por to the tubes 7. It will be observed that owing to the chamber 6 being of elongated form, as shown, and the fact that the oil will flow in the direction of the least resistance a 5 proper feeding of the oil to the burner and of the vapor to the burner-tubes is insured; but in the event of any irregularity in the feed oc- curring the vapor contained in the storage- compartments 18 will act as a reserved source xo to supply the jet-openings and obviate extin- guishment of the burner. Attention is di- rected to the fact that the absorbent 11 will obviate overflow of the oil from the apron 9, and, further, that the plug 13 when removed 15 permits of access being readily had to the in- terior of chamber 6 for purposes of cleaning. From the foregoing it is apparent that I produce a comparatively simple inexpensive device admirably adapted for the attainment 20 of the ends in view, it being understood that minor changes in the details herein set forth
may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention. Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 25 In a burner of the type described, a body having an internal vaporizing-chamber and a projecting marginal apron, the latter being provided with an upper concaved face, an ab- sorbent material arranged in the concaved 30 face of the apron, a plurality of burner-tubes connected for communication with the vapo- rizing-chamber and having jet-openings, and a feed-tube connected with the body for supply- ing fuel to the chamber. 35 In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
