I, JOSIAH BEIDEMAN Fox of Slatington, County of Leligh, State of Pennsylvania,
U.S.A., Clergyman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The radiator of this invention is designed for utilising waste heat which ordinarily
passes into the air direct from the chimney. It consists of a drum divided into three
or more compartments through which flow or are passed the waste gases of a stove or
fire place, a series of lateral deflecting pipes extending across said drum arranged in
pairs, the members of each pair being in parallel horizontal planes but set at an
inclination relatively to the bottom of the drum for the purpose of drawing cold air
in at the lower ends of said pipes and discharging heated air through the upper ends
thereof. The drum may be enclosed in a cylindrical casing. With this apparatus
two or more rooms may be heated from one fire place.

Improvements in Heat Radiators.
I, JOSIAH BEIDEMAN Fox, of Slatington, County of Leligb, State of Pennsylvania,
U.S.A., Clergyman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The heat radiatior of this invention is designed to utilise the waste products of
combustion which ordinarily pass out into the air from the chimney. In houses
of two or more floors a fire in a room on the first floor can be made to heat the
rooms above by passing the waste products of combustion through the radiator and
thence out through the chimney.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the heat radiator of this invention.
Fig. 2 a sectional view of the same on line X-X of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 a central vertical section.
Fig. 4 a section on line Y-Y of Fig. 1.
1 is a drum of sheet metal with an inlet 2 at the bottom through which the products
of combustion from any suitable source are led into the drum, and with an outlet 3 at
the top, through which the waste gases are led back to the chimney and discharged
into the air. The drum 1 has a series of hot air deflecting or oblique pipes 4
extending through it arranged in pairs, the members of which are in parallel planes
but are set at an angle to the bottom of the drum 1. The lower ends of these
deflecting pipes project through the outside of the drum 1 in order to receive cool
Prins 3

of the pipes 4 from entering the lower ends of the higher located of the said
pipes. 5 are a series of vertical pipes in the drum 1 which increase the radiating
surface and tend to further utilise the heat of the waste gases passing through the
drum. The inlets to these vertical pipes are at the bottom and the outlets at
the top of the drum. 6 are a series of vertical partitions arranged so as to
divide the drum into compartments, three being shewn by way of example. The
products of combustion enter at the inlet 2 pass up through one of the compart-
ments, down through the adjacent compartment and up through the remaining
compartment, passing away through the outlet 3. In this way the heat of the
waste gases is thoroughly utilised for heating the air in the deflecting pipes 4.
On the outside of the drum 1 may, if preferred, be placed a protecting casing 7
open at top and bottom and supported upon lugs or projections extending outwardly
from the drum 1. When such a protecting casing is used, the lower ends of the
deflecting pipes 4 may be extended through the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. In a device of the kind referred to, the combination of a cylindrical drum
having an inlet at the bottom for admitting the products of combustion and an
outlet at top for discharging the same, and a series of deflecting pipes passing
transversely through said drum, arranged in pairs, the members of each pair being
in parallel planes and set at an angle to the base of said drum and oppositely
inclined to the adjacent pair, for the purpose specified substantially as described
and shewn.
2. In combination with the parts specified in Claim 1, a series of vertical pipes
set in the space between the outer ends of the adjacent lateral deflecting pipes,
for the purpose specified substantially as described and shewn.
3. In combination with the parts specified in Claim 1, vertical partitions
dividing the drum into compartments through each of which the products of
combustion are forced to pass, substantially as described and shewn.
4. The general arrangement and combination of parts constituting the heat radiator,
substantially as described and shewn.
