unlllllllll v ATTOR NEY Patented Get. 1, 1929 srares eart L'Bdddti FURNACE Application filed May 5, 1928. Serial No. 275,509.

. The present invention has reference to certain new and useful improvements in furnaces, the primary objectbeing the provision of a novel form of furnace or heater wherein novel means is employed for baffling or delaying the products of combustion in their passage through certain fines and a radiator in the shell or casing of the furnace, thereby affording such products of combustion time to part with their heat before escaping through a vent in the radiator, and conse quently producing a furnace that will furnish a large amount of heat with a minimum employment of fuel and likewise producing a furnace in which the monoxide gas is entirely prevented from mixing with the heated air that is delivered through the fines of the furnace.

The invention will be fully and comprehen- 2 sively understood from a consideration of the following detailed'description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings which form part of the application, with the understanding, however, that the improvement is capable of extended application and is not confined to the exact showing of the drawings nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications may be made therefrom as do not afiectthe spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claim.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a central vertical longitudinal sectional view through a furnace or heater in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view approximately on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 8 is a similar sectional v1ew approximately on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

In the showing of the drawings, the devlce is illustrated as a gas furnace but obviously fuel other than gas may be employed.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, 4 the numeral 1 designates the combustion chamber for the fire from the burners 2 for natural gas. The burners are, of course,.suitably supported and each of the said burners has attached thereto an inlet pipe 3 connected to a manifold 4:, the manifold being associated combustion chamber and for the ring mem- I ber 5.

The closed top of the combustion chamber 1 is dome-shaped or rounded, and the said chamber hasits side walls, adjacent to the bottom thereof, provided with a plurality'of spaced round openings from which extend. short pipes 7 that communicate with tubular members in the nature of fines 8. The top and bottom walls provided by the fiues 8 are closed except for round openings in the center thereof and secured inthewalls provided by. these round openings and extending longitudinally through each of the fiues, 8 there is an inner flue or, pipe 9. Secured to the outerwall of the inner and air conducting pipe or flue and the inner wall of the heat conducting flue 8 there are the edges of a spirally wound baffie 10. The fines 8, at their top are connected byshort pipes 11 to a radiator 12, which is preferably round in plan. The radiator has a central opening 13 therethrough arranged in a line with the dome-shaped top 14 of the combustion chamber 1. Theradiator has its top and bottom'walls connected to arched baffie plates 15 that divide the saidradiator into. outer compartments or passages 16 and into, innercompartments or passages 17,the said battle plates at a point between two of the flues having their inner ends spaced to provide an opening 18 between the compartments 16 and 17 The baffle plates may be in the nature of a ring member and have their outer ends curved. as at 19, to provide a vent pipe 20.

As faras the description has progressed it will be seen that the products of'combustion will be directed upwardly into the combustion chamber 1 and from thence downwardly and through the short pipes 7 into-the space between the inner and outer flues 9 and 8, respectively. The products of combustion will contact with the spiral baffles 10 before entering the radiator 12. The products of combuswith each of said fines, baflle plates arranged a tion are caused to take a circuitous path in the radiator before passing out of the vent 20 and thus it will be noted that the passage of the products of combustion are baffled or delayed to afford them time to part with their heat before escaping through the exhaust pipe or vent 20.

Surrounding the heater there is the shell or casing 21. The top of the casing 21 is, of course, disposed above the fines and the radiator 12, the said top being cone-shaped, as at 24. If desired, the conical top of the casing 21 may communicate directly with a register or the same may have attached thereto suitable flue pipes 22 that'lead to the different rooms of the building to be heated. The delayed heat caused by the baflies in the fines in the radiator will, of course, be directed into the casing21 and find an outlet through the top or through the flue pipes connected with the top 24 thereof.

The construction and advantages of the improvement will, it is thought, he understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art after the foregoing description has been carefully read in connection with the accompanying drawings so that further detailed description will not be required.

Having described the invention, I claim:

In a furnace, the combination with a burner, a combustion chamber, a ring-like member surrounding the burners and spaced from the inner wall of the chamber, an outer casing, spaced groups of fines arranged at either side of the combustion chamber between the latter and said casing, an air pipe in each flue, the lower ends of said flnes communicating with the combustion chamber, a hollow annular radiator supported by and between the respective groups of fines and communicating 'within each flue, an outlet pipe extending from the radiator and passing through said outer casing, and oppositely curved baflle plates arranged within said radiator between the inner and outer walls thereof, said last mentioned baffle plates extendingfrom said outlet pipe and terminating in spaced relation and at points beyond adjacent outermost fines of the respective groups.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
