To all 'whom i'tjma z concern: Be it known thatI, IsAnoRE WAGNER, a citizen of the United States, residing-at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Radiators, of which theiollowingis a specification.

My invention relates to a hood for radiators.

An object of this invention is to provide means whereby the dust and dirt which usually rise from the radiator may be caught 1 before the same enters the atmosphere of the room.

Another object of my invention is to construct a hood of the above character which i may be used as a temporary stove for warmand the-like are hung on the same to dry,

they become very dirty.

My invention also provides means whereby the ends of clothes which are hung over my hood \villnot become soiled in any way.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists of such details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. In describing my invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or, corresponding parts throughout the several views and in which Figure 1 is an end view of a radiator illustrating the manner in which my improved hood is arranged thereupon; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my hood; Fig. 3 is a View similar to Fig. 1, a modified form of hood being shown; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the hood shown in Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of hood, partly broken away.

In the drawings I have shown a radiator 1 of usual construction to which my device is intended to be fastened.

Figs. 1 and 2 are the preferred form of my invention which comprises a flat body portion 2 formed of resilient sheet metal or i the like, the sides of which are flanged and bent inwardly as at 3, then curved optwardly as shown at 4.. As may be readll'y' a surface upon which articles of food may be placed for urpo'se of warming, 'the com bination of e radiator and hood thus forming a temporary heating stove.

In Figs. 3 and 4 I show different views of one of the modifications of my invention, Fig. 3 showing an end View of the hood attached to the radiator and Fig. 4 showing a perspective view of the same. This modification consists in extending one of the curved sides 3 out into a downwardly inclined apron 6. When the hood is placed upon the radiator, the apron 6 will extend back and contact the wall thereby forming a shield so that no dust can rise in the space between the radiator and the wall.. This is to protect clothes and other articles when hung over the radiator, from the dirt which accumulates behind the same and rises in the form of dust.

In Fig. 5 I have shown another modifie cation of my invention. As air becomes heated, its capacity for moisture is'increased and for this reason warm air always seems very dry. It is my object to remedy this. I attain this end by closing the ends of the curved portions 3 and 4 in any suitable mannor as shown. at 7. This forms a trough S on each side of the hood and water is placed in the'same. The heat of the radiator will evaporate the same and thus'keep the air in the room moist at all times;

I desire it to be understood that the above is merely the preferred form of my invention and that slight changes in the construc-. tion and in the arrangement and combination of the various parts may be resorted to whenever desired without departing from the spirit of the invention provided such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A radiator hood comprising a piece of resilient metal, the respective longitudinal edges of which are bent to yieldably and figlctionally engage the respective radiator s1 es.

- 2. A radiator hood comprisin a iece of resilient metal, the respective ongitudinal gage the radiator sides.

3. A radiator hood comprising a piece of resilient metal, the respective longitudinal edges of which are bent downwardly and inwardly to'yieldably and frictionally engage the respective radiator sides, and a trough formed upon each side of the radiator by a continued bend of the said longitudinal edges, as and for the purpose set forth.

4. As an article of manufacture, a radiator hood constructed of a single piece of resilient material, the sides of said hood being curved inwardly, outwardly, and up- .Wardly, said curved sides adapted to yieldabl and frictionally engage the top of a ra iator for holding said hood thereupon,

mower and means for closing the ends of said curved sides whereby a trough is formed.

5. As an article of manufacture, a radiator hood constructed of a single piece of resilient material, the sides of said hood being curved inwardly, outwardly, and upwardly, said curved sides adapted to yieldably and frictionally engage the top of a radiator for holding said hood thereupon,

and means for closing the ends of said curved sides whereby a trough is formed, the portion of said hood intermediate said curved sides being flat.
