ODORL'ESS GAS HEATING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1,,BARRY Ivon, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Odorless Gas Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in that class of stoves used for heating purposes, in which the ordinary or commercial gas employed for consumption in furnishing light or heat is used as fuel, and while it appertainsmore particularly to heatingstoves, and will be hereinafter described and explained in connection with such a stove, and is so shown in the accompanying drawings, yet it will be understood that it can be applied to and used in connection was gas ranges, or cooking stoves, and ,that modifications and variations may be made therein without a departure from the spirit of the invention.

The principal object of the invention is to provide simple and efiicient means for the economical consumption of gas in connection with a stove, so as to furnish from the gas and stove, a maximum amount of heat, without the emanations of the usual noxious or disagreeable odors, and it consists in certain peculiarities of the construction, novel arrangement and operation of the various parts thereof, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed;

In the accompanying drawings, which serve to illustrate an embodiment of the inventionFigure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through a stove constructed according to the improvements; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of a fragment of the cover for the base ofthe stove taken on line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view, partly in elevation, taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows; and Fig. 4: is a transverse sectional view taken on line14 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Like numerals of reference refer to like parts throughout the different views of the drawlngs.

The reference numeral 7 designates, as a whole, the base of the stove, which base is hollow and is provided at or near its corners with supporting legs 8, which may also be hollow and open at their lower portions, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The hollow base 7 is divided transversely by means of a partition 9, which extends from one side of the base to the other thereof, and from the bottom of the same to a point slightly below the perforated cover 10, of the base, which cover is of sufficient size to extend over the top of the base, and

by preference rests on the upper edges of tween which and the cover 10, the parts 12 are located near or at the ends of the base,

as well as between the side edges of the .plates or covers 10 and 13. The plates or covers 10 and 13 are secured to the base 7 in any suitable manner, but by preference by means of bolts'li, which are extended through suitable openings in said plates, and through the upper portions of the legs 8 of the base, as will be clearly understood by reference to Fig. l of the drawing. The supplemental plate or cover 13, is provided with a slot or opening 15, by preference in register with the slot or opening 11 in the perforated plate. The plate 13 carries on its lower surface a series of strands or wicks 16, of any suitable absorbent material,

which strands or wicks are by preference arranged in transverse rows, yet in staggered relation with one another, as is clearly shown in Fig. 2, and project downwardly through perforations 17, formed in the plate 10, and have their lower portions immersed in a quantity of water 18, which is held in a compartment 19, of the base and forms a reservoir, which compartment is separated from another compartment 20 in the base by means of the partition 9, which, as before stated, terminates at its upper edge below the cover 10 of the base.

Mounted on the central portion of the supplemental cover or plate 13 is a casing 21, which encompasses the slot or opening 15, and has extended upwardly therefrom a conduit 22, which is substantially globular in form, but with its upper end open.

Horizontally mounted on the upper end of the conduit 22 is a casing 23, which'i n the present instance is shown as being elongated and by preference has at each of its ends a segmental end piece 24L, which provides rests for a radiating drumor casing 25, which may be circular in cross section, or of any otherdesired shape. At the upper portion of each of its sides the casing 23 is provided with a longitudinally extended opening 26 for the passage of the heated fluids. VHorizontally and 'removably located in the casing 23 is. a perforated plate or sheet 27 of asbestos, or any other suitable material, WlllCh, if desired, can be withdrawn from the casing 23, through a suitable opening,

' closed by a door 28, on one side of said casing. The radiating caslng or drum 1s divided into compartments by, means of transversely and verticallydisposed bafihng partitions 29, 30 an'd 31, which are provided alternately at their upper and lower porsize and number;v

tions with perforations 32,3"of any suitable Mounted on and extended upwardly from one end of: the supplemental plate or cover 13 of the base is a Venturi tube 33, which communicates at its upperportion'with ai p casing"34,in which is rotatably mounted the fan casing 'with said casing and said 'a' vane wheel or fan 35 of the ordinary or well-known construction. The upper part of the'tube 33 and fan casing 34'may, if desired,be provided with an extension 36 to form a closure for one end of the radiator '25,- which radiator has communication through an opening in the upper part of tube. The. opposite end of. the radiator or drum 25*is closed by means of a plate 38,

vwhich has leading from its lower portion a downwardly extending conduit 39, Which is secured to the upper surfaceof the supplemental plate or cover 13, at or near its end opposite that on which the tube 33 is mounted. Extended from the lower portion of the conduit 39, through suitable openings in the plates or covers 10 and 1 3 is a tube 40,which terminatesatits lower enda slight distance i 7 above the bottom of the base and within the compartment 20 thereof.

As shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, a gas burner 41, which may be of the ordinary or any preferred construction, is located within 1 an enlargement 42, of the tube or conduit 33,

and has connection through a gas cock 43,

with a supply of gas (not shown). Leading from the lower portion of the burner 41 and communicating with the cavity thereof is an air supply pipe 4.4, which is extended outwardly through the lower portion of the tube 33, and is used for the purpose-of supplying air to the interior of the burner. The lower portion'of the conduit 33 is provided with a series of openings 45 for the-admission'ofai'r, which openings may be opened or closed or partially so by means of a damper 46, movably supported on the lower portion of the conduit 33, in any suitable man- 7 ner. v. From the foregoing and by reference to the drawings, it will, be readily understood and clearly seen, that by turning onthe gas by means of the cock 43, so as to supply the burner 41 therewith, and by lighting the gas, the heat generated in the conduit 33 or Venturi tube will ascend, in-which operation a draft will be created through the conduit 33 an'd'fan casing, which will cause the fan 35 to'continuously rotate, thus assisting the heated fluids to pass from the upper portion, of the'fan casing; through the opening 37, into'the. drum or radiator 35, in the direction indicated by the arrows, and out of the V I radiator "or drum' through the conduit 39 and tubeeO into the compartment 20 of the base,1from which it'will pass between the saturated strands 16,- within "the compart ment 19, and from thence through the openings 11' and 15 into the casing21,from which it will pass through the conduit 22, and out 7 through the openings 26 in the casing '23,

which is located below the radiator or drum 25, as before, explained. In this operation the saturated strands or dependingmembers 16 will absorb the odors of'the gas and cause it to be deposited in the water 18 which maybe v'vithdrawn fromthe base by any suitable means as often as desired. Besides removing the odors-of the gas the saturated members 16 will permit theheated fluids to absorb or become impregnated-with moisture, so that when they are discharged from the stove into the room they will contain a healthful amount of moisture instead of'beingdeleteriously dry, as is usually the case. v 1 Havingthus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 7 1. In a stove of the class described,the
