May 12, 1931. w. G. WAGENHALS HUMIDIFIER Filed April 28, 1950 INVENTOR 12511131115: wa aals ATTORN EYS Fatented May 12, 1931 v WILLIAM G. WAGENHALS, or nn'raorr, mcmcau if nuummma Application filed April as,
The present invention pertains to a novel air humidifier or moistener of a type particularly adapted for preserving cigars, cigarettes or" other tobacco products in their original I moist condition and for preventing the same from becoming dry while placed in display cases or cabinets.
The primary object of the present invention is to devise an air humidifier of a com- 310 pact portable nature facilitating its insertion in display cases or cabinets of the type used for displaying cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco products. The present humidifier is provided with a water receptacle in which 13 is received portions of capillary plates, the upper portions of'the plates being subjected to a flow of air created by an electric fan mounted upon the receptacle supporting base, this arrangement facilitating more eflicient m moistening of the air than is possible by con-- ventional humidifiers due to the fact that it assists the evaporation or dissipation of the water from said capillary plates.
Another object of the resent invention is 535 to devise an air humidi or which, although particularly adapted for use in preserving tobaccoproducts, is also capable of efiicient service as a domestic humidifier for moistening-the atmosphere within a dwelling or pubmlio building. I
With the above and other ends in view the invention consists'inthe matters hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out inthe appended claims, reference b'ein had to the accompanying drawings, in whic Figure 1 is a perspective view of the present 1 humidifier, anc.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Like characters of reference are employed m throughout to designate the corresponding The numeral upon which is mounted the vertica y extend.-
formed in the nature of corner brackets. A receptacle 4, referably formed of glass in order to be 0? a transparentnature is supported upon the base 1 by the walls 2 and. 3, the receptaclebeinag provided to contain a supply ofwater an the wa being cut away 1 indicates an elon ated base ing cut-away side walls 2 and end walls 3,
1930. Serial No. 447,950.
to permit the container I order that the water thereinmay main? tained at a suitable .level.
In construction, as may .be clearly stood with reference to Fig, 1, each wall 2 is formed of a sheet of metal with a portion 3 being bent at right angles thereto, both the portions 2 and 3 being P QVide'd with an inturned flange 5 facilitating theattachment to the base 1. I
A cover plate 6 is rovided for the eceptacle 4 and is pre erably' formed from sheet metal having downturned flanges 7 and I 8 which embrace the sides of the rece tacle in a manner preventing the accidenta displacement of the cover. The cover is pro vided with aplurality, of elongated slots 9 in which are inserted metal frames 10 which contain a ca illary material which facilitates the ascent 0 water from the level in the container to the top of the cover plate 6.
The particular arrangement of the slots 9. contribute to the efiiciency of the present device, it being observed in reference to Fig. 2,
that the central slot is formed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base 1 while the other two slots are formed at an acute an is relative thereto, the ends of the slots w ich are nearest to the front of the receptacle bein the twoends which are closest together. it t erefore becomes apparent that a current of air gassing along the ion "tudinal axis of the. ase would necessarily converged and the flow retardedas it contacts with the members I 10, the latter acting as bassw i Mounted upon. the rear portion of the base 1 is an electric fan 11 adapted to create a flow of air along the line of the longitudinal axis of the base which strikes against the capillary material supported in the frames M3 in a manner whereby the water is rapidly evaporated or dissipated and carried away by t e air, thereby providing moisture laden air.
Although a specific embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated and described it isto beunderstood that various changes may be made in the details of cpn struction without departing from the spirit of the invention, and such changes are contemplated What I claim is: 1. A humidifier comprising a base having a fan mounted thereon, vertical walls mounted upon said. base,' a water containing re- 5 ceptacle supported uplon said base by aid vertical walls, a plum 'ty of capillary plates inserted in said receptacle to roject upwardly therefrom, and a cover p ate for said receptacle having slots arranged to support said capillary plates whereby the latter obstruct the flow of air created by said fan.
2. The combination with a base having vertically extending walls mounted thereon of a water containing receptacle retained upon said base by said walls, capillary plates supported in said receptacle to pro ect upwardly therefrom, and an electric fan mounted upon said base to create an air current which contacts with the projecting portions 0 of said capillary lates.
In testimony w ereof I .aflix in Si ature.
