UNIT D STATES GEORGE CLARK, OF WEST TROY, NE\V YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-EIGHTH PATENT OFFICE.

TO CHARLES TEUSCHER, OF SAME PLACE.

STEAM-RADIATOR,

SPECIFICATION forming part of 'Letters Patent No. 286,780, dated October 16, 1883." Application filed February 10,1883. (No model.)

which the following is a specification.

My invention applies to steamradiators composed of separate metallic pipes setinto and opening into a common base, which base is inclosed and furnished with stop-cocks for the inlet of steam and the outlet of water formed I I tor.

by the condensation of the steam, the pipes furnishing a means for the more extended circulation of the steam, and diffusing warmth by reason of the heat imparted to their surfaces by the steam so circulating within them; and my invention consists in the organization of a steam-radiator, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

Accompanying and forming a part of this specification are two plates containing four figures illustrating my invention, of which Figure 1 is a view of my invention in perspective. Fig. 2 is a cross vertical section taken on the line 00 m of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken longitudinally on the line 0c 00 of Fig. 1. tion taken on the line 00 m of Fig. 2.

The several parts of the device of which my invention is composed are designated by letter reference and their operations explained as follows:

D is the base, and T the top, of the radia- H, A, and H are three chambers, constituting one of aseries, of one or more of which the radiator is composed, in combination with a base and top, H and H being the outer chambers, and A the middle one or discharge-pipe.

B is the separable tube, placed in the middle chamber, A, and extending down to the bottom of the base D.

S is a section of the radiator of one of the series composed of the chambers H, A, and H.

E is the opening from the base D tothe base of the steam-section S.

M is the joint formed byscrewim the steamsection S to the base D.

K is the water formed by the condensation Fig. 4 is ahorizontal secof the steam that has been passed through the outer chambers, H and H, and discharged through the middle chamber, A, and the tube 13 to the bottom of the base D.

P is the inletfor steam, and R is the outlet for the water formed by the condensation of the steam. The arrows indicate the course taken by the steam after passing from the inlet P through the opening E into the steam-pipe S. The steam, entering the baseD through the inletpipe P, takes the course indicated by the arrows, and passes through the opening E up into the outside chambers, H and H, to the top of the pipe S, where it again unites and follows the course indicated by the arrows down through the middle chamber, A, and the tube B to the lower part of the base D, the new steam being thereby kept separate and distinct from the old steam, and suffering no check nor losing any of its heating-power through the presence or resistance of any air-cushion in any one of the three chambers.

From the foregoing description and reference to the drawings it will be observed that each radiatorsectiou S for the reception and passage of the steam is so constructed as to comprise three chambers, each chamber opening into the other, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings; also, by making the tube B separate, which simplifies the casting'of the section S and reduces the cost of construction, it can readily and easily be adjusted to the base of the radiator to secure a proper steam-trap, as shown.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Detters Patent, 1s-

In a steam radiator, the combination of three chambers, constituting a series, and a separable dependent or suspended tube attached to the intermediate chamber of the series, and extending down into the radiator to form a steam-trap, substantially as and for the purpose stated. I
