Patented June 5, 1906.

Application filed May 6, 1904- Serial No. 206,669.

To all whom, it may concern: v i Be it known that I, VICTOR Kos'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and Stateof Ill nois, have invented a new and useful Gas Heating Device, of which the following s. a specificatlon,

This invention relates to gas heating devices.

The object of the invention is to provide a construction of gas heating device which is simple, economical, and eificient. 1

' A further object of the invention is to provide agas heating device wherein theheat generated by the flame of agas-burner creates an eflicient draft of air, thereby not only supplying oxygen to support combustion, but also enabling the heated air to traverse I heat-radiating surfacesso arranged as to give 7 vice embodying the rinci 1 tion in the simplest orm t applied to a gas-burner; 7 View-showing thev heating devioeyof Fig. 1

off the heat therefrom 1n an efficient manner. Other objects ofthe invention will appear more fully hereinafter.-

" The invention consists, substantially, in the construction, combination, location, and'ar with an' additional hood; Fig. 3 is a view gas heating-stove,

t as shown in Fig. tat A similar to Fig; "2', showing a slightly-modified arrangement for: relatively supporting the hoods. Fig. 4 is a view-in centra section of a in Fig. 3.

'Thesame part is, designated by the same reference-sign wherever it occursthroughout I the severalviews.

u Reference-sign A designates a gas-burner tube which in the application of my 'inven- 'tion to a heating device is adapted to be supportedupon a gas-fixture, as shown in Figs, 1, 2, and'3, or when'the'device' is used as a stove,

may be of the ordinary construction of a' Bunsen burner, re-

* I 5 tubes n .ceiving the'gas-,at the base thereof through a v p wherein the hoed'Jisprovided with a spiderL', thenentralpart eftwhich-rests upon the. up-' nozzleB or a gas-supplyfipe B, the burner.

ings (indicated at C C) to admit air to be commingled within the tube A A. ply of gas into the tube A A may be regulated or controlled in any convenient-man ner-as, for instance, by means of the needlevalves D D. The tube A is provided with an end or tip E, which constitutes the burner proper, said burner being perforated, as indicated at F, at a point below the end of said burner proper, where ignition of the mixed air and gas takes place.

' G designates a fire or heater plate which is provided centrally thereof with a seat H, arranged to receive the endof the burner-tube A A, said end of the tube A A thereby form jlng'a' support for the wfire or-heater plate G.

Preferably this heater plate is somewhat dished and is. en ported in inverted relation upon the end oft e tube A A. The openings F in the burner,

ases occurs, lie slightly below the undersur- The supwhere the ignition of the aceuof the fire or heater plate G, so that the flame radiating from the openings F impinges against and spreads over the under or dished surface of the fire or heater plate G,

thereby heating the same, such flame s reading over the dished under surface of t e fire plate or burner to-the edges thereof and pass ing around and upwardly over the edges of saidplate. In this manner the fire or heating late becomes intensely heated, d awing esh air from below to support combustion,

the heated air ascending a ter spreading over the under-surface of the plate and around the peripheral edges of said plate;

- J desi nates'a hood in the form of a dish or tra'y an arranged in inverted relation to inclose thefire late or disk G, the lower edges of the hood J over and peripheral ynclose the fire or formin a etticoat to extend heaterplate G, the lower edge of the hood ex tending below the fire or heater plate. The

ascendlng heated air after passing around the peripheral edges of the fire or heater plate and upwardly is deflected by the hoodJ toward a central opening (indicated at K) through the base of said hood. The heated air and flame not only serve .to heat intensely the fire or plate G, but also inclosing hood J which through radiation and-reflection offthe heat servesato heat u mosphere.1 The hoodil may be supported in any suitable oriconvenient manner; 1 In Fig; 1 Ihave shown one arrangement the surrounding at-s 'ito ' In Fig. 3 I have shown a slightlyanodified arrangement embraced within the s nt and scope of my invention wherein the ioodJ is supported by arms the openings (1.

' being open ported by bolts N, connected at suitable points around the periphery of the fire or heater plate G and suitably bolted or otherwise secured to the inner surface shown as app ied to a stove) the supporting leg 0 serves to support the hood J.

In Figs. 2, 3, and 4 I have shown an outer hood P, similar in shape to the hood J and similarly arranged in inverted position over said hood J, the lower rim of said outer hood P forming a petticoat' to extend below the lower edge or rim of outer hood I may be supported in any convenient manner -as, for instance, by means of a spider Q, similar to the spider l.) and through which the bolt M passes, as shown in Fig. 2, or, if desired, the outer hood P may be sup- This outer hood serves the purpose of ornamentation and also to increase the draft, inasmuch as the inclosing petticoat formed thereby extends below the petticoat of inner hood J, and

means for creating a draft of air to the heating plate or disk G and also serves as an additional means for'radiating and reflecting the heat generated. Where the heating device is employed. in the form of a stove, as shown in Fig. 4, I arrange the-burner-tube A to project throdgh funnels A B the funnel B being arran ed to inclose a sleeve G which controls the air-opening C at the lower end of the burner-tube A, thereby forming a draftfunnel for the air which is supplied for mixture with the gas. through The funnel A is much larger than funnel B and incloses the same and also the burner-tube A, said funnel A at its upper contracted end at a point immediately beneath the burner E, and said funnel is open at its enlarged lower end, thereby forming a flue through which air is drawn to supply the necessary oxygen to maintain combustion at the burner, and the air thus supplied to the burner becoming heated spreads out around the disk-shaped heating-plate G, rising over theperipheral edge of said plate and being inwardly deflected through the central opening F- of hood J and serves not only to heat the fire-plate, but also the inner hood J, as well as. the outer hood P, said outer hood being similarly provided with a central opening at D centrally of the base tl'icreof.

If desired, I may support an inclosing sleeve It in any suitable or convenient manner at a point below the burner and fire-plate of the hood J, and in Fi 4 (wherein my invention 1s the inner hoodJ. This I R from the inner hood P..

therefore serves as an additional and through which the sleeve flue funnel A H extends. In practice the outer surface of the sleeve may be polished as may also be the lower portion F of the draft or flue-funnel A for the purpose of reflecting therefrom'the heat impinging thereon by reflection or radiation from the fire-plate G or the inclosing hoods J and P, and,

and portion F may be suitably shaped or curved for ornamental purposes and also to secure the desireddirection of reflection of the heat from the surfaces thereof. Iri addition to performing the function of a heat-refleeting surface the sleeve E may-be of sonicwhat conical shape, the smaller or contracted end being presented upwardly, ing an additional flue for creating an airdraft to the point where combustion-occurs at the burner E. l

- It will be observed that the simplest form of my invention (shown in Fig. 1) enters into the construction of each of the'other forms if desired, said sleeve E thereby formv shown as practical embodiments of the ini vention, other-parts make up the complete devices.

From the foregoing description it ,will be seen that I provide an exceedingly simple and efficient construction of-heating device, and I have found in practice that a heating deviceembodying the principlesof my in-. vention attains a high degree of efficiency not only in heat generation, but the economical use of gas employed.

Having'now set forth the object and nature of myinvention and various constructions embodying the principles thereof and being merely added to loo having described such constructions, their purposes, functions, and modes of. operation, what I claim as new and usefuland of my; own invention, and desire to secure by'Let ters Patent, is a 1.
