RADIATOR FOR FIREPLACES.
To all whom may concern:
Be it known that I, Jnssn P. HIGBEE,
a citizen of the United States, residing in of thefuel goes up the chimney, I
An object of this invention is to provide a device, adapted togbe positioned in. the upper portion of a fire place and projecting outward into theroom therefrom, through which the products of combustion pass beforethey enter the chimney. As the device presents a large radiating surface a greater,
amount of heat is given out into the room than would otherwise be the case.
Other objects are, to provide a device of the character described which shall be economical in construction, pleasing in appearance, eificient in operation and durable in service.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, wherein is set forth an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that such changes and modifications may be resorted to as come within the scope of the claims appended hereunto.
In the accompanying drawings wherein similar reference characters designate like parts in the several views, Figure 1, is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention as applied to a, fire place. Fig. 2, a top plan view, on an enlarged scale, of the device. Fig. 3, a transverse section. Fig. at, a longitudinal section on line of Fig. 3. Figs. 5 and 6 are elevations respectively of the inside of one head, and the outside of the other head. Figs. 7 and 8 and 9, are respectively a front elevation, end elevation, and transverse cross section of a I modified form.
Referring now in detail to the drawings, Fig. 1, discloses a structure, designated as Specification of Letters Patent.
posed at such an angle that it. will conform Patented Mar. 18, 1919.
i Application filed December 24, 1917. Serial No. 208,580.
an entirety by the numeral 1, positioned at the upper portion of a fire place 2, transversely thereof. The body of the structure comprises a drum 3 extending outward from the fire place into the room. The structure is retained in place by suitable means such as lugs 1' which are connected to the ends of the drum and which may be secured to the frame -5 of the fire place. These lugs may be adjustably connected to the ends of the drum as shown in Figs. 6 and 8. The drum is preferably formed of a continuous length of sheet metal, it comprises an apron 6 disto a fire back -7, against which it lies When in position. An outer wall 8 of the drum, extends from the upper edge of the wall6 curving outward, downward and in Ward to a point 9 within a spaced distame, the apron intermediate its length. From the point 9 an inner'wall 10- extends upward in a plane substantially parallel with the apron, the two defining a passage 11. The wall 10 extends 'to within a spaced distance of the outer wall .8, from which point an intermediate wall l2 curves downward and inward, in spaced relationship to the outer wall, termi-- nating against the wall 10, to which it is secured. A chamber 13, into which the passage 11 leads, is defined by the walls 8, l0 and 12. The walls 10 and 12 define an air space or chamber 14. A partition 15 secured to the wall 8 defines an air space or chamber 16. The chambers 14 and 16 are open to the atmosphere. A rectangular fiue box -17- is secured on the rear side of the wall 10 at a point opposite" the end of the chamber 13, and this is adapt- 9 ed to be inserted in the throat 18' of the chimney. A plurality of flues 19 extend from the chamber 13, across the passage 11 into the box 17. The ends of the drum are closed by suitable means such as 100 heads 20, which are provided with flanges 21, 22, and 23- that serve to confine the walls. Openings-2% and 25 ii the heads correspond respectively with t e from, for the escape of airwhich .becomes heated therein. When the device is in position the apron lies against the face of the fire back and closes the entrance to the throat of the chimney, consequently the 110 spaces 14 and 16 forming outlets thereof combustion are forced to pass through the passage 11 into the chamber 13 and thence through the fines 19 into the chimney. The'draft through the drum may be controlled by means of a damper -26- which is operated by means or an exterior handle 27. In the modification shown in Figs. 7, 8 and 9, a smaller chamber 33- is provided and fines 8%- Ward side thereof downward a spaced distance from the front wall 35, thence rearward through said Wall, across the passage 11 and through the apron into the throat of the chimney. It is obvious that my improved drum may be readily applied products to the ordinary open grate fire place, and
that the large radit ting surface which it presents insures greater ethciency in the consumption of fuel.
Having thus described my invention so that. anyone skilled in the art pertaining thereto can make and use the same, I claim:
1. A drum adapted to be positioned at the top of a fireplace, an apron depending therefrom and adapted to cover the throat of the chimney, and having an opening communi eating therewith, there being a passage leading from the fireplace to the interior of the drum, and a fine leading from the interior hop-lies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the floinmissioner of Patents,
lead from the for of the drum across said passage and through said opening, said fiuebeing. adapted to be. enteredfinto the throat of the chimney.
2. In a device as characterized, a drum adapted to be secured at the top of a fireplace, an apron depending from said drum and adapted to cover the throat of the chimney and having an opening communicating therewith, the drum having a plurality of chambers, one of said chambers, being closed and the others open to the atmosphere, there being a passage leading from the fireplace to one interior of the closed chamber, and a flue leading therefrom across said passage and through the opening in the apron, said flue being adaptedto be entered into the chimney.
3. In a device as characterized, a drum, means for securing said drum at the top of a fireplace, an apron depending from said drum adapted to. cover the throatto the chimney and having openings communicating therewith, the device having a passage leading from the fireplace to the interior of the drum, and a plurality of fines leading from the interior of the drum across said passage and through said apron.
