Specification of Letters Patent.

RADIATOR.

Patented Aug. 17, 1920.

Application filed April 22, 1916, Serial No. 92,889: Renewed January 13, 1920. Serial No. 351,255.

To all whom it may concern:

Be'it known that I, JAMES M. CAMMAGK, a citizen of" the United States and resident of Brooklyn, in the county of kings and State of New York, have invented-certain new and useful-Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to' steam radiators and more especially to gas fired multiple section radiators comprising a burner beneath the sections and sectional housings inclosing the burner and suspended fromand beneath the same so they can be removed separately for cleaning, and removable end plates for a means of access to clean the interior of the housings without removing the latter, the whole to be carried by the end sections; to-

' gether with a filling cup which limits the amount of water that can be poured into the radiator for conversion to steam, as will be more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the claims and llustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein;

Figure 1 is a side View of the improved radiator.

Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a view of the other end with the supply pipes.

Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view through the front end of the radiator.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of one of the housing sections.

Fig. 6 is an elevation of the same.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the filling cup.

Fig. 8 is a side view of the same.

In the construction of gas fired radiators where extensions are made to the radiator sections to protect the flame, it is often necessary to gain access to the burner or to remove one or more sections separately to clean within the housing, and in the present 1nvention the removal of a section of the housing is dispensed with by providing end plates which may be removed to clean the burner or make repairs without disturbing the balance of the heater.

The radiator sections 10 are of the usual type and one of the end or leg sections has a blow-ofl' 11 to guard against abnormal steam pressure and consequent damage which might result therefrom.

By referring to Figs. 7 and 8 the filling cup will be seen on a larger scale and that the threaded part 13 of the cup 1s horizontal always finds an outlet along the upper inner side of the cup.

lVhen' filling the radiator the overflow of water-always indicates that the limit of the water line has been reached and that no more is necessary. The plug 15 havingmeans on its outer side forturning the-same, is then inserted and the generation of steam is then proceeded with.

The gas for the heating of the water is introduced through suitable piping connected with the nipple 18 on the regulator 19 and through the pipe 20 and mixer 21 it entersthe burner 22 and escapes through the tips 23.

An undesirable feature in gas regulators is the liability of the flame to blow out and the consequent endangering of the lives of the oc cupants of the apartments in which the heater is located, and the danger of clothing and other articles catching fire from the unprotected flames and to overcome these objections housings 24 are hung from the ends of the sections 10 to protect the flames from. the burner 22 and to confine the heat therein. These housing sections are provided for each radiator section and from the outside appear to be a continuation of the section.

These housing sections are supported by cross pieces 25 connecting the legs 25 at the lower ends of the end radiator sections. In the drawings it will be seen that the housings 24 are similar in shape to the sectrons 10 and fit beneath the couplings 28 of the said section and for that reason the top edges 29 of the abutting flanges 30 are beveled.

The leg sections of the radiator are complete and without housing sections but have vertical sides to cooperate with the flanges of the next housings and are supported on the legs 25; each leg o. end sec-- tion has an outer opening adapted to be covered by plates 26 and 27 screwed to the edges of the openings and removable to clean the inside or to make repairs. The plate 26 has an opening for the gas pipe and a perforation 31 for lighting the burner described, or

and the housing sections also have perforations 32 for the entrance of air to supply the burner.

vVhen the radiator sections are assembled the supporting bar 24 is put in place and the housing sections may then be secured" to the under side of the bar and on the lower ends of the radiator sections, screws 33 passing through the housings and into the bar to supportthe former making it possible to separately remove the housings if desired.

It is obvious that the parts inaybeotherbar supported by the cross pieces, removable from the scope of the appended 7 plates covering the openings, aburner carried the bar, and separate perforated housing sections beneath the radiator sectionsand hung from-the bar. 7

2. "In gas fired radiators, the combination with end sections having openings, of legs for the end sections, couplings for the sections, a filling cup for one or; the leg sections on a level with the couplingand'having its lower inlet edge at the water line ofthe radiator and its upper inner edge above said water line, a burner carried by a bar connecting the leg sections, intermediate sectionsabove. the burner, and hous ings about the burner and supported by the connecting bar,
