STEAM-RADIATOR.

Be it known all whom it may concern:

that I, SAMUEL Na r, a citizen of the United States, residat Bonham, in the county of Fannin ing and and useful Steam-Radiator, of which the 3 following is a specification.

- is the object 1 highly eflicient in. operation.

' for connection to the boiler 'The radiator which is the subject of the v invention is designed more particularly for use me locomotive cabto heat the same,

and also to serve as a foot warmer; and it of the invention to provide a radiator which can be readily placed at any convenient location in the cab, and which may be readily connected to the boiler; and, furthermore, to provide a radiator which is simple in construction and With these ob ects In view, the invention consists in a novel construction and arrange-- mentof parts to be hereinafter descmbed and claimed, reference being had to the ac-,

companying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figurel is a perspective view of a radiafor. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section thereof. Figs. 3 and 4' are lines 3-3 and 4-4; respectively, of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 5 denotes a return bend'coil which is fitted at its endswithsuitable couplings 6 which is to supply the heating .medimn. The coil is in- 'closed in a Hat rectangular sheet metal casing comprising a bottom 7, atop 8, side walls 9, and end walls 10 and 11,- respec-' tively. escape of the heat, the perforations 12 there-.

The top is perforated to permit the of being made through the apex of protuberance 13 with whichthe to is formed.

The side walls 9 and fenwall 10 are formed of a single strip of sheet metal which is ibent into the required form, and the connection between thesev walls, and the top and bottom of the casing is'made by inter-' locking lap seems as shown in Fig. 3. The end wall 11 is bent at its ends to overlap the side walls 9 forQa short distance as shown at 9, and the corresponding ends of the top and bottom. are extended to over- 14 extending horizontally from the top, and bottom of the wall 11. Bolts 15 passing Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 28, 1910. Serial No. 569,333.

State of'lexashave invented a newvertical sections on thesisting of a perforated top,

through the flanges and the over- Iatented Apr. 18, 1911.

lapping portions of -the top and bottom,

fasten the end wall in place, the bolts being w secured by nuts 16. By this means of vsecuring the end wall 11, the same is removable to permit the detachment of the coil for any purpose. The couplings 6 roject through openings 17 made in said we 1; To each end of the casing are secured feet 18 whereby the casing is secured to the floor or other place where it is to be positioned, the feet having perforations 19 to receive screws or other suitable means for fastening the casing in place. The feet which are secured to the end wall 11 are bent across the bottom flange 14, and the outer ends thereof are bent downwardly so as to extend flush with the bottom of the casing.

By the structure lwrciu described, a re.- diator is bad which is .without complicated parts, and the connection with the boiler can be readily made. I The protuberances 13 especially adapt the radiator for use as a foot warmer, theyservingito space the foot from the top of the casing.

Vhat is claimed is:

. Aradiator comprising a casing cona bottom, and side a'ndend ,Walls, one of bottom. and the top and bottom of the easing being extended to overlap said flanges, fastening means passing through the flanges and the overlapp ng portions of the top and bottom, and a heating coil inclosed in the casing.v

2. A radiator comprising sisting of a bottom, a per orated top, and side and. end walls, one of said end Walls overlapping the side walls, and having top and bottom horizontal flanges, the top and bottom of the casing being extended to overlap the said flanges, fastening means passing through thellanges and the overlapping portions of the top and bottom, and a heat mg coil inclosed 1n the casing.

in toslunouy 'that I claim the foregoing as my own,l, have hereto aili zed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
