Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 16, 1912,.

Patented Feb. 3, 1914.

Serial No. 684,209.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DORSEY S. WEBB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Traverse City, in the county of Grand Traverse and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

The general object of the invention is to utilize the heat which passes through a chimney for heating rooms; and to this end the invention consists in certain improved constructions, arrangements, and combinations of devices, which will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claim.

Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodiment of my invention of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which;

Figure 1 is a view partly in side elevation and vertical section of one embodiment of the invention showing it arranged to utilize the heat passing through a chimney which is shown in vertical section, for heating adjacent rooms. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of Fig. 1.

In the drawings a indicates the chimney and b?; the rooms between which the chimney extends vertically. The plates 55 are set into openings in the opposite faces of the chimney a which are presented to the rooms Z)b and are secured at their upper ends by the angular-shaped flanges 6-6 which extend over the lower faces and inner sides of the bricks at the upper ends of the openings and form benches or supports for the said bricks and those which they support. The flanges 77 at the lower ends and opposite sides of the plates 55 lap the lower ends and opposite sides of the opening, as shown in Fig. 2.

The radiators 88 may be of any preferred contour and they are herein shown to present the appearance of rectangular shaped boxes whose outer faces are preferably but not necessarily plain. The baflies 9.-9 in the radiators 88 as shown in Fig.

passage through the chimney interrupted so that. the heated gases rising to the lower dampers are caused thereby to pass through the lower flues 1010 upwardly through the radiators 88, and then through the upper flues 10-10 before they again pass into the chimney a. This directing of the gases through the radiators results in the heating of the latter and the consequent heating of the air in the rooms b?). When it is desired to heat only one room, for instance the room on the left in Fig. 1, the dampers are turned until they close the openings 1212.

The heated gases now rising through the chimney will strike the lower damper 13 and pass through the radiator and the fines 1010. When the dampers on the right in Fig. 1 are arranged similarly to those on the left, both radiators will be out 01f and the gases passed in the usual manner through the chimney. The damper rods 1414 which turn the dampers 13 may be of any approved or ordinary construction and arranged so that they may be readily turned to operate the dampers to which they are fixedly secured.

Although I have shown an arrangement, whereby, two rooms may be heated simultaneously by the heated gases passing through a chimney which is located between the rooms, it must be understood that I do not intend to limit myself to this particular arrangement of parts since it will be manifest that the device may be used equally as well with a chimney with which communication can be made from one room only, in which event, of course, it Will be understood that but one radiator will be employed.

WVhat I claim as neW is: v

5 In a heating apparatus of the class described, the combination of a pair of plates adapted to be arranged in opposite openings in a chimney, radiators arranged in spaced relation to the front faces of said plates,

10 lines directed through said plates and connected to the opposite ends of the radiators,

and dampers for controlling the passages through the fines and adapted to cooperate to control the passage through the chimney.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature 15 in presence 01 tWo Witnesses.
