PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Candle-making Machines and the like.
We, WILLIAM HARPER DAY, Candle Machine Manufacturer and Pewterer, and
WILLIAM MURCHI, Engineer, both of the Novelty Works, Hounslow, in the County
of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object improvements in the heating and cooling
arrangements of candle-making machines and the like with a view to accelerate
the heating and cooling action. Heretofore the heating and cooling of such
machines has been effected by means of a perforated pipe placed on the bottom
of the "water box" and connected at one end with a pipe connected with steam and
cold water supplies and having cocks or valves whereby either steam or cold water
can be caused to enter the perforated pipe or both can be shut off as required.
With the perforated pipe it is found that the heating and cooling actions are not
so efficiently and speedily effected as is desirable.
We also employ a pipe in the lower part of the "water-box" but in order to
obtain a more efficient and speedy heating and cooling action instead of merely
perforating such pipe we fix thereto a number of nozzles projecting therefrom at
any desired angle which nozzles are so formed as to cause the steam or cold water to
issue from each thereof in a thin sheet and we arrange these nozzles so that adjacent
nozzles shall cause such thin sheet to issue at different angles or planes; by this
means the steami or cold water issuing from the nozzles causes a vigorous circula-
tion of the water in the water-box and consequently a speedy heating and
cooling thereof.
رو
We also in order the more equally to distribute the steam or cold water in the
issue pipe, connect the pipe conducting the steam or cold water thereto to the
middle of the length of such issue pipe.
Also instead of placing the issue pipe on the bottom of the water box as heretofore
we raise said pipe a convenient distance therefrom whereby the choking of the
same by sediment in the water box will be avoided.

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The invention has for its object improvements in the heating and cooling
arrangements of candle-making machines and the like, with a view to accelerate
the heating and cooling action.
Heretofore the heating and cooling of such machines has been effected by means
of a perforated pipe placed on the bottom of the "water-box" and connected at one
end with a pipe connected with steam and cold water supplies and having cocks
or valves, whereby either steam or cold water can be caused to enter the perforated
pipe, or both can be shut off as required.
With the perforated pipe it is found that the heating and cooling actions are not so
efficiently and speedily effected as is desirable.
We will describe our invention in connection with the accompanying drawings,
in which Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the "water-box" of a candle-making
machine; Fig. 2 is an elevation and Fig. 3 a vertical section of one of the
nozzles.
נ''
In carrying our invention into effect we also employ a pipe a in the lower part
of the water-box" b, but in order to obtain a more efficient and speedy heating
and cooling action, instead of merely perforating such pipe a, we fix thereto a
number of nozzles a projecting therefrom at any desired angle, which nozzles
are so formed as to cause the steam or cold water to issue from each thereof in a
thin sheet, and we arrange these nozzles a' so that adjacent nozzles shall have their
outlet openings arranged at different directions and thereby cause such thin sheets
of steam or cold water to issue at different angles or planes. By this means the
steam or cold water issuing from the nozzles a', causes a vigorous circulation of the
water in the "water-box" b, and consequently a speedy heating and cooling
thereof.
.
We also, in order the more equally to distribute the steam or cold water in the issue
pipe a, connect the pipe a conducting the steam or cold water thereto, to the middle
of the length of such issue pipe a.
°
Also, instead of placing the issue pipe a on the bottom of the "water-box" 6 as
heretofore, we raise said pipe a convenient distance therefrom by means of suitable
standards c, whereby the choking of the same by sediment in the
will be avoided.
"
water-box"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The combination with the "water-box" of a candle-making machine and
the like, of an issue pipe for the steam or cold water provided with nozzles, having
the issue orifices of adjacent nozzles turned in different directions, substantially as
herein set forth.
2. The combination with the "water-box" of a candle-making machine and the
like, of a steam or cold water issue pipe and a steam or cold water conducting pipe
connected to such issue pipe at or near the centre of the latter, substantially as
herein set forth.
3. The combination with the " water-box" of a candle-making machine or the
like, of a steam or cold water conducting pipe connected about midway of a steam
or cold water issue pipe arranged at a short distance above the bottom of the
water-box," substantially as herein set forth.
4. The combination with the "water-box" of a candle-making machine and the
like, of a steam or cold water issue pipe arranged a short distance above the bottom
of the box, nozzles attached to said issue pipe having their outlet openings at
different angles, and a steam or cold water conducting pipe attached about midway
of the issue pipe, substantially as herein set forth.

issue pipe for steam or cold water arranged at a convenient distance from the
bottom of the box, substantially as herein set forth and for the purpose> stated.
