RADIATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,54@ dated April 30, 1889.

Application iiled February 27, 1889. Serial No. 301,349. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL DUSENBURY ToMPKINs and THOMAS HILTON WILLIAMS, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiators, which is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a side elevation of a leg attached to a section of the radiator; Fig. 2, alvertical section through Fig. 1 by the line ac at; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the leg; Fig. 4, a front elevation of a compound radiator, partially in section, showing two legs, one at each end.

I Our invention relates to supports for radiators; and it consists of an arched leg. shaped to tit the bottom of any section of the radiator, to which it is rmly secured by a screw-bolt. Every section of the radiator is capable of replacing, in case of accident, every other one as regards attaching the legs.

Leg A is preferably made in one casting, properly cored out and highly ornamental. At its upper extremity it forms an arched tray, 0 so shaped as to conform to the: shape of the bottom V of a radiator-section, R, and the Vborders a of which iit4 close around thebottom of said section, preventing lateral motion when the leg is attached. At the center part of leg A, in the space left between the two supports o2, which carry the tray a a, base as is projecting below. Through this base and the metal in the center of the leg a hole,b, is provided, corresponding with a screw-threaded opening, b2, at the bottom of each radiator-section R in such a Inanner that when a section is placed in a leg screw-bolt b can be inserted through hole b and screwed into hole b2 of radiatof-section Runtil the head of bolt b engages with the 'outer surface of base 0.3, pinning leg A irmly to radiator-section R, the shape and borders of the arched tray a preventing any lateral motion between the leg and t-he section resting thereon.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent, is

The combination, with a radiator composed of interchangeable sect-ions, each having a convex lower end, of interchangeable legarches for the sections, having concave upper surfaces to receive the convex lower ends of the radiator-sections, secured by a bolt or other locking device to hold the leg-arches in position on any section ,y substantially as described.
