Sanitary Engineer, England, do hereby declare the nature of the invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN COPPERS FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR PURPOSES, to be as
follows:-
The invention consists of an ordinary Household Copper and in the place of a
brick flue being built round the Copper for the heat to pass through, the Copper and
flue is made in one piece (composed of any kind of metal) the flue is cast with the
Copper or otherwise. The bottom of flue which sets in the fireplace is square and
the outlet which leads to the Chimney is round or square, a little door can also be
made in the front of flue for cleaning it out. The flue on the Copper is half round
or otherwise. This combined Copper and flue is a great improvement on the
ordinary Copper, as any unskilled workman can set it, it is also cheaper than building
an ordinary brick flue, and lasts longer, the flue can be easily cleaned, and costs a
very little for fuel &c..

ALFRED CLIFFORD No. 7, Hyth Street, Dartford Kent, England, Trading as
Plumber & Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of the invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN COPPERS, FOR HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR PURPOSES 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 ordinary household copper A, and in the place of a
brick flue being built round the copper A, for the heat to pass through, the copper A,
and flue B, is made in one piece (composed of any kind of metal). The flue B is
cast with the copper A, (or otherwise). The bottom of flue B, which sets in the
fireplace is square, and the outlet which leads to the Chimney is round or square, a
little door C, is also made in the front of flue B, for cleaning it out. The flue B, on
the copper A is half round or otherwise. This combined copper A, and flue B, is a
great improvement upon the ordinary copper, as any unskilled workman can set it,
it is also cheaper than building an ordinary brick flue, and last longer, the flue can be
easily cleaned & cost a very little for fuel &c. It can also be made into a portable
copper, packed round with any substance to keep the heat close to the copper A, and
inclosed in an outer iron (or any other substance) case, with a small fireplace formed
at the bottom and fixed upon three or four legs with an iron (or any other substance)
chimney.
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
The iron (or any other metal) flue B, cast (or otherwise) with, and upon the
copper A, as described upon these forms, also the small door C, cast (or otherwise) in
the flue B, also packing, of any substance round the copper A, inclosed in with sheet
iron (or any other substance) to form a cylinder round the copper A, and flue B, and
also the packing, also a small fireplace under the copper A, to lead into the flue B, to
form a portable copper as described upon these forms.
Dated this 12th day of December 1888.
