SOMERS T. CANADA, OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
RADIATOR.
Application filed Qctober 16, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Sorrnns T. CANADA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Greorgia have invented a new and useful Radiator, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to hot water radiators of that type in which the heater is combined with the radiator, one of the objects be-- ing to provide means whereby a large percentage of the heated water can bema-intained at a "high temperature over night or at any other time without using the water heating medium, thus allowing the radiator to be heated. quickly when desired and effecting a saving of the energy that would otherwise be required to initially heat the water after the radiator has become cool.
With the foregoing and other objects in. View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims it being understood that various changes may be made in the construction and ar rangeinent of the parts without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of a radiator constructed in accordance with the present invention a portion thereof being shown in section.
Fig. 2 isa section on line 22, Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3, Fig. 2.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates the base of the radiator which is in the form of a casing of any desired contour and this casing has a continuous lining 2 forming a space 3 from which air has been withdrawn to produce a partial vacuum. The lining can be supported at its ends and at intermediate points in any manner desired so as to prevent or retard the escape of heat by conduction. The space surrounded by the lining 2 constitutes a water chamber, as shown at d and opening into one end of this chamber is an aperture in which is secured one end of an electric heater, shown generally at 5 and which extends longitudinally within the chamber.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 13, 1920.
SeriaI No. 258,327.
A filling tube 6 opens into the other end of the chamber and has a cap 7 and a gage 8. Formed within the top of the base or casing 1 is a series of elongated openings 9 and secured in these openings or extending from the walls thereof, are sleeves or tubular extensions 10 which are fastened in corresponding openings in the lining 2 and provide a series of outlets for the chamber 4.
Mounted on the base or casing 1 is a series of radiator sections 11 having openings 12 in the bottoms thereof which register with the openings 9, there being gaskets 13 between the sections and the base for sealing the connections. The sections are fastened in place by rods 14 having elongated heads 15 at their lower ends which are insertible downwardly through the sleeves 10 and, when turned through 90, will move under opposed portions of the sleeves. The upper ends of the rods are extended through the upper ends of the sections 11 and engaged by nuts. Thus it will be seen that by turning the rods to position the head under the sleeves 10 and then tightening the nuts on the rods the sections 11 will be clamped tightly in position. The heads 15 do not close the openings 9 when in holding positions.
Extendinglongitudinally within the chamber 4 is a rod 16 one end of which extends through one end of the base or casing l and has a knob 17 or the like thereon. Secured to this rod are cut-off valves or flaps 18 adapted when the rod is turned in one direction, to extend across and close the lower ends of the sleeves 10, thereby closing communication between the interiors of the sections 11 and the chamber 4;. These flaps can be made of any suitable material, preferably such as will not conduct heat readily.
The upper portions of the sections 11 communicate through pipe connections 19 and a safety vent 20 may be connected to one of the sections.
In using the device the chamber A is filled with water, the valves 18 opened, and cur rent directed to the heater 5. Thus the temperature of the water will be raised and Vapor or steam will ascend into the sections 11 and heat them. By closing the valves 18 and cutting oil the current from the heater 5 the hot water will be retained in the chamber 4 where it will be insulated from the surrounding atmosphere to such an extent that the heat will be retained in the water for a considerable length of time. In fact after being retained in the chamber 4 over night, hot vapor or steam can be obtained almost instantly by opening the valves 18 and by directing electric current into the heater 5. The radiator can also be used with hot water as a heating medium, by filling the sections 11 as well as chamber 4. hen, the valves 18 are closed the water in chamber 4; will be cut oli from the contents of the sections 11 and be kept in a hot condition for a considerable periodof time, thus expediting the heating of the entire contents of the radiator when an electric current is directed into the heater 5.
hat is claimed is:
1. A radiator including a base, a lining extending longitudinally within the base and forming a water container, said lining being spaced circumterentially from the base and forming therewith a partial vacuum chamber the lining having openings out of communication with said vacuum chamber and extending through the base, radiator sections mounted on the base and each communicating through an opening with the water container, an electric heater housed within the water container, and means within the water container for simultaneously opening or closing the openings in the lin- 111 2. A radiator including a base, a lining extending longitudinally within the base and forming a water container, said lining being spaced circumferentially from the base and forming therewith a partial vacuum chamber the lining having openings out of communication with said vacuum chamber and extending through the base, radiator sections mounted on the base and each communicating through an opening with the water container, an electric heater housed within the water container, and means within the water container for simultaneously opening or closing the openings in the lining, and means for attaching the radiator sections to the base, each of said means including a rod adjustably connected at its upper end to the upper end of the radiator section and extending downwardly through said section and through the opening in communication therewith, and a head at the lower end of the rod extending diametrically across the opening and into engagement with the lining in the base.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
