ARNOVITZ IVOLFF, OF NEIV YORK, N. Y.

GAS HEATER OR RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,958, dated January 12, 1892.

Application led August 3l, 1891.

.To all whom it may concern.-

3e it known that I, ARNOVITZ WOLFF, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have nvented a new and useful Improvement in Gas Heaters or Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a compact and portable heateror radiator for warming rooms in buildings by gas-flames.

In carrying out my invention I employ a base and top that are connected together, and between them are vertically placed sheetmetal radiating-tubes in which are gas-burners. These radiating-tubes have frames with mica, through which the light of the gas-flames can be seen and by which a cheerful appearance is imparted to the room in which the heater is located. These radiating-tubes also have openings opposite the internal burners, through which said burners are lighted, and openings at the upper ends for the escape of the heated air. I prefer to place a false bottom within the base, so that the light of the gas-flames does not shine upon the oor and downward radiation is intercepted. The openin gs for lighting the burners have covers, which are connected by a rod and are adapted to be lifted together to successively light the burners.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section and partial elevation of my improvedrievice. Fig. 2 is a cross-section at o: and Fig. 8 is a sectional plan at y y. Y

d represents the base, which is preferably of cast metal more or less ornamental and provide2d with collars ce' and an internal iange at a b represents a flat cast-metal top plate with collars b, and c are tubes of sheet metal, such as Russia iron, which at their respective ends fit over the collars c/ b' and constitute the heat-radiating tubes.

An imperforate plate or sheet of metal d' covers the top b, and an open-work ornamental top or coveresurmounts the heater or radiator, and screw-ended tie-rods or tubes 1, 2, 3, and -l at the respective corners firmly bind and hold the top e and base d, into which they screw, and the intermediate parts together.

A gas-pipe f passes into and lengthwise Serial No. 404,189. (No model.)

through the radiator-base a, and said pipe is burner being within and central of each tube c, and the openings at c2 afford a means of 55 reaching and lighting the burners f2, as they are adjacent to said burners. The pipe f may be flexibly or rigidly connected to the main gas-supply. The oblong frames 7L, having lugsrat their lower ends, are to be secured vertically at openings made in the tubes c, and these frames are adapted to hold mica, and the light of the gas-flames is visible and passes through said mica into the apartment where the heater is located to shed a cheerful light in said apartment. To the lugs of each of these frames 7L are hinged small plates fi, adapted to fit over and close the openings c2. These plates i have perforated lugs, through which passes a rod by means of which all 7o thrown down upon the iioor and to interrupt 8o radiated heat. The serrated edges of the plate 7c allow for the admission into the base a of atmospheric air for the gas-flames.

I provide openings c in opposite sides of the sheet-metal tubes c at their upper ends,

and these openings provide for the escape into the apartment of the heated air from. within the tubes c. The radiated heat outside the tubes c also ascends and causes a circulation and heating of the air of the apartment.

I claim as my invention-- 1. The combination, in a gas heater or radiator, with a base and a gas-pipe passing through the base and having burners, of vertical sheet-metal tubes c, rising from said base and having upper openings o for the escape of heated air and lower openings c*2 to allow for lighting the burners, and an imperforate plate closing the upper ends of the tubes c, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination, in a gas heater or radiator, with a base and a gas-pipe passing ICQ through the base and-having burners, of vertieal sheet-metal tubes c, rising from said base and having upper openings o for the escape of heated air and lower openings c2 to allow for lighting the burners, frames connected upon the faces of said tubes c and having lugs -at their lower ends, and the plates or frames 1', Connected to said lugs and adapted to cover the openings c2, and an imperforate plate clos.- f

i-ng the upper ends of the tubes c, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination, with the base and Vtop and the gas pipe and burners, of the vertical sheet-metal tubes c, the frames h, vwith mica connected therewith and having lugs at their collars .and having openings e neartlieir upper vendsythe imperforate plate d, covering the tops of said tubes e, the open-work top e, resting upon the plate d, the corner tie-rods connecting the base a and top e, and the plate 7c within the base, having turned-up serrated edges,-and means for securing said plate tov the base, substantially as set forth.

5. Theoombina-tion, in a gas heater or radiator, with y'a base having legs7 of vertical sheetinetal tubes c, rising from said base, a gaspipe passing through saidbase and having burners at the lower ends of the tubes c, and a bottom plate 70, fitting freely Within and connected to the base and having turn ed-up edges around which'V air passes*l to rtheburners, whereby. downward radiation is-` prevented, substantially as specified'.`
