Fitted to the upper end of the fuel tube
14 is a discharge tip 26 the tip being pref-
erably removably threaded onto the said end
of the tube and being provided with a closed
5 top 27 and in its opposite sides with .dis-
charge orifices 28 preferably in the nature of
narrow slots. The burner head 20 is sub-
stantially dome-shaped its larger end being
of course its upper end and consequently as
10 steam passes up through the tube 15 and
past the tip 26 it is permitted to expand
within the said burner head. The flow of
steam past the said tip will of course induce
flow of liquid fuel through the orifices 28 of
1-5 the said tip into the head and the steam will
of course vaporize the fuel before it issues
from the head. In the present instance the
vaporized fuel is discharged from the
burner head in a slheet or film and in order
20 that this *1ay 'be accomplished the head is
provided in one side with a discharge orifice
29 which extends a greater or less distance
around the said head apd which, like the ori-
fices 28, is.preferably in the nature of a rela-
25 tively narrow slot. It will be apparent that
prior to discharge of the fuel through the
orifices 28, the fuel as it passes upwardly
through the tube 14 is sibj.ected to the heat-
ing action of the steam within the tube 15
30 and therefore it is more readily vaporized.When it is desired to clean" the fuel tube
and the branch 2, it is not necessary to take
the burier.apart for by .opening the valve 12
steam will be admitted 'through the valve
casing to the said branch 2 and will blow 0a
.out through the tip 26 any accumulations
within the said branch 2 and the fuel tube.
I-aying thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is:
In a liquid fuel burner, a steam tube, a 40
union haying an upstanding branch, alat-
eral branch,. and a downwardly extending
branch, the steam tube being fitted at its
lower end into the first-mentioned branch of
the union, ,i steam-supply pipe fitted into the 45
lateral branch of the'union, a hollow mixing
head fitted to and in communication with
the steam tube at the upper end thereof and
having a discharge orifice, a fuel supply
pipe fitted at its lower end in. the down- 50
wardly extending branch of the union and
extending upwardly within the union and
within the steamn tube and spaced from the
walls of the steam tube, the upper end .of the
fuel tube extending within the mixing head 55
and provided with a discharge orifice, and
a fuel supply pipe communicating with the
lower end of the' said' fuel tube.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
