Application ?ledrJ'anuary 28, 1932. Serial No. 588,461.
This invention relates to atomizers and
has particular reference to nozzles employed
in oil-burners for atomizing fuel oil and
ejecting the same into a furnace or other
combustion device.
Among the objects of this invention is the
one end 2, to an oil supply pipe (not shown)
and at the other end 3 to the head 4.. This
head has at its tip 5 a jewel 6 securely set
therein. This jewel 6 is preferably a natural
sapphire, but other jewels such as ruby, dia

The jewel 6 has extending therethrough

A more speci?c object of this invention is
the provision in the distributor of an atom
izer of a jewel at the‘distributing end for
making t is part of the device effectively‘ re
sistant to corrosion and Wear by the oil.
Other, further and more speci?c objects
