Improvements in Heating Apparatus.
I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, of The Frank Rippingille Stove Company
Limited, Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturer, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for heating or warming
conservatories, greenhouses, and other buildings, my object being to construct and
arrange a simple, effective, and economical combined hot water and hot air
apparatus adapted for use with an ordinary oil stove and in such a manner that
the gaseous products of combustion from the lamp shall be effectually drawn
through the flues and thus prevented from diffusion within the building.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to;-
Figure 1 is a part sectional elevation of my combined hot water and hot air
circulating apparatus, and Figure 2 a plan of the same.
In carrying my invention into effect I employ a hot water boiler or heater such
as A and mount the same upon a tripod B or other suitable stand, providing
sufficient space between the underside of the boiler and the feet or base of the
stand to permit of the insertion of the oil stove C. The hot air and gaseous
products of combustion arising from the lamp pass up the tubes or flues D fitted
within the boiler or heater and through the pipes E extending throughout the
whole or a portion of the interior of the building, and thence to the discharge
aperture on the exterior of the building.
The hot air and gaseous products from the lamp in passing through the internal
tubes or flues D raise the temperature of the water in the boiler or heater and
cause it to circulate through the range of pipes such as F, any required number
of pipes being employed in conjunction with gates or connecting stands such
as G.
I thus combine with the one simple heating apparatus a series of hot water pipes
such as F and hot air pipes such as E, for the purpose of heating the surrounding
external atmosphere, and by arranging the flues and pipes in the manner illustrated
I am enabled to effectually draw away the gaseous products of combustion arising
from the lamp, and also to assist in the ventilation of the building by inducing a
current of air towards the lamp.
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 ;-
1. The improved method of heating or warming the atmosphere of a conservatory,
greenhouse, or other building, by the combination of hot water and hot air
apparatus, substantially as described and as illustrated.
2. The construction of heating apparatus comprising the hot water pipes F and
hot air pipes E connected with a boiler such as A having internal flues or tubes D
and heated by an ordinary oil stove such as C, substantially as and for the
purposes described and as illustrated.
