Claim.—1. In a gas heater for range boilers, a sheet metal structure, of a circular form and of two sections, the front section having perforations near the bottom, and pendulum disc to cover the said perforations, the bottom edges of the two half circular sections are wired for the stiffening of the structure, seamed to the upper edges, of the said half circular sections two receiving rings or conical tops, the four outer edges of the said conical tops are provided with eyelets, through which a threaded bolt is passed and draws the two half circular sections together and keeps them in close contact with the sides of the range boiler, the rear section of the half circular structure is provided with a vent, or outlet, which said vent or outlet is seamed to the outer side of the conical top, and is the means for the disposal of the gas fumes, the inner sides of the two half circular sections, and the conical top, are lined with asbestos paper for insulation.
