RADIATOR.'A

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 677,876, dated July 9, 1901.

Application filed June 11,1900.

T) all whom, i! may concern:

Be it known that I, TIMOTHY S. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Butte, in the county of Silverbow and State of Montana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to radiators, and has for its object to provide a construction which will be simple and reliable, which will require no air-cock on the radiator, and in which provision is made for an automatic collection and drainage of the condensation-water and for an adjustment of the distance between the two pipes through which steam is admitted and returned, respectively.

The invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features of novelty pointed out inthe appendedclaim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures. Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved radiator on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are cross-sections on the lines 3 3, 4 4, and 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a detail showing the means for adjusting the steam-pipe, and Fig. 7 is a vertical section on the line 7 7 of Fig. 6.

The improved radiator comprises a casing or box A- of rectangular prismatic shape, having at its top apertures into which fit the ends of inverted-U-shaped pipes B, of which there are three rows of four each in the radiator represented in the drawings. In a plane between the members Of the pipes B transverse vertical partitions C depend from the top of the casing A, and the outer portions of said partitions are in contact at the bottom with transverselyinclined partitions D, extending lengthwise from one partition C to the nextv and meeting at an angle to each other in the center, as shown best in Fig. 5, so as to form a longitudinal gutter or channel. As will be seen in Fig. 1, the partitions D are inclined not only transversely but lengthwise from one end of the casing to the other, and the partitions C are therefore of increasing height toward one end of the cas Vcondensation-water contained therein.

Serial No. 19,883. (No model.)

ing. Adjacent to each partition C a cup or well E of spherical curvature is provided, the upperv end of each well being flush with the partitions D, while its lower end is at the bottom of the casing A and is closed by a screw-plug F, so that access may be had to the well for the purpose of cleaning it when necessary. Each partition C has a central projection C (see Figs. l and 4) extending into the well E and adaptedto dip into the To each partition C is further secured above the well E, on that side toward which the partitions D dip lengthwise, a baffle-cup C2 of spherical shape and reaching down to within a short distance of the upper edge of the well, thus forming a throat Gr. The last cup C2 of the series has a lip()3 extending over the edge of the corresponding well E.

The foremost partition D is spaced at one side from the front wallof the casing A, forming an inlet-opening H, at the rear end of which a vertical partition H' extends to the bottoni of the casing, while at the side of said opening is arranged a short longitudinal partition H2, likewise extending to the bottom of the casing. Into this opening or chamber H leads the steam-inlet pipe I, provided with a flange I', having a boss l2. This boss fits into an Oblong hole A' in the radiator-casing, and the flange is fastened to the casing by means of two screws J, fitting into transverse slots A2. By this means the flange I' and the inlet-pipe may be adjusted transversely-that is, toward and from the outlet or return pipe K, which is secured to the front end of the casing A at the same height as the inlet-pipe I, but on the other side of the partition H2 and under the partitionv D. By making the inlet-pipe I adjustable the distance between the two pipes I and K may be varied to cor- The throat G should be of smaller area than the inlet-pipe I, so that the steam when first admitted will drive the air contained in the radiator before it, and will thus completely lill IOO the radiator. The steam passes from the inlet I through the opening H up the first pipe B, then down into the second compartment, and so on, traveling above the partitions D until the rear end of the radiator is reached. The condensation-Water accumulates in the wellsv E, forming Water seals in connection with the projections C of the partitions Q, so that steam cannot pass through said Wells, but is compelled to travel through the pipes B, as indicated by the arrows. The condensation-Water flows down in the inclined gutters formed` by the partitions D, and finally passes under the lip C3 of the last cup C2. From that point the Water and Steam flow forward on the bottom of the casing-A, under the partitions D,

to finally reach the outlet-pipe K.

Having' thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A radiator comprising a casing having a partition dividing it into two compartments, an inlet-pipe and au outlet-pipe leading respectively into said compartments at one end of the casing, one of said pipes being adjustable toward and from the other, a channel connecting the compartments at the other K
