RADIATOR CA5 ING Filed Feb. 25. 1927 This invention relates to an attachment for a radiator, the general object of the in- 18 used. vention being to provide means whereby some of the heated air thrown off by the radiator can be carried to another room or another part of a building to heat this part so that it is not necessary to place a second radiator in this room or part of the his invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which the sides, ends and top and is preferably other rooms.

Patented @ct. l, 1929 RADIATOR CASING Application filed February 25, 1927. Serial No. 171,000.

WILLIAM H. BROOKER, 0F BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA system and its upkeep, as but one radiator The bottom of the casing is formed with a flange t which may be fastened to the floor and the ends are split, as at 5, the splits communicating with the holes 6 so that the pipes for conducting the water or steam to and from the radiators can pass through the ends of the casing. In Figures 4; and 5, the inner ter of choice or discretion.

It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be'understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim;

end of the casing is provided with a long slit 5 and with the two holes 6 so'that this end of the attachment can be placed over an intermediate portion of the radiator with the upper and lower connections between two coils passing through the holes 6, as clearly shown in Figures land 5. Air of course is admitted into the casing through the holes 6, as these holes do not tightly or snugly receive the radiator connections, but if desired the casing may also be provided with a plu- V rality of air inlet openings 7 which can be Figure 1 is an elevation with parts broken conveniently located on the/casing as a mataway, showing a cover for covering the entire portion of a radiator.

Figure 2 is an end view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a plan View of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a view of a cover for enclosing but half of a radiator.

Figure 5 is an end View of Figure 4-, with the outer part of the radiator removed.

As shown in these views, I provide a casing-like cover 1 for enclosing the whole or What I claim is part of a radiator, shown at A in Figures 1 and 4. Figure 1 shows the cover as enclosing the entire radiator, while Figures 4 and 5 show a cover 1 which covers but a portion of the radiator.

A casing for enclosing a radiator to collect: heated air therefrom, said casing being formed from a single piece of material and including opposed sides, top and end walls,

The cover consists of said casin bein 0 en at its bottom flan es projecting laterally from the opposed sides formed of beaver board or the like. The and one end wall and utilized to attach the top is formed with flanged openings 2 for receiving the pipes 3 which conduct the heat ed air collected in the casing or cover to other rooms or other parts of a building so that it is not necessary to place radiators in these Thus a large radiator can be placed in the basement or another part of a building and the heated air there from, collected'by one of my devices and conducted to other parts of the building. This will greatly reduce the cost of the heating casing to the floor, one of said end Walls having spaced vertically aligned openings to re ceive the adjacent radiator pipes, and said end wall being split from its lower edge throughout the major portion of itsheight, interesecting the lowermost opening and terminating at the uppermost opening to per mit the pipes to be placed within the latter.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

WILLIAM H. BROOKER.
