i lOur invention relatesito a new and useful improvement in humidifiers and has forjits object tovso constructa device Vof this descripti'on that it may be readily brought into coaction'with asource of heat, such as Ygas oroil stoves,"i1 1 such manner as to provide for the products-of combustion-or the heated air disseminated from -saidsource of heat taking up arelatively large percentageof moisture.

A further object iof ourv invention is to' r portions.' thereof are hinged, to provide for the turning vdown of this upper portion to Y ing upper portion of the other stay rod andy gain access to the oil reservoir or gas burner. TWith these. and other ends 1n view, this 1nvention consists 1n the details of construction'and combination ofA elements herein-l afterr set .forth and 'thenspeciflcally designated bythe claims. In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains, may understand how tomake and yuse the same, we will describe its construction in detail, Vreferring by numerals to the accompanying drawings forming apart of this application, in which :--V s Fig. 1, is a side elevation of an oil stove of usual construction having our improved humidifier applied thereto.

Fig. 2, is an enlarged plan view of the sectional reservoir of the humidifier. Y Fig. 3, is an enlarged `detailed sectional view showing vthe means for lockingV the sections of the reservoir in place, and alsov showing the upper portion Vo'f one of the stay the reservoir is adjustably mounted. Y Fig. 4, is a view similar to Fig. 3, show-v the means by which it .is utilized to support the stationary section of the reservolr and hinge the swinging section.

isV attached the supporting .blocks 2, by,

means of the bolts 3, which pass through certain of theholes 4, usually found in thisV Vcharacter of stove, being utilized for admitting air to the burner, and-these blocks "plained j Fig. 5, is a section on the line 546-5 ,of Y `Fig.'2. c i f Y v v v f In carrying out -.our invention as shown moisture.

have projecting `upward therefrom the stayrods vaand 6,1the upper'ends of which vare threaded, forthe purposes as hereinafterV eX-1 7 andV 8 represent the two 'sections of'a reservoir, veach section-being approximately thesame size, the section 7'c'arrying the lugs V 9 at one end thereof, said lugs being adapted to fitover the upper end' ofthe stay rods 6, and'being adjusted thereon by the nuts 10 and 11 threaded'upon this rod."

f I'Oneend'of the section 8 of the reservoir carries thelugs 12'which"are"also adapted to fit over the upper end of the stay rods f6,

and are' intendedto be positioned between thelugs 9. o

VThe opposite end of said section8of Y* the reservoir' is provided with the lugs 13, through which the upper `end. of. the stay rod 5 passes, and this stayk rodhasgthreaded thereon; the nutsl 14 landlfor ladjusting the vertical' positionof this `end of the sec# tion 8. v Y f v f These lugs 13 also have holes therethrough for the passage of the locking pin 16, which.

is also adapted to pass through the lugs 17 carried by one end ofthe section v'i' as clearl ly shown in Fig.' 3.

I By this arrangement both sectionsvof the reservoir will'be supported by the stay rods,

the section 8 being stationary while the'section `7 may be swung open upon thestay rod 6 by the removal of the locking pin 16, and i vthis swinging openof the section 7 will permit the swinging open of the upperportion ofthe stove forl access to the lamp or v burner.` s

Each section of the shapek incross section clearly shown in Fig.

5, having the water space 18 therein, and

Yalso showing the baffle flange 19, which eX- tends upward and vinward to deiiect the reservoir is of the moisture arising from-the water in the reservoir, and also to baffle theheatedair or of the Vhot air, productsof combustion-and From the foregoing'description it will be seen that our improved. humidifier may loe*` readily attachedtothe `ordinary form of oil s or 'gas stove, vespecially the former. with'out any alteration Aof the stove and when so,4 atA tached, the reservoir may be Vadjusted into the proper relative position tof the outgoing of the products of combustion or heated air,

Having' thus fully described our invention,

what we claim as newland useful is il. yIn vcombination with a'heating element, a humidifier comprising a sectionalY reser voir,each ot said sections having a baiiie flange, said flanges being perforated, and means l`for 'mounting .the sections of reservoir. In combination with the casing of a stove,-two blocks'secured to said casing, two stay rodsfc'arriedfby said blocks, va reser von' comprising a stationary section and a swinging section supported upon4 said stay rods, means forlocking the swii'rging-section in its-normal position relative tothe stationary section and Vmeans: for.: adjusting the sections vertically.

3. A humidilier for oil or Agas lstoves comprisingf two sections, means for supporting one of 'said sections asa-stationary` element,

means for pivoting the other section to the stationary section and means orllocking the pivoted section into normal relation with the stationary section.

' 4., The herein V'described combinationof a vstationary section, means for adjustably mounting said stationary section upon a stove, a swinging section vpivoted to the stationary section, land means for normally holding the swinging section in its closed potion. Y Y Y 5. lnv aresservoirtor humiditiers, astationarysection, lugs carried by eachendot said section, avswinging section, lugs carried by each end of said swinging section, the lugs upon oneend ot the'stationary section adapted toi-nterlock with the lugs upon oneend ot the swinging section, a stayv rod passi-ng through said interlocking' lugs; lugs carried by the opposite end of the swinging sectionI and adapted to 'interlock with the lugs upon the opposite end ofthe stationary sect-ion, andaipin adapted to pass through holes I-tor'med in thellast named interlocking lugs for holding the swinging sect-ion in itsnormal closed position, relative to the stationary section..
