. No. 101,668. Patented April 5, 1870.

JOSEPH SHAOKLETON, OF RAHWAY, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-RADIATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 101,668, dated April 5, 1870.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JosEPH SnAcKLE'i ON, of Rahway, in the county of Union, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and .useful Improvements in Steam-Radiators;
' a top view of the radiator.
A represents the base of the radiator, which ismade of sheet metal of the proper thickness, and the top and bottom plates aremade from a single piece or sheet, and the sides and ends are also of sheet-metal, and in one or more pieces, as may be convenient. The base is divided, transversely or otherwise, into two chambers, B and (J, by a partition-wall, a, (indicated by dotted line b, Fig. 3,) a portion of the side of the base being broken away to show the partition-wall.
The top plate of the base is perforated to receive the rectangular-formed pipes D in as many places as desired, and in the hole for each pipe a screw-thread is cut, so that one end of pipe D will be over the inductionchamber 0 and the other end over the oppositechamber B. The pipes D form a rectangle, and the uprightparts of said pipes are screwed into the top plate of the base firmly and securely, while the top ends are screwed into the right-angled pieces that form the angle, and the top or.horizontal piece is finished with a right and left hand screw-thread, and
tofit in and screw into the angle-pieces at the top ends of the two upright pieces, and thus form the connection between the two chambers B and (l.
E is the induction-pipe, through which the steam is admitted into 0, thence going through pipes D into chamber B. F and G are eduction or outlet pipes, having the proper stop or guage cocks, by which the superabundant and condensed steam is allowed to pass out of each chamber as may be desired.
'means for counteracting the unequal expansion of the pipe and the top and bottom plates of the base, caused by admitting the hot steam in at one side, which will always expand the side at which the steam is so admitted, and cause the top and bottom plates of the base to break at the curved ends of the central opening, and also in expanding the side of the base where the steam is admitted it curves out the side, carrying with it the bottom of the bent connecting-pipes. They being in a continuous piece are apt to crack at the'upper and central part of the curve, or
they will be torn asunder from the base plate, as they are not secured by going through the plate, and in either case causing a leak of steam and rendering the radiator worthless, while with the construction herein shown and described, of having no central opening in the base, and by having the top and bottom plates whole, and having the pipes in pieces and the several parts screwed together and to the top plate of the base, will give sufficient elasticity to the pipe to stand the little unequal expansion of parts, without breaking, cracking, or in any way causing a leak of the steam, either in the pipes, at their joints, or where they are connected to the top plate. Nor can the top or bottom plate be liable to crack apartby the cause that operates to destroy the radiators that have a central opening in the base, as mine is made of a single plate and cannot well be broken by any strain that could be applied by an ordinary steam-heater, but if, by any means, any of the pipes should become broken or useless, any pipe or part of the pipe can be taken out by unscrewing the top or horizontal part first, and then either of the uprights can be unscrewed from the top plate, when another can be put in its place at small cost. Notso with the U-shaped pipes, for whenany break or crack is made in them the whole pipe is worthless, and an entir new one must be had to replace it.
The steam-radiator herein described, having the top and bottom plates of the base, without a central opening, and the connecting-pipes D formed in pieces and screwed together and to the top plate of the base, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
