WILLIAM H. HOPE, OF PARIS, TEXAS.
OIL-BURNER.1,128,311.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 16,1915.
Application filed March 14, 1914. Serial No. 824,754.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. HoPE, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Paris, in the county of Lamar and State of
5 Texas, have invented new and useful Im-
provements in Oil-Burners, of which the
following is a specification.
This invention is an improved oil burner
for utilizing crude oils for cooking and
10 heating purposes in stoves and furnaces, the
object of the invention being to provide an
improved oil burner of this class which is
extremely cheap and simple, which may be
readily installed, and which is adapted to
15 burn oil practically without smoke.
The invention consists in the construc-
tion, combination and arrangement of de-
vices hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings :-Figure
20 1 is an elevation of an oil burner construct-
ed in accordance with my invention, show-
ing the same arranged in the fire box of a
stove, said fire box being indicated in dotted
lines and the supply tank for the burner be-
25 ing also shown together with the air com-
pressing pump used in connection therewith.
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of my im-
proved burner on a larger scale.
In accordance with my invention I provide
g0 an oil burner which consists essentially of
a pipe which comprises an upper arm 1, a
lower arm 2 and a coil 3 which forms the
connection between the said arms. A pipe
4 is attached to the arm 1 by a coupling 5
35 and is attached to and passes through an
opening in the front wall a of the fire box
and is provided with clamping nuts b for
securing it, and hence also securing the
burner in place. At the front end of the-
40 pipe 4 is a downwardly extending elbow 6
to which is attached a vertical pipe 7 which
is provided with a T 8 that has a regulating
and cutoff valve 9. To the end of the arm 2
is attached an upwardly extending elbow 10.
45 A nipple 11 connects the elbow 10 to an
elbow 12. A pipe section 12a is attached to
the elbow 12 and extends toward the coil 3,
and to the outer end -of said section 12 is
screwed a cap 13 which has a minute jet
50 bore 14 that is directed toward the center of
the coil. This cap has a slit 15 to adapt it
to be readily turned by a screw driver and
hence enable the cap to be readily removed
when desired and for cleaning out the jet
55 bore thereof.
In connection with the burner I providean oil tank 16 which has an air pump 17 for
compressing air in the tank and above the
column of oil therein. This air compress-
ing pump is here shown as connected to the 60
tank by a tube 18 and the tank has a valve
19 for closing connection between the tank
and the air pump when desired. The tank
is also shown as having a pressure gage 20.
A feed tube 21 leads downwardly in the 65
tank to a point near the bottom thereof and
has a cutoff valve 22 at its upper end. A
tube 23 of suitable size connects the feed
tube 21 to the intake tube 7 of the burner.
By compressing air in the tank, which 70
may be readily done by operating the pump,
oil is forced from the tank through the tubes
21 and 23 to the intake tube 8 and hence
through the main portion of the burner.
The burner tube with its arms 1-2 and coil 75
3 is filled with small wires indicated at 24
in Fig. 2, these wires reducing the capacity
of the burner tube and preventing too rapid
a flow of oil therethrough. The burner
having been initially heated, the oil as .it 80
passes through the same and especially as it
passes through the coil 3 is converted into
gas which escapes from the jet cap 13 and
burns, directing a flame against the coil and
hence keeping the coil highly heated so that 85
when the burner has been started in opera-
tion it requires practically no further at-
tention. By first uncoupling the pipe 4
,from the arm 1 of the burner tube and also
detaching the elbow 10 the wires may be 90
readily withdrawn from the burner tube
and coil should it become necessary to clean
the burner. This, however, will occur very
rarely. The cap may also be readily de-
tached by unscrewing the same from the 95
pipe section 12a. Said elbows 10 and 12
in effect form a reversely turned arm on one
end of the burner tube 2 to direct the jet
cap toward the coil.
Having thus described my invention, I 100
claim
1. The herein described oil burner com-
prising a tube having upper and lower arms
and a coil connecting them, an oil intake
tube connected to the upper arm of the 105
burner and including a member adapted to
pass through a stove wall and provided with
fastening devices, and a reversely curved
tubular arm attached to the lower arm of
the burner tube and provided with a jet cap 110
directed toward the coil, said cap, pipe arms
and coil lying in a common plane.
