PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Heating of Boilers for Kitchen Ranges.
I, SAMUEL WILSON Riversley Rothsay Road Bedford in the County of
Bedford Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to the heating of boilers for kitchen ranges, and has for its
object to heat them more uniformly than heretofore, at a less cost and in a shorter
time, besides making them more durable, as the sediment will not have a tendency
of accumulating in one part of the interior. The boilers can also be more easily
fixed and removed.
In carrying out my invention I put the boiler in a chair or casing made of metal,
fire-clay, cement, or brick-work; after placing it in position, I put in the front a
plate that will lap over the top and side edges of the boiler, to make the casing
retain the heat, leaving the front of the boiler exposed in the fire-place; then
put on a top plate with an opening at the back to allow the heat, after acting on
the front, underneath, and around the boiler chamber or furnace, to escape into the
back boiler flue.
The great advantages of my invention over those now in use are, instead of
only exposing three sides of the boiler, or part of three sides, to the heat, while
the other three take away the heat, I utilise the whole surface of the boiler for
heating the water; it will also be more durable, more easily fixed or removed as
no brick-work will be required if the casing or furnace is made of metal, fire clay,
or cement. To clean out any accumulation of soot from the sides and top of the
boiler, I insert two soot-doors in the top plate, where the soot can be swept to the
back, from which it can be removed. Kitchen boilers have before been fixed in
casings, but not in the way I now propose.

Improvements in the Heating of Boilers for Kitchen Ranges.
SAMUEL WILSON, Riversley, Rothsay Road Bedford in the County of
Bedford, Gentleman. I 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 :—
My invention relates to the heating of boilers for kitchen ranges and has for its
object to heat them more uniformly than heretofore, at a less cost and in a
shorter time besides making them more durable as the sediment will not have a
tendency of accumulating in one part of the interior. These boilers can also be
more easily fixed and removed.
In carrying out my invention, I put the boiler in a chair or casing of metal, fire-
clay, cement or brickwork. After placing it in position, I put in the front a plate
that will lap over the top and side edges of the boiler, to make the casing heat
proof, leaving the front of the boiler exposed in the fireplace. Then I put on a
top plate with an opening at the back to allow the heat after acting on the front,
underneath and around the boiler chamber or furnace to escape into the back
boiler flue.

page_text: The great advantages of my invention over those now in use are, instead of
only exposing three sides of the boiler or part of three sides, to the heat while
the other three take away the heat, I utilize the whole surface of the boiler for
heating the water. It will also be more durable, more easily fixed or removed,
as no brickwork will be required if the casing is made of metal, fire-clay or
cement.
To more fully explain my invention I herewith give drawings and refer to the
¡figures and letters marked thereon.
Figure No. 1-is a section of the casing A. B. C. D. H. and the boiler G;
I find metal to be the best to make the sides D, top A, and end B, or ends B. C. of
the casing, not only for construction, but for general use. I prefer a fire tile or
tiles H. to form the bottom of the casing, the back can be of metal, or as will
⚫often be convenient of brickwork. For convenience, I cast lugs I. I. on the sides
of the casing to support the boiler G; that is two on each side and so arranged
that they will not interfere with the cleaning out of the boiler flue O. When
convenient I place the boiler damper E, at the back on the top of the casing A,
so as to retain as much of the heat in the casing as possible. The pipes K. K.
can be taken out of the top, back or sides of the boiler and casing.
Figure No. 2 is a plan of the casing A. C. D. and boiler G, the man-hole L,
and the cover F, on the casing, made loose so as to easily get to the man-hole.
The top of the casing A. A. is made of two plates for convenience in fixing and
.removal when required.
Figure No. 3 is a front view showing the boiler G, the lugs I. I. on which it
rests; also the front plate of the casing B. B. that laps a little over the boiler at
the sides and top, and with a little red lead or other cement makes the front
air proof. The lugs M. M. are cast on the sides of the casing to keep the boiler in
position. Though I have only shown a rectangled boiler and casing, I do not
confine myself to any shape.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, I declare what I claim is―
A range boiler fixed in a metal or other fire-proof casing substantially, in the
manner and for the purpose herein before described.
