WILLIAM C. RIOHMAN, OF VERMILION, SOUTH DAKOTA.

AUXILIARY HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 1, 1908.

Application filed. June 18, 1908. Serial No. 439,127.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. RIOHMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vermilion, in the county of Clay and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Auxiliary I-Ieaters, of which the following is a specification My invention relates to an auxiliary heater or radiator, and consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described illustrated in the drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The object of my invention is to provide a movable auxiliary heater for use on coal, oil, gas, gasolene, or alcohol stoves, which shall be adapted to receive and radiate heat; also to provide an auxiliary radiating heater which shall have great radiating surface and which may be controlled by a proper damper.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a heater which may be used on a stove in the parlor or sitting-room, or be carried up and used in an upper room or cham her; and also to provide an auxiliary heater for people who cannot afford to have stationary heaters such as are generally sold and used, my heater being very cheap of manufacture on account of its simplicity of con struction.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my heater and radiator, as used in connection with stoves: Fig. 2, is a vertical section of my heater on line 38 of Fig. 3-showing a regulator; Fig. 3, is a horizontal section of my heater on line 9cx of Fig. 1showing the regulator or damper; Fig. 4, is a representation of my heater as used with a stove and in the same room, and Fig. 5 is a representation of my heater as used in connection with a stove but in an upper room of the house.

It is not essential that my heater shall be used on a stove in precisely the same manner as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, because I claim this heater in any of the ways it may be used.

Referring now to the drawings, in which similar letters and numbers indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views: A, represents the central tube which constitutes the main piece of the heater. This tube has eight openings 1, preferably of rectangular form cut in its upper and lower ends to receive the upper and lower ends of the ribbed hollow convolutions 2, which receive the heated air from the tube A, when the damper 3 is turned so as to close said tube. WVhile the heater is in its normal condition with the damper open, the heat will pass up through the tube A and out into the room, or may be used to heat the water in a vessel placed thereon. When the damper 3 is turned so as to cut off the ascent of the heated air, so that said air is forced to ascend through the ribbed convolutions 2, the heated air passing therethrough disseminates and distributes the heat contained in the air taken from the stove into the air in the room. The tube A may be made of any desired length and diameter and the ribbed convolutions be lengthened in like manner.

3 represents the regulator or damper and is securely fastened. to a rod provided with a handle and extends across the tube A.

B represents the oil stove which may be of any of the usual styles, and controlled by cock or valve.

C shows the oil tank for containing and supplying oil or other fuel, having the usual feed cook or valve.

D is an ordinary coal stove and E the pipe extending therefrom to the chimney.

In Fig. 5 the heater is shown on pipe E, but not in the same room with the stove, being in fact in the room above.

F is the intervening floor.

Several heaters may be used on one pipe in the same room with the stove or in several rooms, by merely removing sections of the stove pipe to accommodate said heater.

This auxiliary heater may be used by placing the same on the top of the stove, or, if desired, within one of the top openings, the lid being removed.

Having fully described myinvention and the manner of using the same, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

As an article of manufacture, an auxiliary heater, adapted to be applied to a stove or other heater, said. auxiliary heater comprising a cylinder or tube, open at its ends, and

In testimony whereof I have affixed my a series of separate chambers arranged signature, 1n presence of tWo wltnesses.

around said tube, said chambers being spaced apart and eXtendin lon itudinally of the tube and communicating therewith WILLIAM RIOHMAN' 5 at both ends, and a damper mounted in said Witnesses:

tube between the opposite ends of said. cham- PETER WV. PETERSON,

bers, substantially as described. LYMAN F. HARRIs.
