  We examine in detail the predictions of the charged majoron model, introduced
recently by Burgess and Cline, for 0+ --> 0+ double beta decay transitions. The
relevant nuclear matrix elements are evaluated, within the quasiparticle random
phase approximation, for 76Ge, 82Se, 100Mo, 128Te and 150Nd nuclei. The
calculated transition rates turn out to be much smaller than the experimental
upper limits on possible majoron emission, except in a small region of the
model's parameter space.
