Abstract: The fuel supply system includes an air pipe which is connected between a fuel oil supply pipe and an inlet side of a forced air passage and is provided at a middle portion thereof with an elevation positioned above any portion of the fuel supply pipe between the air pipe and a pot of the oil burner. The fuel supply system may include an outflow prevention mechanism wherein the elevation formed at the air pipe is above the elevation of the fuel supply pipe and a return pipe, and the return pipe has an elevation positioned between the elevation of the air pipe and that of the fuel supply pipe and is connected between the oil reservoir and the fuel supply pipe.

Abstract: A safety device for an oil burner is disclosed which is capable of effectively and rapidly accomplishing the detecting and stopping of abnormal combustion in the oil burner. The safety device includes an additional flame electrode (72) which is adapted to flow a DC current therethrough when flame of abnormal combustion contacts with the electrode, to thereby detect the abnormal combustion.

Abstract: A construction for preventing oil leakage in an oil burner is disclosed which is capable of effectively preventing oil leakage from an oil burner, particularly, a means for supporting a cartridge-type oil tank on an auxiliary tank when the burner falls down in any direction. The construction includes an oil reservoir mounted through the oil tank supporting means in the auxiliary tank and provided with a through-hole at the side portion thereof facing a combustion mechanism of the burner only through the oil tank is communicated with the auxiliary tank. The auxiliary tank has a volume determined to allow an oil level in the auxiliary tank to be constantly lower than the through-hole of the oil reservoir even when the oil burner falls down in any direction to prevent oil leakage from the oil tank supporting means.

Abstract: A pot-type oil burner is disclosed which is capable of effectively preventing the generation of bad odor and soot during the igniting operation by turning on an electric heater positioned above a heat-resistant fabric spread on the bottom surface of a pot to previously heat the pot and fabric to a temperature sufficient to vaporize fuel oil prior to introducing fuel oil to the pot by means of a nozzle pipe.

Abstract: A red-hot type oil burner capable of effectively accomplishing uniform vaporization of a fuel oil during the normal combustion operation. A heat transfer means is provided between a combustion chamber and a vaporization chamber to transmit a part of combustion heat to the vaporization chamber. The oil burner may be provided in a mixing chamber with a diffusion plate having a cutout to allow the ignition to be rapidly and safely effected. The oil burner may be also provided with a device for preventing the generation of a bad odor. There is also disclosed a red-hot type oil burner capable of surely confirming the completion of the igniting and fire extinguishing operations.
