4 Claims.

'Ihis invention relates to devices for ventilating rooms, and its chief object is to provide a device which will furnish improved ventilation and improved control thereof, and will at the same time add directly to the illumination of the room.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature which will not only ventilate the room in an improved manner but by which also the temperature and humidity of the air in the room can be regulated in any desired manner.

A particular object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be incorporated in an ordinary window without any structural changes therein and which will be cheap to make and sell, yet simple in operation and durable in service.

This application is a divisional of applicants case Serial No. 449,170 filed May 2, 1930 which has matured into Patent No. 1,976,032 Oct. 9, 1934.

Fig. l is a vertical section on line l-I of Fig. 3 of the device;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2-2 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the device; and

Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

In Figs. 1 to 4, I have shown a form of the device in which the parts are arranged in such a way that the faces of the device may fit flush with the respective faces of the window frame, as when the latter is relatively narrow, and is particularly advantageous in cases where singleplane windows are used. This form is also particularly advantageous where a greater amount of heat radiating surface is required. The box is somewhat narrow transversely, but has an inlet and outlet port system as shown at l, 8, 9, and I0, and the lighting' elements 5 preferably such as those shown are arranged preferably in the manner shown. The discharge and intake drafteffect is induced by convection caused by elements 5', as shown, but the draft backplate and light diffusing element 6 is so constructed and arranged that though it is corrugated and stands vertically, it is supported at the ends only, by being suitably attached to steam coils 20 located in either end of the casing. These coils are preferably provided with longitudinally extending heat-radiating ns 2|, those ns which lie nearest the ventilation ports being made longer than the others, as shown, in order to positively direct the convection currents to or from the ports. 'l is a swing port, 8 another, 9 is a slide-grating, I0

another, Il a piece of frosted glass. I1, in Fig. 1, is insulation material. 6 is a reecting screen, 2 is the rail of the window frame, 3 the overhead.

I claim:

l. A ventilation device comprising a container having vertically separated openings in one side, vertically separated openings in the opposite side, means for closing the diagonally opposite pairs of openings alternately, incandescent means in said container intermediate said openings, light-diifusing means in a wall of said container between said incandescent means and the room, and a member so located and supported within the container as to form a draft stack with the light-diffusing member and simultaneously acting as a reflector for the incandescent means.

2. A window ventilation-device, comprising a container arranged between the lintel and the overhead-wall, the outer side thereof having two vertically spaced openings and closures therefor, the inner side having two vertically spaced perforated shutters and register plates therefor and having translucent material between said shutters, an illuminating element intermediate said sides, a heating element between the inner and the outer side, and a diffusing reflector supported in vertical position by said heating element in such a manner as to constitute the back plate of a draft-stack for the illuminating element.

3. A window ventilation device, comprising a container arranged between the lintel and the overhead-wall, the outer side thereof having vertically spaced valve-like openings therein and closures therefor, the inner side having vertically spaced openings therein and shutters therefor and translucent material between said shutters, a plurality of incandescent illuminating elements arranged vertically between said sides, and occupying the major portion of the length of the container to each side of the longitudinal center thereof, a vertically extending heating coil at each end oi the inside of said container, and a vertically corrugated reiiecting surface connecting said coils to thereby form a draft-stack with said translucent member.

4. A window ventilation device, comprising a container arranged between the lintel and the overhead-wall, the outer side thereof having vertically spaced valve-like openings therein and closures therefor, the inner side having vertically spaced openings therein and shutters therefor and translucent material between said shutters, a plurality of incandescent illuminating elements arranged vertically between said sides,

' and occupying the major portion of the length of the container to each side of the longitudinal center thereof, a vertically extending heating coil at each end of the inside of said container, and a vertically corrugated reflecting surface connecting said coils to thereby form a draft-stack with said translucent member, said coils bearing Y longitudinal fins the fins on eachr coil nearest said openings being made longer horizontally than the others.
