HEATING ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 492,431, dated February 2Q, 1893.

Application filed .Tune 2, 1892i To all whom it may concern.: 1

Beit known that I, WILLIAM RENNYsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at- Norristown, in the cou nty of Montgomery and' State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain `new and useful Improvements in Heating Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of one form of my device applied to the globe of a gas burner; Fig. 2 a vertical section `of the same; Fig. 3 a horizontal section of a portion of. the cylinder showing the manner of connecting its transparent sections; Fig. 4

. a' plan of the base-plate or ring;` Fig; 5 la side View of the` complete device showing a modi- `iied form of the supporting devices; Fig. 6 a similar view showing still another form of supporting devices, used in connection with a lamp chimney; Fig. '7 a vertical section showing a modified means for attaching the parts of the device together; Fig.` 8 a side 4elevation showing another device for supv wherein a globe or reservoir is detachably supported above the flame of a gas jet or oil lamp to receive and temporarily conline the hot gases as they ascend from the fiame and radiate them downwardly and outwardly into the room whereby the heating and lighting capacity of the flame are greatly increased; 4 and the objects of the present invention are to render the device lighter, cheaper, and simpler in construction, more efficient in action, more ornamental in appearance, and more easily taken apart for transportation and cleaning purposes7 as will more fully hereinafter be described.

Referring to the drawings by letters, a designates the vertical cylinder of the heating device, which cylinder tapers toward its upper end and is constructed preferably of a series of vertical sections of mica secured together at their overlapped edges by small Serial No. 435,322. (No model.)

staples ct. The upper and lower edges of the cylinder are bound with strips of metal a which extend entirely around the cylinder and serve to give strength and rigidity to it and also to form a close joint with the adjacent parts of the device. Openings a2 are formed in this 4cylinder if desired for the purpose of throwing out heatin radial currents, but as the device will probablyoperate equally well without these openings they may be omitted if desired.

The letter b indicates the conical top or cover which is removably secured tightly over the upper end of the cylinder by any suitable means and which is constructed of segmental plates of mica secured together at their overlapped edges by small staples and also at` the apex of the cone by a small clamp b', this cap or cover preferably having its edge extended out a short distance beyond the cylinder, this projecting edge serving to collect and radiate the ascending heat currents and also to add to the appearance of the device. This cap is preferably secured to thecylinder by long flexible strips b Whose upper ends are secured to the inside of the cap and whose lower ends extend down through the cylinder and are passed through slits in a metal or glass. disk or ring c and bent up against the lower side of the same, thereby serving to removably but securely clamp the three pa-rts of the device together. This disk is provided with a central opening for the products of combustion to pass up into the cylinder and it is made of greater width than the cylinder in order that it may be applied to the various sizes and styles of globes.

To detach the parts of the device it is simply necessary to straighten the bent ends of the metal strips, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 8 whereupon the disk and cylinder may be readily slipped oft the strips. Ineans of detaching the parts enables them to be more compactly packed for shipment and also enables the parts to be cleaned more readily. The conical shape of the cylinder and the cap not only enables these parts to be cleaned more readily, but also permits them to be packed one within the other for transportation, which are important advantages. I preferably construct the cylinder This readyand cap of mica as that material isligh'dand cheap as 'Wellas' ornamental, but it is evident that they may be constructed of glass or other materials if found desirable. If desired, to prevent the rings slipping off the globe, de-

pending stops c maybe secured on its under;
