IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR HEATING'APARTMENTS BY HOT WATER.

Specification forming' part of Letters Patent No. 30,065, dated September 18, i860.

Be it known that we, JACOB F. HUNTER and.

F. W. GEIssENHAINER, both of the city .of New York, in the county land. State of New York, have invented a 'new and Improved Hot-VVater Stove; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact'description thereof.

The nature of our invention consists in aA novel arrangement and combination of parts constituting a new portable hot-water stove.

It also consists in the employment ofya deiiecting-cone in the interiorof such stove, as

Awill be explained below.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will proceed to describe it by the aid of the drawing, which is l a cross-section 'through the apparatus.`

lM is a gas-burner of any suitable character constructed with a' view to developing heat ratherthan light by the combustion of the gas, and vn is a pipe conducting the gas thereto from the main. (Not represented.)

G is a conical coil of metal pipe, cc1nn1uni-- eating at thevbase with the pipe J and at the top with the pipe J H is`a similar, but larger, coil, surrounding G and supported at a little distance therefrom. It communicates at the bottom and top withl the pipes I and J, which extend horizontally in the opposite direction from 'those with which G is connected. The coils of the pipes G and H are not in close contact., but stand at a suiiicient distance each from the 'other to allow of the passage between each convolution and the next'of a small quantity 'ot flame or heated air.

A is a conical case surrounding the double coils'Gand` Hat a sufficient distance therefrom-'to lallow affre'e circulationiot the products of combustion. Itis'openat the base and communicates at its topI with a pipe, B, leading to the chimney of' the building. K is a deiiectorafV hollow double cone of metal 'mounted within the interior coil,-G. It is of such. diameter 'as nearly to vfill the space therein. Y

C C aresections of a circular tube which extends around A and receive'the pipes .I J. D D represent similar sections of a'correspondingcircular tube located at a lower level andcommunicating with the pipes .I I.

P-P are vertical pipes connecting C witliD.

The exteriors of P as also of C and D are'exposed to the atmosphere of the apartment,

which circulates freely among and about their y heated surfaces.

The hot products of combustion rising from the burner M are defiected outward by the cone K and circulate through all the spaces. By this mea-ns the-heated air is conveyed into the space between theconical coil G andthe l corresponding larger coil,'H, and fr'orn this space it escapes in a similar manner through i the spaces between the'convolutions of H and iills the interior of the case A, but at a much reduced temperature, in consequence of `the i airhaving parted with a large portion of its heat in its contact with the cool coils GH. I t ultimately rises and escapes from the case A, through the pipe B, into the flue or chimney. The coils Gand H, asr alsothe pipes I,'C, P, D,

vessel opening into (I to ll up the apparatus heat applied to coils G and Ilcauses the water in them to rise, as indicated by the blue an d thence downward through pipes P Pinto l), returning back to coils G and H through pipes I J at base at areduced temperature, to

radiation from C, P', andD is taken up bythe air in the apartment, which by this means beheat-receiving and the heat-diffusing water- With a dividing partition in any manner equivalent to ours.

and J are filled with water. E represents a and to allow for expansion of water. The

arrows, and flow through pipes I and J into C,

be again heated, as before'. The heat lost by comes heatedthrough vthe primary agency of parts combined and arranged inconnectionl Our stove vmaybe used for coal, Wood.;` or other fuel, if desired, in lieu of gas, the severalvpipesbeinga11-i1ed with Water, and the effec-1 5 will be to diuse the heat'l in the sameV manner as above indicated. p

Having now-fully described our invention, what We claim as new` therein, anddesire to secure by Letters Batent, is-

1. The combination and arrangement of the coi1's` of pipe G and II, or their equivalent Waff` ter-heatingsurfaqe, the casing A; and one o1"v more annular butradiating vessels, or one or incre series of air-heating pipes, P, surround.-

ing the same, forming a portable hot-water' stove substantially of the character above set forth.

2. The employment of the coneK in the above-described hotwater stove, arranged relatively to the other parts of the same, substantially 'in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth v JACOB F. HUNTER.
