Application filed tlctober 25, 1909.- Serial No. 524,432.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Pnntre F. Wumsomnone, a citizen of the United States, residing at University Place in the'county of Lanhlebraska, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Heatin Systems, of which the following is a speci cation.

The present invention relates to heating systems and has for its purpose to provide an arrangement to be installed with furnaces whereby to overcome the heating of cellars, and wherein quicker and more effective results are obtained in heating the The further purpose of my is to provide an apparatus of the typ tion which may be readily installed with furnaces now in use at comparatively small expense, and which in its complete or original installation 2'. e., with the furnace, may be done equally as well as in the systems of heating now employed. 7

Another advantage embodied in my improved heating apparatus is that a large volume of air for heating may be accelerated in its circulation by a smallerdraft of air, -which is but an alternative arrangement when only e'low fire is needed.

With the above urposes in view'the invention is described in full in the following specification and the points of novelty thereof set forth in the appended claim.

. The accompanying drawing shows the system in transversesectional view.

Referring to the figure in more detail, the character A designates a furnace of the usual type and which may be of the hot air or hot water kind. The hood D thereof is provided with a funnel shaped double top as clear-l shown. B are the outlet dues leading t erefrom which distribute the heated air to the several rooms, and the number of these outlet flues may be increased or diminished all according to the extent of the building to be heated. The lower member (3 of the double top dome is at its center. connected with a pipe E in precisel that manner shown. The due E enten 8 through the drum D and thence by anelbow is disposed downwardly to the door G of the cellar or other basement. 'At just that point where the due E reaches the floor of the cellar it communicates with a main or underground chamber H which serves as the duct or inlet for feeding the air to the flue E. Said chamber H is adapted to convey the cooler air from all of the rooms of the structure to be heated, and for the purpose is fitted with a flue J through which such air is directed. The chamber H also communicates with the interior of the hood or drum D of the furnace as shown at the places indicated by (1.

Within the pipe E, and preferably about midway of its length, there is a fan I which is adapted to be driven by a motor I or any other power, and has for its purpose to create the necessary flow of air through the pipes B, E, H and J.

a in qm fihfterktheiieated air leaves the furnace and sup lies tlhi'rooms it is thence conveyed by the pipe J to the main H. From the pipe H part of this air enters the furnace drum through the underground passageways a,

and the remainder passes through the flue E into the chamber formed by the funnel shaped double top of the hood D and here it is thorou hly commingled with the usual heated air rom the furnace issuing through the openings between the lower cover C and the outlet pipes'B, as will be clearly seen by reference to the figure.

There are several considerably important advantages resulting from the above described manner of heat and air circulation, viz: the heated air is partially cooled by being conveyed through the flue J and by reason of this cooling, and the fact that it is thence conveyed by the underground pipe H to the flue E and openings a, said circulating fluid acts, as a means for cooling the cellar, and since the air of all the rooms is kept in constant circulation and the heat renewed in each circulation there naturally results .a finer degree of heating in the rooms, and as a consequence of this latter condition there is considerable economy from the fuel saving standpoint.

What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patents is:

A heating system comprising a furnace having a hood rovided with a double top of funnel shaped sections, said sections roviding a chamber between them, outlet ues leading from said chamber and the space beneath the lower of said funnel shaped sections, a flue communicating with said 1 accelerating the circulation of the air heated chamber and extending to the outside of the by the furnace. 10 hood, a flue located beneath the base of the In testimony whereof I afiix my signature, furnace and communicating with said out- 1 in presence of two witnesses.
