SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 563,902, dated July 14, 1896.

Application filed March 23, 1895.

.To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WELLA. PERCY ANDER- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Carthage, in the county of Jasper and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Heater, ot' which the following is a specification. Y

This invention aims to provide a -heating attachment for that class of cylindrical stoves which have a centrally-disposed opening in their upper ends, and the object of the same is to economize fuel and provide an extended heat-radiating surface, whereby the maximum amount of available heat is utilized for heating purposes from a given amount of fuel.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a heating attachment which can be easily applied to any stove, and which will heat the room or apartment in which it is located, or a distant apartment, by means of a pipe or conveyer, to conduct the heat from the attachment to the said apartment, and which, at the same time, will temper or render the air humid to a certain degree, thereby obviating the injurious consequences result ing from breathing hot dry air, as usually de'- livered by heating-drums and similar attachments.

The improvement consists, essentially, of the novel features and the peculiar construction and combination of the parts Which hereinafter Will be more fully described, and set fort-h in the claims, and Which are shown in the drawings hereto attached, in Which- Figure 1 is a front elevation, in perspective, of a stove having the invention applied there to, parts being broken away to show more clearly the relative disposition ot' the elements comprising the attachment. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the heating attachment. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the Y attachment on the line X X of Fig. 2.

The numeral 1 represents a stove of ordinary construction of the cylinder type, and 2 the top thereof, having a cent-ral opening 3, through which the attachment is inserted when placing it in position.

The attachment comprises a heating-drum formed in tivo parts and 5, the latter being located Within Athe stove-body and supported in the opening` 3 by means of an outer flange 6, which overlaps the stove-top 2. The part Serial No. 542,947. tNo model.)

5 is cylindrical and closed at its lower end, the upper end being open to receive the depending ilange 7 of the said part. A cylinder S, closed at its upper end and open at its lower end, is secured to the bottom portion of the part 5, and is considerably smaller, both as regards length and diameter, than the part so as to leave an annular space between its sides and the sides of the part 5, and ample space above for the free circulation of the heated air. The bottom of the part 5 is open opposite the open end of the cylinder S, so that the heat from the stove has free access to all parts of the interior of the said cylinder 8. The upper part i has outer annular flanges 9 and 10 and elongated openings 11 in its sides placed at equal distances apart, and has a contracted tubular extension 12, rising vertically from its upper end for attachment therewith of a pipe 13, bymeans of which the heated air is conveyed to a distant room or apartment, either above the room in which the stove is located or to any convenient and desired point.

A sleeve 14 encircles the part l and is located between the annular ilanges 9 and 10, and has openings 15, corresponding in position and number With the openings 11 in the part a, so that on turning the sleeve 1i upon the part 4 the openings 1l and 15 may be caused to register, thereby permitting theheat to escape into the room in which the stove is located,'or the said sleeve may be turned so as to bring the solid portions between the openings 15 opposite the openings 11, so as to close the latter, thereby confining the heat Within the drum or heater. This sleeve 14 is operated by means of a suitably-disposed handle 1G. A damper 17 is located Within the tubular extension 1Q and is adapted to be operated by means of a handle 1S. On closing the damper 17 the heat from the attachment is eut off from the pipe 13, and when the same is open the heat Will pass into the pipe 13, thence to the point of discharge. By a proper adjustment of the damper 17 and the sleeve 14 an equal amount of heat can be sent through the pipe 13 and into the room in which the stove is located, or by opening the damper 17 and closing the openings 11 all the heat will be sent through the pipe 13 to the required room or apartment to be heated. 1f

it is not desired to send any heat through the' pipe 13, but deliver the'same into the apart-I ment in which the stove is located, the sleeve 14 is turned so as to fully disclose the openings 11, thereby permitting the escape of all the heat from the attachment into the room in which the stove is placed.

In the manufacture of the attachment itis proposed to construct the several parts from sheet metal. Hence the appliance is light, cheap, and can be easily and conveniently handled, and when not required can bc re moved from the stove and laid aside until needed. An opening 19 is formed in the side of the part 5, near its lower end, and is designed to receive a lateral pipe 20, which passes through a corresponding opening in the side of the stove. The inner end of the pipe 2O is threaded and clamp-nuts 21 are mounted thereon, and when the attachment is in proper position that portion of the part 5 bordering` upon the opening` 19 is clamped between the parts 21, thereby providing a close joint. This pipe 2O supplies pure fresh air to the heater, and may extend to any desired point, so as to receive a supply of pure air and convey the same to the heating attachment. A valve 22 is located in the pipe 20 to control and regulate the passage of the air through the pipe 20. It will be understood that the heater is placed in position by lowering the part 5 through the opening 3 in the stove-top, being supported therein by the outer iiange G in the manner set forth. The pipe 2O is passed through the opening in the stove-body and the opening 19, and is secured in place by the clamp-nuts 21, as will be readily understood.

A suitable vessel or cup 23 is placed upon the upper end of the cylinder S and is supplied with water, which is gradually evaporated by the passage of the air through the drum, thereby inoistening the said air and rendering it fit for respiration without the injurious results attendant upon breathing dry hot air.

The heating attachment is designed for gencral application. Hence in providing the same applied to all kinds of heating-stoves, round and square, except self-feeders, and that the smoke will be carried off to the chimney in the usual manner.

I-Iaving thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is-v 1. The herein shown and described drum to be removably iitted in an opening in the top of an ordinary heating-stove, the same having an outer supporting-ange near its upper end and having a tubular extension or inner cylinder rising vertically from its bottom and providing an annular space between the opposing sides of the said cylinder and drum, an annular damper fitted upon the upper portion of the drum and provided with a series of openings at intervals in its circumferential length to register with corresponding openings in the sides of the drum, a tubular extension rising from the upper closed end of the drum and provided with a damper, and an air-supplying pipe communicating with the lower portion of the space surrounding the aforesaid cylinder,.substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination with a heating-stove having an openin gin its top,of a heating-drum adapted to be removably supported within the said opening, and comprising a lower cylindrical part having an inner cylinder formed with a surrounding space and closed at its upper end to form a support for a vessel containing water, and having its lower end open, an upper part detachably connected with the lower part and having upper and lower annular iian ges and openings in its sides intermediate of the flanges, and having a tubular extension rising vertically from its upper closed end, a damper fitted in the said tubular extension, a sleeve encircling the upper part and provided with openings corresponding with the openings in the .sides of the said upper part, and an air-supplying pipe detachably connected with the lower portion of the heating-drum and communicating with the space surrrounding the inner cylinder thereof, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

IVELLA PERCY ANDERSON.
