RADIATOR- COVER.

Specification of Letters'Patent.

Application filed January 23, 1920. Serial No. 353,412.

To all vwhom it lmay concern: j v

Be it known that I, HENRY LANG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ot the' structure, economical in manufacture, and

highly eilicient in use. L

Another object is the provision in a radi:- ator cover of means l'or supporting the same, when used with a radiator.

Another object is the provision ot means in a radiator cover for collecting' the dust rising under the same.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

rlhe invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reierenee to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which, n

Figure l is a top plan view ot my invention applied to a radiator',

Fig. 2, is a side elevational view of the invention applied to a radiator,

Fig. 3, is a transverse vertical sectional view of my invention, and

Fig. 1, is a longitudinal vertical sectional view ot the invention applied to a radiator.

The preferred form of construction, as illustrated in the drawings, comprises end members 8 on three ot the edges ot which are provided inwardly extending iianges 9. The lower edge oi' each member 8 is recessed as at 10, so as to conform to the contour ot the radiator with which the device is intended use. As shown, the recessed portion it) does not extend to the ends of the members 8 and thus there is 'formed a portion 1l, which projects downwardly at either side of the radiator, when the device is in assembled position. In the invention, it is designed to use two of the members 8 which are positioned at opposite ends ot the device. A sheet metal covering 12 is secured to the members 8 at its opposite ends by means of strips 13 which are fastened to the ilange 9 at the upper edge of the end members by suitable bolts or rivets which extend through the member 13 through the covering 12 and lthrough the flange 9. Connecting the end members 8 at opposite sides thereof are angle irons 111, which, when the device is placed upon a radiator, are adapted to support the hoodiforming portion. Extending longitudinally oi' the hood member 12 and secured to the end members 8 adjacent their upper edges are "l" irons 15. Extending longitudinally ot the device and secured at their opposite ends to the end members 8 are arcuate defiecting members 16 which are arranged upon the members 8 in staggered relation to each other. rllhe lower side ot each member 16 is covered with a suitable layer of asbestos 17 which serves as a dust collector and also at the same time as a deiiecting agency. One ot the end members 8 is provided with an opening 18 extending around three of the sides ot which and projecting interiorly ot the hood is a flange 1S), upon, and horizontally around which is positioned a sheet metal supporting member 20, the ends of which are turned upwardly to form vertically extending portions 22. lThe member 20 is provided with an enlarged slot 21 which j permits the passage of the heat from the radiator to the object positioned upon the member 20. A pan 2d is provided, which is designed to iit snugly within the member 18 and rest upon the member 20, the side members of the pan engaging the portions 22. One end oi' the pan 211 is provided with a flange 25 which is adapted to overlap the edges of the opening 18 and to close the same when the pan is positioned therein. A suitable handle 26 is provided upon the pan by means ot which the same may be slid to and :tro within the opening 18. Une of the edges ot the member 12 is curled to 'form a looped portion 27 in which is positioned a reinforcing rod 28. The lower edge of the opposite side ot the member 12 is doubled upon itselt to 'torni a hook portion 29, in which a metal apron 30 is adapted to engage,

My invention is designed for use with a radiator, such as is used in the heating plants of buildings. My invention aii'ords a means ot humidifying the atmosphere of the room and also aiords a means for deflecting heat from the radiator 81 toward the floor ot the room, thereby increasing the heating etliciency of the radiator itself. The opening 21 establishes closer connection between the radiator and the pan 24:, in which the Water is contained. Through the use of this Water, humidifying edects result. By covering the under side of each member 16 with asbestos, or felt, the deflecting power of the member itself increases and means are afforded'for collecting the dust Which arises Within the cover itself. It Will be noticed that the top of the cover is fiat, thereby affording a rest for different objects and also providingl a suitable seat. rhe members 15 serve to reinforce the hood itself, While the members 14, engaging against the sides of the radiator, present a durable supporting member for the device.

Vhile l have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification Without departing from the spirit of the invention. l, therefore, do not Wish to be limited to the precise details of the construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come Within 'the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A device of the class described compris ing end members; a covering` mounted on said end members; inwardly curved, overlapping deflecting members connecting said end members; and an asbestos covering mounted on the under surface of each of scribed.

2. A radiator cover comprising end members; a covering mounted on said end members; deflecting members mounted in overlapping relation on said end members; an asbestos covering for the under surface of each of said defiecting members; and angle irons connecting` said end plates for supporting said cover when positioned upon a radiator, substantially as described.

A radiator cover comprising substantially rectangular end members; angle irons connecting said end members for supporting said cover; a slotted supporting member com necting said end members; a liquid conminer slidably carried on said supporting member and removable through an opening in one of said end members; overlapping de- ''leeting members curved toward said contaiuer and mounted on said end members; and a flat topped hood mounted on said end members, covering the other members and adapted to serve a seat, substantiallyv as described.

ln testimony whereof have signed my name to this specification in the presence of tivo subscuibing` Witnesses.
