I FREDERICK WILLIAM BECK of 191 London Road, East Grinstead Inventor
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 :-
The invention consists of an arrangement to heat water in a boiler by means of
gas, paraffin oil or any other heat-giving substance. The boiler is made in two
sections. The lower section is made of two upright cylindrical tubes, the inner
tube to represent the shape and form of various centre-draught lamp chimneys,
thereby obtaining perfect combustion. The outer tube is made somewhat larger
in diameter so as to allow space for a waterway between the two tubes or
cylinders.
The outer tube is a trifle shorter at the base to allow the inner tube to project a
little.
The projecting inner tube has two so called studs or pins fixed, by means of
which a paraffin lamp, gas burner, fire grating or other desirable fuel container
may be suspended by means of so-called bayonet slits in a metal .band or casting
or other suitable arrangement affixed to the container of the required heat producing
matter. A sight hole or an upward sliding door may be made a little upwards
from the base. The upper section is dome shaped, deep and wide enough to fit
partly over the lower section with sufficient air-space between them to turn the
escaping heat downwards and envelope the upper part of the lower section.
A fume escape pipe is fixed through the base of the dome and varies in diameter
according to the kind of fuel adopted. Through the centre of the dome is made
a hole, large enough to admit a cleaning brush, to inspect the flame or to pass
solid fuel. A lid or cap may be made to cover this hole by means of a short piece
of tube inserted, allowing the upper end to project a little."
The two sections are connected by means of three small tubes, sufficient to allow
a free flow of the heated water.
The upper section has an outlet socket or flow-pipe, and the lower section has
also an outlet socket or return pipe. By means of these two outlets the heated
water is made to circulate through pipes, tanks, cylinders or coils.
In order that this my invention may be better understood I hereto annex one
sheet of drawings showing the water heating boiler in vertical section.
Letter A shows the air space in the lower section.
Letters B the air space between the lower and upper section.
Letters the three connecting tubes.
Letter D the described hole through the centre of the dome.
Letters E the water space in the lower section.
Letters F the water space in the dome.
Letter G the return pipe.
Letter H the fume escape pipe.
Letter I the sight hole.
Letters J the two studs or pins required for suspending the fuel container and

page_text: 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. Of the described boiler the inner cylinder in the shape of a lamp chimney,
made adaptable to be heated by any kind of heat giving substance.
2. The dome shaped upper section made deep and wide enough to partly cover
the lower section.
3. The two studs or pins for suspending the fuel container.
4. The right to enlarge or reduce the above described boiler on the whole or any
of its parts.
