THOMAS T. TASKR, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

HOT-WATER RADIATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 19,591, dated March 9, 1858.

To all whom t mag/ cncerm I Be it known thatl I, Trios. T. TAsKEmof Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Mode of Putting Toget-her the Series of Tubes for Radiators in Steam or Hot-Water Furnaces, and that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the principle or character which distinguishes it from all other things before known and yof the usual manner of making, modifying, and using the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l, is an elevation of the entire radiator. Fig. 2 a perspective View of one of the series of tubes of the radiator, and Fig. 3, a detached view showing the manner of uniting the several series of tubes.

My invention consists in an improved mode of putting together boiler and radiator tubes in furnaces for warming buildingsl by hot water or steam, described as follows.

A represents a single series of tubes of the radiator composed of a number of tubes a joined toget-her, and having free 'communication with each other by means of the tubes C, D, and the end or terminal sections E.

Y These sections are fitted to each other by the shoulder and flange joints E, F, andI are bound firmly together by the through bolt H, which passes through all the sections and is tightened by mea-ns of the nuts K, the

joints being all made tight by washers of vulcanized rubber or other suitabl-e material. By this mode of securing the several series of tubes, I gain not only great advantages in the increased facility of putting together the radiators and economy of construction, but I also obviate the leaks which are so common in other radiators as a consequence of expansion and contract-ion from changes of temperature. The through bolt being surrounded by hot water or steam expands immediately on the first application .of heat and thus prevents the breaking of the bolts or the forcible stripping of the screw threads by the expansion of the tubes.

I am aware that sections of tubes with and without flange and shoulder joints have been secured together by through bolts, and'I lay no claim to this mode of securing parts of a tube together, but what I claim 1s- The mode of securing together the several divisions or systems of radiator tubes as herein set forth, the same consisting in the employment of the four terminal sections E to each division, the wh'ode being held together by the through bolts H as set forth, thereby affording great facility in setting up the radiators and in taking them apart.
