SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 760,226, 'dated May Application ne@ Jtnuary1a19o4. serai No. 189,741. cro masi.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern! Be it known that I, BERNARD I. MAHoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Sanborn, in the county of OBrien and State of Iowa, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a speciiication.

rlhe object of my invention is to provide an improved water and `air heating attachment for stovepipes, the same being in practice applied tothe pipe at any desired point and generally in a room or apartment separate from that in which the stove or furnace is located. The attachment utilizes the heat derived from the products of combustion passing through the pipe and is adapted to contain water, which may be drawn oli for any.

desired purpose and at the same time radiates heat into the room or apartment.

The details of construction, arrangement, and combination of parts are as hereinafter described, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, in whichw j Figure l is a central vertical section of the heater in perspective. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section onthe line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the several parts of the heater disassociated. Fig. 4 is a vertical section oi' the lower `orbase portion of the heater. Fig. 5 is a similar section of the top rim of the heater. Fig. 6 is an enlarged cross-section of one of the panels or side,

plates of the heater.

As shown in Fig. l, the heater proper is supported by legs or brackets (t, which may be secured to the base portion A in any approved manner. The body or main portion B of the heater is a cylinder, having a lat top and a conical bottom and a series of lateral projections Upon such body portion is applied the top rim C, and a cover D completes the heater. The base portion A and the cap or cover D are provided. with central tubular extensions a' and d, respectively, which are adapted to be connected with .and form practically part or' the stovepipe. rlhe cover D has a pendent flange, which when the cover is in place lits within the annular rim C, as shown in Fig. 1.A As shown in Fig. 5, the lower edge of the. rim .C is constructed with an annular socket c, the same `being formed by bending up the lower edge oi' the sheetmetal and forming a reversed curva-s0 that in cross-section it approximates an S shape. The socket c servesto receive .thetop flanges Z2 of the body portion or water-holder B, for, as shown in Figs. l and 2, each oneof the lateral projections ot1 the water-holder has flanges at top and bottom Yand also ony the sides, the side flangesbeing marked b2. 4As 60 will be understood by reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the separation oi the projecting portionsby provides spaces throughwhich the products of combustion pass upward and converge `to the tubular portion dof the cap B.` Forfclos 6 5 ing these spaces on the outer sidelprovide a' series of elongated rectangular panels '53: The same are shown in iace view and reversed a.; in Fig. 3 and in cross section .F-ig. 6. Each panel l is provided with revdrsed curves on the sides, which 'form' sockets L?, adapted tu receive the flanges b2 of the water-heaterFm` The panels are made of such length that their.` t

upper ends project and constitute virtually'y so` many flanges adapted toenter the sockets cof. the rim C in the same manner as the top ilanges of thewater-heater B enters the socketsci. It is apparent that the panels 215 are inserted; in place by sliding them endwise from the top down or from the bottom upward, .and that 30 when in place they form a practicallysmooth continuation of the outer side ofthe waterheater B. As shown in Fig. 4, the base portion A is formed with a top socket c2 in the.V same manner as the lower edge of the rim C.. S5 The same is also plainly indicated in Figs. l and 2. This socket a2 receives the lower flanges ZX of4 the water-heater and the lower ends of the panels b2, as will be readily understood. Thus in settingup my improved heater 9G the water-holder B is lirst set in place upon the base A, its anges entering the socket a, as plainly indicated in the drawings. 1f the y panels b3 have been previously set in place on the water-heater, then the lower edges ot' the 95 panels will enter the socket a2 at the same time as the flanges Vof the water-holder; but it `will be understood that the panels b2 may be inserted in place after the water-holder B has been set on the base A. Either mode of manipulation is practicable. The next step is to place the rim C on the water-holder B, so that its socket c receives the top iianges b' of the water-holder and the ends or' the panels b3. In order to secure all these parts A, B, and C iirmly together, I employ tie-rods E, (see Figs. l and 2,) the same being engaged at their upper ends with perforated brackets c and passing down through the bottom oi' the base A, where they will be provided with nuts for tightening them to the required degree. It is apparent that by removing the nuts all the parts A, B, and C may be readily detached from each other, if required, for the purpose of cleaning or repairing the heater. The cover D is held in place solely by friction with the rim C, in which its pendent iiange is inserted. The cover is thus adapted to be readily detached for the purpose of cleaning the interior of the heater or, in other words, brushing off any soot that may have accumulated thereon. The cover is provided at d with a removable cap, which covers a tubular passage that communicates with .the water-passage b of the water-holder B in such manner that water poured therein will fill the holder. In other words, the body or cylindrical portion of the heater B has a series of lateral holes b5, by which communication is established with the lateral chambers formed by the projecting parts b. The bodyof the waterholder B is, however, cut away at the top, as shown at b, so that water entering the passage b may enter the large central chamber as well as the small lateral one b. A spigot 57 is provided for drawing oi water from the holder B, the same being applied at the lower end of one of the lateral chambers b. rlhe bottom portion of the water-holder bs is constructed as a cone, the apex ofthe same being near the center of the opening in the base A. This construction not only provides a larger heating-surface than would be obtained if the bottom of the water-holder were horizontal or fiat, but also serves to divert the entering currentof products of combustion to the several vertical passages or fines formed between the lateral chambers b.

In practice the panels b3 may be made of burnished tin or brass or of any other material presenting a different appearance from the body of the heater, whereby the ornamental eect will be enhanced.

As thus constructed my improved attachment for stoves or other heating-pipes is ornamental in appearance and highly eiiicient in use, since it serves both as an air-heater and a water-heater which is independent of waterpressure and to which water may be readily supplied when required.

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

1. The improved heater comprising a base portion having a top socket, atop rim having a bottom socket, -and the intermediate body portion formed as a water-heater, the same comprising an inner cylinder having a series of lateral projections serving as water-chambers and provided with iianges which are adapted to enter the sockets oi' the base and top portions, substantially as described.

2. In a heater ofthe class specified, the combination with a base portion having a socket, a top portion having a similar socket, and a body portion having lateral projections provided with ianges adapted to enter the sockets of the top and bottom portions, and panels which close the spaces between the lateral chambers and also enter the said sockets, substantially as described.

3. In a heater of the class speciiied, the combination, with base and top portions having sockets, of the body or intermediate portion having laterally-projecting portions serving as chambers and provided with anges adapted to enter the sockets, substantially as described.

4. In a heater of the class specified, the combination, with the base and top portions provided with sockets, of the body or intermediate portion having a series of lateral projections forming chambers that communicate with the main chamber of the body, the said lateral chambers having end projections or anges adapted to enter the aforesaid sockets, substantially as described.

5. In a heater of the class specified, the cornbination, with a base portion and a body portion seated thereonand having a series of lateral projections that constitute lateral chambers, the same being provided with side iianges, of panels having lateral sockets adapted to receive said iianges, substantially as described.

6.' In a heater ofthe class specified, the combination, with the body portion having a series of lateral projections forming chambers and provided with lateral flanges, of panels having lateral sockets adapted to receive said ianges, the panels being thus slidable on the flanges so that they may be inserted and removed as occasion requires.

7. In a heater of the class specified, the combination, with asuitable base-support and a body portion having lateral projections forming chambers, of a series of panels which are detachably connected with the lateral chambers and serve to close the spaces between them, and thus form iiues or smoke-passages in the manner described.
