Applica.tio3 filed I.ay w. 1913. Serial No. 767,34.Tal vhoia it may concern:
Be it known hat I A tTr FO, ( citi..
Zen of the United States, residing at We-
lington, in the county of zolingsworth and
5 State of rTexa, have invented new and use-
fiil Tmiproveniei'sl i Atomatic Liquid-
Fuel Regulators for ti-eimnrtors, of
which the following is a sp)'ificion.1
T his invention is improved aUlltP1matic
to liquid fuel feed regulator for steam genera
tors e pei lly adapted for use in connection
with steam generators in which liquid hy-
drocarbon or gs is used as fuel, the object
of the invention heing to provide an nm
15 proved nechauim of this kind which whlien
properly(1 adsted will automatically regu-
late the supply of liquid fuel to the. hrners
of the rlirnace aecord(Ingt to the pressure
of the steam in the boiler andm thus serve to
20 autom7atically keep the 'team 11 any ?('+-
sure desired nd lie '1t (waste of f PlC]
and ilso prevent au u il-lici(lent (llantity t o
fuel fromt being supplied to the furnace.

In the accompanying drains: Figure 1
is an elevation of a liquid fuel feed re'gula
tor Con'tr1 lcted in accordance with lly in-
30 vention, showing the neic arranged in op-
erative relation to a steam boiler and its
furnace. Fig. 2 is a detail elevation of the
improved automatic liquid fuel feed regrula-
tor. on. a larger scale, and with the cylinder
35 of the steam pressure ,e tnuated mechanism
in section. Fig. 3 is a detail transverse see-
tional view on the plane indicated by' the
line a-a of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail hori-
zontal sectional view of the rocker segment
40 on the plane indicated.,by the line b-b of
Fig. 2 and showing the valve actuated lever
in plan.
For the purposes .of this specification, I
show in Fig. 1 of the drawings a steam
45 boiler at 1, its furnace at 2 and a tank or
reservoir for liquid hydrocarbon for use -as
fuel to be burned by the burners of the fur-
nac6 at 3. Where the invention is for use in
connection with a furnace in which gas is
50 burned.as a fuel, the reservoir 3 will be re-
placed by a suitable gas bell or a supply
pipe leading from an ordinary gas system
will be utilized.
In accordance with my invention, I pro-
55 vide the fuel supply pipe 4, which leads
from the source of liquid hydrocarbon orgas to the burue' or YVrnrIs T -1
