Patented March e, 1906.
Application flied January 12, 1905. Serial No. 240,726.
To all whom it rarity concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD KLApsMAN, residing in Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented newand useful Improvements in Heaters for Thermal Cars, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to provide unimproved heater for a thermal car-that is, a heater adapted to warm a car in the winto; in those parts of the country where the temperature of the atmosphere goes down to such extent as to destroy or injure fruit, beer, eggs} or other products in a car during transportation where heat is not em loyed It is the common practice to use for t iis purpose those cars that in the summer are employed asrefrigeratingmars, which in the winter, being heated, are well adapted for winter transportation of such perishable products.
In thedrawin s, F igu re 1 is an elevation of my improved heater, parts being broken away to exhibit interior construction in section. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same heater shown in Fig. 1, the view being at a right an *1} to that of Fig. 1.' 3 is atop plan of llhc improved heater,- and Fig. 4 is a plan, )ar-tly insection, of the tank forming a part o l the heating device.
The improv .ing device is adapted to be suspended in a car in which it is used for heating, and for this purpose an open or basket frame is provided which forms a part of the heater as assembled for use. This open or basket frame consists of two metal straps-5 5, so bent and formed as to provide parallel horizontally-disposed bottom portions 6 6, upright side portions 7 7, and converging upper portions 8 8, and flat top portions 9 9. There are two of these straps located at a distance apart and parallel with each other, and near the bottom a bindingstrap .10 is employed, which passes around the straps 5 and is secured thereto in some suitable manner, conveniently b rivets. In this manner the straps 5 are hel in constant position re ative to each other and an open basket or cage is formed for holding the tank and burner of the heater. A deflector 11 is provided, the interior portion of which on the under side rests on the top portions 9 9 of the straps 5 and is held in lace anddetachably thereon by bein provi ed with holes 12 12, which receive t erethrough the upwardlyprog'ecting pins 13, fixed in the top portions 9 o the straps 5. Elflfhe margin 14 of the dcflector 11 is turned fdownwardly and lures outwardly, bein thereby adapted to deflect heat downward y and laterally. The de- Hector is provided with a central aperture for receivin g the chimney of the burner through it, as is hereinafter set forth. For suspending this basket-frame in a car the side portions 7 of each of the straps 5 is provided with a winged bracket 15,, which is riveted to the strap 5, and an evebolt 16 passes loosely through apertures therefor in the wings 17 of the -"acket. The strap in each instance is en iporled yieldingly on the evebolthy means 0 as ring 18, coiled about the stern of the eyebo t and restin at the bottom on a pin through the eyebo t above th e lower wing 1 7 the spring bearing upwardly against the upper wing 17. The eyebolts are each provided with a transverse stop-pin 19 to limit the movement of the bracket downwardly on the e eholt. For supporting these eyebolts and tile basket-frame thereon two han ers 20 '20 are rovided, constructed udvisa ly severally o a heavy wire or small rod bent centrally, forming a loop 21, adapted to take into a hook 22 or equivalent suspending device. The ends of each hanger 20 are separated from each other and are hooked into the eyebolts 16 at one end of the heater. In suspending the heater it is to be so placed that one end of the heater will he toward the front and the other toward the rear of the car. The hooks 22, on which a heater is suspended, are therefore arranged in line in the direction of the front and the rear of the car. By means of these thus doubly-linked and substantially parallel hangers the heater can swing or sway to a certain extent from front to rear and will still remain in horizontal position. This means for en porting the heater constantly in a horizonta position notwithstanding the forward and rearward shocks that are given to the car in starthw and stopping and otherwise during its employment as a means of transportation is not only well adapted to secure the safe use ofthe heater in a car, but is an ample provision for maintaining the heater in the desirable horizontal osition.
his heater is intended to use kerosene-oil or other suitable liquid for fuel, and for holding a supply of such oil a tank 23 is provided, which tank is advisably made of sheet metal of a size and form to fit loosely, out properly a portions 6 of the straps 5, and thereby support the tank thereon.
with an opening and a screw cap 25, throu h 'sage of air .om the 0 tion-chamber through the a bove t The tank is provided which opening when the cap is removed t e tank can be supplied with oil or other fluid fuel for combustion. o prevent the li uid fuel from swashing in the tank, the tan is advisably divided into a considerable number of small chambers by means of transverse partitions 26 in both directions, which partitions are provided between each two adjacent chambers with small apertures'27, one
'advisably located near the top and another near the bottom of the partition, so that the liquid fuel can flow free from one chamber to the other, while it is prevented from moving about in bulk or swashin in mass against one side of the tank. At t e center of the tank a tubular wick-holder is provided, consisting of an inner tube 28, secured at its lower end to the bottom of the tank and extending upwardly through the top of the tank to a distance above it, and is covered at the top with a circular disk 29, projecting at its peripheralinargin a little distance all around in a horizontal direction beyond the tube. About this central tube and at a little distance therefrom there is another tube 30, the upper end of which is somewhat below the top of the inner tube 28, which tube 30 extends down into the to outer tube is held in p ace by an encirclin and outWardly-flarin base-piece 31, whic rests on and is secure This wick-holder is adapted to receive thereon betweenthe inner tube 28 and the outer tube 30 a tubular wick of a common form, which wick extending down into the tank absorbs andcarries up the fluid fuel for consumption at and near the top of the wickholder or burner. The wick-holder or burner is of a form in common use and of itself does not involve novelty.
Directly above the tank 23 and secured to and sup orted on the tank there is a chimneypedestal consisting of a case 32, surrounding the wick-holder at a distance therefrom, the sides of whichpedestal are provided with holes for the admission of air throu h them. Also around this edestal and at a ittle distance therefromtii The space between this guar andt epedestal bemg 0 en at the IY p ermits of the astsi e into the com usertured'w ls of the pedestal 32. "s pedest and s11 rtedi'onit is a tubular metal chimney 34, which is advisablv hinged at .one side, as
whic vided with downwardly,
of the tank. This to the top of the tank.
ere is an u right uard 33..
s14,2ae
The top of Above the pedestal and around on the insi of the chimney there is 36, which is convenient] made in the form of an upright annular wall with a top flange,
' being placed against and secured to the chimne a combustion-guard forms an annular chamber 4 around insi e of the chimney at the bottom.
Th s chamber-space protects the lower part of the chimney somewhatfrom the heat of combustion and at the same time forms a comparatively narrow passage upwardly from the chamber ney, through which air directed to the locality of the combustion of the fuel in the wick on and around the tube 28. The chimney near its upper endis proa series of apertures 37 both above and below the plane of the deflector 11, through which heated air escapes from the of the pedestal into the chimpasses, being thereby chimney into the surrounding atmosphere. The chimney is closed at the top by a coneshaped cover '38, the apex of the cone being whereby the products of the combustion within the chimney are deflected outwardly through the apertures in the chim ney. It will be understood that by lifting the deflector 11 off its support and removing it from around the chimney the chimney can be tilted rearwardly of the hin e 35 to get at the wick-holder for renewing t e wick or trimming it. A handle 39 is aflixed to the chimney for this purpose. The tank 23 is also provided with handles 40 for conveniently lifting it. The rod 41, mounted on the ratchet-wheels a a fitting-head and is adapted for raising .or lowering the wick." Horizontal bars 42, one at each end, arefa'stened to the upright stra s 7 and serve as handles for carrying the iieater and at one sidcilas a rest for the chimney when itis tipped ba e What I claim as my invention is- 1. In a car-heater, porting frame, hangers in sets at the front and rear hin ed at their lower ends to the frame and ad apted to be hinged at their upper ends in the front and rear line and at a distance apart similar to their lower ends sevon and around the pivot pgde'stal, is provided with n an open heater suprrs erally to supports whereby the heater-frame will maintain its horizontal position when swu to front and rear.
