HOT-AIR REGISTER Filed 001;. 5, 1950 L INVENTOR.
" LAWRENCE A.WHITEI-IEAD A TTURNEY Patented May 26, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOT-AIR REGISTER Lawrence A. Whitehead, Richmond, Ind.
Application October 5, 1950, Serial No. 188,626
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to hot air registers for room heating purposes.
An object of the invention is to provide a hot air register which may be used as a replacement for the baseboard of the room to be heated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple, economically produced, easily installed and removable register which will direct the heat upwardly against the wall and downwardly against the floor.
Other objects of the invention relate to the details of construction resulting in a device which may be produced by a minimum of operations and easily installed.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a perspective view of the front or cover portion of a register embodying the features of this invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the register in assembly, and
Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the interior of a room with a register of this invention installed.
With reference to Fig. 1, the heat radiating portion of a register 4 is generally rectangular, and comprises end plates 5, a front vertical plate 6, an upwardly sloping front plate 1, and a top horizontal plate 8. Downwardly directed louvers i2 are formed in the front vertical plate 5, preferably by stamping, and upwardly directed louvers H are formed similarly in the upwardly sloping front plate I.
As shown in Fig. the inner edge of the top plate 8 is provided with a downwardly extending edge l5, to engage an offset 16, in a back plate ll, secured to a room wall It, by means of screws I9. The lower edge of the vertical front plate 6 is turned inwardly, as at 26, to rest upon the room floor 21 when the radiator is in position for use.
A removable molding strip 25 of wood or metal is removably secured to the wall l8 along the inner edge of the top plate 8.
A heat conduit 21 opens through the floor 2| into the interior of the register 4.
Fig. 3 illustrates the improved register as it may be mounted in a room. It may be applied in one section or in a multiple of sections at separated positions in a room, or it may be extended all around the base of the side walls, depending upon the severity of the temperature conditions.
In making the installation, the back plate I! is secured along the bottom of the wall [8, adjacent the heat conduit 21, by means of screws I9. The register portion 4 is adjusted to position by hooking the edge I5, in the top plate 8, over the offset I6, in the back plate I1, and pressing downwardly until the inturned portion 20 of the plate rests upon the floor 2|.
The molding 25 is then 2 attached to the wall. If desired, a molding 28 may be attached to the floor.
The register 4 may be removed for cleaning by removing the molding strip 25 and lifting the register 4 from engagement with the plate H.
A horizontal baffle plate 30 is attached by screws 3| to the supporting plate I! in vertically spaced relation to the floor opening of the heat conduit 21. The bafile plate, which is slightly narrower and slightly longer than the heat conduit opening, is spaced above the opening about two-thirds the height of the supporting plate I1. Its purpose is to provide an even distribution of the heat longitudinally of the register.
The register may be finished in any color desired to harmonize with the wall decorations or room furniture.
While I have shown and described my invention with respect to certain details of construc tion, it is to be understood that I do not wish to be unduly limited thereto, certain modifications being possible without departing from the spirit or scope of my invention.
I claim:
In a heat dispersing device for attachment to the bottom of a room wall, a heat dispenser comprising a pair of end plates, a vertical front plate turned inwardly at its bottom edge to rest on the floor, the vertical plate being perforated and outwardly deflected above the perforations to form downwardly directing louvers, an upwardly and rearwardly sloping top plate joining the top of the vertical front plate, the sloping top plate being perforated and upwardly deflected to form vertical lips below the perforations to direct air vertically upward against and parallel with the wall, a horizontal top plate joining the upper edge of the sloping front plate, a downwardly turned edge on the horizontal top plate for contact with the wall, and a supporting plate attached to the lower edge of the wall to which the heat dispersing device is attached.
LAWRENCE A. WHITEHEAD.
