HEATING WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
Year: 1885

page_text: WILLIAM JOHN RIGHTON 376 Euston Rd London Metal Worker do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for HEATING WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS to be
as follows:-
I contruct a single or double metal cylinder inside of which is fitted a series of
conical chimnies one to top of other the water to be heated is allowed to trickle
over these conical bodies and partley conducted by water passages into dome shaped
hollow chambers fitted one on top of the other and inside the conical chimnies
before described and back again to the exterior of the conical chimnies and finally
out at a spout or cock provided for that purpose.
The heat is applied at bottom of apparatus and taking an upward course strikes
against a inner chamber and is directed on to the inner serfice of conical chimney
and finally out at top.

I WILLIAM JOHN RIGHTON of 376 Euston Rd in the County of Middlesex Metal
Worker 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:-
I construct an apparatus for instantaneously heating water with a double metal
casing one within the other so as to form a water course betwen and in the space
betwen outer side of inner casing I fit a number of flat chambers simular in plan
to casing and in such a manner that the water to be heated flows over the surface
of each and passes from one to the other and into a perforated division and is
conducted into a ring shaped perforated spray which disperses the water over the
exterior of a conical shaped chimney and finally out at a spout fixed at bottom of
the apparatus.
Gas oil spirits or any heating substance may be used.
Preferably I employ burners adapted for gas in which case a number of jets are
screwed into a metal font or box which is placed at the bottom of the conical
chimney before described The gas cock is so arranged that the leaver of same
crosses the leaver of the water valve so that the gas cannot be turned full on till
the water valve is opened and the pilot or bye pass cock is also turned on to which
is fitted a guard for the purpose of keeping the pilot cock full on so that the light
from same may reach the inner burners connected in font.
The apparatus may be circular or any shape in plan and in inner chambers open
or closed in at top.
The outer casing is fastened by screws and may be easily taken off leaving the
inner chambers exposed.
I also employ two screwed sockets one on either sid of apparatus so that the
outlet spout can be fitted to either hand and a screw cap can be fitted on the
opposite side to the spout.
In the annexed drawing I have shewn the way in which I prefer to construct
the apparatus.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section and Fig. 2 a side clivation the other figures shew the
plan of the principle chambers.
The valve A Fig. 1 receives the water to be beated through which is passes
betwen the inner and outer cases B and is conducted by tube C into the top or
first chamber D spreading over the surface and conducted over by the tubes E
from one to another and into the perforated division plate contained in chamber F
and from thence into the ring shaped perforated chamber G and down the exterior
of conical chimney H and passes out at spout I. J is the gas cock which supples
the metal font & burners L. M is the pilot cock attached to main gas cock J which
should be lighted before turning on the main cock, and after opening the water
valve A. The hot air passes up striking the conical chimney H again striking
the hollow chamber F passing under and over the chambers D and through the

shew the course of the
hot air and the smaller arrows the course of water from inlet valve A to outlet
spout N.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of ny said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declair that what
I claim is
First the double casing which may be taken off to allow of cleaning or repairing
the inner chambers.
Second the flat chambers placed one above the other with the air spaces on
opposite sides.
Third the hollow shaped chamber with the inner perforated division plate.
Fourth the ring shaped perforated chamber connected to the conical chimney.
Fifth the reversable outlet spout and overflow above.
Sixth the check action of gas cock pilot cock and water valve.
Seventh the general construction of apparatus for heating water substantially
as shewn as herein before described and illustrated in the annexed drawing.
