ARCHIBALD BRAKE, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO JOHN THOMAS DODWELL, OF SAME PLACE.

H OT-WATER RADIATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,864, dated January 3, 1888.

Application filed January 14. 1887.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ARCHIBALD BRAKE, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, molder, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hot-Water Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is,to design a simple and cheaply-constructed radiator; and it consists in the peculiar combinations and the novel construction,arrangement,and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed. I

Figure 1 is a perspective outside view of my improved radiator. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section.

A represents a series of metal tubes with elbow ends a and I), the elbow end a of one tube being designed to fit onto the elbow end I) of the tube immediately next to it, thejoint between the two tubes being soldered or otherwise hermetically sealed.

B is the feed-pipe, which I prefer to carry up through the hollow leg or end support, 0, to the top tube, A, to which I connect it, as indicated in Fig. 2. The top or cap D is fitted over the end supports, 0, and is designed to bind them together.

In order to support the'ends of the tubes A which are not supported by the elbows a and 6,1 place between the tubes A, at the ends specified, a block, E, and I preferably secure all the tubes together by means of the bolts F, which I preferably carry up through the legs C, as indicated. The end supports, 0, are hollow, and at their lower ends terminate in feet Serial No. 224,341. No model.)

M, abox e which are the inwardlyextending lugs L. The bolts F pass through the end supports and through the lugs of the same. These bolts are provided at their upper ends with heads which engage sockets in the cap D, while their opposite ends are threaded and are provided with nuts, as shown. The water, which enters through the feed-pipe B into the top tube A, will flow, as indicated by arrows, to the opposite side of the top tube, where it passes down to the next tube, and thence, as indicated by arrows, to the bottom tube A, where it escapes through the pipe G, connected with the lowermost of the tubes A, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination, with the hollow end supports, 0, cap D, and tubes A, provided with elbows connected together, as described, of the bolts F, passed through said cap and supports, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the hollow end supports, C, formed with feet M and in wardlyextending lugs L, of the cap D, the tubes A, formed with elbows and connected together, as described, the cap D, the feed-pipe B, passed through one of said supports and connected with one of said tubes, and the bolts F, passed through said cap, supports, and flanges, substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.

Toronto, January 6, 1887.
