SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,378, dated January 17, 1905.

Application lilecl February 13, 1904, Serial No. 193,455.

To a/ZZ whom t may con/cern:

Be it known that I, GAETANO PALLADINO, a citizen of the United States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso, State ofTeXas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimneys; and I do hereby declare the following lto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to chimneys or smokestacks; and it has for its object to provide a construction'wherein there will be an efficient feeding of air into the chimney to insure complete combustion, so that there will be no smoke'emitted fromthe top of the chimney. A further object of the invention is to provide a chimney of such construction that it may be readily built of various heights to satisfy different specific conditions without affecting the principle of operation of the chimney. l

A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which may be embodied in either a single or a multiple flue chimney.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the invention embodied ina single-fine chimney.

the vchimney shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one of the sections of V'the chimney, showing a portion of the wing at one side thereof. Fig. 4 is atop plan view of the chimney shown in Fig. 1. -Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on line 5 5 of Fig. 1 just below the top corner. Fig. 6 is la view similar to Fig. 1, showing the invention embodied in a chimney having two lues. Fig. 7 is a vertical section through' thechimney shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the double chimney with thev cap removed, the position of the latter being indicated by dotted lines.

Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 5,inclusive,the chimney shown therein comprises a base which is rectangular, as illustrated, and which comber 11, set thereon, this base in practice being disposed directly upon the body of the chimney atthe level of the roof, the body Vof the chimney signifying that portion of the chimney that is below the level of the roof. The sections 10 and 11 have each a central rectangular opening 12 formed vertically therethrough, and through two of the opposite sides of the member 10 are formed rectangular openings 13,the section 11 being without openings in its sides. Upon the section 11 is placed a section 14 of reduced exterior diameter and through which is also a vertical vrectangular passage 12,with which communicate the openings 15 in two of the opposite sides of said sections, the openings 15 being directly above or in the same sidesof the completed chimney as are the openings 13. Upon the section 14 is disposed a section 16 of the same dimensions and similar in every Away to the section 14, with the .exception that it has no openings in its sides. Upon the section 16 is disposed a section 17, similar in every way to the section 14, and upon the section 17 is disposed a section 18, similar in every way to the sec? tion 16,'the chimney being continued to the proper height, with the exception of the head and cap, 'by adding alternately sections similar, respectively, to the sections 14 and 16.

yplate 22 there projects upwardly at an acute angle a baffleplate 24, which extends upwardly into the section 11, the base of the plate 24 being substantially midway of the height of the section 10. From the inner wall of the section 11, slightly above the bottom thereof and at the opposite side from the plate 24, there projects upwardly .at an acute angle a baiiie-plate 26, the upper edge of which is From the side of the passage in the plane of the top of the section 11. The succeeding sections of the chimney are provided with baffle- plates 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, and 34, respectively, which project alternately from opposite sides of the continuous flues 12, each of these baiiieplates rising from the bottom of its respective section at an acute angle to the latter and terminating in the plane of the top of its section. lith this arrangement ot' bathe-plates the smoke in rising through the chimney will havea Zig- Zag cou-rse and will pass iirst to one side and then to the other of the chimney. Furthermore, as the smoke passes upwardly through the chimney it serves to draw air into the chimney through the openings in the sides of the alternate sections, and this air in mixing with the smoke supplies suiiicient additional oxygen to insure complete combustion, so that no smoke is discharged from the top of the chimney. The uppermost one of the sections having a baiiieeplate is a section having openings through its sides, and upon this uppermost section is disposed the bottom section 35 of the head of the chimney, which said section has also a central vertical opening or Hue 12, which alines or registers with the similar openings in the sections below. The member 35 is rectangular in cross-section and is of greater diameter than the sections therebelow, so that it projects therebeyond, and upon this section 35 is disposed a section 36 of the same exterior dimensions, the shape of these members 35 and 36 in top plan being the shape of a cross of St. George, the member 36 comprising exterior walls,within which is a similar cross-shaped inclosure. From the sides and bottom of the overhanging portion of the member 35 there lead upwardly the passages 37, which communicate with the end portions of the inclosure of the member 36, so that smoke may pass from the member 36 downwardly and outwardly through these passages 37. Upon the member 36 is disposed a cap 38, beyond which at the sides thereof project the end portions of the cross-shaped inclosure of the mem ber 36, the cap 38 having an upwardly tapering opening 39 therethrough, the lower-end portion of which registers with or alines with the passages or fines 12, above referred to. It will thus be seen that smoke from the member 36 may pass also upwardly and outwardly through the lopenings 40 between the member 36 and the cap 38 and may pass also in part upwardly through the opening 39. The chimney thus has nine openings in the head thereof, through which the smoke may be discharged.

In a chimney having two lines, such as illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, and 8, the general arrangement is the same as that above illustrated, the sections that are built one upon another to form the chimney having the same heights as the corresponding sections in the single chimney, andthe same breadths, but having greater lengths, to permit of an intermediate transverse partition 5() in each section, which divides that section into two lilies .12 and 12. The baiiie-plates 23 and 23H are arranged one in each ofthe lines in the body ol the chimney 20' and project in the same manner as the baiiieplate 22, each ol the sections ol the chimney beginning with the lower basesection 10 and ending with the section directly below the lower head-section 35, having` in each of its fines a baiiie-plate corresponding exactly in position and in every other way with the baiiie-plate in the corresponding section of the single-fl ue chimney. Furthermore, each alternate section of these sections which have baiiie-plates therein, beginning with the section 10', has openings 13 in its end. The head of the chimney comprises a section 36', corresponding to the section 36, anda cap 38', corresponding to the cap 38, the sections 35 and 36 and the cap 38' having also cach a transverse partition 50, which divides its inclosure into two parts corresponding to and communicating with the divisions of the inelosures of the sections therebclow.

The passage of air into each fine ot' the double chimney above described is the same as into the single liuc of the single chimney, the head of the double chimney, however, having seven openings for passage of smoke from each of the iiues.

The bodyof the chimney shown in Fig. 2 is illustrated as having a fireplace 51 at the bottom thereof, from which leads thc graduallytapered iiue 52, which has a serpentine course upwardly through the body of the chimney and the upper end ot' which communicates with and is of the same diameter as the opening 12 in the lower member 10 of thc base of the chimney, meaning the base of that portion of the chimney which is above the 1ooi-linc. Through the body of the chimney or chimney-breast there is formed a vertical air-passage 53, which communicates with the under side of a laterally-directed portion of the line 52, and a second air-passage 54 communicates with the under portion o1 the iiuc 52 at the upper end of the latter, so that air may be fed to the iiue 52.

lV hat is claimed is- 1. A chimney having oppositely-disposed lateral openings at regular intervals ol: its length, baffle-plates disposed within the chimney between the openings at one side oi the chimney and arranged to direct the smoke laterally away from said openings and toward those at the opposite side of the chimney and a baliieplate disposed below each ot' the lastmentioned openings and arranged to direct the smoke away from them and toward the l'irstmentioned openings.

2. A chimney having lateral openings at intervals of its height, baiiie-plates disposed within the chimney between the openings and arranged to direct the smoke laterally away IOO from the openings, and additional baffle-plates opposite to the openings arranged to direct the smoke toward the openings.

3. A chimney comprising a body, a head and intermediate sections, the body having a serpentine flue extending upwardly therethrough, and said intermediate sections having a straight flue with which the serpentine iiue communicates` the body portion having an air-passage extending upwardly therethrough and communicating with the serpentine `flue through the under side of a-laterally-directed portion thereof. 1

4. A chimney comprising a body and upper sections thereabove adapted to project above a .roof-line, the body having a serpentine iue extending upwardly therethrough and said upper sections having a straight liuc with which the serpentine flue communicates, the

body, having an air-passage extending up- 2O through their sides and baiie-plates disposed. 25

to give to the smoke a serpentine course.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.- f
