HEATING APPARATUS Filed NOV. 9, 1929 INVENTOR VMM @471% HERBERT n morr, or

Patented Mar. 29, 1932A `muffe-:D STATES PATENT" oFFlcE AMHJERST, OHIO, ASSIGNOR T THE FOX FURNACE COMPANY, OF

ELYRIA, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF OHIO HEATING APPARATUS construction andcombination of parts, to be more fully described hereinafter, and the novelty of which willbe particularly pomted out and distinctly claimed. In the accompanying drawings, to be taken as a part of this specification, I have full and clearly illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention and a modificatlon thereof, in which drawings- Figurel is a front elevation of a portion of a yheating yapparatus embodying my lnvention;

f Fig. 2 is a detail view in section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, but lwith the door or closure memberremoved, and Fig. 3 is a detail view in section of a modification.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, 1 designates a wall member such as the enclosing casing of a warm air furnace or the like. Through the wall member isan aperture 2, the side and top edges of which have a marginal transverse fiange 3, the 1nsi de face of which has a slight draft or upward inclination away from the plane of member 1, ask at 4.- Extending through the aperture 2 is a casing member 5, such as the fuel charging throat of the combustion chamber casing, or the neck or throat of the ash-pitcasing. Extending vertically on the side walls 6 and across the top wall 7 of member 5, is an eX- ternal fiange 8 which laterallyk engages or abuts the inside face of Wall member 1 at the flange 3, and has a draft corresponding to the draft'll of flange 3, so that there is surface engagement betweenmembers 1 and ,5. The member extends beyond or outside of member 1 sor that the side and top walls `of'member 5 provide a bearing surface 9 transverse to the plane of member 1. At the sides and across the top of member 5 in a substantially vertical plane, is a plate member 10 which may be in several lengths. The member 10 has a substantially vertical central web 11 and substantially parallel oppositely directed, substantially horizontal edge portions or flanges 12, 13. The end face of portion or flange 12 engages the outside face ofl member 1, while the under face'of flange 13 engages thesurface 9. On the top wall 7 are lug membersll which are alined with holes or apertures l5 through member 1 and which apertures are positioned between flanges 3 and 12. Through the web 11 are holesor apertures 16 alined with apertures 15. Extending through apertures 15 and 16 and an aperture 17 in member 14, is a clamping member or bolt 18 having a head or part 19 engaging the web of'member 10, and a nut or the like 2O engaging the` lugmember 14, so that tightening the bolt 18 drawsy theflange 12 against member 1 and the fxo under facek of flange 13against surface 9 yof bolts 18, so that the members 1 and 5 may have j relative movement. The lengths of member 10 which overlie the side walls 6`of member 5 are preferably secured in clamping position against members 1 and 5 by bolts or the like 21 which extend through the flange or edge portion 13 and the side walls 6 of member 5. On themember 10 at one side of member 5, are vertically spaced horizontally extending supporting arms or members 22 whichcooperate with hinge arms 23 pivoted thereto by pins 24; and carrying a door `or closure member 25 for closing the opening or entrance 26 of member 5. f

Inthe modification, Fig. 3, the similar parts are designated by the primes of the reference characters which are applied to the parts in Figs. 1 and 2., The plate member 10 has its web portion 27 in a `plane at-substantially forty-five degrees to the surface 9', and the edge portions or flanges 28, 29 of member 10 extend atninety degrees to each other, so that they are substantially perpendicular tothe With member l and surface 9', and to draW the iianges 3 and 8 into tight engagement.

' What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

l. In a device of the character described,

a Wall member having an aperture, a casing member extending through said aperture and providing a surface transverse to and outside of said Wall member, a plate member engaging said Wall member and said transverse surface, and means engaging said plate member intermediate the engagement thereof With said Wall member and said casing surface and acting to clamp Said plate member to said Wall member and to said transversesurface. y

2. In a device of the character described,

a Wall member having an aperture, a casing member extending through said aperture and providing a surface transverse-to and outside of said Wall member, a plate member having opposite edge portions respectively engaging said Wall member and said transverse surface, said plate member having an aperture, and clamping means secured to saidl casing member and extending through said plate aperture and having means engaging said plate member to clamp said plate member to said Wall member and to said transverse surface,

3. In a device of the character described, a Wall member having an aperture, a casing member extending through said apertureand providingk a surface transverse to and outside of said Wall member, saidcasing member having a flange engaging the inside face of said Wall member, a plate member engaging said transverse surface and the outer face of said Wall member,and means engaging said plate member intermediate the engagement thereof with said Wall member and said casing surface and acting to clamp said plate member to said Wall member and to said transverse surface.

4e.v In a device of the character described,

a Wall member having'an aperture, a casing member extending through said aperture and providing a surface transverse to and outside of'said Wall member, said casing member having a flangeyin lateral engagement with the` inside face of said Wall member, a plate member engaging said Wall member and said transverse surface,and means engaging said plate member intermediatethe engagement thereof with said Wall member and said casingsurface and yacting to clamp said plate member. to said Wall member andto said caskmember, a. plate member having its opposite edges engaging said transverse surface and the outside face of said Wall member, said plate member and said Wall member having alined apertures, and means extending through said alined apertures and having clamping engagement with said plate inember and said casing member whereby tightly to clamp said plate member to said Wall member and to said transverse surface and tightly to clamp said Wall member to said iiange member.

6. A heating apparatus of the characterdescribed, comprising a furnace Wall member having an aperture therethrough, a hollow casing member for access to therinterior of said apparatus and extending through said aperture and providing a surface transverse to and outside of said Wall member, said casing member having'a flange member in lateral engagement With the inside face' of said Wall member, afplate member having its opposite edges engaging said transverse surface and the outside face of said Wallinember, said plate member and said Wall member having alined apertures,a lug member on said casing adjacent the inside face of said Wall and having an aperture therethrough alined with said alined apertures, and means extending through all of said alined apertures and hav# ing clamping engagement Wit-h said plate member andsaid lug member vvher'ebytightf ly to clamp said plate member to said wall member and to' said transverse surface and tightly to clamp said Wall member to said flange member. s
