BURNER.

Application filed. September 15, 1925.

This invention relates to liquid and gaseous fuel burners, the primary object of the invention being to provide a burner that will efliciently burn and transform heavy oilsuch as crude oil or the like into a vapor.

An important object of the invention is to i provide a burner of this type wherein the burner will become heated by the burning oil, to the end that oil contacting with the heated portion of the burner will become vaporized to burn readily. V

A still further object of the invention is to provide a corrugated cap against which the vapor contacts to the end that a highly efiicient mixing chamber is produced by the cap.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

which is'in the form of a depression rovid ed in the upper portion of the b0 y portion 5;

Communicating with the reservoir 7 is a feed pipe 11 through which oil from a suitable source of supply may pass into the reservoir 7 to feed the burner. Disposed above the burner proper is a dome or cap 12 which is concavo-convex, the concaved surface thereof being corrugated as at 13 to increase the heating surface thereof. Arms indicated at 14k are formed integral with the dome 12 and extend outwardly and downwardly where they are provided with cut out portions to be fitted over the upper edge of the body portion, to the end that the dome 12 is supported in spaced relation with the upper portion of the body.

Baffle points indicated at 15 are arranged in spaced relation with each other throughout the pan 10, which baffle points become sates.

heated and aid in thevaporization of the 7 fuel. From the foregoing it will be obvious becomes heated and vaporizes, passing upwardly under the dome 13 where it mingles with air passing-through the central portion of the-burner from where the fuel is spread and passesto the outer edge of the Thus it willvbe seen that due to this construction, the flame which is produced at the periphery of the hood or cap 12 is circular information, resulting in an even heat being produced throughout the area of the burner. It is of course understood that the initial heating of the burner is accomplished by placing a small quantity of fluid in the pan llO which may be lighted to heat the hood and upper extremities of the tubes 6.

We claim y In a burner, a hollow body portion having a central opening and having a trough formed in the upper surface thereof, a reservoir disposed in the hollow body portion and having spaced pipes extending upwardly from the reservoir, the upper ends of the pipes being inclined and lying in a plane with the trough, a" cap supported'above the body portion in spaced relation therewith In testimony that we claim the foregoing and directly above the pipes, the cap being as our own, we have hereto affixed our sigprovided with a corrugated under surface natures. defining grooves to direct fuel downwardly V e 5 to the trough, and the spaces between the HENRY SMOYER.
