ruRNAoni f Be it known that l, lVi'LLrAM 'FRANKLIN PAYNE, a subject of the King or Great Brit aimi-esiding at lthe 'c ityofStrattord, in the Province of` Ontario' n and `Dominion oi? usetul improvements in Furnaces', 4ot which the following isa specification. This invention relates to'improvements yin furnaces, and the objects of the invention are to secure an increased eiiiciency in thev distribution ot heat,particuiarly in domesticr furnaces andthose designed iortheheatin/iij of houses and buildings', whether hot air or hot Water.

More particular objects oi" the invention are toA insure that the maxin'iu'm amount otY heat. units in the original combustiblegmate- Vrial is transferred to the'. conducting me-y dium, such as the air or Water by Whichitis conductedto the parts are to be heated.f f

are to insure that the heating current of air or Water should be heated to as hi glia temv peiature as possible before leaving the iurnaceand ythat the products ot combustion oi the fire in the furnace should remain'in contactwith the air heatingmeans 'as long as possible'betore leaving the furnace. 1 Further and vmore general objects ot the invention are generally to simplify and improve the construction of theffurnace to better adapt it to perform the functions required -ot it and it consists essentially Voit the improved construction and arrangement ot parts hereinafter described `in detail in the accompanying specification and drawings.

`will drop through the grate into the ash pit 1U from which they may be drawn through which will cause them to pass along channels 15' and 16.-tlie"outer side of thechannels 'being` formedby air chambers -F and G which' are thus heatedby the products of combustion, these chambers beingprolvided `with bevelled faces 17 at the forward endend with rounded faces 18 at the rear?y mostfend. The'products of combustion pass :trom the channels 15 and 16 to the down iues 19 and 2() which form part of the inner casing H of the furnace. t the bottom of the inner casingi thedoivn ilues communicate with forwardly `extending passageivays 21` through thefreturn iiue 25 to the jup flue 26 1 at the back ofthe casing and from thence to the smoke pipe J Which leads to a suitable'r chimney. During progress of the products` oit combustion in this Way, the heat units therein will be imparted to the air chambers F, G and I. indicates one of the air heat ingY pipes Which rises from a `suitable point in the room to be heated` i I find it convenient to locate the opening oi this pipe'about threeinches `irointhe iioor. ltthen extends into: the air heating chamber Ifand While in ico Avheating chamber' F or G. These chambers F and Gr are each provided with a' plurality of outlets 27 which when the inner casing is not enclosed by the outer `casing will permit the heated air to pass directly into the room to be heated. It is preferable, however7 to enclose the inner casing by an outer casing O spaced therefrom and fromy 'which pipes P may lead to the rooms or plac'e toy be heated. 1t Vwill be lseen that the air drawn `into the pipes K and Mis heated thoroughly in the heating chamber 1 by passing through the serpentine coils and is finally further heated in the air chambers F and G. e

A hinged damper Q 'of any convenient lform may be provided adjacent to an openving 28 leading from the back of the channels 15 and 16 tothe up flue 26. 1f desired, a certain part of the products of combustion pass directly to the smoke pipe. This `will enable the fire to be started vmore readily. The damper may be y controlled by a rod 29 connected thereto extending through the side of the inner casing and being formed with a crank 30 on the end by vwhich it may be operated.` the said crank, if desired, being connected to the operating'rod 31 leading to the forward lpart of the furnace.

For convenience in gaining access tothe fire pot, an opening 32 be ,provided in the top Vof the casing inwardly closed by the plate 33. The inner casingitself may be supported from the floor or from any suitable base or 4legs 34.

The alternative form of theA invention shown in Figures 6 and 7 illustrates the in vention as applied to water heating systems. In this case, the return pipes of the water heating systems are 'connected to serfire pot 48 pass.

pentine coils 440 and 41within the oven 42 which corresponds to the heating chamber I and is heated by the means described with 'respect to th'e form shown in Figures 1 te The outlet conduits 43 and 44 from the coils 40 and 41 pass to further serpentine `coils 45 and 46 located in a chamber 47 through which the product-sof combustion from the It will be seen that in the forni shown in Figures 1 to 5 the cold air will. draw into the casing at the bottom from the different rooms and as it passes through the serpentine coils and air heating chambers, is thoroughly heated and will become very hot. The conduits 45 and 46, for convenience in distribution, may be connected *byy the Y branches 48 and 49of a header` 50 larged from the bottom to the top and having apluralityfof distributing pipes 52 eX- Vtending from the top thereof and the saine header may be provided on the return end to combine the pipes from a` plurality of rooms int'o two lconduits which lead to the serpentine lcoilsn40 and 41.

1n addition to this, there is a certain radiation of heat from the` inner casing itself which Vwill either heat the room in which it is placed or will heat the air in the outer casing. It is found by this means possible to effect a considerable economy in the fuel used to heat a building of given size.
