lMPROVEMENT IN RADIATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l85,582, dated December 19, 1876; application led June 5, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J osEPH SHAcKLEToN, of Railway, in the county ot' Union and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiators, which invention is fully set forth in the following speciti' cation, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l represents a longitudinal vertical section of my improvement. Fig. 2. is a vertical crosssection thereof.

SimilarI letters indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists in a radiator which is constructed of a box or jacket containing l1eating-pipes,and which is perforated in such parts thereof that when the said jacket is arranged in the wall ot" an apartment, the pure and cold air exterior to the said apartment is permitted to enter the jacket while it escapes .therefrom into the apartment in a heated state. The heating-pipes are bent, and each communicates at one end with a feed-chamber, and at. the other end with a discharge chamber, situated at one end ot' the box or jacket, so that a constant circulation may be kept up in the pipes.

ln the drawing, the letter A designates the box or jacket of my radiator, and B B are heating-pipes arranged within it. rlhe box or jacket A is provided with a door, O, at one end thereof, and at its other end with two branches, A1 A2, which extend therefrom in opposite directions. These branches A1 A2 are each provided with holes or perforations d e in one ot' their sides, the holes d being formed in the outer side of the branch A1, while the holes e are formed in the inner side of the branch A2. rlhe branch A2 communicates directly with the interior ot' the box or jacketA, while the branch A1 communicates therewith through a tlue, D, the object of this flue being to conduct the air, which is per-` mitted to enter through the perforations d, to the rear part ot' the jacket.

The heating-pipes B are bent in the form ot' a U, or nearly so, as shown, and they are each connected at one end to a chamber, E, and at the other end to a chamber, F. These chambers E F are situated at the outer end .ot' the jacket A, and contiguous to the branches AI A2. Steam, or any other suitable heating medium, is admitted to the chamber E through a pipe, g. From the chamber E the steam circulates through the heatingpipes B, whence it discharges into the chan1 ber F, and from this chamber it escapes by a pibe, h.

In putting up my radiator l arrange the body of the jacket A contiguous to the tloor of an apartment, and place the branches A1 A2 in the wall of such apartment in such a manner that the perforations d e, respectively, face the opposite sides ot' the wall. The pure cold air exterior to the said wall is permitted to enter the jacket A through the perforations d, where it becomes heated, while it escapes into the apartment in its heated state through the perforations e, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 1.

What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A radiator composed of a box or jacket, A, having the branch Al, provided with perforation d on its outside, and the branch A2, provided with pertbrationeon its inside, plate, in combination with the heating-pipes l5, the whole being adapted to operate substantially as set forth.

Iln testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 18th day ot' April, 1876.
