Specification of Letters Patent. Patentedjs ept. 22, 1914:

Application filed July 19, 1913. Serial No. 779,959.

To all whom it may} concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE CUGLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in heaters, especially adapted i'or incubators.

The object of my invention is to provide a heater which will be so constructed as t eliminate all danger from fire.

A -more particular object or my invention is to provide a heater in which a permanently fixed support is provided for the lamp and to so arrange the other parts that the lamp may bereadily removed and replaced. i

A. further object of the invention is'to simplify and make more effective devicesof this character. N r

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 isa side elevation of a device embodying myimprovements showing the parts in position for use. Fig. 2 is also a side elevation but showing the parts in a position to permit the removal or replacing of the lamp. Fig. 3 is a vertical. section of the heater showing the lamp in position therein.

1 Like parts are represented by similar characters of reference in the several views Inappa-ratus of this character, one of the forms of heat circulating devices employed consists of a boiler formed with an open central portion, and there is also employed for generating the heat, an oil lamp, the chimney of which extends'up through the open central portion or theboiler, in consequence of which it has previously been necessary to support the heating device upon a removable base in order that it may be dropped down sufliciently to permit its flue to clear the parts of the heat circulating device upon being removed or replaced. In order that it may be readily accomplished it has also been common to attach this removable heater support with the main casing of the apparatus in a manner to permit the ready detachment of the parts, such as by spring catches. Such a manner of supporting the heater, however, is dangerous and has been condemned for the reason that the parts are liable to become detached, allowing the heater to fall and thereby causing fire. In order to overcome this Oh 1 jection I have provided a permanent support for the lamp and devised other means for permitting the removal and replacement of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents a main casing of theusual design, having an open side and also provided with earsfZby which it may be connected with the wall a of the incubator or other device with which the heater is used. The heat circulating .device, in the present case is a boiler, and its jacket. The boiler is represented by 3 and is of the usual construction in that it'has an open central portion and an annular water space to which are connected the usual circulating pipes 3 This boiler is removably supported within the b01161 acket 1, which 13 provided Wlilll a series of ribs 5 to provide a spacebetween the acket and the boiler for the c1rculat1on of the heat. The jacket in the present case. differs from the style of jackets heretofore employed in that it has a telescoping portion a formed with a central upwardly ex tending fine 6;; the part 4 of the jacket being permanently attached at its upper outturned end to the upper end of the casing 1 so as tomake it immovable or stationary. The two parts ofthe jacket are arranged to be connected together by a bayonet joint as shown in Figs. 1 and 2; the upper stationary member of the jacket having a laterally projecting pin 7, and the lower movable portion of the jacket having a slot 8 reached by a flaring mouthed opening 9 so that the removable portion may be hooked over the pin in the manner shown in Fig. 2 to hold the removable portion in raised position. p

The lower portion of the main casing 1 has riveted thereto a bottom portion 10 which has two cross members 11 which form a support for the heating device, in the present case a lamp 12. This lamp 12 is of any suitable form but in the present case is provided with a short chimney 13 over which the flue portion 6 of the boiler jacket is adapted to telescope so as to form a continuation of the chimney and in effect a part thereof. p

In the operation of the device, when it is desired to remove the lamp the movable portion 4 of the boiler jacket is raised and suspended on the pin 7 as shown in Fig. 1. This disconnects the lamp chimney and flue portion 6 and permits the lamp to be re moved through the open side of the casing 1. Upon replacing the lamp, the portion 4 is disconnected from the pin 7 and slid downwardly on the permanent portion 4: until the flue portion 6 telescopes the short is of sheet metal of gradually decreasing diameter toward the top so; that it not only provides a support for the movable portion 4? of the boiler jacket but also provides a more or less tight joint between its upper end and the flue portion 6 and permits the ready telescoping of the parts. a

By this construction it will beseen that the supports 11 for the lamp are permanent c supports in'that they are permanently-fixed to the maincasing 1, thus obviating all danger of the lamp falling out of the device when in use, and at the same timemeans are provided for permitting the ready removal and replacing of the lamp.

"Having thus described my invention, I

claim":

Copies/of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the T Washington, .D. G..

. In a heating apparatus, a boiler formed stationary, I a flue carriedv by the movable portion of said boiler jacket and entering the open central portion of said boiler, a

heater, a permanent support'for said heater, and a flue connected with said heater and adapted to telescope with said-boiler jacket chimney 13. This short chimney portion l3 flue l l said boiler jacket having a movable telescopic portion, a boiler formed with an open central portion supported in said jacket, a

support at the lower end of the main casing for said heater; and a 'flue connected with said heater adapted to telescope withflthe said boiler jacket flue. I

4. In a heating apparatus, a main casing, a boilerjacket connected with said casing,

said boiler jacket having agmovable telescopic portion,'a boiler formed with an open central portionsupported in sa1d acket, a heater, a permanent support at the lower end of said main casing for said heater,'anda= 3. In a heating apparatus, amain casing, a boiler acket connected with; said casing,

flue connected with thevmov'able' portion of 7 said jacket and adapted to communicate" with said heater, said fine extending into the open central portion-of said boiler;
