RADIATOR.

Application mea August 22, 1921. semana. 494,202,

To all/wkomz't may concer/i.' i

Be it known that I, Pinnnn J. H. 'BER-V NARD, a subject ofthe Kinof Great Britf ain, residing at Montreal, lrovince of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description o-f the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it lappertains to make and use the same.

The resent invention rela-tes to new and useful improvements in radiators and has for its object the provision of a small hot water radiator which is applicable to the room of a building for the purpose of properly heating the same.

Another object of thefinvention is the provision of a radiator 'including one u or more casings through which hot watery is adapted to circulate, together with means for drawing air therethrough, heating the air and transmitting it into the room of a building or the like in which the radiator is located.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a radiator such as above referred to which will be comparatively simp-le and inexpensive to manufacture, reliable and efficient in use, and readily operated. l

With the above and other objects in view, the present invention resides in the novel features of construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of the present applica.- tion, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention, portions being broken away;

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the structure disclosed in Figure 1; f

Figure `3 is a transverse sectional view therethrough on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2;

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectionalview I therethrough on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, a heater is provided which may be used in substitution for the usual radiators now employed within the rooms of a building for heating purposes. In this form of the invention, a rectangular casing is shown at 40 and is pro-` vided with spacedv hollow partitions 41 which extend longitudinally of the casing 4() and form water compartments 42, as will be hereinafterexplained. The top andfbottom'of the casing 40` are perforated `as at'43 and 44 to permit the circulation of air'th'era y.

through.

is connected with the waterv compartments 42 at their upper ends through a main pi e 46 pro-vided with branch pipes 47, while t e said tank 45 vis likewise connected to the lower ends of the water compartments 42 by the lower pipe 48 and branch pipes 49. The pipe 48l is provided with anordinary form of faucet 50 by means of which watercan be drawn from the device. The water heater ycasing is shown at 51 and contains an electric heating element. It is connected by a pipe 52 and branch pipe 53 to the upper ends of thecompartments 42 formedvwithin the partitions 41, whilethe said casing is likewise connected tothe 'lower ends of these saidcompartments 42 by. al pipe `54 and branch `pipes 55. vIt will thus be -seen that the heated water circulatesfreely from y,the casing 51 through the several compartments 42 in a continuous flow of hot Water which heats the air sucked into the'casing` f f throlgh the openings 44 which lair is eX- pelle through the openings 43 at the upper end of the drum for heating the room in. which the device is applied. i

In this form of radiator, th'e circulation i sary requirements of such a device, and

sho-uldbe understood in r this connection, that various minor changes in the specific details of construction can be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims, without departing `from the spirit. or sacrificing any Hof the advantages of the inventio'n.

4Having thus fully-described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to-.pro-

tec-t by Letters Patent is f 1. The herein described radiator, com-v prising a rectangular casing, rectangular hollow members in said casing, means for y circulating water through `the rectangular y A water supply tank is shown at 45 and thereto.

hollow members for heating purposes and means for allowing circulation of air throughr the casing and between said hollow members to be heated bythe water containedtherein. h h

2. The herein described radiator comprising a rectangular casing, said easing having Water compartments located therein, said casing having air passages arranged therei inJ and a tank operatively .connected to` the water compartments for supplying Water 8. ,The herein described radiator, compris-v ing a rectangular casing, hollow: partitions within saidoasing, means for circulating .hot water therethrough, the topand b0t-y tom ends ofthe easing having perforations 1n hand. f
