ORVILLE G. HALLIBURTON, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
COMBUSTION DEVICE.
1,135,688. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 13, 1915.
Application filed September 8, 1914. Serial No.-860,775.71 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ORVILLE G. HALLI-
BURTON, citizen of the United States, resid-
ing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and
S State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Combustion
Devices, of which the following is a speci-
fication.
This invention relates to new and useful
GC improvements in combustion devices.
The object of the invention is to provide
two burner members arranged to be oper-
ated either in unison or separately together
with means for controlling the amount of
15 fuel oil fed to each member.
Other objects of the invention are, the
provision of a burner base adapted to set
upright in the fire box of a stove and con-
structed to support the burner members;
20 generating pans mounted on the base and
projecting laterally therefrom beneath the
burner members; means for draining the
pans and preventing flooding of the fire box;
and means for facilitating the vaporizing of
25 the'oil.
Another object of the invention resides in
the production of a combustion device pos-
sessing strength, durability and simplicity;
and designed for minimum wear and ar-
80 ranged to be constructed at a minimum ex-
pense.
Referring 'now particularly to certain
novel features of the invention, an example
is described in the following specification
3 and illustrated in the accompanying draw-
ings, wherein:
Figun-e 1 is a side elevation of the com-
bustion device in position in a fire box,.of a
stov, component parts of the latter being
40 shown in section, Fig. 2 is a plan view of
the de ice, Fig. 3 is a. transverse section
taken on t-he line X-X of Fig. 1, Fig. 4 is
S Usectiona detail of one of the pans, . and
Fig..t is a transverse sectional detail of the
-,.rear burner member feed pipe.
In the drawings the numeral 1 designates
a metal base constructed to fit in the fire box
of a stove, and rest on the grate as shown
in Fig. 1.'- The base has an elongated cen-
59 tral web 2 connecting its ends la. Two
burner members 3 are mounted on the base
and each comprises a length of pipe bent to
form &' U-shaped vaporizer, the' parallel
afms 4 and 5 of each member in operative
6' position are disposed horizontally and oneabove the other, the lower arm 5 of each be-
ing provided with a small hole or orifice 6
over which a spreader 7 is mounted on the
upper arm 4. I have designated the member
3a at the left of Fig. 1 as the front burner 60
member and the other as the rear burner
member 3.
The members 3 and 3a.are supplied by
feed pipes 8 and 9, the former leading to the
front member and the latter to the rear 65
member. The feed pipes' are disposed on
opposite sides of the web 2 and each is con-
nected to its respective burner member by
a vertical pipe 10 in- which a union 11 is in-
cluded. By means of the unions it is possi- 70
ble to remove the members 3 and 3a without
disturbing the pipes. The members are
alined on the same side of the web and par-
allel thereto, the pipe 9 being connected
-through the web with its-respective pipe 10 75
as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The burner members being at one side of
the web are disposed each over a pan 12
mounted on the web and projecting later-
ally therefrom. Each pan is located so that 80
the center of each hole 6 and the center of
the pan will be substantially in a vertical
line.
Each pan has a hopper bottom as is best
shown in Fig. 4. From the center of each 85
pan a nipple 14 depends and is received in
the end of a drain pipe 15. The pipes 15 are
connected to a pipe 16 extending out of the
fire box and having a valve 17 as shown in
Fig. 1. It is apparent that an'y oil leaking 90
from the burner 'members when the latter
are not in operation will be caught in the
pans and- carried off by the pipes 15 and 16
when the valve 17 is open.
The feed pipes 8 and 9 extend through the 95
front end 1a of the base 1 and each is con-
nected to a regulating valve 18 which is dis-
posed on the outside of the stove. The
valves 18 are connected by a pipe 19 which
in turn has connection with a pipe 20. Fuel 100
oil is fed from a reservoir (not shown) by
means of the pipe 20. The reservoir or
other supply is located above the burner
members -3 and 3a, a gravity feed thus being
had. .105
In operating' the device the valve 17 is
closed and the valves 18 opened. Fuel oil
passes from the, pipe 19 into each valve and
then into the feed. pipes 8 and 9. In the.
pipe' 9 a wire 21 is disposed which aids in 310
