and bottom ot the easing and having' 'flanges A valve l5 is arranged in the valve Casing at its which are fastened to the onus or and a double pedal 16 is connected With the the easing'. valve stem and is loeated in front of the grille Coils A and B are arranged in parallel plate so that it vmay be actuated bythe foot "5b rela-tion in the easing, said coils being vertiof a person. As shown in Figure e, when 10tthe valve has been moved to a vertical position, the heating fluid will pass from the pipe 10 through the valve casing into coil B and after passing through coil B in one direction,

it will enter coil A and pass through the same in an opposite direction and thus return to the valve casing and from said casing the fluid will flow through the pipe 13. Thus all the fluid is passing through the radiator.

When the valve 15 is moved to a horizontal iosition, none of the fluid will enter the coils,

ut will all pass through the pipe 13. In intermediate positions of the valve, some of the fluid will enter the radiator and the rest will flow directly into the pipe 13. Thus the flow of fluid is controlled by the valve and said valve provides means for regulating the temperature of the room in which the device is placed. This valve also provides means 2,0 for facilitating the draining of the system by siphon means or the like.

A small electric motor M is arranged in the lower part of the casing 1, at the center thereof, and a fan 17 is fastened to the shaft of the motor and is located in front of the rill plate 2, with a cage 1S enclosing the an. Thus this fan will increase the circulation of air into and from the device, but

its use is optional. Portions of the coils may 3 be bent to accommodate the motor, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a radiator which can be constructed to sell at low cost and one which 3,5 can be placed in an opening in a wall under a window or in an other place in or on a wall and the flow o the heating fluid thereof is controlled by a single valve which may be operated by the foot of a person.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combina- 5 tion and arrangement of the several parts,

provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

4What I claim is V 1. A radiator of the class described comprising a number of coils each formed of elongated loops having their ends connected together, a valve casing to which the front ends of the coils are connected, a supply pipe connected with the casing, a discharge pipe '5 connected with the casing and a valve meniber in the casing for causing the fluid from the supply pipe to flow through the coils or through the discharge pipe without entering the coils or through both the coils and the discharge pipe.

2. A radiator of the class described comprising a casing adapted to be placed on a wall or in an opening in a wall or the like and having its front open, a pair of coils in the casing arranged in parallel position and with their rear ends connected together, a valve casing in the casing to which the front ends of the coils are connected, a discharge pipe connected with the valve casing, a supply pipe connected with the valve casing, a i

valve member in the valve casing for causing the fluid from the supply pipe to pass through the coils and then through the discharge pipe or through the discharge pipe without entering the coils or through both the coils and the discharge pipe.

3. A radiator of the class described comprising a casing adapted to be placed in ai. opening in a Wall or the like and having its front open, a pair of coils in the casing arranged in parallel position and with their rear ends connected together, a valve casing in the casing to which the front ends of the coils are connected, a discharge pipe connected with the valve casing, a supply pipe connected with the valve casing, a valve meinber in the valve casing for causing the fluid from the supply pipe to pass through the coils and then through the discharge pipe or through the discharge pipe without entering the coils or through both the coils and the discharge pipe, a grille plate closing the front of the casing and means whereby the valve member can be operated by the foot of a person.

4. A radiator of the class described cornprising a casing, spaced parallel vertically arranged coils therein, a supply pipe for supplying heating fluid to the coils. a discharge pi e, valve means for causing the fluid to pass t rough the coil and then the dis' charge pipe or through the discharge pipe without entering the coil or through both the coil and the discharge pipe, and means disposed at one end of the casing and protruding beyond the facing of' the casing, whereby the valve member can be mechanically operated.

5. A radiator of the class described comprising a series of alternately arranged coils having their ends connected together, means for spacing the coils from one another, a valve casing to which the front ends of the coils are connected, a supply pipe connected with the casing, a discharge pipe connected with the casing, and a valve member in the casing causing the fluid from the supply pipe to flow through the coils or through the discharge pipe without entering the coils or through both the coils and the discharge pipe.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature.
