Application filed August 23, 1925. Serial No. l3D,976.

This invention relates to heaters eepeci ally adapted tor use in heating Water, although uotin any senee restricted to euch use.

Briefly Stated, an important object oi the invention is to pro fide a heater havingA novel, niieaue whereby the. heating' coil is mounted in the oit heat t'roin the products: ot combustion ot either or both ol. Separate Source?l of heat euch as a gas burner or a lire of coale, wood, traeh or other combuee tible material.

A further and equally important object ol the invention ieto provide a heater ot the character epecilicd in which the droit F through the heater may be reverted flor operation under various conditioue.

@their objects and advantages; will be ep purent during the course of the tollowingij description.

In the accompanyingr drawings termine' a part of this application and in which like nuinerale are employed to designato like parte throughout the saine,

Figure. l is a vertical sectional View through the improved heater;

lFifure 2 is a perepective ot the heater;

y FigureA 8 is; a fragmentary perspective illuStrat-ing' an outlet connection embodied in the invention;

d Figure 4 is a group perepective illustrating' several oit an annular oeriee o'li ribe einbodied in the invention;

Figure 5 ie a horizontal sectional View taken on line ol Figure l;

Figure 6 ie a horizontal Sectional View taken on line GWG oit Figure l.

ln the drawing the numeral 5 designates a shell or'heater casing' mounted upon the eeh pit or base portion (t, the base portion in turn being' eupported by leus; 7. .ln carrying out the invention a flue pipe 8 ie attached to the upper portion of the cursing 5 andv coininunicatee either with an annular chamber 9 or a retort tube l0. The retort 'tube 10 is arranged centrally Within the casing '5 in spaced relation to the side Wall thereof and connnunication between the tube and the flue is controlled by ineane ot a combined Slide Valve and closure ll. Figure l clearly illustrates that when the Combined Slide valve and closure ie in what inigrht be said to be its open positiona it cuts ol'l direct communication bet-Ween the retort tube and the iiue and et the saine tiine allows ot the admission of air to the retort tube by Way of an opening 14E. When the slide valve 1l is poeitiered ae shown iu Figure Q, there will be a down draft through the tube l0 and an up dra'lt through the annular chamber 9 will be permitted. G0

@n the other hand, when the combined Slide valve end closure l1 in closed peeitiou, the admission oit air by wey oit the oylieuine lil cut oil and direct coinuiuuication between the tube l() :ud the liuc pipe 8 G5 is eetahliehed. lt Will thus be eeen that the member ll 'functions ae a nieane tor controlling` adinieeion oil nir to the tube 1.0 by aj-,f of the opening 14; and has a damper tor eontrollin25` connuunication between the tube 70 l() and the due 8.

The retort tube l() is Surrounded by an annular series of ribs 18, the lower portioue ot' which are Seciuely held in place by a band 20 or other elutable -iaetening device and the upper portions of the ribe are engaged by Stops 22 by which the tube l0 is Supported. Vlttention now directed to Figure 4l: which illustrates that tho upper portions ot the ribs 18 are provided with laterally projecting S0 houde or ehouldere 24; which act to uniformly Space the ribes about the retort tube.

The ribs 18 carry a plurality of radial pegs or lues 2G upon which the conyolutione of a coil 28 are mounted. It Will be ob- S5 served that the ribs 18 may be position-ml Within the coil 8 and the lune 26 engaged with tho conyolutioue of the coil preparatonr to the application ot' the retort tube 10, ln other worde, in originally assembling); the 9o parte l@ 18 and 283 the lune 26 ot the ribs are engaged with the convolutions of the coil and the ribs are then slipped onto the retort tube as a unit, after which they niay be locked in place by the band 20 and the 95 retainers 22.

lVater may bc supplied to the coil by a pipe 30 and Water ina-y be discharged by the pipe 3l, both of which iney have connection in the usual and Well known inanner with a suitably sized boiler 34.

Referring again to Figure l, it Will be seen that tie grate 16 ie mounted on supports 36 and that an annular gas burner is also mounted upon the Supports outwardly of the grate. A gas; supply pipe may be connected to the annular gas burner at one or more places, a suitable number of connections being; provided for this purpose.

In the operation ot the improved heater, fuel such as wood, trash or coal is placed upon the L(grato l@ and ignited and in case the burner 381 is operatingat the time combustion is taking place within the retort tube l07 a down draft in the tube l0 and an up draft through thechamber 9 will be established. Of course, conninmication between the lower portion of the retort tube 10 and the lower portion of the chamber 9 is by Way of the ash pit GQ To provide Afor I this vdown draft, however7 it is necessary to moveV the combined` closure .and damperyll to the open, position illustrated in Figure l. The heat from the fuel upon the grate and the gas burner will effectively heat the water in the coil.

`that the inovemento'.F the member ll is controlled by alnob 47 which may be easily grasped by the Alingers and which in addition to functioning as a knob acts as a stop,

A heater constructed in accordance with this invention Amay be economically manufact-tired and by reason of the la number of fuels which may be employed either alone or in conjunction Witli'gas, an extremely efiicientheater is provided.

Having thus described the i vention what is .claimed is:

'LA heatercomprising a casing, a grate in the bottom thereof, a tub-e in said casing and spaced from the walls thereof, said casmemset) ing having` al Itop provided with an air inlet and an outlet line1 a plate slidable over the top of said tube and closing` communication between said tube and outlet flue in one position of die plate, said plate being; formed to close communication between said tube and inlet and sin'iultaneously open communication between said .tube and outlet llue in another position of the plate, and means on said grate for supporting said tube.

2. A heater comprisinnr a cylindrical casing; having a closed top provided with an outlet tlueandan air inlet, a `grate in tbe lower end thereof, an open. ended tube .supported on said grate and concentric with said casing, water tubes surrounding said tube, and means at the top of said tube for selectively changing said tube from an air inlet downdraft conduit to a llue outlet conduit troni the grate.

3. In a heater, a casina, a grate in tbc lower end thereof, an open ended tube in the casinpr above said gratcwater coils surroundiiur said tube, and aprigbts carried by said grate and forming; a common support for said tube, and water coils.

l. A water heater comprising a casing, a grate in the lower end thereof, a draft tube in saidcasiingz,` above the grate, a plurality ol' grate carried uprights disposed around said tube and having' supporting` connection with the upper end of the tube, vertically spaced lugs extendingv laterally from said uprigihts between the tube and casing', and water coils supported on said lugs.

,In testimony whereof I allix my signa ture.
