PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Heating or Bolling Fluids for
Cooking, Washing, Bathing, and General Purposes.
WILLIAM JOHN HALL of 16 Market Place Saint Helens in the County of Lancaster
Architect and Surveyor do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN APPARATUS FOR HEATING OR BOILING FLUIDS FOR OOOKING WASHING
BATHING AND GENERAL PURPOSES to be as follows, namely :-
That by joining or connecting an ordinary wrought or cast iron steel copper or
other metal kitchen scullery washhouse or other boiler to parts of an ordinary bath
tub or other utensil by means of two flow pipes or tubes of any desired length or
material one of such pipes or tubes being fitted to the lower portion of the boiler
bath tub or other utensil and the other pipe or tube being fitted to the upper part
thereof and by means, when required for the purpose of accelerating the heating
or boiling of the water or other liquids, of attaching a cast or wrought iron kinked or
coiled metal tube or pipe to the lowest outside part of the hoiler and constructing or
carrying same around the part of the boiler in contact with or exposed to the heat of
the fire furnace or other heating appliance and by connecting such kinked or coiled
pipe or tube by means of a pipe or tube of any desired length or material to the bath
tub or other utensil whereby I obtain a regular circulation of the water or other
fluids into and from the hoiler bath tub or other utensil and an expeditions and
economic mode of obtaining hot or boiling water or other fluids in such quantity as
may be required for the foregoing purposes or any of them but such circulation may
be obtained in a lesser degree without the attachment of the kinked or coiled pipe
or tube.
The pipes or tubes are to be fitted with stop taps cocks valves plugs or caps as may
be required for the purpose of drawing off the water or other fluids or to disconnect
at will the boiler from the bath tub or other utensil and for the better forming con-
nections the pipes or tubes are to be provided with bosses flush or sunk on the
interior faces and projecting to receive the collars or flanges on the outsides thus
allowing screw or bolt heads nuts or the like to be used to fix or fasten the connections
so as the same be flush with the inner surfaces of the boiler bath tub or other utensil.
The boiler bath tub or other utensil to which this Provisional Specification refors
may be built fixed or fitted or set in the manner usually followed in such matters
with the addition if required that the kinked or coiled pipe may have a connection
with the flue of the fire furnace or other heating appliance for the purpose of being
used on disconnection with the bath tub or other utensil such disconnection being
controlled or regulated by damper and frame or other suitable means.

Improvements in Apparatus for Heating or Boiling Fluids for
Cooking, Washing, Bathing, and General Purposes.
I WILLIAM JOHN HALL of 16 Market Place Saint Helens in the County of
Lancaster Architect and Surveyor 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:-
That by joining or connecting an ordinary wrought or cast iron steel copper or other
metal kitchen scullery washhouse or other boiler to parts of an ordinary bath tub or other

page_text: utensil by means of flow and return pipes or tubes of any desired diameter length or
material one of such pipes or tubes being fitted to the lower portions of the
bath tub or other utensil and boiler for flow And the other pipe or tube fitted to
the upper parts thereof for return of fluids And by means when required for the
purpose of accelerating the heating or boiling of the water or other liquids of
attaching a cast or wrought kinked or coiled metal pipe or tube to the lowest outside
parts of the bath tub or other utensil and boiler for How, preferably, as regards the
bath tub or other utensil, to the end or portion thereof furthest removed from the
boiler such kinked or coiled pipe or tube being carried round or under the part
of the boiler in contact with or exposed to the heat of the fire furnace or other
heating appliance And by connecting such kinked or coiled pipe or tube by means
of a return pipo or tube of any desired diameter length or material the bath
tub or other utensil, preferably at the end or portion of the bath tub or other
utensil nearest the boiler and where possible alongside of the other return pipe
or tube whereby 1 obtain a regular circulation of the water or other fluids into and
from the boiler Lath tab or other utensil and an expeditions and eronomical mode
of obtaining hot or boiling water or other fluids in such quantities as may be required
for the foregoing purposes or any of them but such circulation may be obtained in a
lesser degree without the attachment of the kinked or coiled pipe or tube
And in
the case of raw or manufactured fibres textile fabric or other raw or manufactured
matter or material being placed in the bath tub or other utensil for the purpose of
bring cleansed or purified the dirt foul unclean or extraneous matter contained therein
is separated and by gentle or urged.circulation regulated by opening or closing the
furnace door damper or both carried or gravitated from the hath tub or other
utensil towards and into the boiler to be skimmed off by hand or ejected therefrom
by the heated or boiling water or liquids but to avoid this skimming an overflow is
provided and fitted in boiler at least half an inch above the orifice of either or both
of the return pipes from boiler to bath tub or other utensil to convey such dirt foul
unclean or extraneous matter as the same accumulates by means of a pipe tube or
channel into a vessel of any kind to be saved for fertilizing or other purposes or conveyed
into an adjacent stink trap gully or drain.
The pipes or tubes may be fitted with stop taps cocks valves plugs caps grate or
fence guards to openings of orifices of flow or return pipes or tubes as may be
required for the purpose of drawing off the water or other fluids or to disconnect at
will the boiler from the bath tub or other utensil and preventing foreign matter from
entering and obstructing any of the pipes and for the better forming connections the
pipes or tubes are to be provided with bosses boxes or wells flushed or sunk on the
interior faces and projecting to receive the collars or flanges on the outsides thas
allowing screw or bolt heads nuts or the like to be used to fix or fasten the con-
nections so as the same will be flush with or no obstruction to the inner surfaces
of the boiler bath tub or other utensil.
The boiler bath tub or other utensil to which this Specification refers may be
built fixed or fitted or set in and encased or not after the manner usually followed
in such matters with materials either of stone brick timber iron or other substance
and of such form or design which taste or necessity may dictate or in groups or
numbers for common washhouse or other purposes as shewn by drawings herewith
with the addition if required that the kinked or coiled pipe may be provided with a
stop cock and relief or escape pipe or tube which may or may not have attached a
metal or flexible tube for vaporizing or other purposes and may have a connection
with the flue of the fire furnace or heating appliance if required for the purpose of
being used on disconnection with the bath tub or other utensil such disconnection
being controlled or regulated by damper and frame or other suitable means And
in the case of a number of boilers baths tubs or other utensils being fitted or
placed for the purposes of a common wasbhouse or for general purposes they may
each if required be provided with separate kinked or coiled pipes and the heat of the
furnaces conveyed into a common flue to a proper chimney.
