RADIATOR.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 679,920, dated August 6, 1901.

Application filed January 2, 1901- Serial No. 41,759,. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH STADEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a fulland complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. V

This invention relates to radiators for use in connection with steam or hot-water heating systems; and the object thereof is to provide an improved radiator for this purpose which is simple in construction and operation and which is so formed as to provide a continuous inclined passage for the water or steam from the point where it enters the radiator to the pointwhere it leaves it, a further object being to provide a radiator in which no vents are necessary and in which the water of condensation when steam is used cannot collect at any point therein, but will continually flow therethrough, a further object being to provide a radiator in the use of which there will be no knocking 0r rapping or hammering, which constitutes one of the greatest objections to steam-radiators as now used; and with these and other objects in view the invention consists in a radiator constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a radiator constructed according to my invention, the base and top portion of the radiator not being shown, said figure being a side View of the radiator-coils only; Fig. 2, a plan view of one of the raidiator coils or loops which I employ; Fig. 3, an end view of Fig. 1 looking in the direction of the arrow 0,, and Fig. 4 a view of a coupling which I employ.

In the practice of my invention I provide a radiator which consists of a plurality of separate oblong loops 5, preferably of the form shown in Fig. 2, but the form of which may be varied to considerable extent, and these loops are divided atone end, as shown at 6, and one side thereof is raised and the other depressed. The depressed side of the top loop is coupled to the raised side of the next loop thereunder, as clearly shown at 7 in Figs. 1 and 3, and this connection is made by means of a double coupling 8, (shown in detail in Fig. 4,) and the raised side of the top loop, the end of which is shown at 9 in Figs. 1 and 3, is used for a connection with the steam or water supply pipe, While the depressed side of the bottom loop, which is shown at 10 in Figs. 1 and 3, is used as a connection for the discharge-pipe. By means of this construction it will be seen that I provide a radiator having a continuous downwardly-inclined passage from the point where the steam or water enters the radiator to the point where it leaves it, and by means of this construction I also avoid the knocking or hammering which frequently accompanies the use of steam-radiators and I also avoid the collection of water of condensation within the radiator, together with the use of vents. The coils or loops 5 may be of any desired shape'such as elliptical,circular,or oblongas shown in the drawings, and said loops or coils may be of any desired shape in cross-section.

In a radiator of this class it is necessary to provide means for supporting the opposite ends of the coils or loops and retaining them in their proper relative position, and for this purpose I form on said separate coils or loops, at each end thereof, inwardly-directed projections 12, provided with vertically-arranged sleeves 13, through which are passed rods or bolts 14, which may in practice be connected with the top plate and base of the radiator in the usual or any preferred manner, said top plate and base not being shown in the drawings. The sleeves 13 may be of any-desired length, andby means thereof the opposite ends of the loops or coils 5 may. be held in the proper relative position, and the radiator may also be made as strong and substantial as is necessary in articles of this class.

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

1.- A radiator consisting of a plurality of loops or coils arranged horizontally, said loops or coils being each divided at one end and one side thereof being raised, and the other depressed, the depressed side of one loop or coil being connected with the raised side of the loop or coil thereunder, substantially as shown andidescribedi 2. A radiator consisting of a pliirality' of loops orcoils arranged horizontally, said loops or coils being each divided at one end, and one side thereof being raised, and the other depressed, the depressed side of one loop or coil being connected with the raised side of the loop or coil thereunder, the raised side of the top coil or loop and the depressed side ofthe bottom coil or loop being adapted to serve as attachments fol-supply, and drain or exhaust pipes, substantially as described.

A radiator comprising a plurality of ob long loops or coils divided at one end and arranged horizontally, one side of each of said loops or coils being raised at the divided end and the other side depressed, and; the depressed side of one of said loops or coils be- ADOLPH STADEL;
