IATOR HOOD.
Application filed December 11, 1922. Serial No. 606,172.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARENCE Gnoncn NELsoN, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Radiator Hoods, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to hoods or covers used on steam and hot-water heatin -radiators in; buildings to protect the a jacent walls from being smutted or soiled during the operation of heating the interiors of such buildings, and it relates, more particularly, to the type of radiator-hoods in which a toplid, a back-shield and suitable supporting brackets are combined for removable use on the tops of assembled radiator pipes or coils in diverting the dust and other smut or foul matter from collecting on the walls adjacent the said heat conducting and radiatmg pipes.
he details of structure of my special form of device herein and its eculiar means of ready attachment and detac ment, as well as its very simple and economical production and operating-maintenance will be fully hereinafter described in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which latter Figure 1 is 9. pers ective view of my entire device herein, owing its component top-lid detached or raised above its shieldand-bracket su porting-device and without the heatin -radiator to which it isadapted for use; l ig. 2, a transverse section of the assembled device herein, showing a fragmentary portion of the radiator on which it is mounted and, also, showing a'fra entary section of the adjacent wall bac of the radiator, just as the invention herein would appear in use, exce t that it is sectioned and broken away for and Fi 3, a fragmentary, lo 'tudinal, sections elevation of one end of t e entire assembled device, but omitting the radiator and the said back-wall, the section bein taken on a vertical line with the longitudina fore rod that is used to connect the opposite end-brackets. y
A indicates the back-wall of the room in whiclnthe radiator is installed for heating purposes, the letter B indicating any Oldlnary multi 10, vertical pipe radiator, of. which but t e upper parts ofone set of the tter detail illustration,
longitudinal series of pipes are shown in order to illustrate the'man'ner of attaching or mounting my'improved deflector-device for preventing smut-deposits on the said back-wall A and diverting or directing the radiated heat in the proper manner downwardly and forwardl into the room or space to be heated. (l indicates the usual hollow integral connecting-member used between radiator columns or transverse series of heat-conducting pipes for assembling them in longitudinal series and spacing them apart, D being a longitudinal rod or bolt connecting all the longitudinal series of columns in assembled form, as customary.
4 indicates a horizontal top lid or cover, of rectangular form and having a drop flange or edging 5, of any suitable depth, and made just like an Y ordinary detachable or removable box lid but of metal, sheet or cast, as occasion or choice may demand. This lid may be of any required length suited to the radiator on which it is to be mounted for use. It is an independent lid whereby it can be conveniently handled for cleaning, painting, decorating, or any other useful or ornamental purpose, aside from the other parts of my device and the radiator herein. On the underside of the bodyportion of the top-lid 4 .(see Figs. 2 and 3) preferably, but not essentially, provide a woven textile or other fabric 6 that is detachably held in place therein by means of arectangular liorder wire-frame 7 whereby it can be readi y handled for insertion and withdrawal in catching and holding the dust and foul collections beneath the sa1d top-lid 4 and, also, in washin or otherwise removing the said foul col ections whenever required. This inner linin 6 can, of course, be dispensed with if desired. Corresponding brackets. 8 and 9 are provided, one at each end of the radiator, and duly spaced apart, as..well as connected together, by means of rods 10 and 11, such rods being incased within spacer-tubes 12 whose opposite en'ds abut the inner faces of the said brackets and Whose lower faces rest on the longitudinal series of horizontal connecting-tops 13, as best seen in Fig. 2, for due sup ort.
The outer faces of said brackets are ri bed along their edges so as to rovide counter- .sunk main portions in whic the nutted o posite ends 14 of the said rods 10 and 11 e out of obstructing vertical line of placing the top-lid 4 on the said brackets for use, as best seen in Fig. 3.
A horizontal flange 20 extends inwardly from each of the two su porting-brackets 8 and 9 along their top e ges, and a similar vertical flange 21 extends inwardly from the side edges of the brackets, to impart the required strength to the brackets.
22 indicates a metal plate extending downwardly from the flanges 21 of the brackets 8 and 9, screw- bolts 23, 23 being used at each end to attach it in place on said flanged parts 21 so that it is properly suspended or supported in shieldingosition back of the radiator to divert the cat and foreign or foul matter from the back-wall A and serve to rotect the latter from smirching as well as to direct the heat forwardly into the room for the desired service and use.
The lower edge 24 of the shield or plate 22 is bowed or flexed backwardly somewhat toward the wall 'A so that it may contact with that wall and not allow any heat or foul, foreign, matter to escape along the wall upwardly back of the radiator, an auxiliary felt pad 25 bein attached along the said lower edge of the s ield to still further protect the face of the wall from injury and to make a better contacting-surface than the ordinary thin edge of the metal plate might alone make in actual use.
It will be obvious that the device is easily handled to and from place, as well as kept clean, and its great simplicity assures easy production an assembling, and, also, its
very economical cost. It will also be obvious that a material advantage exists and is presented in the use of the very plain and simple form of top-lid 4, especially when it can be so readily decorated or painted to harmonize. with surrounding walls or docorations in the room where the radiator is installed. y
In order to remove the device from place on the radiator top the top-lid 4 is first lifted from its place; then the nuts 19 on the upwardly-extended ends of the bows or yokes 15 and 16 can be easily removed from place so as to disjoin or uncouple the back-plate and its bolt-connected supporting-brackets from attached-place on the top of the radiator, leaving said bows alone behind for quite ready gravity-disengagement from the connecting-members C and subsequent withdrawal by hand from between the heater-tubes. All these parts can then :be easily cleaned ready for use a ain, including the fabric-lining 6 from within the top-lid 4.
It will also be seen that the rods or bolts 10 and 11 and their incasing spacer-tubes 12 may vary in length and so can the top-lid l, as well as the back-shield 22, to suit various widths or fronts of radiators, thus leaving the brackets and the securing bows or vokes to remain unchanged or constant.
claim In a radiator-hood and protector-shield device of the character described, the combination of a pair of spaced forwardly-projecting brackets, a pair of longitudinallyparallel rods detachably-connecting the said pair of brackets, a air of re-inforcin tubes with each one of t e pair telescopicisly-engaging one of the said rods and spacing the said pair of brackets against collapsing endthrusts, a pairrof vertical yokes provided with detachable horizontal spanner or cross bars whose opposite ends are adapted to ,rest upon the said tube-inclosed rods and with the said yokes detacha'bly-enga ing hollow integral-connections between eac of several adjoining pairs of the vertical radiator-pi es, a removable top-lid on the radiator a aptedto collect dust or other particles of foreign matter on the bottom thereof and simultaneously divert the rising heatcurrent into the space to be heated, and a vertical metal shield detachably-suspended from the rear side of the said brackets and having a wall-protecting padded edge, substantiall as shown and described.
