end of the tubular member 25' be-
25 ing threaded in the casing, as indicated at 59.
In this form of the device, the outer or coni-
cal end of the tubular member 25' is prefer-
ably flat at 60 instead of being concaved, the
construction and operation of the device be-
30 ing otherwise similar to that shown in Figs.
1 to 4 inclusive of the drawings. In Fig. 8
of the drawings, the conical end of the tubu-
lar member 25 is shown by way of illustra-
tion slightly in advance of the outer face of
35 the cap 44, but it will of course be under-
stood that the position of the flat surface 60
of the tubular member may be varied with
respect to the cap by rotating said tubular
member in the body portion of the burner,
40 the burner shown in Fig. 8 being prefer-
ably used for heating large stoves or fur-
naces.
While the burner is principally designed
for use in connection with heating and cook-
45 ing stoves, it will of course be understood
that the same may be used with equally good
results on boiler furnaces, locomotives, hot
air furnaces or wherever a burner of this
character is found desirable and practicable.
50 When the burner is used in connection
with large furnaces it is preferred to employ
the type having the concaved tip.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is:
55 1. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion, a tubular member disposed within and
spaced from the body portion to form inde-
pendent chambers, one end of the tubular
member being conical in shape and provided
60 with a concave recess, means for admitting
fluid to one of the chambers, means for sup-
plying oil to the other chamber, a valve
operating in the oil chamber, a cap forming
a closure for the opening in the body por-
65 tion and provided with a discharge orifice,a
and a clamping bail connected with said cap
and adapted to engage the body portion for
retaining the cap in position thereon.
2. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion having one end thereof open and pro- 70
vided with threads, a tubular member dis-
posed within and spaced from the body por-
tion to form independent oil and fluid cham-
bers, a flange formed on the tubular member,
a clamping nut engaging the threads on the 75
body portion and provided with a flange
bearing against the flange on the tubular
member, a cap forming a closure for one end
of the body portion and provided with a dis-
charge orifice, and means secured to the cap 80
and engaging the nut for clamping said cap
in position on the body portion.
3. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion having one end thereof open and its
other end threaded, a tubular member dis- 85
posed within and spaced from the body por-
tion to form independent oil and fluid cham-
bers, a valve operating in the oil chamber, a
cap engaging the open end of the body por-
tion and provided with a discharge orifice, a 90
nut threaded on the body portion and engag-
ing the tubular member, and a bail pivotally
mounted on the cap and engaging the nut
for retaining said cap in position on the
body portion. ct
4. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion having one end thereof open, a tubular
member disposed within and spaced from
the body portion to form independent cham-
bers, means for admitting fluid to one of 100
the chambers, a tube extending through the
tubular member and having one end thereof
communicating with the' oil chamber and
its other end operatively connected with a
storage tank, a cap disposed at the open end 105
of the body portion and having a discharge
orifice and laterally extending ears, and a
bail mounted in the ears and adapted to en-
gage the body portion for retaining said cap
in position thereon. 110
5. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion,. a tubular member disposed within and
spaced from the body portion to form inde-
pendent fluid and oil receiving chambers,
a valve operating in the oil chamber, a cap 115
forming a closure for one end of the body
portion and having a shoulder bearing
against the inner wall of the body portion
and a discharge orifice, the wall of which
is spaced from the end of the tubular mem- 120
ber, ears formed on the cap, and a bail
mounted in the ears and adapted to engage
the body portion.
6. A burner including a hollow body por-
tion, a tubular member disposed within and 125
spaced from the body portion to form inde-
pendent oil and fluid receiving chambers, the
exterior wall of the tubular member at one
end thereof being inclined, a cap forming a
closure for one end of the body portion and 130
