I WILLIAM WILSON HORN of 151 Strand Middlesex do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in stove-pipe drums which are placed on
stove pipes in upper rooms, especially chambers for sleeping purposes, to utilize the
heat passing from a stove or heating apparatus below, and which would otherwise pass
off without benefit in such rooms I attain such object as follows:-In the top to the
under side of an oval drum is an attaching rim or flange, which rim may fit in or
over the top of the upright or drum portion proper. The top may be removable
or securely fastened. If removable, it should accurately fit to prevent the escape of
smoke.
Projecting from the top is a collar for attaching the exit-pipe for the escape of the
smoke from the drum.
Transversely through the drum, which is oval in cross-section, is a heat radiating
tube, oval in cross-section, immediately above which is a diaphragm, the edge of which
on one side is made to conform to the side of the drum, to which it is rivetted, while
the opposite edge is obliquely cut away to permit smoke to pass, while the heat is
thereby made more effective in heating the radiator. This diaphragm is to intercept
the heat and smoke, causing them to impinge or remain in contact with the radiator,
and thereby cause it to become quickly heated, and the radiator being open at both
ends, the heat readily escapes into the room to be heated.

page_text: Through the bottom passes the inlet-pipe made with telescoping joints, to facilitate
the setting up of the drum, and also to permit of its being set higher or lower, as may
be desired. The bottom rests upon a secondary or false bottom, the two bottoms
being held together by twin buttons. The false bottom has lugs or leg-receivers, so
that the drum may be properly supported a sufficient distance from the floor.
The secondary bottom serves the double purpose of a continuous support and
stiffener for the bottom and as a means for attaching the legs, so that in situations
where it is desirable to dispense with the legs entirely, the bottom may be removed
with the legs. This said bottom may, if preferred, be of cast metal.
The top of the drum I prefer to make flat, so that water or refreshments may be
heated in case of illness.

page_text: I, WILLIAM WILSON HORN, of the Firm of Horn & Son, of 151 Strand, Middlesex,
(a communication to me from abroad, by Keturah Winters Lotz, of Jay County,
Indiana, United States of America) 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in stove-pipe drums which are placed on
stove pipes in upper rooms, especially chambers for sleeping purposes, to utilize the
heat passing from a stove or heating apparatus below, and which would otherwise pass
off without benefit in such rooms. I attain such object by the mechanism illustrated
in the accompanying drawings, in which-
Fig. 1 is a top plan view. Fig. 2 is a plan view with the top removed. Fig. 3 is a
side elevation. Fig. 4 is a central section, and Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the
detachable bottom with the legs omitted.
Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
A is the top, to the underside of which is an attaching rim or flange, which rim
may fit in or over the top of the upright or drum portion proper. The top may be
removable or securely fastened. If removable, it should accurately fit to prevent the
escape of smoke.
Projecting from the top is the collar B, for attaching the exit-pipe for the escape of
the smoke from the drum.
Transversely through the drum, which is oval in cross-section, is a heat radiating
tube, C, oval in cross-section, immediately above which is a diaphragm, D, the edge
of which on one side is made to conform to the inner side of the drum, to which it is
rivited, while the opposite edge is obliquely cut away to permit smoke to pass, while
the heat is thereby made more effective in heating the radiator. This diaphragm is to
intercept the heat and smoke, causing them to impinge or remain in contact with the
radiator, and thereby cause it to become quickly heated, and the radiater C being
open at both ends, the heat readily escapes into the room to be heated.
Through the bottom E passes the inlet-pipe F, made with telescoping joints, to
facilitate the setting up of the drum, and also to permit of its being set higher or
lower, as may be desired. The bottom E rests upon a secondary or false bottom, G,
the two bottoms being held together by turn-buttons H. The false bottom has lugs
or leg-receivers I, so that the drum may be properly supported a sufficient distanco
from the floor.
The secondary bottom G serves the double purpose of a continuous support and
stiffener for bottom E and as a means of attaching the legs, so that in situations where
it is desirable to dispense with the legs entirely bottom G may be removed with the
legs. The bottom G may, if preferred, be of cast metal.
The top of the drum I prefer to make flat, so that water or refreshments may be
warmed in case of sickness.

page_text: 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. The combination, in a heating-drum oval in cross section, of flat top A, bottom E,
and the open-ended radiating-tube C, oval in cross-section and passing through said
drum length-wise of the oval, the deflecting-diaphragm D, secured above the tube C
at one side thereof, and obliquely cut away at the other to permit the escape of smoke,
and the smoke-flue located opposite the apex of said diaphragm, substantially as set
forth.
2. The combination, in a stove-pipe drum oval in cross-section, of flat top A,
double bottom E, open-ended radiating-tube C, passing through said drum lengthwise
of it, oval deflecting-diaphragm D, secured above the tube Cat one side thereof, and -
obliquely cut away at the other to permit the escape of smoke, and the smoke-flue
located opposite the apex of said diaphragm.
