RADIATOR or CUYAHOGA FALLS, OHIO Application filed m 18, 1927.. Serial No. 206,461.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in radiators and has particular relation to a radiator adapted for use with hot water, vapor, or steam .heating systems.

The invention contemplates an improvement in the radiator construction shown and described in my co-pending application, Serial Number 139,830, filed October 6, 1926.

Briefly stated, objects of the invention are to provide a radiator of simple contsruc tion, which will be more efficient in use and less expensive to manufacture than radiators of ordinary construction.

An important object is to provide a hollow radiator bod having radiating fins detachably secure thereon and to provide a groove in the radiator body to secure each fin whereby the fins will contact with a relatively large surface of'the body and will be properly spaced apart and securely held in position thereon.

A further object is to provide a radiator of the character above indicated and to provide a water pan of improved construction which is held in place thereon by bein seated in alined notches in the radiating ns and to thereby provide sim le, efiicient' means to humidify the atmosplidre of the space to be heated.

The above and additional objects are accomplished by the novelconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanyin drawing, wherein I have shown a preferred form of the invention, it being understood that changes and modifications may be made and resort had to substitutions which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings, like characters of reference are used to denote like parts as the same may appear in any of the several views and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a radiator constructed in accordance with this invention Figure 2 is a fragmentary view taken in horizontal cross section as indicated by the lines 2-2 of Figure 1,

It will be seen that with the fins 10 thus positioned in the r notches 11 will be adiator body in alinement there 5 that the.

by forming a V-shaped seat extending longitudinally of the radiator. A pan 12 is preferably formed of a length which will extend longitudinall of the radiator body. A pan 12 is trough s aped having a V-shaped bottom wall adapted to fit in the notches 11 and side walls 13 and 14 which extend upwardly from said bottom tainer for water which may be used to humidi fy the atmosphere to be heated. The lower wall of the pan or trough 12 serves to deflect outwardly atmosphere heated by the radiator.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a radiator of simple construction which may be manufactured at a low cost and which will be very efficient in use.

Having thus illustrated my invention, and

described the new and desire to secure by Letters 1. In a radiator, a chambered radiator body, said body provided on opposite sides thereof with a plurality of parallel grooves, each of the grooves located in the same plane with a like groove on the opposite sides of the body and fins detachably secured on said body, each fin comprising a sheet of metal having same in detail, what I claim as Patent an opening adapted to receive said body andbeing mounted thereon with the inner edges of said fin seated in one of the grooves on each side of the body. Y

2. In a radiator, a chambered radiator bodL, said body provided with parallel side wal each of said side walls provided on the exterior face thereofwith a plurality of parallel grooves, each of the groovesbeing positioned in the same plane with the like groove on the opposite side of the body and fins detachably secured on said body, eachfin extending around three sides of the body with the inner edge thereof seated in said grooves.

3. In a radiator, a chambered radiator said body provided with parallel side wal each of said walls and the top wall of said body provided on the exterior face with a plurality of closely spaced grooves, and a plurality of fins each extending around the sides andtop of said body with the inner edge of each fin seated inone of said grooves.

4. Ina radiator, in combination, a chambered radiator body, said body provided with parallel side walls, each of said walls havin a plurality of closely spaced grooves, eac

ve extending around the side walls'and the top wall of the body and a fin seated in each of said grooves, each of said fins provided in the upper edge thereof with a triangular notch, said fins arranged with said notches in alinement to form a seat extending longitudinally of said radiator and adapted to hold a an therein.
