DISINFECTING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,540, dated May 29, 1894'. Application filed December '7, 1893. Serial No. 493,028- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I,.RUDOLPH ARNHOLD ROSENBLATT, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Disinfecting and Odor-Dispelling Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for disinfecting buildings and particularly for factories or slaughter-houses where the materials used or processes employed generate nauseating odors, the object of the invention being to provide means for impregnating the impure odors with others stronger but not unpleasiug, the whole being carried off and absorbed in the atmosphere.

The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a plan view of the apparatus projecting outward from the side of the building on which it is placed; Fig. 2 a vertical section through the same on the line 00-00.

My invention is constructed and operated substantially as follows:

From the side of the building I suspend a cylindrical body or chamber A, connecting therewith by means of pipes at, adjoining which are mounted the blowers B. Projecting upward from the cylinder A are flues b surrounded by the tar-kettles or receptacles 0. These fiues b and receptacles care each open at the top and provided with raised domes b and 0 respectively. At the top of the receptacles are also arranged ventilators d of any approved style or form. A steam-pipe e extends from the interior of the building to one of the receptacles c and enters through the upper side thereof. This pipe is loosely coiled several times around the flue b, then passes through the opposite side of the receptacle and across to the adjoining one, being coiled around the second flue in similar manner, afterward passing out and downward and entering the cylinder A, this end of the pipe being open.

The operation of the apparatus will be readily apparent. The receptacles are first filled through the doors or covers 0 with liquid tar, which is heated by contact with the steam-pipe e. The blowers B are then revolved rapidly by any convenient means or power, forcing a current of the impure air of the building through the pipes a into the cylinder A, where with the steam diffused from the pipe e it passes through the flues 12 into the car-receptacles c and commingles, and is thoroughly impregnated, with the strong odor generated from the boiling tar; and howso: ever impure and mal-odorous the air may have been before entering the cylinder it escapes through the ventilators and the domes of the receptacles free from all odor except the not unpleasant smell of tar.

The receptacles are each provided with outlet-pipes f for emptying the tar and cleaning the insides'of the receptacles. In order to prevent the tar from overflowing and clo ging the fines, I attach to the inside of the latter the over-flow pipes g through which any surplusage is carried off into the bottom of the cylinder A. The cylinder is also provided with a waste pipe h.

I do not confine myself to the use of the exact form and details of apparatus herein shown,nor to the use of tar only, as any similar substance or liquid possessing the requisite qualities may be employed in its stead. Nor do I limit myself to the use of two tarkettles or receptacles, fiues, 850., it being apparent that one, two, three or more may be used, as desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A disinfecting and odor-dispelling apparatus, comprising one or more blowers located immediately within the building containing the odor-impregnated air, one or more vessels of tar secured to the outside of the building and opening into the outer air, flues connecting the said vessels to the interior of the building, and steam connections from the said building to the said tar vessels, substantially as shown and described.

2. A disinfecting and odor-dispelling apparatus, comprisingachamber having a steamjet opening thereinto, flues connecting the steam chamber to one or more vessels of tar opening into the outer air, steam-pipes sur- IOO rounding the said vessels to heat the same, pipes connecting the steam-chamber with the odor-impregnated air, and one or more blowers located immediately within the building containing the odor-impregnated air, substantially as shown and described.

3. A disinfecting and odor-dispelling apparatus, consisting of a cylindrical chamber conmeeting with the odor-impregnated air,- one or more flues extending upward from the said chamber and surrounded by receptacles adapted to receive tar, a steam pipe entering the receptacles and coiled around the fiues and opening into the steam chamber, and one or more blowers adapted to force the impure air and the steam through the receptacles substantially as shown and described.

4. A disinfecting and odor-dispelling apparatus, consisting of a cylindrical chamber connecting with the odor-impregnated air, one or more fiues extending upward from the said chamber and surrounded by receptacles adapted to receive tar, the said flues and receptacles being each provided with a raised dome, a steam-pipe entering the said receptacles and coiled around the fiues, afterward opening into the steam chamber, and one or more blowers adapted to force the impure air through pipes into the steam chamber and through the receptacles, substantially as shown and described.

5. A disinfecting and odor-dispelling apparatus consisting of a cylindrical chamber adapted to be suspended from the outer wall of a building, pipes connecting it with the odor-impregnated air, one or more flues extending upward from the said chamber and provided with raised domes and with overflow pipes, tar-receptacles surrounding the said lines and provided With raised domes and ventilators at the top, a steam-pipe entering the said receptacles and coiled around the fiues, the said steam pipe also extending and opening into the steam chamber, and one or more blowers adapted to force the impure air through pipes into the steam chamber and through the receptacles, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 5th day of December, 1893.

I RUDOLPH ARNHOLI) ROSENBLATT.
