PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hot Water and Steam Boilers for Heating
Apparatus.
I, JONATHAN KITCHEN of The Welded Boiler Works, Derby in the County of
Derby, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved boiler for heating apparatus
which shall present as much heating surface as possible to the flame and one which
will ensure an easy and rapid circulation of hot water, and economisè fuel.
i
In carrying out my invention I provide a number of water tubes running through
the flues or combustion chambers of vertical or horizontal boilers, the said water
tubes being fixed in such a manner that they run parallel with the flues and at the
same time parallel with the direction of the flame; thus adding largely to the
heating surface in a boiler and causing a better circulation of the water.
The tubes may be of any size and connected in any suitable manner to the top
and bottom or front and back inner plates of the boiler. Suitable plugs or doors
are provided for cleaning the tubes.
Dated this 4th day of April 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hot Water and Steam Boilers for Heating
Apparatus.
I, JONATHAN KITCHEN of The Welded Boiler Works, Derby in the County
of Derby, Engineer 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 object of my invention is to provide an improved boiler for heating apparatus
which shall present as much heating surface as possible to the flame and one which
will ensure an easy and rapid circulation of hot water and economise fuel; in order
that.my said invention may be the more readily understood I have caused to be
annexed to this Specification a sheet of drawings the different figures and letters of
reference marked upon which will be hereafter referred to.
Figure 1 is a vertical section on line a. b.
Figure 2 is a transverse section on line c. d.
Figure 3 is a sectional plan on line e. f.
My invention is more particularly designed for use in boilers having water-way
midfeathers such as A which deflect the flame and cause it to take varying
directions as shewn by arrows on the accompanying drawings and although I have
shewn an oval form of boiler thereon it will be evident that I may apply-my
invention to any form of vertical or horizontal boiler for hot water or steam heating
apparatuses.
In carrying out my said invention I provide a number of water tubes running
through the flues or combustion chambers B of vertical or horizontal boilers the
said water tubes being fixed in such a manner that they run parallel with the
flues at the same time parallel with the direction of the flame; thus adding largely

steam.
The tubes may be of any size and connected in any suitable manner to the top
and bottom plates C and D of the boiler these vertical tubes being indicated
by letter E on the drawings; or, in the case of a horizontal boiler the said tubes
may be connected to the front and back plates of the boiler in a similar manner.
Suitable plugs J are provided for cleaning out the tubes.
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
In vertical or horizontal boilers for hot water or steam heating apparatus the
employment of water tubes running parallel with the direction of the flame in a
suitable combustion chamber or flue, substantially as and for the purposes described
and illustrated herein.
