SHIELD FOR RADIATORS.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMANN RoMfiNDnR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mishawaka, in the county of St. Joseph and State-of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shields for Radiators, of which the following is aspecification.
The invention relates to a shield for radiators constructed mainly of wood in a manner to prevent warping, the construction providing an effective guard against the direct upward current of heat from the radiator and acting as a deflector to direct the heat out into the room. I
The .main object of the present'invention is the provision of a radiator shield in which the. guard sections, comprising the top and ends are constructed of three or more ply veneer, whereby to prevent warpin and at the same time lower the -heat con uctivity as compared with" a solid strip of wood.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a shield having a fabric strip to seal the juncture of the shield and wall in rear of the radiator, whereby to prevent heat currents from passing up the side of the wall and thereby obviate the soiling of the wall decorations incident to the deposit of dust or the like thereon under the influence of said heat current.
The invention in the preferred form of details will be described in the following specir fication, reference being had particularly to the accompanying drawings, .in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved shield. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
The improved shield includes what may be termed a frame comprising a comparatively narrow rear strip'l from which, adjacent the ends, depend uprights 2. Cleats 3 project forwardly from the rear strip 1, be-
ing preferably mortised flush in the upper edge of the rear strip as at 4 and extending forwardly the desired distance at right angles to the rear strip. Shield ends 5 are secured to the side edges of the uprights and cleats, the rear edges of the ends being flush with the rear surface of the strip 1, and being cut away at 6 to fit around said strip. The forward edges of the ends may be of plain or ornamental outline as desired. The top 7, which corresponds approximately 1n length to the length of the strip 1, and thus Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 24,1914.
Application filed April 16, 1913. Serial No. 761,5 54.
projects beyond the sides of the ends, is secured to the upper edge of the strip 1 and extends forwardly in advance of the forward edge of the ends, said strip being supported by, and if desired secured to the cleats 3. That portion of the top in advance -'of'the forward edge of the ends is downwardly curved as at 8, forming a bend which materially stifi'ens the top and serves to prevent the same from sagging.
A salient feature of the present inventionis the-construction of the top and ends of a multiple-ply veneer, which, as is well known,
1 tends to render said sections in efiect proof against injury from water and heat, while at the same time tending to decrease the heat conductivity of said sections as compared with a solid strip. To further reduce the heat conductivity I may, if preferred, line the lower or inner surface of the top 7 throughout its length and breadth, or any particular portion thereof, with a sheet of asbestos or similar material, 9.
The rear stri 1 is formed with a longitudinally-exten ing channel 10, opening through its rear surface, in which is secured a strip 11 of felt or the like, having a normal thickness exceeding the depth of the channel, whereby to project'said strip in part sired suitable fastenings passed through the strip 1. In this position the radiator is in efl'ect incased between the ends and top of the shield, and the heat currents instead of taking their usual upward trend are compelled to pass outwardly beneath the top,
and are by the bend 8 directed downwardlytoward the floor to secure the maximum heating effect. In this position the felt strip 11 acts as a sealing strip between the shield and wall, effectively preventing the upward passage of heat currentsalong side the wall in order to obviate the spoiling or marring of adjacent wall decorations, as is usually incident to the deposit thereon of, dust particles carried .by such currents.
. The shield is effective in preventing direct contact with'the radiator, and by reason, of the multiple-ply veneer construction of the top and ends will remain intact and of service under prolongedheat influence from any radiator.
' What I claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent is 1. A shield including a frame comprising top secured to the cleats and ends, said rear strip being formed with a longitudinal channel, and a sealing strip seated in the channel and having a normal thiclmess exceeding the depth .of. the channel.
2. A shield including a frame comprising a rear strip, uprights depending therefrom, ends secured to the uprights, a top secured to the rear strip and ends and projecting forwardly of said ends and curving downwardly, and a sealing strip secured to and longitudinally of the rear strip.
3. A shield including a frame comprising a rear strip, a top secured ,to the rear strip, end brackets secured to the top and the rear strip, the top projecting forwardly of the end brackets and curving downwardly, and a sealing strip secured to and longitudinally of the rear strip.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
