PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Boilers for Washing.
I, JACOB BROWN, of 2, Downing Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Special Apparatus Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;--
This invention relates to improvements in boilers for washing and has for its
object to provide means whereby a continuous circulation of the water and
cleansing agent through the boiler and articles to be washed is obtained and
thereby the washing accelerated and a great deal of labourous work obviated.
In carrying out my invention, I employ two vessels of suitable size and shape,
one inside the other, in such a manner as to leave a space all round the inner
vessel for the circulation of the water and cleansing agent through the said
space and inner vessel.
The inner vessel is kept in position in the outer one by being formed externally
with bulges or projections bearing against the interior of the outer vessel or
vice versa.
To facilitate the circulation of the water and cleansing agent from the inner
vessel through the said space or outer vessel into the inner vessel again a suitable
number of holes are formed near the bottom in the side of the inner vessel and
to prevent the articles under operation in the latter obstructing the said holes, I
employ above the same a perforated bottom placed upon a distance stud employed
on the bottom of the outer vessel.
Upon the top of the outer vessel I employ a hollow lid furnished with an inlet
closed by a plug and with an outlet or tap arranged over a spout formed on the
outer vessel over perforations in the latter.
This lid serves as a lid for the outer vessel and as a hot water supply cistern
for the said vessel and automatically compensates for the evaporation of the
water that takes place in the said vessels during the boiling or washing operation,
the cold water poured into the lid cistern being heated by the steam in the vessels
impingeing upon the bottom of the lid or cistern.
The said outlet or tap and spout together form a sight feed and the latter
serves also to indicate the level of water in the vessels and which may be easily
regulated by the said tap.
In order to permit of drawing off a portion of the dirty water from time to
time or emptying the boiler completely, an outlet furnished with a tap is formed
at the bottom of the said outer vessel.
The boiler described may be built into brickwork or provided with legs, used
separately and heated by coal or gas or any other suitable fuel.

I, JACOB BROWN, of 2, Downing Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Special Apparatus 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 boilers for washing and has for its
object to provide means whereby a continuous circulation of the water and
cleansing agent through the boiler and articles to be washed is obtained and
thereby the washing accelerated and a great deal of work obviated.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
and showing a vertical section of a boiler constructed in accordance with my in-
vention.
In carrying out my invention, I employ two vessels a & b of suitable size and
shape, one inside the other, in such a manner as to leave a space c all round the
inner vessel a for the circulation of the water and cleansing agent through the
said space and inner vessel.
The inner vessel a is kept in position in the outer vessel b by being formed
externally with bulges or projections a bearing against the interior of the outer
vessel b, or vice versa.
To facilitate the circulation of the water and cleansing agent from the inner
vessel through the space c or outer vessel 6 into the inner vessel again, a suitable
number of holes a are formed near the bottom in the side of the inner vessel a
and to prevent the articles under operation in the latter obstructing the said holes,
I employ above the same a perforated bottom d placed upon a distance stud c
employed on the bottom of the vessel b.
Upon the top of the outer vessel b.I employ a hollow lid f furnished with an
inlet fclosed by a plug g and with an outlet or tap h arranged over a spout i
formed on the outer vessel b over perforations 6' in the latter.
This lid serves as a lid for. the outer vessel b and as a hot water supply cistern
for the said vessel and automatically compensates for the evaporation of the water
that takes place in the vessels a, b during the boiling or washing operation, the
cold water poured into the lid cistern f being heated by the steam in the vessels a,
impingeing upon the bottom of the lid or cistern f.
The said outlet or tap and spout together form a sight-feed and the latter serves
also to indicate the level of water in the vessels and which may be easily regulated
by the said tap.
In order to permit of drawing off a portion of the dirty water from time to
time or emptying the boiler completely, an outlet 62 furnished with a tap k is
formed at the bottom of the outer vessel b.
The boiler described may be built into brick work or provided with legs as
shown in the drawing, used separately and heated by coal or gas or any other
suitable fuel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
1st. In and connected with boilers for washing, the combination of an inner
and outer vessel a, b having a space c between the same all round the inner
vessel a, the outer vessel 6 being formed with an outlet 62 and the inner vessel a
with holes a which permit the circulation of the water and cleansing agent

page_text: through the articles under operation from the inner to the outer vessel, all sub-
stantially as set forth.
2nd. In combination with the vessels a, b, the hollow lid f serving as a lid
for the outer vessel 6 and a hot water supply cistern for the said vessels, all
substantially as set forth.
3rd. In combination with the inner vessel a, the perforated false bottom d,
all substantially as set forth.
4th. In combination with the lid f and the outer vessel b, a tap hand-spout i
respectively forming together a sight feed and water level indicator, all substan-
tially as set forth.
