Application filed May 15,

[0 all 10. 10221, it may coaccwt:

Be it known. that T, Gnonon ll. Mown, a citizen of the United States, re 'ding at ll atertown, in the county Jefferson and State oi? New York, have invented certain new and, useful linprovements in. Heaters; and l do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact (lQS-Cll'PJlOfl of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures or reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The objectof this invention is to provide a novel construction of a heater, adapted particularly for use as a garage heater, and embodying a coal magazine, or hopper, and a deflector beneath the outlet of said hopper, and thus in the path of movement of the coal issuing from said magazine and serving to deflect, or spread, the coal on the portions of the grate on each side of said deflector. The spreader, or deflector, prevents the coal from piling up on the center of the grate and permits the lire being run on either side, or both sides, of the grate at the option of the operator, so that, in mild weather, a steady fire may be maintained by using one side only of the grate.

A further object is to provide a hollow deflector of the character mentioned and serving the purposes indicated, which is filled by water to be heated thereby.

A further object is to provide a heater of the character described, which is provided with flues disposed on each side of the coal magazine and conducting the products of combustion i'rom the combustion chambers independently to the fines.

A. further object is to provide a compact and peculiar organization of heater, so tl'iat the heater, as an entirety, will be relatively small, thus occupying minimum space and yet affording a maximum of heat.

With these objects in view, the invention resides in the peculiar construction, combination and arrangement of parts of a heater, as will be more fully hereinafter described in the specification, summed up in the claim, and illustrated in the drawings.

The invention is clearly disclosed in the accompanying drawings, showing an exemplary form of embodiment of the underlying rinciples thereof, in which like reference 1929. Serial N0. 381,625.

characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. Briefly described:

Figure 1 is view in front elevation of the heater, a portion oi? the front well thereof being brolren away to disclose the interior construction, and

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation thereof, part of the side wall being broken away to disclose the interior construction.

Referring now in detail to the drawings:

1 designates the base of the heater, which, as shown, is a hollow shell, the interior thereof constituting the ash pit 2. Said base is provided with. the usual ash pit door 3 for the removal of ashes from the ash pit 2.

The top 4 of the base 1 supports the grate 5, which may be of any preferred or customary construction.

Disposed centrally oi the grate area and extending longitudinally thereof is a hollow deflector, appropriately formed triangular in cross section, as clearly shown in Figure 1, the base 7 of said cross sectionally triangular shaped deflector being disposed substantially in the plane of the top of the grate 5 and the a ex 8 of said deflector being disposed in the path of movement of the coal as it issues from the exit 9 of a coal magazine 10. Within the hollow interior chamber of the deflector 6 water 10 is adapted to circulate to be heated by the contiguous ignited fuel.

The magazine 10 is disposed centrally of the heater 1, and the side walls thereof, toward the bottom, are couvergently inclined, as shown at 11, s. as to afford a contracted exit 9. The top oi the magazine 10 is normally closed by a swinging door, or cover, 19, hinged as at '13 to ears, rising irom the top of? the heater. li'reterably, a handle, heroin shown. as a knob 14;, is carried by the cover 12 for convenient manipulation of the latter.

Beneath the magazine 10 and on each side thereof is the combustion chamber 15, provided with the lateral upward extending extension 16 separated from the magazine by the water leg 11, as shown most clearly in Fi 'ure 1.

paced from the top wall 17 of said extension 16 and from the side walls 18 of the heater and from the side walls 19 of the magazine 10, are flues 20, disposed one there of on each side of the magazine and communicating with the combustion chamber 15, and provided with the ports communieating with the fines 21.. s

In the hollow chamber 22, surrounding the lines 20, water is adapted to circulate, as shown in the drawings.

Preferably also the walls of the combus tion chamber 15 are provided with a hollow chamber 23 for the purpose of water circulation therethrough. Preferably the chamber 23 and the chamber 22 communicate.

An inlet pipe at for the water istapped into one wall of the heater and an exit pipe 25 for the circulating Water is tapped into the heater at a higher point, as shown in Figure 1.

' t will be noted that by the construction described and shown in the drawings, the deflector 6 is disposed parallel with the grate bars and, being directly under the exit 9 of the magazine 10, the coal issuing through the exit 9 is deflected by the deflector 6 toward the grate bars on each side of the deflector, whereby the coal is prevented from piling up toward the center of the grate.

By disposing a damper between the apex 8 of the deflector 6 and one of the side walls 11, at the bottom of the hopper 10, the portion of the grate to one side of the deflector may be shut off so that the coal will fall only upon the portion of the grate on the other side of the deflector. Thereby, one side only of the grate'is .0 erativc and the heater may be so used in mild weather, thus conserving coal and yet obtaining the requisite heat. It is also obvious that a damper may be wholly dispensed with, as, there being no draft upwardly through the magazine, the fuel ignited upon one side of the spreader 6 will not communicate the ignition to the opposite side and although the oppo site side may be filled with fuel from the magazine, it will remain unignited and ignition supported only upon one grate' It will be understood, of course, that the deflector 6 extends the entire length of the exit 9 of the magazine, 10, and that, by preference, the exit 9, the deflector 6 and the grate bars are coextensive in length.

It will be seen that by the water jackets surrounding the hopper 10, the flues 20 and the combustion chamber 15, the walls thereof are kept from burning out and the maximum space submitted to the heated gases.

What I claim to be new is: i

A heater comprising a combustion chamber having a central divider separating the chamber into independent elongated combustion areas, water jacketed fiues each having an open side extending longitudinally immediately above each of said areas, other water-jacketed flues parallel with the firstmentioned fines and communicating therewith at corresponding ends, and off-take flues connecting with said other flues at their ends opposite said communication.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.

GEORGE H. MOWE.
