' marmo SYSTEM.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT SALMON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cassopolis, Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Heating Systems, of which t e following is a specification. This invention relates to improvements in heating systems.

My linproved heating system is especially designed for heating factory and other large buildings, particularly those having concrete floors or floors having a concrete base,

althoughit is adapted for use in'various other relations.

The main objectf'of my invention is to rovide an improved eating system for arge rooms or buildings, -whereby' the heat is evenly distributed throughout the same and at the same time the heatmg Aapparatus is out of the way, that is, it o`c'c pies no space in the room heated.

Further objects, and obj ctsjirelatin to structural details, will definitelyappear rom the detailed description to follow I accomplish the objects of luy-invention by the devices and means describedin the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined pointl ed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of invention is clearly illustrated in the accom-v panying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure 1 is a detail horizontal section of a structure embodying my invention taken on a line corresponding to line -'-1 of Fig. 2 the pipes and valves therefor being shown in u l llnes, the parts beinfr shown without reward to proportion, and in a. more or less (iagraminatlc manner. Fic'. 2 is a detail vertical section taken on azline corresponding to line 2 2 of Fi 1. Fig. 3 is a detail plan showing a mod' edlconstruction.

In the drawings the sectional views are' taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of section lines, and similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

` Referring to`the drawing, 1 represents'the concrete loorv of a building. At opposite ends or sides of the building I form troughlike chambers 2 and 3 in the iloor. In these chambers Iarran'ge the headers 4 and 5, the header 4 in the structure illustrated being the delivery header and the header 5 the discharge header. Theheating mediumis introduced to Specceton vof Letters Patent.

which are embedded in the concrete'fiooring.,

Those l preferably embed ata de th of from apart. Their-arrangement in the floor, however, may be ver-v greatly varied and desirable results still be secured. r

Each ipe or conduit 7 I preferebly'provide wit delivery of the heatin medium therethrough may be controlled. U hen hot en* is used as a heating medium, I provide a blower 14,'so that it 1s delivered through the conduits under. ressure- 1 Whi e I have illustrated in the accompanying drawing metal pipes which are adapted for the use of either hot air, steam or not water as a heating medium, it is to be understood that it is desirable to use larger pipes or conduits in systems designed for hot air than for those designed for the use of steam or hot water.

In hot air systems tile, auch as the ordinary drain tile, may be used to form the oo nduits, or the conduits may be otherwise formed by the use of cores, which are afterwards removed.

The header 5 is providedwith a discharge pipe 11, the'pipe being provided with a valve a valve 8st each end so that the f rammed sepjeaieos.

heating .medium may discharge through e pipe l1 to he further utilized by conducting 1t' to a *door above or.

when used in factories, like.

The chambers 2 with covers 13, which are pre erably ittranged ilush with 1he surface of the floor, so that there. is no obstruction whatever in the to a dry lciln or the be conducted fromthe are preferabl provided room. The discharge header is preferably provided with connections 9 for delivering through the cover 13 into the room.

Vhen the system is lada ted for the use of steam as a heating me ium, the steammay be delivered into the-room and the system thus adapted to serve as a fire protection. The discharges 9 vare-provided 'with valves, as 10, for controlli the' same.

In the modied construction shown in Fig. 3 the conduits 'I are in the pipes with return bends therein, so that the heating mediumA is caused ,to pass black and forth, thereby lengthening its pass fre through the system,

This of course would be especially desirable .where steam or het water is used or `where the y throughout the rooin to be heated and the heating apparatus is entirely out of the. way.

By the arrangement of the valves as I have bers formed therein; piiesor conduits ein bedded in said concrete oor or oase and projecting into said header chambeis; headers' for said pipes or conduits; valves for the ends of said conduits 'ifoi cutting off their connection to said headers, said valves being arranged in said header-chambers; a supply A illustrated, the heat can be very nicely reguconnection for the deliiiery header and a de `lated by regulating quantity of the heating livery connection for tire discharge header, 'rnediuni passed through the system.
