HEAT-RADIATING ATTACHMENT FOR GAS AND OIL ILLUMINATING-BURNERS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented'lteb. 9, 19,15.

7 Application filed October 5, 1914. Serial No. 865,063.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, J OHN WEIGEL, Sn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Heat- Radiating Attachments for Gas and Oil Illuminating-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heat radiating attachments for use on the tops of the chimneys of the burners of gas and oil illuminating lamps, and its object is to provide a pair of horizontal disks that are held spaced apart by means of a circular series of tubes that form auxiliary draft and circulating lines for the air surrounding the top of the chimney of an illuminating gas or oil burner, such air being heated by the heat arising from the flame or combustion within the chimney and passing laterally from the device into the space to be heated and thereby retarding the heat from the burner so that it is delivered or diverted into the lower part of the apartment instead of its being allowed to practically waste by its natural flow or rise into the upper part of the said apartment where it cannot be utilized in the economical way characteristic of my device and especially in bath-rooms and other small quarters where the heat from the illuminating-burner can be put to good use and aid materially as an auxiliary in the warming thereof in connection with the regular means of heating same, or in removing the chill from a room when it is not really necessary to prepare a higher heating fire.

The details of structure will be fully hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims that follow.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my device showing it in position on a fragmentary top portion of the glass chimney of an illuminating burner; Fig. 2, a vertical section taken on a somewhat larger scale than that of Fig. 1 to show the interior of the device and the manner of the auxiliary-circulation of air through it for the heating thereof by the flame or combustion of the fuel in the burner; Fig. 3, a bottom plan view of the device on the same scale as that of Fig. 2, but omitting the chimney; Fig. 4, a top plan view; Fig. 5, a transverse sectional plan taken on the dotted-line m, m, of Fig. 2; Fig. 6, an elevation, partly broken away and in section, showing my device and an accompanying auxiliary-support for adapting it to special use in connection with the gooseneck and globe of an inverted Welsbach burner; and Fig. 7, a detail elevation of the auxiliary-support seen in Fig. 6.

The device contains a circular lower disk or base 1 having an elevated center 2 that has an inwardly-turned rim 3 and a large central orifice 1. The circular rim 3 engages or rests upon the upper edge of the chimney A when the device is in place for use, as best seen in Figs. 2 and 6. The device also contains an upper disk or circular cap-plate 5 that preferably has a downwardly-turned conical center 6 and is supported in axial alinement above the said disk or base 1 by means of tubes 7 that suitably space the two disks apart and are open at their opposite ends, as best seen in Fig. 2, for direct perpendicular circulation of air therethrough. The pendent conical center 6 of the upper disk or cap-plate 5 serves as a baffle to deflect the hot air arising from within the chimney in a circular manner so that it radiates from beneath the said'cap-plate as well shown by the arrows in Fig. 2. Said deflected hot-air from the inside of the chimney also strikes the vertical tubes or flues 7 and serves to heat the latter for the due heating, in turn, of the air circulating upwardly through the tubes.

Each of the disks 1 and 5 preferably has a downwardly-turned angular rim or flange,

designated 8 and 9, respectively, whereby they are inverted basin or dish shape, as best seen in Figs. 1, 2 and 6, and the air held in some abeyance for the heating thereof by the flame or combustion emanating or arising from within the chimney of the burner below.

In Figs. 1 and 2, I show the device as applied to the ordinary glass lamp-chimney, and in Fig. 6, I show how it can be applied to the inverted form of burner wherein the globe 10 is provided with a curved pipe or goose-neck 11 and a ring 12, the said gooseneck passing through an elongated opening 13 in a conical, hollow, auxiliary tube 14 that has a flange 15 surrounding its base and rests concentrically on the said burnerring 12, The inwardly-turned rim 3 of the lower disk or base 1 of my device rests on the upper edge of the said conical auxiliary tube 14 to support my device on said inverted form of burner.

met and space said lower disk or base and the upper disk or cap-plate and thereby provide circulating draft-fines to augment and difl'use circulation of heat radially around the upper part ofthe burner. H

2. A heat radiating-attachment for direct use on the tops of lamp-burner chimneys or globes comprising a lower horizontal disk orificed base.
