Wick actuating device for the lever actuation type for oil burner

A wick actuating device as defined in claimed 1, wherein;

• said operation means comprises a first lever loosely fitted on said wick operating shaft so as to be pivoted about said wick operating shaft, said first lever being pivotally movable between said wick raised position and said wick lowered position;
• said actuation means comprises a second lever fixedly fitted on said wick operating shaft so as to cause said rotation of said wick operating shaft;
• and,
• said connection means operatedly connects said first lever to said second lever so that the pivotal movement of said first lever for vertically moving said wick to carry out the combustion or fire-extinguishing of said oil burner is transmitted through said second lever to said wick operating shaft, and said set means varies the connection angle between said first lever and said second lever to cause the ignition position of said wick to be variably set.

A wick actuating device of the lever actuation type for an oil burner, comprising:

• a wick operating shaft rotatably mounted on said oil burner;
• means for connecting said shaft to a wick received in said oil burner so as to vertically move said wick when it is rotated;
• a first lever loosely fitted at one end thereof on said wick operating shaft so as to be pivoted about said wick operating shaft, siad first lever being pivotally movable between a wick raised position and a wick lowered position;
• a second lever fixedly fitted at one end thereof on said wick operating shaft so as to cause rotation of said wick operating shaft to move said wick vertically between an ignition position to carry out combustion and an extinguished positon to carry out fire-extinguishing of said oil burner;
• and,
• connection means for operatedly connecting said first and second levers to each other so that pivotal movement of said first lever to said wick raised position or to said wick lowered position is transmitted through said second lever to said wick operating shaft for vertically moving said wick respectively to said ignition position or said extinguishing position, said connection means including set means forvarying the connection angle between said first lever and said second lever to cause the ignition position of said wick to be variably set relative to said wick raised position of the first lever.

A wick actuating device of the lever actuation type for an oil burner, comprising:

• a wick operating shaft rotatably mounted on said oil burner;
• means for connecting said shaft to a wick received in said oil burner so as to vertically move said wick when it is rotated;
• an operation lever loosely fitted at one end thereof on said wick operating shaft so as to be pivoted about said wick operating shaft, said operating lever being pivotally movable between a wick raised position and a wick lowered position;
• a shaft actuation lever fixedly fitted at one end thereof on said wick operating shaft so as to cause rotation of said wick operating shaft to move said wick vertically between an ignition position to carry out a combustion and an extinguished position to carry out fire-extinguishing of said oil burner;
• a connection means for operatedly connecting said operation lever to said shaft actuation lever to each other so that movement of said operation lever to said wick raised position or to said wick lowered position is transmitted through said actuation lever to said wick operating shaft for vertically moving said wick respectively to said ignition position or to said extinguished position, said connection means including set means for causing said ignition position of said wick to be variably set relative to said wick raised position of said operation lever;
• said set means comprising a slit formed in said operation lever and a pin slidably mounted on said shaft actuation lever so as to be positionally variably set on said shaft actuation lever in the axial direction thereof and movably fitted in said slit, said slit being formed to be oblique with respect to the sliding direction of said pin so that said operation lever and said shaft actuation lever are engaged with each other through said pin and slit at an angle which is varied depending upon the position of said pin in said slit.
