PORTABLE FIREPLACE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 1, 1909.
Application filed January 16, 1909. Serial No. 472,611.
1 State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Portable Fireplaces, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a portable fire place, the object of the invention being to provide a fire place which can be placed in any apartment and connected to the ordinary cylindrical flue by means of pipe, and yet give to the room the appearance of a fire place built into the chimney breast, and further the object of this invention is to provide a fire place which will not only heat the room in which it is placed by direct radiation, but
will also heat the room by hot air and purify the air taken from the room by sterilizing the same.
The invention further has for its object to provide hot air in connection with the direct radiation of heat from the fire place and fire box, which hot air may be carried by suitable pipes to other rooms than that in which the fire place is located.
The invention consists in a portable fire place such as described in the following specification and particularly as set forth in the claims.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved fire place and mantel. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.
Like characters refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
In the drawings, 5 is a fire box consisting of a back plate 6, preferably formed of corrugated iron, two side plates 7, 7, and a bottom plate 8. A grate 9 is preferably attached to the fire box or a step-grate may be used, if desired. A blower 10 is preferably supplied to regulate the draft on the fire place.
A flue chamber 11 is provided into which the fire box opens at its upper end at 12. Said flue chamber has a top 13, a back 14, a front 15 and a bottom 16 and extends entirely across the space between the two sides 7, 7 of the fire box, which sides are extended upwardly to the top 13. In the back 14 of the flue chamber is a cylindrical opening 17 adapted to receive a pipe 18, which pipe is adapted to be connected to or inserted in a chimney flue 19.
A hot air chamber 20 extends across the back and sides of the fire box 5, said hot air chamber having a back plate 21 and side plates 22, 22, the bottom plate 8 of the fire box being extended to close the bottom of the hot air chamber 20. The hot air chamber 20 is divided into two parts 20 and 20" by a vertical partition 23, which partition extends from the plate 16 to the plate 8 within the hot air chamber. Each of the hot air chambers 20 and 20 has an inlet opening 24 and an outlet opening 25 which may be opened or closed by means of a suitable register, and the air as it passes upwardly through the hot air chambers 20 and 20 is diverted in its course by means of baffle plates 20", 20.
A cold air supply is obtained from a cold air chamber 26 which extends across beneath the bottom of the fire box and has inlet openings 27, 27. These inlet openings are regulated by means of suitable doors or dampers 28. Other outlets from the hot air chambers 20 and 20 are provided at 29 and 30, respectively, these outlets being cylindrical and adapted to have a pipe attached. thereto, which pipes can be carried to other rooms than that in which the fire place itself is located.
A secondary hot air chamber 31 having a back wall 38 extends across the back of the primary hot air chamber 20 and forwardly outside both sides of said hot air chamber having side walls 32, 32.
A cold air chamber 33 located beneath the hot air chamber 20 and beneath the fire box 5 supplies fresh air to the secondary hot air chamber 3 1, said cold air chamber having inlet openings 34, 34 through which air from the room enters said cold air chamber and being divided from the cold air chamber 26 by a vertical partition 39. Outlet openings 35, 35 are provided, preferably near the top of the side portions 32, 32 of the secondary hot air chamber, and these outlet openings are provided with suitable registers or dampers to regulate the amount of hot air which may pass therethrough.
The portable fire place hereinbefore described is rendered ornamental by a sheet metal structure designed and formed to present the appearance of a mantel including columns or pilasters 36, 36 and a shelf 37, so that viewed from the front of the fire place, when the same is in position, said fire place presents the appearance of the ordinary fire place built into the breast of a chimney with a mantel surrounding the same, so that the device presents an ornamental appearance and is useful as a mantel, in addition to its usefulness as a heating medium or device, and, as hereinbefore set forth, the heat obtained is not only that which is derived from direct radiation from the fuel and the heated fire box, but also heat is derived from the hot air, so that a constant circulation of the air in the room is obtained, and said air, as it circulates through the heated chambers of the fire place, becomes sterilized and purilied.
In using my improved fire place the same is set in position with the pipe 18 projecting into the flue 19 and the same is set close against the wall, which can be done without danger of fire, on account of the two air chambers between the fire and the wall which form non-conductors of heat. Then the fire place has been thus set in position, it is used the same as though the iire place were set permanently in a chimney. The air enters through the inlet openings 27 into the cold air chamber 26, thence passes through the outlet openings 24 into the hot air chambers 20 and 20 and passes upwardly through said chambers, as indicated by the arrows a, and passes outwardly through the outlets or registers 25. The air for the secondary hot air chamber passes into the cold air chamber 33 through the inlets 34, thence said cold air passes upwardly into the hot air chamber 31 and through the side chambers 32, 32 thereof, as indicated by the arrows b, and outwardly through the registers or openings 35, 35. As the hot air asses upwardly through the hot air chamers 20 and 20 it is deflected from side to side by baffle plates 31, 31. 7
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to se cure is:
1. A portable fire place structure including a fire-box, said structure being provided with a primary hot air chamber extending across the back and both sides of said fire-box and provided with outlets leading out of the upper portion of said primary hot air chamber, said structure being provided with a secondary hot air chamber extending across the back and both sides of said primary hot air chamber, said structure being provided with outlets leading out of the upper portion of said secondary hot air chamber, said structure being further provided with two independent cold air chambers and still further provided with inlet flues leading into said cold air chambers and also being provided with outlet flues opening from one of said cold air chambers into said primary hot air chamber and from the other of said cold air ghambers into said secondary hot air cham- 2. A portable fire place having, in combination, a fire-box adapted to be connected to a chimney flue, walls surrounding said fire-box and forming together with walls of said fire-box a primary hot air chamber eX- tending across the back and both sides of said fire-box, said walls being provided with outlets leading out of the upper portion of said primary hot air chamber, other walls forming with walls of said primary hot air chamber a secondary hot air chamber eX- tending across the back and both sides of said primary hot air chamber, said walls provided with outlets leading out of the upper portion of said secondary hot air chamber, and walls forming with the bottom plate of said primary and hot air chambers and firebOX two independent cold air chambers beneath said fire-box, said walls having inlet fiues opening into said cold air chambers and outlet flues opening from one of said cold air chambers into said primary hot air chamber and from the other of said cold air chambers into said secondary hot air chamber.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- IIGSSBS.
