SPECIFICATION forming* part ofl'IAetters` Patent No. 284,545, dated .September 4, 1888.

` i Application filed February 21, 1883. (Model.)

To aZZwhom z't/.may concern:

Beit `known that .I, GEORGE W. FAIR, of

'Daytom in thecounty of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain yneWand useful Improvements.,` in Heating-Furnaces and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and `exact description of the invention, Which Will enable others skilled in the art to `which -it appertains to make and use the naces, and it consists in the improved construction, combination, and arrangement of parts of the same, as Will hereinafter be more fully described, and particularly pointed` out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, the letterA indicates the radiator, B the nre-place, and C the ash-pit. On each side of the ash-pit is an opening, D, closed `by a hinged door, E E. Through these openings the draft enters thefurnace, and may be regulated by openingor closing the doors E more `or less. The draft en tering through these doors is ledthrough the `side grate-bars, F F, into the lire. These side grate-bars are provided with a series of openings, G, through their Whole length and stand at right angles to the bottom grate, II, which may be of any desirable construction, and is `operated by a bar, I, passing through a slot in the front plate of the furnace. f The air passing into there from the sides as Well as from the bottom through the Whole length of thefre causes aperfect and even combustion in the Whole length ofthe fire-place. ,l Y.

Above the door B', through which the fuel is fed and which opens into the4 fireplace from the front, is an opening, J, covered by a circular adjustable register-plate,K, of the usual construction, leading intoa T-shaped tube orfunnel, L, Which opens intol two channels, Z,

one upon each side ofthe neck M, formed by the contractingl, sides andtopR of the fireplace, which Achannelshave openings m on their inner sides leading into the said neck, and conductingthe air passing through the ,tube L into contact with the\ascending produc-ts of the combustion in the re-place,where it is mixed with the same "and ignited, assist ing in consuming the smoke and causing an intense heat in the radiator. By opening the register-plate Wider and admitting a larger amount of air, the combustion in the re-place 6o may be decreased, so that the register-opening mayalso serve as a regulator for the combustion, and bybeing contracted in the said opening, immediately above the center ofthe fire, the smoke is partially consumed, and the hot air and' otherproducts of combustion ascending into the radiator are superheated.

The radiator A is cylindrical in shape, and a drum, N, open at both ends, passes longitudinally through it from the front to the rear 7o in a slightly-upward direction, admitting .of a

portion of the air to be heated passing through it. Y Inside the radiator, to the rear of opening M, extend a series of semi-annular partitions alternatelyl from the bottom and the top of the 7 5 radiator, and extend slightly beyond the central plane of the same, serving to guide the `products of the combustion in an undulatory4 course through the radiator, subjecting all points of the same to the heat and, retaining 8o the latter in the radiator before passing out in the chimney through the aperture S.

The Whole furnace is inclosed` in a brick-` chamber, P, having openings to admit the air to enter, and `to conduct it, after it has been heated by contact with the radiator, through appropriate ducts to the rooms desired to be heated. l

A chute or box, Q, leading obliquely from the side of the brick chamber into the re- 9o place serves to conduct the fuel, and may be l filled, allowing the fuel gradually to slide down as it is consumed in the re.

nately extending from top and bottom, and ex- Ico tending beyond the centralhorizontal plane of the radiator, substantially as set forth.

` consisting of the nre-place B, having arched sides and top R, contracting to form neck M, and having fuel-chute Q, grate H, side gratebars, F, having transverse perforations G, and air-ducts D, perforated channels Z, radiator A, 15 drunl N, and semi-annular partitions O, all constructed and combined to operate as and for the purpose shown and set forth.

Intestiniony that I claim the foregoing as my4 own I have hereunto affixed my signature in 2o presence of two Witnesses.

' GEORGE W. FAIR.
