RADIATING ATTACHMENT FOR STOVEPIPES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 578,102, dated March 2, 1897.

Application filed November 14, 1895. Serial No. 568,928. (No model.)

My invention consists of a radiator attach` ment for a stovepipe provided with a jacket adapted to carry heated air into different compartments, the construction and operation of which will be hereinafter described.

It also consists of the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 represents a partial vertical section and partial side elevation of a radiating attachment forastovepipe embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents avertical section of a portion detached from Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section on line a; Fig. 2. Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of the register shown in Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a drum, which is connected at top and bottom with thesections B and C of a stovepipe, said drum having connected with the walls thereof the horizontal fiues D, which in the present case extend in series at a right angle to each other, each iiue being connected with the wall of the drum, so as to be open to the atmosphere, but not in communication with the interior of the drum.4

It will be seen that the iiuesD provide the drum with additional heating-surfaces, and they also heat the air contained in the same, the hot air being discharged into the apartment in which the drum is located, thus providing a convenient, inexpensive, and efficient radiator in'connection with the stovepipe. By having the iiues arranged at angles to each other, instead of in parallel linesone above the other, the products of combustion,

which would otherwise pass upward parallel to the sides of the flues, and thus escape into the upper pipe, are deflected to the rightand left and come in contact with the flues in the alternate rows, thereby heating the series of pipes and thus utilizing to a great extent the products of combustion, which otherwise simply heat the stovepipe. At the top of the drum is a flanged annulus E, the same being secured to the wall of the drum and receiving the pipe-section B.

The lower end of the drum has connected with it the flanged annulus F, which has an outer flange to receive the pipe-section O, a projecting shoulder F', against which the inner end of said pipe abuts, and an inner flange F2, by which provision the drum is firmly connected with said sections and sustained steady in position.

When it is desired to convey the heat to another apartment, say one above the drum, I employ the jacket G, which incloses the drum and portions of the stovepipe above the same and is open at bottom, so that air may be admitted into said jacket and be heated by said drum and commingle with the heat of the air radiated from the iiues D of the latter, so that a large body of heated air may be directed into said apartment, as will be shown in Fig. 4. Should it be desired to direct the heated air into the apartment containing said drum, I provide the jacket G with the register H, the eifect of which is evident.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A drum with air-fines therein, annuli connected with the ends of `said drum, pipes connected with said annuli, a jacket open at bottom surrounding said drum, and a portion of the pipe above the same, and a registerin said jacket.
