HOT-WATER AND STEAM BOILER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1912.

Application filed. January 9, 1912. Serial No. 670,236.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP BRUNK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lorain, in the county of Lorain and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hot-Water and Steam Boilers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in hot water or steam boilers for heating purposes and has for its object to provide a boiler of simple, practical and inexpensive construction, which is economical in the use of fuel, is easily cleaned and may be readily disconnected for the purpose of making repairs.

With the above and other objects in View as will be understood, the invention consists in certain combinations and arrangements of the parts hereinafter fully described and the novel features thereof will be p articularly pointed out in the appended claims.

For a clear understanding of the invention, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof, and in the drawings like characters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a hot water boiler illustrating my invention, the

casing being in section to more clearly show the construction; Fig. 2 is an end view of Fig. 1, the casing being shown in section; Fig. 3 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of one of the manifolds; Fig. 4: is a detail sectional view showing the manner of connecting the coil pipes to the manifolds, and Fig. 5 is a fragmental portion of a modification of Fig. 1.

In the drawings 1 represents a plurality of spaced vertical pipe coils having their horizontal portions 2 and 3 oppositely inclined. The lower free end of each coil is connected to an inlet or return manifold 4: and the upper free ends of said coils to a similar outlet manifold 5. A plurality of similar pipe coils 6 are arranged in the spaces between the coils 1 and in a suitable spaced relation thereto to permit free circulation of heated air between the pipes. The free ends of the pi e coils 6 are connected to an inlet manifold 'l' and an outlet manifold 8 similar to those already mentioned. Each manifold consists of an elongated hollow casting 9 having a fiat side 10 and a round ing opposite side 11 which is provided with a central hollow boss 12. Said bosses are connected by means of pipes to radiators of ordinary construction. The flatside 10 of the casting is provided with a plurality of holes 13, and to said side is remov ably secured, by means of tap bolts 14: or in any suitable manner, a plate 15 having openings 16 corresponding to the holes 13 in the cast- 1ng and adapted to register therewith. The openings are countersunk as indicated at 17 and the free ends of the pipe coils are fastened therein as best shown in Fig r. The p1pe coils, arranged and connected to the manifolds as described, are, inclosed in a suitable casing 18 with the bosses 12 of the casting 9 projecting through the sides thereof, and recessed bars 11') carried by the front and rear sides of the casing support said pipe coils and keep them the proper lateral distance apart. The pipe coils may be heated in any suitable manner, but preferably by means of a gas burner consisting of a plurality of transversely extending perforated tubes 20 supported in the casing and connected to a longitudinal pipe 21 provided with a shut off valve 22 for controlling the gas supply.

The hollow bosses 12 of each outlet manifold 5 or 8 and each inlet manifold 4: or 7 may be connected to any ordinary radiator or a series of radiators in the usual manner. Or the outlet manifoldds 5 and 8 may be connected by a pipe 23, from which extends a branch 24 leading to a radiator or a series of radiators, and the inlet manifolds 4c and 7 may be similarly connected by a pipe 25 and branch 26 to the radiators.

The casing 18 is provided with a chimney opening 27 and also with a plurality of suitable doors such as indicated at 28 and 29 for obtaining ready access to the interior of the boiler to clean the same or make repairs.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 5, a hollow casting 30 serves the purpose of a steam dome, and at each side thereof depends a hollow portion or manifold 31, having a flat inner side 32 provided with openings 33 similar to the casting 9.

Pipe coils

34 and 35 are connected to plates 36 which are removably secured to the fiat sides 32 in the manner already described. Steam outlet pipes 37 lead from the casting 30 and may be connected to a radiator or a series of radiators in any suitable manner.

From the foregoing it is apparent when the hot 'water boiler is connected to the radiators, that a gas flame or other heating means under the pipe coils will quickly heat the same and cause the hot water to circulate; or in the care of the steam boiler, if the hollow casting 30 is partially filled with water, steam would be generated and driven through the radiators.

The boilers may be quickly cleaned as the pipe coils are readily accessible, and should the pipe coils become choked, the plates 15 and 86 may be easily disconnected from the manifolds and the pipes be blown out.

It is to be understood, that slight changes in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts may be resorted to, without sacrificing any of the advantages or departing from the principle of the invention.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

1. In a heating boiler, the combination of a plurality of pipe coils, a pair of hollow castings having a plurality of openings, a pair of plates having the free ends of the pipe coils fixed therein and adapted to register with the openings in said castings, means for removably securing the plates to the hollow castings, a casing inclosing the pipe coils, means for heating the pipe cells, and means for connecting the hollow castings to a radiator, substantially as described.

2. In a heating boiler, the combination of a plurality of pipe coils, a pair of hollow castings having a flat side provided with a plurality of openings, a pair of plates having countersunk holes arranged to register with the openings in the flat sides of said hollow castings and the free ends of the pipe coils rolled in said holes, means for removably securing the plates to the flat sides of said hollow castings, a casing inclosing the pipe coils, means for supporting the pipe coils from the sides of the casing, means for heating the pipe coils, and means for connecting the hollow'castings to a radiator,

in longitudinal spaced relation and having their free ends extending laterally in the same direction, similar pipe coils arranged in the spaces between the first pipe coils and having their free ends extending in the opposite direction to the free ends of the first named pipe coils, a plurality of hollow elongated castings, a plurality of plates having the free ends of the pipe coils fixed therein, means for removably securing the plates to the hollow elongated castings, a casing inclosing the pipe coils, means for supporting the pipe coils from the sides of the casings, heating means arranged below the pipe coils, and means for connecting the hollow elongated castings to a radiator, substantially as described.

4. In a heating boiler, the combination of a plurality of vertical pipe coils arranged back of each other in spaced relation, other pipe coils arranged in the spaces between the first mentioned pipe coils and having their free ends extending in the opposite direction to the free ends of the first named pipe coils, a hollow elongated casting fixed to the lower free ends of the first and second mentioned pipe coils, a hollow dome casting having sets of openings, plates having the upper free ends of the first and second mentioned pipe coils fixed therein and adapted to register with said sets of openings, means for removably securing the plates to the hollow dome casting, a casing inclosing the pipe coils, means for supporting the pipe coils from the sides of the casing, heating means arranged below said pipe coils, means for connecting the hollow elongated castings to a radiator, and means for connecting the hollow dome casting to said radiator, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I afiix in presence of two witnesses.
