HEATING-DRUM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 483,116, dated September 20, 1892.

Application filed March 30, 1892- Serial No. 427.001. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SOLOMON M. KEMP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Drums, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved heating-drum for utilizing the heat produced by an ordinary burner-such as a lamp, gasburner, or the liketo warm a room.

With this object in viewthe invention consists in the novel features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter described.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 shows a front elevation of the complete apparatus; Fig. 2; a vertical section thereof; Fig. 3, a horizontal section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, abottom view of the drum cap or cover.

A curved plate Astands on a suitable base B and is provided with a top cover 0, having a central circularopening a and an upwardextending flange b about the same. This plate A constitutes an open-front shell or casing for containing the burner, which in the present instance is a lamp D of the wellknown central-draft type and stands on the base B. The shell A has a horizontal partition E, with a slot D to receive the neck of the lamp, and a slide Fworks in guide-strips F, secured at opposite sides of said slot. This slide fits around the outer side of the lampneck and serves to hold the lamp steady. The partition and slide divide the lower part of the casing, which contains the globe of the lamp, from the upper part, containing the burner. A series of openings 0 in the lower part of the case insure an ample supply of air to keep the lampglobe cool, and another series of openings (1 above the partition E supply air to the burner. A hood d is secured on the outer side of the casing, just above thelatter series of openings, and serves to direct the fresh air at the bottom of the room into the openings. A cylindrical drum G is mounted on the top of the casing A, and its bottom has an internal conical cap H, which fits over the flange b. A coiled pipe I leads out of this conical cap to the top parts of the drum, where it points toward the front, and the drum has a line of openings .2 at the front opposite the mouthf of this coil. A cover J is fitted to the top of the drum, and an inclined deflector-plate K is fastened in this cover with its lower part at the rear of the same and its highest part at the front. This plate appears as a false cover for the drum. A number of pipes L open into the lower part of the drum and extend downward on the outside of the casing A to the lower part of the same, where they have flared mouths g. These pipes are perforated throughout their length, the perforations h being made in four sides, as shown. The drum and pipes are removable from the case A, and each pipe is held at its lower end between staples i on the casing by a hasp j, which takes around the pipe and is hinged in one staple and hooks into the other, as seen in Figs. 1 and 3.

The operation is as follows: Whatever heat and light radiates from the burner laterally is thrown outward by the plate A, which thus serves as a reflector. It is therefore given a parabolic curve, as seen in Fig. 3. The greatest heat of the burner and the products of combustion therewith pass directly upward into the conical cap H and thence through the coil I and exit therefrom at the mouth f. The heat which radiates from the coil during the passage of the products of combustion therethrough heats the air contained in the drum. This heated air, together with that which emanates from the mouth of the coil, issues through the openings 6 into the room. At the same time the colder air near the floor passes up through the pipes L, entering the same through the flared mouths g and perforations h, and supplies the drum with air to be heated and in turn supplied to the room. The inclined plate K serves to defleet the heated air in the drum toward the exit-openings a. By my arrangement aroom 5 of average size may be thoroughly warmed and kept at a comfortable temperature with an ordinary lamp, gas-burner, or similar heatproducing device. It will be found very useful in bath-rooms and similar places, which [OS are not usually provided with heaters.

It is evident the construction here shown may be varied without, departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Having thus described my invontion, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a suitable casing or shell for containing a burner,a drum located above the burner and having an inlet for air at the lower part and an outlet-opening at the upper part, and a coil in the drum, having its lower end open and over the burner and its upper end open and within the drum and directed toward the outlet-opening in the latter.

2. The combination of a suitable casing or shell for containing a burner, a drum located above the same and containing a coil having its inlet end over the burner and its outlet at the upper part of the drum, the latter provided with an inlet for air at the lower part and an outlet at the upper part, a cover fitting the top of the drum, and a deflector-plate in said cover.

3. The combination of a suitable casing or shell for containing a burner, a drum located above the same and containing a coil having its inlet end over the burner and its outlet at the upper part of the drum, the latter provided with an outlet for air at the upper part, and perforated pipes opening into the lower part of the drum and extending downward therefrom and open at the lower ends.

4. The combination of a suitable casing or shell for containing aburner, a drum located above the same and containing a coil having its inlet end over the burner and its outlet at the upper part of the drum, the latter provided with an outlet for air at the upper part, perforated pipes opening into the lower part of the drum and extending downward adjacent to the exterior of the casing or shell and open at their lower ends, and hinged hasps on the said casing and arranged to take around andhold the pipes, in the manner described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

SOLOMON M. KEMP.
