Description

June 24, 1930. F. A. CHAPMAN ET AL IN TERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HEATER Filed Sept. 13. 1928 814410141 01 ;FB.Eh a pman WKDtvis Y Patented June 24, 1930 UNITED STATES FRIED A. CHAPIEAN AND WILLIAEE INTERNAL-GOMBUSTEGH- Application filed. September 1 The invention aims to facilitate the starting of a cold engine utilizing a volatile liquid fuel as the motive medium.
In accordance with the invention, a heater of novel and peculiar structure is disposed in close proximity to the oil pan and is connected with the Water cooling system of an internal combustion engine to warm both the oil and the Water with the result that starting of the engine when cold is greatly facilitated which is a dcsideratum.
' While the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and requirements, the design may be varied and such other changes in the minor details oi construction may he resorted to Within the scope of the invention as claimed, Without departing from the spirit thereof.
F or a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof reierence is to be had to tl e following description and the drawings hereto attachec, in which:
Figure 1 is a side View illustrative of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is enlarged transverse sectional view.
Figure 3 is vertical longitudinal sectional view of the heater. 1
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.
The numeral 1 denotes an engine of the internal combustion type 2 the oil pan or crank case, and 3 the radiator through Which the Water is circulated for cooling the engine When in action. These parts are of Well known construction and arrangement and are illustrated to demonstrate the applica tion of the invention, which resides in the heater and peculiar construction and arrangementthereof.
The heater is designated by the numeral 4 and is elongated and of semi-circu r formation in cross section. The heater 1S hollow and the iii sine is depressed as indicated at 5, to receive an element 6 Which may be aheating unit of any type. The space 7 formed between the inner and the outer is of the l 1 iv is i semi-circular outline g; the coo ng medium engine is circulated tl ercth ough. A connects the lower per 0 ""he space 0 end with the lower pa t of the radia- A pipe 9 connects the front of the 'te end with the Water crehy to Warm the latl at on tor 3.
er costar cd n the Water 19. Chet of the engine as will be rea W 'ciated.
Suitable r-icans are emoloyec for secnrinh id showm yed to retain the device elemen 6 the elect Q Which a and which 0- 2 electric current whereby heat is gone *ated in a manner Well understood.
The nume'al 11 denotes an electric cord which may is d from a source of current supply and Whicn is adapted to be plugged into a sociret l2 one end of the heater and to Which the terminals of the *ire Wound about the coil of the heating unit are connected.
-When it is r {hired to Warm a cold engine to make starting thereof easy an electric current caused to flow through the Wire of the heating element and the heat thus generated warms the oil in the pan 2 and the Water in th cooling system of the engine. In a compa 'atively short time the engine is sufiiciently heated to render starting easy and,
at the same time, the oil is warmed so as to flow and enable the operating parts to move easily.
What is claimed is:
In an internal combustion engine, a heat er comprising a hollow body of semi-circular formation in cross section and having an open-sided recess formed in its flat side, said flat side being engaged against the oil pan of the engine whereby the recess is closed by said pan, a heating unit mounted in the recess, and means connecting the hollow body With the Water jacket and radiator of the engine.
In testimony whereof We aflix our signatures.
