HEATING SYSTEM Filed oct. `r7, 1940 Patented Feb. 10, 1942 HEATING SYSTEM Bernhard S. Pedersen, Los Angeles, Calif., assignor to Ward Heater Co., Los Angeles, Calif.,

a corporation Application October 7, 1940, Serial No. 359,998

6 Claims.

My invention relates to heating systems, and more particularly to a system in which' I make use of the hot gases and products of combustion which pass from a heating furnace, whether gas or other fuel, up through a pipe to the outside of the building.

It is an object of my invention yto provide certain improvements in such a heating system wherein these hot gases and products of combustion will be conveyed up through a pipe in the room in which the heat is to be utilized, with provision for supporting said pipe and protecting the iioor and ceiling from heat therefrom, and also with reflecting means for partially l surrounding said pipe and for reflecting the heat from the pipe out into the room, and also providing a screen or guard to keep persons from coming in contact with the hot pipe in the room.

A great deal of heat is wasted in conveying these hot gases and products of combustion from gas furnaces, fuel furnaces and other heating furnaces which can be conserved and economically and eifectively used, if the correct structure and arrangement is provided. It is the purpose of my invention to provide such proper equipment.

In order to further explain my invention, I have illustrated one practical embodiment thereon on the accompanying sheet of drawings which I will now describe. In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a front view of a pipe, reflector and guard extended up through the oor from the furnace pipe or flue and up through the ceiling;

Figure 2 is a side view of the same, showing a wall or partition;

Figures 3, 4 and 5, are three longitudinal sectional views, taken, respectively on the lines, 3 3, 4-4 and 5 5 of Fig. 1; y

Figures 6 and '7 are cross sectional views taken on the lines 6 6, and 'I-'I, on Figs. 3 and 4, respectively.

Referring now in detail to Ithe drawing, 8 designates a licor and 9 designates a ceiling, while I designates a wall or partition in the room in which the heating pipe is to be located.

It will be understood that my invention can be applied to any kind of flue or pipe which carries off the hot gases and products of combustion from a furnace or heating plant, of any kind. In the drawing, such a. flue is designated II, and is carried up to the oor 8, and my heating pipe, designated I2 is passed through' the floor and connected with such flue in the .manner which I will now describe.

A floor ange is designated I3 and is shown in section in'Figs. 3 and 5, and is provided with a central opening through which my heating pipe I2 passes,fas at I4. Said flange is also provided with an annular seat, of V-shape in which a semi-circular reflector lI5 is'seated at its ends, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 3 and 5, said reflector preferably being made in sections, I5 and I5 connected in telescopic relationship, as will be understood .from Fig. 7, where the inner section is provided at its edges with grooves or slideways, designated I6, I6.

I also provide, in front of said heat pipe I2, to meet the opposite edges of the reector I5, for a part of the height thereof, a screen or guard I'I, held in placev by registering yhinge-like elements with pins therethrough, designa-ted I8. Any connecting means, ofl course can be used.

I also provide lat intervals,v spacers, as I9, I9, between the heat pipe I2 and the'reflector, of angle form in cross section, and of C-shape, as will be understood from Figs. 4 and 7. These spacers serve 'to prevent heat currents and air from passing upwardly further and to be reected and directed outwardly into the room.

In order to properly insulate or protect the floor and ceiling from ythe heat of the pipe, I have provided therein corrugatedspacers, as 20, 20, also seen in Fig. 6. I also'provide a coupling element 2 I, Fig. 5, which ritsv down into Ithe center of the nue II, With'an annular bead 22, and adapted to receive the lower end of said heat pipe I2, as shown clearly in said Fig. 5. An outer guard member, designated 23, is shown in the lower end'of Fig. 5, through the oor, with the spa-cer` 20, therein, serves to protect the oor, and the lower end of this guard is reduced in size to t down Iinto the flue II, in the manner indicated at 24, and in order to properly seal the joint, I have provided a ller of cement, or other suitablesealing material, designated 25.

It will be noted that at the ceiling, I have provided a similar constructionfand arrangement, with the ange I3', similar to the .floor flange I3, with th'e spacer 20, in anI outer guard member 2B, and with a coupler or connecting member 21, to receive the upper end of the heat pipe I2, and also to receive the lower end of a ventpipe or flue 28, which might extend up through an attic or other upper structure, as the case may be.

Cement or other composition ller, as 29, is provided at the upper end the upper outer guard 26, as indicated at 29.

Thus I have provided a practical and economical heating pipe, properly supported and protected from the floor, with' heat refiecting means around one side thereof for reecting the heat out into th'e room, and with screen guard means in front to prevent accidental contact with the hot pipe.

It will be understood, of course, that the pipe, the re'ector, and the screen guard, are al1 made of bright, or ornamental material or Iinish so as to be unobjectionable in the room and 'to give neat nish and design to the structure.

I am aware that changes in details can be made with'out departing from the spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, limit my invention to the showing made for explanatory purposes, except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.

I claim:
