JOHN WILLIAM KITSON.
Improvements relating to Non-conducting Coverings for Preventing
the Transmission of Heat.
I, JOHN WILLIAM KITSON 104 Kerbey Street Poplar, London E. Composition
Manufacturer do bereby 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:-
This invention relates to an improved covering for pipes and aims to provide a
ready means of covering pipes, the necessary packing being contained in a
receptacle formed in two or more sections which are secured round the pipe by
means of a clipping band.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which :-
Figure 1. is an end view of my invention in position.
Figure 2. elevation of same.
Figure 3. view of clipping band.
a and a¹ are two receptacles which contain the packing c which may be of any
well known kind. The diameter of the inner circle formed by the receptacles is of
a size to fit the pipe or the like which is to be covered and which is shown at b.
d are flanges or rims which are formed upon either of the receptacles so as to
maintain same in position. e is a metal band which has a loop or ring f. This band
encircles the receptacles and the end is passed through the loop and folded or bent
over as shown in Figures 1. and 2.
The receptacles may be formed of a suitable shape so as to adapt themselves to
the shape or configuration of the pipe or the like to be covered.

page_text: It will be seen that the receptacles can be readily fixed to or removed from a
pipe and may be of any suitable material. Although I have shown two sections
forming the complete covering it will be seen that the receptacles may be formed
in three or more sections if required without departing from my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In a covering for pipes and the like, a receptacle formed in two or more sections
in which the packing is carried, a band or clip encircling said receptacles when in
position around a pipe or the like for securing same in position.
Dated this 8th day of July 1895.
