IVILLIAM E. LANDON, OF PHILIPSBURG, ASSIGNOR TO JAMES E. HUGHES, OF PITTSBURG, AND LEWIS N. IRELAND, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.

RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 486,480, dated November 22, 1892 Application filed September 19, 1891- Scrial No. 406,181. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern; enters the top connecting perforated pipe and Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. LANDON, is distributed therefrom equally in all of the a citizen of the United States, residing at tubes or sections of the radiator. This baffle Philipsburg, in the county of Centre and not only forces the heating medium to the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain top of the radiator, but at the same time alnew and useful Improvements in Radiators; lows the water of condensation to fiow out of and I do hereby declare the following to be a the end of the lower perforated connectingfull, clear, and exact description of the invenpipe and thus down the supply-pipe. This tion, such as will enable others skilled in the construction is obviously forone-pipe work, I art'to which it appertains to make and use and with these objects in view my invention the same. consists of the parts and combination of parts My invention relates to positive-acting radias will be hereinafter more fully set out. ators such as is shown in my patent, No. In the drawings,Figure1isaside elevation 457,649,issued August 11, 1891.

Either of the above forms of baffle the baffle-tube, so as to prevent the baffie from may be used, as the main object of my inbeing pushed too far in the pipe 0.

45 vention is to prevent the steam or hot water In Fig. 5 the baffle-tube is similar to that from entering the lower perforated connectshown in Fig. 1, with the exception that the ing-pipe, thereby forcing it up the first tube plate D extends down past the tube proper or section to the top of the radiator, where it D, as at (l, and below the water-line. In this instance the bathe-tube is provided with a small aperture d, through which the water of condensation flows out of the pipe 0.

In Fig. 3 I drill or cast or in any other manner form a small hole 0' in the lower part of the pipe 0, the outlet of which is below the water-line in the first section of the radiator. The outer end of the pipe 0 in this instance is closed by a plate D. It may be closed by a plug or in fact in any desirable manner.

It is obvious that my radiator is a direct one, or what is known to the trade a onepipe work. The steam enters the inlet Z and strikes against the battle-plate and is thereby deflected upward,as indicated by the arrows. Passing up this first section it enters the perforated distributing-pipe (not shown) at the top, and passing through the perforations in said pipe is distributed evenly inall of the sections composing the radiator, the water of condensation falling into the pipe 0, as fully described in my patent hereinbefore mentioned, and passes out through the opening in the battles, thence to the source of heat.

The bulb on the lower part of the section A is always filled with water of condensation up to the line on which the steam enters.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with two radiator-sections having perforated connecting-pipes to establish communication, of a baflle-tube with one end closed, provided with a duct to establish communication between the first and second section at the bottom, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with two radiator-sections, of a bafl'le-tube having one end closed and provided with a duct D and the rib D said duct establishing communication between the first and second sections, substantially as described.

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

WILLIAM E. LANDON.
