GAS' FlREPLACE-HEATER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,657, dated April 18, 1905.
Application ledDecember A13, 1904. Seria-1 No. 236,709.
To all whom, itmrt/ concern:
Be it known that I, QUIMBY S. BAcxUs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brandon, in the county of Rutland and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas Fireplace Heaters; and I do hereby declare the following to 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.
My present invention relates to gas-heating devices for offices and dwelling-houses, and more particularly to the class of the same gencrall y denominated fireplace-heaters, and is'an improvement therein for facilitating' the placing of the same in such rooms and the lire# places in the same.
In the d rawings I have shown the best form in which Ihave contemplated embodying my invention` and the same is disclosed in the fol- ``/iowing description and claims.
In the d rawings` Figure 1 is a front view of my improved gas-heater. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the regulatingvalves made longitudinally of the burner. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the same transversely of the burner.
In the drawings, A is the front or face of the heater.
B is the opening or recess to receive the gasburner and water-log.
The front plate A is provided at its sides and top with a rearwardly-extendinginclined flange a. This flange is provided with numerous openings, which are preferably made in the form of an ornamental open-Work to permit the colder air to enter at the bottom and to again return tothe room through the openings at the upper part of the sides and top. The flanges a and the face A form a shallow casing of dishing configuration. In the lower part of this casing is a shallow fireplace B, formed by the back b, which is connected to the face A and curves backward to or near a line connecting the rear edges of the flanges a and then extending downward to the bottom of the casing. and end pieces closing the ends of the space thus formed, leaving the hollow jambs a a', the spaces within which are conplate tance below the burner is a pan or receptacle E for holding water, and a covering-plate E is supported from the burner with its upper edge in close proximity to the flame of the burner, while its lower edge for the whole or part of its length extends downward into the water-pan E to convey heat to vaporize the water to supply the requisite moisture to the air of the room. Y
To the back of the face of the casing above the iireplace is placed a steam-radiator F, which is preferably constructed of thin metal and is of considerable extent vertically, but quite narrow, so as to present a broad surface from which the heat of the steam may be radiated. The water-log is connected at each end by a pipe extending outwardly through the ends of the fireplace-niche and then upwardly to the radiator F. One-of these pipes is see'n in Fig. 2 at f. l
It will thus be seen that all of the heating devices are placed within the space defined by the face-plate A and the Hanges a, thereby enabling the device to be placed before a fireplace like a ireboard, or in case there should be no fireplace in the room the device could be placed againstthe wall of the room to give the semblance of a fireplace without in any way disturbing or defacing the wall.
In the burners employed in this class of devices the gas is caused to enter the same in a jet, which draws in with it a sulflcient amount of air to secure complete combustion and to produce the blue flame which is found to give the greatest amount of heat. It is desirable that the supply of gas shall be under the control of the person using the heater, so that a greater or lesser Haine may be produced, according to the amount of heat de- IOO sired. The jet of gas is ordinarily controlled by a needle-valveg but where the amount of heat is regulated by manipulation of this valve alone a great waste of gas is often caused by the users turning the valve to admit an undue amount of gas, so that there is not perfect combustion of the same.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I have shown a valve construction by which I connect the gas-supply to the burner, which avoids the evils above noted and enables the valves to be adjusted to take up wear and prevent leakage. In Fig. 3, Gr is the needle-valve casing for furnishing the jet of gas to the mixing-chamber of the burner. g is the needle-valve, the stem of which is screw-threaded and works in a threaded aperture in the wall of the casing. The outside of the casing is provided with the recess g', in which is placed one or more rings of asbestos packing b. Upon the stem of the valve is mounted the nut or gland g2, having the tubular extension g3 to enter the recess g. In assembling the parts of the heater the needle-valve g is turned to give such a flow of gas as will give perfect combustion at the burner. The nut g2 is then turned to force the packing tightly in place. This prevents all leakage between the thread of the stem and the casing and acts also as a jam-nut to hold the valve from easy displacement. Should any leakage occur at any time by reason of the parts having been subjected to heat, further pressure by turning the nut g2 will make all tight again. The gas is admitted to the needle-valve chamber or casing through a valve or cock H. This valve or cock may be of ordinary construction; but I prefer to employ the form shown in Fig. 4L, in which the tapering valveplug H' is secured in place by asbestos ring packings L, the ring if loosely encircling the stem of the valve and the securing-cap H2. The gas is turned on or off by opening or closing the Valve H, and as the valve Gr always remains the saine perfect combustion is assured. rIhe partial turning off of the valve H will lessen the flame, but retain approximately the same admixture of air, as the jet of gas will have less velocity and will take with it into the mixing-chamber a less amount of air.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letl ters Patent, is-
1. A gas-heater comprising among its meinbers, a face-plate having at its top and sides inclined flanges extending rearwardly and forming with the face-plate a shallow casing, the rear edges of said flanges ending 1n the Vsame vertical plane, and heating devices located wliolly within said casing, whereby the flanges of the casing can be placed against a plain wall without defacing the same, substantially as describedc 2. In a radiating gasheater, the combination of a face-plate having inclined edges forming a shallow casing with a burner, a waterlog and steam-radiator, connected with said water-log located within said shallow casing,
substantially as described.
3. In a radiating gas-heater, the combination with a face-plate having inclined edges forming a shallow casing, of a gas-burner, a water-log, a steam-radiator connected with the water-log, the water-pan and means for conveying heat to the water in the pan, the whole located within the said shallow casing, substantially as described.
4. A fireplace-heater comprising among its members, a face-plate having at its top and sides rearwardly-extending inclined flanges forming a shallow casing, said casing being provided with a fireplace niche extending rearwardly to or near to the plane of the rear edges of said flanges, a heating device within said fireplace-niche, and a connected radiating device within said casing above said fireplaceniche, said heating devices being located forward of the vertical plane of the rear edges of the said anges of the casing, substantially as described.
5. A gas-heater comprising among its inem` Q. S. BACKUS.
