Patented J l 13,1920.

Application filed November 18, 1919. Serial No. 338,848.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FIoKnnsEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the countyof -Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Heater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in heaters, the object of the invention being to provide a heater with an improved construction of lining preventing the radiation of heat through the sides of the heater and directing the heat through the top of the heater.

A further object is to provide an improved construction of lining which may be inserted in an ordinary oil heater and which may, of course, be adapted for other forms of heater and which may be utilized without changing the construction of the heater.

"With these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a View mainly in vertical section illustrating my improved device in a heater;

Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of the frame of my improved lining;

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in section illustrating one manner of securing the as-.

bestos lining to the frame; and

Fig. 1 is an enlarged horizontal section of a portion of the casing and the lining.

1 represents the cylindrical casing of an oil heater mounted on the top of a casing 2 inclosing an oil lamp 3 and supported on a base 3. A top plate 5' is located on the upper end of the casing 1 and supports a top 5 having spaced relation thereto. Rods 4 are provided securing the top plate 5' with the top of easing 2 and clamping the cylindrical casing 1 therebetween. Nuts 7 are provided on the ends of the rods to secure them in position.

The heater illustratedv is a well-known type on the market, and the cylinder 1 is provided with a door 8, through which a device may be inserted to light the burner 3. My improved lining 9 is located within the cylinder 1 and is mainly of longitudinally corrugated asbestos of general cylindrical form and smaller in diameter than the cylinder 1 so as to fit inside thecylinder, as shown in Fig. 1." V

The asbestos lining 9 is secured to a metal frame'indicated in Fig. 2. This frame comprlses a base ring 10, preferably of angle iron, a conical deflecting cap ring 11 and an lntermediate .ring 12, all of said rings connected by vertical bars 13. A metal elliptical frame 14L is secured to the bars 13 and is located in .alinement with the door 8 and it is, of course, to be understood that the llning 9 will be cut out inside of the ellipti cal frame 14 so as to allow a free entrance of a lighter or the hand to manipulate the burner.

Metal clips 15 are employed to secure the lining 9 to the frame and I have illustrated in Fig. 3 one form of clip which is positioned around the intermediate ring 11 and has its ends projected through the lining 9 and bent against the lining, as shown at 16, to effectually secure the lining tothe frame.

The cap ring 11, above referred to, constitutes a deflector. This ring is of general conical form and has its inner edge fluted, as shown at 17, although, of course, the invention is not limited to the particular design of this ring.

In operation the lining serves to prevent radiation of heat through the walls of the cylinder 1 and compels the heat to pass upwardly and out through the center of the ring 11 so that the heat is confined and directed to the center of the top 5 where it may be effectually utilized for cooking purposes, if desired.

Various slight changes may be made in the general form and arrangement ofv parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make suchchanges' and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. The combination with a heater, of a I removable lining in the heater conforming in shape to the shape of the casing of the heater and composed of heat insulating material, a metal frame secured to the lining,

and a conical deflecting ring forming the upper end of the frame. v

2. The combination with a heater having a cylindrical heating chamber, of a cylindrical lining of heat insulating material removably supported in the heating chamber, a base ring' at the lower end of the lining, a conical deflecting cap ring at the upper end of the lining, an intermediate ring around the central portion of the lining, and vertical bars connecting the rings.

3. The combination With a cylindrical heating chamber having a door in its Wall, of a removable lining in the heating chamber composed of heat insulating material, a conical deflecting ring at the upper end of the lining, a frame supporting the lining and secured thereto, a metal frame secured to the first-mentioned frame and registera cylindrical heating chamber, of a cylindrical lining removably supported insaid chamber and composed of corrugated heat insulating material, a metal frame supporting the lining and forming a part thereof, metal clips securing the lining to the frame a conical ring constituting the upper end of the frame, and .said ring having a fluted open upper end. v
