Application tiled August 161909. Serial No. 513,134.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN C. CoLpIGAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Corsicana, in the county of Navarro and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the'following is a specification.

The present invention relates to hydrocarbon burners and has for its purpose to provide an improved device of that character wherein the iame may be regulated so as to variably distribute its area, and to permit of this adjustment of the burner4 while the same is in use.

A further purpose of the invention is to provide a burner of .the character in question wherein the vapor and the f uel are thoroughly commingled within the burner and at a point removed an appreciable distance from the nozzle outlet.

The burner is so designed and constructed that either-a high or low pressure of steam or air may be used as the means for atomizing, mixing or spraying the oil as it enters the furnace and which by reason of the peculiar means for regulation above stated` makes the burner particularly applicable for use in cement kilns, wherein cylinders of the horizontal, rotating type are employed, and to which end the present invention is particularly ada ted.

With the a ove purposes view, the ing vention is described, and the manner of operation explained, in the following extended description, and the points of novelty thereof yset forth in the appended claims..

the accompanying drawing wherein is shown the burner in Vits preferred structure, Figure 1 is a view partly in longitudinal section and side elevation. Fig; 2 is "a transverse sectional view of Fig. 1, taken on the line A-A, Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on the line B-B, and Fig. 4 is a view taken along the line Cf-C. i

Referring to the several figures in detail.- and withy like reference characters indicating coesponding parts in the different figures shown, 1 designates a cylinder or pipe which is `fixed and which through an -elbow coupling 2 connects with a pipe 3 thatjleads from the source of the supply of the l-atomizing medium. At its u per end, the 'pipe 1 is rovided with an aldjustable noz'zle 4 whose esign and manner of adjustment willbe hereinafter explained.

Within the pipe 1 and extending about one half the distance 'of its length is a tube 5 which enters at the elbow 2 and which in turn'is connected by anangle valve with a pipe 6 that leads from the sourceof fuel supply. The fuel supply pipe is rigidly and centrally held within the tubular casing or cylinder 1 by means of a cross bar-or,

-spider 7 which is formed integrally with the inner wall of said cylinder. At its upper end the tube 5 is provided with a jet or nozzle 8 which is screw threaded thereon. The outlet 'openin of the jet is disposed '1ntermediate the c v amber provided by the cylinder 1 and the nozzle 4 and is thus removed an appreciable distance from the outlet of said nozzle 4, whereby the fuel and the atomizing fluid may be thoroughly commingled. before passing out of said chamber. baid nozzle is formed with a nut 8 whereby the member may be secured to or removed from position. The upper end of thejet 8 has a restricted passageway 9 therethrough,

whichwhen coperating with the tapered end 10 of a valve constitutes the means for v s raying the fuel ina manner that will be o vious. rl`he valve rod 10 extends throughout the length of the supply tube 5 and through the coupling 6, and at its opposite end is litted with the hand turning wheelfll, whereby adjustment thereof may be effected.

The nozzle 4 of the burner is of substantially conical designand atits upper end terminates in an outwardly disposed or flaring flange 12, which co erating with the head 13v of the bar 14 eects'therfvariable ternal screw .threads 15' that engage with complementary threads V16 on the cylinder 1 whereby to be adjustrably secured thereon. The rod 14 has its, lower end fixed within a cross bar or spider 17 that is' formed integrallywith the cylinder 1 whereby said bar forms the fixed memberfor the relative adjustment thereto of the nozzle 4 as will be clearly seen by reference to Fig. 1.

The means for eifecting the adjustment ofthe nozzle comprises a hand turning gear, the several arts whereof are integrally .formed sproc et teeth 18 on thel lower outer side of said nozzle and with which. sprocket teeth a relatively small pinion 19 is engaged. The pinion 19 is xedly carried upon the upper endA of a vertically disposed v.rod-,20 whose lower end isitted with a handturning wheel- 21.11 The gear operating rod 20 '.s raying of the flame as the fuel is ejected. A i l Tlhe lower'portion of the `nozzlel 4 has 1n` 2O ner that will be obvious.

l jet 9 by the injector action of the atomizing fluid coming through the pipe 3 and through the medium of the latter will be sprayed against the cross bar or spider' 17 Where both fluids will be commingled and in this condition will pass through the restricted passageway provided by the nozzle at which point it issues in the form of a flame whose area or volume may be regulated at will through the hand turning gear 21 in a man- The out flow of the oil may itself be regulated by the hand wheel l1 as explained. Thus through the means of the regulating hand wheels 11 and -12 the burner is absolutely under the con- 25 trol of the operator at all times vand may be so controlled While the burner is in full p operation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent is d 1. In a hydrocarbon-burner, a cylinder having an inlet for an atomizin fluid, a nozzle thereon having a restricte passa eway, a vertically disposed bar xe ly mounted within the cylinder and having a headed end lying within the passageway of `said nozzle, said nozzle being adjustable relative to said bar, a fuel supply pipe terminating Within said cylinder and having a restricted outlet opening, a valve for regulating said opening, and means for adjusting the nozzle. v

1 .2.-l In a hydrocarbon-burner, a cylinder having a nozzle `mounted thereon, and an inlet for an atomizing Huid, a vertically disposed. bar fixed within said cylinder and regulate the out flow ofthe fuel, teeth formed upon the nozzle, a pinion engaging with said teeth,and a'hand turningrod for turning said pinion whereby to adjust said nozzle.

3. In a hydrocarbon-burner, a. cylinder having an inlet for an atoniizing fluid andv formed With sere7 threads at one end, an adjustable nozzle having engagement With said screw threaded end, said nozzle having a restricted outlet opening and an outwardly Vflaring Harige adjacent thereto, a cross bar formed integrally with the cylinder, a Vertical bar lying within the nozzle and having its inner )end secured to s'aid cross bar, said vertical bar having a headed end lying within and adapted to coperate with the outlet of said nozzle, an oil supply pipe within said cylinder having a jet terminating adjacent said cross bar and adapted to spray the fuel thereon, a regulating rod Within said pipe having a pointed end eX- tending through the jet opening and a hand turning wheel at its opposite end, teeth formed upon the lower outer sides of said nozzle, a pinion engaging therewith, and a hand turning rod connected with said pinion and adapted to turn the saine whereby to rotate the nozzle and effect its adj ustinent.

The foregoing specification signed at Corsicana Texas this 11th day of August, 1909.
