PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Heating Water for Kitcheners and Ranges.
We, WILLIAM HENRY BUSHELL, Managing Director of the Tubular Bath Boiler
Company Limited, of 184 Gray's Inn Road, in the County of London, and
THE TUBULAR BATH BOILER COMPANY LIMITED, as aforesaid, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide apparatus for application to
kitcheners and ranges, which is simple in construction, inexpensive in cost and
by which the heating of water can be rapidly effected.
The apparatus consists of a flat hollow body, in shape similar to a fire tile,
made of any suitable material and of a size to fit the kitchener or range to which
it is to be applied.
The hollow body or fire tile has three apertures to which the flow and return
pipes and a sediment draw off pipe are connected. These apertures are prefer-
ably arranged near the end of one side of the hollow body and in line one above
the other.
The apparatus is fitted along the side of the oven or ovens or sham side or sides
of a kitchener or range or at the back of fire box when so desired, and is con-
nected to the hot water circulating pipes for the bath and house supply.
The
flow pipe is connected to the aperture situated at or about the top of the hollow
body or fire tile, and the return pipe to the aperture at or near the middle part
thereof. The third aperture to which a draw off pipe is connected for the
removal of sediment or for emptying the apparatus when desired, is situated at
the lower part of the hollow body or fire tile.

We, WILLIAM HENRY BUSHELL, Managing Director of the Tubular Bath Boiler
Company Limited, of 184 Gray's Inn Road, in the County of London, and
THE TUBULAR BATH BOILER COMPANY LIMITED, as aforesaid, 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 has for its object to provide apparatus for application to
kitcheners and ranges, which is simple in construction, inexpensive in cost and
by which the heating of water can be rapidly effected.

page_text: The apparatus consists of a flat hollow body, in shape similar to a fire tile,
made of any suitable material and of a size to fit the kitchener or range to which
it is to be applied.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of our water heating
apparatus; Figs. 2 and 3 are sections taken on the lines 22 and 3 3 respectively.
The hollow body or fire tile A has three apertures a, b and c to which the flow
and return pipes and a sediment draw off pipe are respectively connected. These
apertures are preferably arranged near the end of one side of the hollow body
and in line one above the other as shown.
The apparatus is fitted along the side of the oven or ovens or sham side or sides
of a kitchener or range or at the back of fire box when so desired, and is con-
nected to the hot circulating pipes for the bath and house supply. The flow pipe
is connected to the aperture a situated at or about the top of the hollow body or
fire tile, and the return pipe to the aperture 6 at or near the middle part thereof.
The third aperture c, to which a draw off pipe is connected for the removal of
sediment or for emptying the apparatus when desired, is situated at the lower
part of the hollow body or fire tile.
If desired the edges a¹ may be bevelled instead of being rounded off as shown
and the shape of the apparatus may be otherwise altered to suit requirements.
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;
Apparatus for heating water for kitcheners and ranges consisting of a hollow
body approximately of the shape of a fire tile, and having three apertures adapted
to receive and to be connected to the ends of the flow and return pipes of a hot.
water circulating system, and to a sediment draw off pipe substantially as
described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
