Abstract: A fire-extinguishing device for an oil burner capable of preventing a wind blowing against the oil burner from adversely affecting combustion operation of the oil burner through the fire-extinguishing device to ensure safe combustion operation. The device includes a valve for operating an aperture through which an air chamber communicated through a wick receiving chamber to a combustion cylinder construction is communicated to an oil reservoir communicated to an ambient atmosphere. The valve is actuated to open and close the aperture when a wick is at a wick raised position and a wick lowered position, so that air may be supplied from the ambient atmosphere through the space of the oil reservoir, air chamber and wick receiving chamber to the combustion cylinder construction for combustion during combustion operation.

Abstract: A catalyst moving structure for an oil burner capable of facilitating handling of the oil burner in the manufacturing and maintenance as well as covering a combustion gas discharge opening of a combustion cylinder construction of the oil burner when a wick operating shaft is rotated to a fire-extinguishing position, to thereby effectively preventing discharge of bad odor during the fire-extinguishing operation. The catalyst moving structure includes a catalyst moving mechanism including a vertically movable sliding shaft and a connecting rod pivotally mounted on the sliding shaft, a catalyst support member mounted on the sliding shaft, and a movement transmission mechanism including a cam device fitted on the wick operating shaft and a push-up lever operatively connected between the cam device and the connecting rod to transmit actuation of the wick operating shaft to the connecting rod to vertically move the sliding shaft.
