SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 516,920, dated March 20, 1894.

ApplicationiiledApril6,1893. Serial No. 469,242. (Nomodel.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES I. DANGLEE and HENRY RUPPEL, citizens of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented A certain new and useful Improvements in Heat- Radiators; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable oth- 1o ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention appertains to heat radiators of the variety in which gas is employed as an agent for heating, and the invention herein I5 shown and described is a modication of the radiator set forth and claimed in our application executed on the 27th Aday of March, 1893, and bearing Serial No. 469,241, filed April 6, 1893. In the construction shown here zo a single burner tube is employed with a pair of circulating tubes, one upon each side thereof, and there are other differences of construction in View of said application, all substantially as shown and described herein and par- 2 5 ticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a vertical central sectional elevation of our modied form of radiator, taken on line 1, 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is across section thereof on 3o line 2, 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isa vertical central sectional elevation at right angles to Fig. 1, and on a line corresponding to line 3, 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4C is a perspective viewof the combined burnerfand supporting frame for the in- 3 5 duction or burner tube. Fig. 5 shows a modication of the induction tube in that it hasa glass or transparent bulb or globe at its bottom about the burner, as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the base of the burner, which, in this instance, is shown as made in a single piece and having seats a for the circulating tubes B and an air channel a', space or chamber within said base beneath said tubes through which the heated air passes in its course out of the radiator. The tubes B are surmounted by the cap or top C of the radiator, fashioned and ornamented about its edge as taste may dictate, and provided with seats 5o c for the tops of said tubes corresponding thereof.

substantially to the seatsa t'or thelower ends This cap or top rises above said tubes some distance and is provided with suitable open-work plate or cover D, overlapping the cap C in thisinstance, though it may come wholly within the same. Beneath this cover within the cap is supported a curved plate E, Figs. 1 and 3, resting along its edges upon the shoulders c of the said cap, wherebyit is held at such distance above the upper ends of the tubes B that a free circulating lair passage is provided beneath the plate from tube to tube.

Centrally between the two tubes B, B, and apart therefrom,is a burner tube G, suspended from a suitable seat on the cap C, and resting at its lower end upon burner frame H. This inner burner tube G, it will ybe seen, is shorter somewhat than the side tubes B, and preferably is made larger in cross section so 7o as to be capable of carrying a suliicient supply of air for both said tubes. The burner frame H is formed with a tubularring h, having jets h at intervals, and is connected at its center by cross tubes h2 and with the gas 75 pipe K which passes up centrally through the base A and serves as a support for the said frame; short shouldered arms h8 are provided on ,frame H at intervals yabout its ring h, which serve as supports for the tube G, bear- So ing on the extremities of said arms. By this construction there is a free air circulation from beneath both within and Without the burner ring. When the burner 4has been lighted a free circulation of air is at once es'- 8 5 tablished upward .in the tube G and downward in the side tubes B, B, and thence out through the openings a in the front of the base A. It will thus be seen that the atmosphere which enters the tube G is not only 9o heated as it enters, but is carried forward through both sets of tubes and through the entire radiator, top and' bottom. This long line of travel with the discharge at the bottom `retards the flow ofthe air just enough to inv sure good radiation, and in this respect differs very materially from a construction in which the burner is at the bottom of a tube and the discharge at the top thereof. In that case there is such free flow of air up through :oo

the tube that radiation is greatly reduced and the heat is given off into the upper air of the room.

In Fig. 5 we show the burner tube G provided at its lower end with a transparent globe or bulb L, which serves to give out light as Well as heat, and renders the radiator attractive as Well as doubly useful. Any convenient Way may be adopted for supporting the globe. In other respects this radiator is constructed substantially like the one shown in the remaining figures.

The openings a may be as here shown or in other parts of the base, and the tubes B might be induction tubes and the central tube the return tube, thus reversing the order here shown; and the construction here shown might be otherwise modified and still be Within the spirit of the invention. There might be one very large central induction tube and four return tubes, or the like.

I-Iaving thus described our invention, what We claim is- 1. The combined radiator and air heater herein described, comprising a chalnbered base,a chambered top, a central induction tube suspended from the top and having an open end separate from and above the base, a gas burner in said open end, and two hot air return dues connecting the top with the base, the said base having openings to discharge the heatedair into the room, substantially as set forth.

2. The combined radiator and air heater herein described, comprising a base having openings in its edge through which the heated air is discharged into the room, a chambered top, a number of tubes connecting the base and top and opening into both, an induction tube depending from the top and opening into it, and terminating in an open mouth above the base, and a burner arranged at the said open mouth to induce and heat a current of air which enters the chambered top through such induction tube and thence divides into the other tubes and descends them into the base whence it escapes into the room, substantially as set forth.

3. The combined radiator and air heater herein described, comprising a base having openings in its edge through which theheated air is discharged into the room, a chamber-ed top, a number of tubes connecting the base and top and opening into both, an induction tube depending from the top and opening into it and terminating in an open mouth above the base, a curved plate arched over the tops of the several tubes within the chambered top, and a burner arranged at the said open mouth to induce and heat a current of air which enters the chambered top through such induction tube and thence divides into the other tubes and descends them into the base whence it escapes into the room, substantially as set forth.

Witness our hands to the foregoing specication this 27th day of March, 1893.
