ATTACHMENT FOR RADIATORS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 25, 1908.
Patented May 2 1, 1910.
Serial No. 440,220.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VILLIAM H. DRAKE, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Hackettstown, in the county of lVarren and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for'Radiators; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to an improved attachment for radiators, which permits either the whole radiator to be heated, or only a part thereof, according to the severity of the weather. In mild weather it is economy to use only part of the radiator, since the use of the whole will cause too high a temperature.
The invention comprises an air outlet for venting the radiator, the air outlet having means for drawing the air from the end of the radiator, or from a point intern'iediate of the radiator ends.
A further object of the invention is to au toinatically close one venting passage when the other is opened, and vice versa.
An indicator for pointing out whether the attachment is set for heating all, or only a part of the radiator, is also a new feature of the invention.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a broken view of a radiator, showing my attachment in elevation. Fig. 2 is a section of the attachment with a modified form of handle. Fig. 3 is an end view of the attachment with indicating means thereon. Fig. 4 is an elevation, partly in section, of the same, and Fig. 5 is a detail of a stop wheel used in the indicator. Fig. 6 is a modified form of fitting.
Any form of radiator can be used, and the radiator may be placed either in a single or double pipe system. The radiator shown in Fig. 1 is connected to a single pipe system, and consists of sections 10, which are assembled to the desired number. On one end of the radiator is the valve 11. for controlling the admission of the heating medium. I place the improved attachment on I the opposite end when used in a single pipe fitting, and with the fitting shown in Fig. (3 when the radiator has a valve at each end.
The attachment comprises a body-portion 12, forming a chamber 13 therein, and hav- 1 ing a partition 14L separating the chamber 13 from the inside of the radiator, the screwthreaded ring 15, serving to secure the attachment to the end-section of the radiator, at the place usually occupied at present by a valve or a plug. The body portion of the attachment has suitable stu'tling-boxes 16 thereon, through which operate the valve stems 17 and 18, which can be operated by a key placed on their squared ends 20, and when turned are alternately seated and unseated from their respective valve seats 21 and 22, in the partition 14. One of the valve seats, 21, for instance, is to vent the whole radiator, to allow cold air to escape and steam to enter, the air escaping through the chamber 13, elbow 23, and any suitable kind of automatic air vent 24. The elbow 23 is mounted on the chamber 13, and can be turned so as to place the automatic valve 24 on either side of the radiator, according to the location of the surroundings. lVhen this valve seat is open, to vent the whole radiator, its stem, such as 17 is witl'idrawn therefrom, and the stem 18 is shut. It. the position of the valve stems is reversed and the seat 21 is shut and 22 is open, the air from part of the radiator is vented through a pipe 25, attached to the partition 14:, and having its outlet in the chamber 13, and its inlet placed at a point where the heating of the radiator is to stop in mild weather. The air will pass out of the pipe from the radiator, and then be vented from the chamber, as above described. The air, between the open end of the pipe 25 and the far end of the radiator, will act as a trap, and no steam will enter the radiator sections between the end of the pipe 25 and the body portion of the attachment.
When the valve stem for venting only a part of the radiator is open, the other must of course be shut, and to insure these alternate and opposite positions, I have devised the constructions shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, employing two meshing gears 26 and 27, adapted to have a rotative and also a sliding relation, one closing when the other opens, and vice versa. The sliding relation makes it necessary for one of the gears, at
least, to have a broad face, so as to insure their meshing at their opposite limits of movement.
When it is desired to ascertain, or to indicate, which of the valve seats is uncovered,
in other words whether the radiator is adjusted to be wholly or partly heated, I may place the construction shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5, on the attachment. This embodies a handle 28, on one stem, having an arm 29 thereon, which is adapted to engage a stop, whereby it is permitted to rotate once, which, with a coarse thread on the stem, is sufficient to open and close the valve seats 21 and 22. The stop can be made in the shape of a pin 30, which would be engaged by one side of the lever 29, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, when the device was fixed to open the whole radiator to admit heat, and when rotated to the full line (the gear with the pin having of course rotated at the same time in the other direction) the radiator will be vented only from the end of the pipe 25. The stop can have a suitable legend or indication of the adjustment of the attachment, such as illustrated on the gear wheel 27, shown in Fig. 5. When the attachment is used on a two-pipe system, the outlet valve 81 can be placed at right angles on the fitting 82, and the attachment 12, placed on the end of the fitting 32.
This device will permit an economy of fuel in mild winter weather, and will not impair the efliciency of the radiator, or heating system, when the maximum heat is required. The device vents from the same automatic valve under its different adjustments, and is an attachment that can be cheaply manufactured.
The valve stems 17 and 18 are preferably screw-threaded, as is usual with valve stems in steam and Water valves, this screw-threaded portion, by the rotation of the stem, causing the seating and unseating of the valve on its seat. I wish, however, to be understood as not limiting myself to this form of mechanism for actuating the valve stem in its longitudinal movement, since any of the usual equivalents for this purpose may be employed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. An attachment for radiators comprising a body portion, a partition therein forming a chamber, a pair of valve seats in the partition, valve stems in line with the seats, valves on the stems and adapted to be seated on the valve seats, means on one stem for its manual manipulation, gears on the stems and adapted to cause their simultaneous rotation to insure the closing of one when the other opens and vice versa, means for connecting the valve seats to difierent parts of a radiator for venting it, and means for venting the chamber.
2. An attachment for radiators comprising a body-portion, a partition therein to form a chamber, a pair of valve seats in the partition, valve stems in line with the seat-s, valves on the stems and adapted to close the seats, means on one stem for its manual manipulation, means for causing the stems to operate simultaneously and in opposite directions, a stop for indicating the limits of movement and the disposition of the valves, and means for venting the chamber.
3. An attachment for radiators comprising a body-portion, a partition therein to form a chamber, a screw-threaded cylindrical portion to enter the end section of a radiator, valve seats on the partition, a pipe on one valve seat to extend part way into the radiator, a pair of valve stems with valves to be seated on the valve seats, gears connecting the stems and causing their simultaneous movement and insuring their movement in opposite directions longitudinally, a handle on one stem, a stop on the other gear to cause a stoppage in each direction after one revolution, a legend or inclication on the cooperating stopping means to indicate the disposition of the valves on their seats, and means for venting the chamber.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of June 1908.
