HEATING-DRUM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1915.

Application filed June 6, 1914. Serial No. 843,355.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LYMAN L. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating- Drums, of which the following is a specification.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in heating drums and has for its primary object to provide a device of this character which will be constructed in such manner that it may be readily incorporated in the stove pipe and W111 cause such circulation of the products of combustion as to heat the drum and thereby cause an increase of temperature in the room or other inclosure through which the stove pipe extends.

Another object is to provide a device of this character in which will be included vertical and transverse partitions provided with openings and a damper carried by one of the said partitions and adapted for engagement over one of said openings, whereby the products of combustion may be permitted to travel directly to the upper end of the heating drum or caused to circulate around and between the partitions to heat the drum proper, as desired.

A further object of this invention is to provide a device of this character which will be of extremely simple construction and op eration and highly ei'ficient in use, as well as cheap to manufacture.

With the above and other objects in View, as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a longitudinal central section through the complete device in position in a stove pipe. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the partition removed from the drum proper and showing the damper positioned over its opening. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same and Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the entire device.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, reference numeral 1 designates the drum proper, which may be constructed of two sections and connected by flanges 1 and bolts 1 to permit of assembly of the several parts. Said drum is of cylindrical form and has its lower edge reduced to a nipple 2 which projects downwardly from the center of the bottom of the said drum, for engagement with the stove pipe section 3. The nipple 4 is a duplicate of the nipple 2 except that it is formed on the upper end of the said drum, and it projects upwardly therefrom for engagement with the pipe sec tion 5, as will be readily understood by referring to Fig. 1.

Positioned in the drum proper 1, and extending longitudinally therefrom is the vertical partition 6, the lower end of which is spaced above the upper open end of the nipple 2 to allow the products of combustion entering the drum proper 1, by way of the said nipple 2, to pass said partition and enter the large front chamber 7, at the upper end of which is positioned a transversehorizontal partition 8 which is of circular form and fits snugly against the inner circular surface of the said drum. The vertical partition 6 has an opening 9 through the; same which is adapted to be closed .by a. damper plate 10 when the latter is in closed or operative position. The damper plate 10 is mounted upon and controlled by a damper rod 11 passing through one end of the said damper plate and rotatably mounted through the wall of the drum proper 1, and having a handle 12 formed upon one end whereby the said damper rod may be readily rotated in either direction to move the damper plate 10 to closed or open position as desired.

When a straight draft is desired the damper plate 10 is swung to open position, thereby allowing the products of combustion to travel through the front chamber 7 and pass from the same by way of the openings 9 thence through an upper central opening 13 in the transverse partition 8 and through the nipple 4: to the upper pipe section 5.

When it is desired to cause a circulation of the products of combustion within the heating drum to heat the surrounding atmosphere and increase the temperature in the room or other inclosure within which the heating drum is positioned, the damper plate 10 is swung to closed position as clearly shown in Fig. 1, thereby causing the products of combustion entering the front chamber 7 and passing to the upper end thereof, to pass through side openings 14: in the upper portion of the partition 6 and below the transverse horizontal partition 8 forming the top of the front compartment 7.

After the products of combustion have end of said compartment 18, to the nipple 4: and upper pipe section 5. It will be understood that the outwardly turned lower ends 16 0f the partitions 17 are for the purpose of retarding the circulation of the products of combustion, thus allowing more heat to be absorbed by the drum proper before said products of combustion pass on to the pipe 5 and that said upturned ends 16 are suitably spaced above a lower transverse horizontal partition 19 forming the bottom of the compartments 15 and 18 and preventing the products of combustion entering the drum proper 1 from passing directly into the lower end of said compartments 15 and 18. It will be further readily apparent that this circulation of the products of combustion around and through the partition 6 will heat the drum proper 1 and thereby cause an increase in temperature of the air coming in contact with the outer face of said drum proper. v

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a heating drum of extremely simple construction and operation and which will be highly eflicient in use and may be readily incorporated in the stove pipe or the like or removed from the same.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention it will be understood that minor changes in details of construction and arrangement of parts may be made within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is- A device of the character described including a casing, said casing having a central nipple at its lower end and a nipple at its upper end, the upper of which is offset with respect to the vertical center line of the drum proper, a vertical partition having a draft opening within said casing, a transverse partition provided with a draft opening positioned in said casing a spaced distance from the upper end thereof and connected with one end of the vertical partition, a pair of vertical partitions projecting from the face of the first mentioned vertical partition, the lower ends of the last named vertical partitions being spaced above the lower ends of the first mentioned vertical partition, a transverse horizontal partition connected with the lower end of the first mentioned vertical partition and the adjacent wall of the casing, said last mentioned transverse horizontal partition being positioned beneath the second mentioned vertical partitions, said first mentioned vertical partition having openings below the first mentioned transverse horizontal partition, and a damper plate positioned upon the first mentioned vertical partition and adapted to cover one of the said openings.
