page_text: A Combined Stove and Steam Generator or Vapouriser for Sick Rooms
and other Purposes.
I, GEORGE CAWWOOD, of 14, Clifton Bank, Rotherham, in the County of York,
Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved combination with a stove or fire con-
tainer, of a steam generator and diffusor for charging the air in room with
moisture in order to relieve persons suffering from asthma, bronchitis and the
like, or for any purpose where a humid atmosphere is desirable.
In carrying out the invention, according to one arrangement I-construct a gas
stove for example, with an open, fire place of any improved form, and upon or
over the fireplace I construct a boiler or generator either as an integral part of
the stove, or as an attachment thereto, that is either permanently affixed or
removable.
The generator is provided with means by which it may be supplied with water,
or any medicated liquid, and preferably with a water. gauge, and a tap by which
water may be withdrawn as required.
In a suitable position upon the top of the generator I fix a steam jet or diffusor
through which steam is injected into the room, or it may be connected with an
outlet to permit its escape." I prefer to provide a clear space upon the top of the
generator to hold receptacles for warming purposes, and brackets upon the sides of
the stove may also be used for that purpose.
In some cases I convey the steam or vapour from the stove to the patient through
a flexible or adjustable tube.
A Combined Stove and Steam Generator or Vapouriser for Sick Rooms
and other Purposes.
I, GEORGE CAWwood, of 14, Clifton Bank, Rotherham, in the County of York,
Ironfounder, do hereby 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:-
My invention relates to an improved combination with a stove ar like fire
con-

page_text: tainer, of a steam generator and diffusor for charging the atmosphere in a sick
room or other room with moisture for the purpose of giving relief to persons
suffering from asthma, bronchitis and the like or for any other purpose where a
humid atmosphere is desirable, and which is also arranged in other respects to
be generally useful for sick room purposes.
My invention as carried out in the construction of a gas stove (for example) is
illustrated in the annexed drawings, similar letters of reference indicate the same
parts in both views.
Fig. 1, is a front elevation of a stove or fireplace constructed to carry out my
invention.
Fig. 2, is a side view of same.
The design of this stove S is octagonal and it is constructed to be used as a
gas stove, thus A, is the supply gas pipe, B, the asbestos coke or its equivalent
and C, is the flue to carry off the products of combustion to the chimney or other
flue, and it will be understood that the design of the stove, and the arrangement
of the gas supply and the flue may be varied as may be desirable.
The steam generator or water boiler W.is preferably situated over the fire and
may either form an integral part of the complete stove, or may be constructed so
that it can be readily removed when not required.
It is provided with an opening in the top plate through which it is supplied.
with water or any medicated liquid for diffusion which is shown being utilized
by a steaming vessel V, for heating branbags and other like purposes; a tap T
for drawing hot water, a pipe P. for the escape of steam to the chimney or else-
where, and a water gauge G, to indicate the height of water in the boiler.
A tap, or jet, or diffusor D, is fixed on the top of the boiler through which
steam may be infused within the room or a flexible pipe may be attached to the
tap and steam be conveyed to the patient in bed or elsewhere.
Brackets E, are provided to hold receptacles, such as cups, for keeping the
contents warm.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1-A combined stove and steam generator or vapouriser for sick rooms con-
structed substantially as herein before described and shown.
2-The combination with a stove such as S, of a steam generator such as W,
provided with a diffusing tap or jet D, a draw off water tap T, and a water
gauge G, as herein before described, and shown in the annexed drawings.
3-A combined stove, and steam generator such as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of
the annexed drawings provided with a pipe P, for steam escape, a diffusing tap D,
a water tap T, a water gauge G, and brackets E, as herein before described and
set forth.
