Specification of Letters Patent. Patented N 21 1916 l Application filed March 27, 1916. Serial No. 87,071.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, Grouse SuARrNAoK. and THOMAS J. NAsH, residing at Lincoln, 111
the county of Lancaster .and State of Nobraska, have invented certain new and' use iul Improvements in Electric Heaters, (Electrolytic Type,'). of which the following is a specification.
r This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in electric heaters of the electrolytic-type, such as is shown, for instance, in'the patent grantedto Thomas J. Nash, March 23, 1915, bio-1,132,604, the
said invention being a, modification of 'the heater therein shown and descr1bed,"adapting the same especially for use in connection 'Wlth internal combustion engines to maintam the temperatureof the circulating water inthe water jacket above the freezin'g point.
he present. invention particularly has, for itsobject to provide such a device of a simple and effective construction, in which the parts are compactlyv arranged .and which can be manufacturedat'a minimum expensel In the genericnatur'e, the invention comprises a plug adapted to be tapped into .the water reservoir from which plug one of the water passages, the other electrodes being located within the fixed electrode, but spaced from and insulated from thesame, and from the plug by an insulating medium, one portion at least ofwhich is compressible to forma packingaround the stem of the sec 0nd electrode, which stem projects through the plug to the outsideof the same and is designed to serve" as a circuit terminal to which one of the current feed wires may be all of which will be first fully described,

away and other parts being shown neleva- The'electrode I is provided with water electrodes projects inwardly,- the electrode beingtubular in. form and provided with "portion mg the upper end of the tion) of the device, per se. "Fig. 3 is an inverted plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a top plan VIEW-0f the device. Fig. 5.is a
sectional perspective view of the'plug'and electrode member. Fig'. 6 is a sideflelevation of the modification of the invention designed especially for use for heating water in boilers and radiators. Fig. 7 is a central vertical longitudinal section of the form v shown in Fig. .6.
.In the drawing, in which like numerals of the water jacket of the engine. The plug arts'in all of the the threaded projection I be tapped into the wall is bored at 4 and counterbored at 3 to leave a flange 5 for a purpose presentlyunderstood, and-below the flange 5 a tubular elecvtrode 6 is pro ected. This electrode may be integral Wlllhl the plug-or made separately therefrom and secured to the plug by soldering, brazindg or otherWell-known means,
so as to provi a good electric engagement. 6 is tubular in nature and has itslower end open and near its upper end circulating passages 7. The flange l ofthe plug is bored and tappedat 8'to receive a termlnal screw 9 to which one'of the circuit terminals23 fromthe switch 26 and the source of current supply- -(not ishown), is connec'ted, as will be 7 rleadily understood by those. skilled in .t e art.--..".- v v l0 designates a compressibletubularbody inade of rubber and fabric in the well-known hose pipe form, which is designed to fit I into the counterbore 3 and base reduced 11 to fit 'in'thefboree.

The upper end of the bolt or rod 12 is provided to receive the nut 20, and washers 21 and a thumb nut 22 is provided for clamping the other terminal wire into electrical engagement with the rod, it being understood that the thumb nut 22 is preferably formed of hard rubber or other insulating substance, the provision of the hard rubber parts 18 and 22 allows the plug to be handled without danger of burning the fingers and also provides eiiective insulation.
The engine is indicated by the reference character 24 and 25 is the dash of the mo to-r vehicle on which the switch 26 is mounted when the invention is employed in connection with an automobile engine. It should be understood that the invention is not only adapted for internal combustion engines of the motor vehicle type but may be, used as well onstationary engines or at any other place where it may be needed for the purpose of raising the temperature of the water.
In Figs. 6 and 7 is shown a modification of the invention especially designed for use in heating water in boilers, radiators or other fluid reservoirs, it being understood that the invention is intended for use where ever'it is desired to heat Water in a boiler, radiator, reservoir, or other container, and the length of the electrodes may be varied to suit the requirements of the particular situation.
If desired, instead of providing the bolt 12 with an integral head 13, as shown in Fig. 2, the outer end of the bolt may be threaded at 28 and provided with a nut 29 to engage the washer 14 and a disk 27 may be provided to close off the end of the outer electrode 6 to prevent access of foreign matters should the heater be pushed into the same while inserting it into a boiler.
In order that scale and other foreign substances may not enter the apertures 7 and short-circuit the electrodes, we prefer to inclose the outer electrode in a screen shell 30 of such mesh as will prevent the entrance of the scale, etc., into the space between the electrodes 6'and 15.
