Divided and this application filed April 25, 1928.
- The present application is a Vdivision of an application filed January 30, 1928, Serial No. 250,350, for improvements in radiators, and is directed totheelectric heating element alone or in connection with other apparatus.

Figs. 9, 10 and 11 arerespe tively alplan and side and end views ofa modi'cation;
. Figs.- 12 and 13 are-views .corresponding to views 2 and 4 also .illustrating a modiiication.
The heating ,element comprises a loop.. of coiled resistance wire. 1 extending. in gt'wo lengths-from' end jto end andl p assinggout throughan insulator 2. (Fig.1) to-'circuit wiresl* and 1". The coil is enclosed directly between insulating blocks 3 carried in, a tubular casing 401?` oblong cross-section. jThe. casing may be fof. any suitable material, .preferably copper because of its .heat conductivity. In the course of time the resistanceelement in electric heatersfis liableto burn outor to deteriorate, l e.. ,gig f =According toI the present invention; it is made removable and replaceable..` The insuf. lation immediately surrounding; thetwire is made in sections-like Fig..2of comparatively short length. This contributes to.,ea se of manufacture and to strength of the pieces and ease of introduction into the casing.
The casing is best made in standard lengths, each a multiple of one-half the length of one of the blocks, so that one size of blocks may be used for all sizes of radiator. The porcelain and wire cost much less than complete strip heaters of known type, and even the cost ot the casing 4 may be added Serial No. 272,584.
without equaling that of standard strip heaters. l -Each block 3 has a rib 5 extending over about half its length and fitting in a groove 6 constituting the remaining half ofthe length of the opposite block. Longitudinal grooves 7 accommodate the coil 1. Near the ends of each block vl,there are .transverse .grooves 8 and 9 so that near the inner closed end of the casing 4 the-coil can pass continuously from one to the other of the grooves 7 as illustrated, for example, at the left of Figli. 1- v The wire coil 1, as shown in 8, may be a close spiral vor` may bestretched more 'or less to separate the convolutions and thusto provide a greater vor lessvolume of` heat or a given lengthof heater.. f A A. The ends of lthe wire runthrough an insulating block 2 (Fig. 1) which is grooved and engaged by an inward flange-0n acap- 10 whichy is screwed or otherwise removably fastenedomto the end ofthe casing 4.
Then a heatingelement is to be intro,- duced, the center of the= coil is looped through the transverse opening 8 of one of the blocks and laid in thegrooves thereof between said block and a half lengthpiece, such as 3 (Fig. 4). The two blocksa're held togethereand inserted into the open. end of the casing 4.v Additional blocks arethen added at alternate sides, pushing each in turn linto the-casing until the later is full, the last block being another half section like 3a. The length of wire for a desired heat value having been fixed, it maybe stretched to the full lengths of dierent standard casings. Or coils of ldierent lengths, giving diiierent heat values, may be used for-different casings. Such an electric heating element isfa'daptedl to be used as a part of various apparatus or separatelyin electric furnaces, ovens, sol dering irons, curling irons or irons for other uses, immersionI heaters,jspace heaters and thelike.. 'v Where :the standardstrip heaters are made a part of another apparatus, thev burning out o the heater sometimes means the. scrapping of the entire apparatus orv at least the scrap? heating coil Within and to a pair of bladeslsimilar to those on the ordinary vconnection plug, by which the heater connection may be readily made and broken. "",Aceording to Figs. 12 and 13. the porcelain blocks are made interlocking with each other s`o` thatthey may all lbe 'withdrawn simply by pulling out the end one and without putting any strain on the Wire. For this purposeleahblock is providedwith a recess 14 betweenthe two parts 5a and 5l of its projecting rib, and is providedalso with a projectiorifl adapted to 'lit into the recess 14C of its mating block,l as illustrated 'in Fig. 13. Otherwise .these blocks are substantiallylhe an s that of Fiss# 2,13 and, 4:, Ehblk, iskinte'rloel'edwith two blocks on the opposite 's ideas'showninFig.'13.
