Improvements in Washing Furnaces, Sinks, and Baths.
Year: 1897

page_text: I, ALBERT ERNEST NEWTON, of 72, Summer Row, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My invention has for its object “improvements in washing furnaces, sinks and
baths by which I provide an article combining all three requirements in one while
the flue, waste, and drip, are so arranged that no grease from the sink can in any
way reach the furnace or bath and the whole article is complete portable and com-
pact in itself.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the washing furnace of a suitable
shape to act as a bath the shape I prefer being half round longitudinally with
vertical sides in cross section and this I mount on suitable supports or legs for no
top to be sink high. Under this combination furnace and bath I provide the fire
hole and bars which I prefer to form in one with the furnace and having a pipe
connection at rear to which an ordinary stove pipe can readily be attached to carry
away the smoke from the fire. In one corner of the furnace, I provide an overflow
pipe which may be formed by casting a partition in one corner of the bath. The
sink may be formed of a galvanized or enamelled iron or other tray having a waste
outlet at the same corner as that to the furnace, which waste outlet is made to
deposit the waste into the before mentioned overflow pipe. The sink is dished in
the ordinary way and is provided with an overhanging projection all round the out-
side to assist in preventing the grease from being splashed on the furnace.
A grid
may be provided to ledge across the sink and would be also made to act similarly
on the furnace & a side drainer may be hinged to the sink or furnace if so desired.
The waste from the furnace is connected to the overflow pipe so that only one waste
from the whole has to be conveyed to the gulley outside.

page_text: in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in washing furnaces sinks and baths
by which I provide an article combining all three requirements in one while the
flue waste and drip are so arranged that no grease from the sink can in anyway
reach the furnace or bath, and the whole article is complete portable and compact
in itself.
1 form the washing furnace of a suitable shape to act as a bath the shape I prefer
being half round longitudinally with vertical sides in cross section and this I mount
on suitable supports or legs for the top to be sink high. Under this combination
furnace and bath I provide the fire hole and bars which I prefer to form in one
with the furnace and having a pipe connection at rear to which an ordinary stove
pipe can readily be attached to carry away the smoke from the fire. In one corner
of the furnace I provide an overflow pipe which may be formed by casting a
partition in one corner of the bath. The sink may be formed of a galvanized or
enamelled iron tray having a waste outlet at the same. corner as that to the furnace
which waste outlet is made to deposit the waste water into the before mentioned
overflow pipe. The sink is dished in the ordinary way and is provided with an
overhanging projection all round the outside to assist in preventing the grease from
being splashed on the furnace. A grid may be provided to lodge across the sink
and would be also made to act similarly on the furnace and a side drainer may be
hinged to the sink or furnace if so desired. The waste from the furnace is connected
from the whole has to be conveyed to
to the overflow pipe so that only one waste
the gulley outside.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise I have appended hereto a sheet of drawings upon which I have fully
illustrated my said improvements.
Figure 1 is a view of my portable furnace with the sink removed.
Figure 2 is a view of the sink.
Figure 3 is a section through Figure 1 on the line X Y to a reduced scale.
Figure 4 is a plan of the furnace with the sink in position.
.
In carrying my invention into effect the washing furnace A is mounted upon the
supports E which form the sides of the fire-hole B with intermediate
firo bars and ash hole 62 for containing the fire for heating the
water in the body of the furnace A. A stove pipe connection is pro-
vided for connection with any suitable flue or the stove piping may be carried up
in the required position for conveying away the smoke. An overflow pipe to the
furnace is provided at a and the sink D which may be formed of galvanized or
enamelled iron and dished is provided with the waste pipe d' which is sufficiently
long to enter the overflow pipe a' and discharge the waste water from sink a
sufficient distance down the overflow pipe to prevent any of the
waste water from sink from getting into into the furnace. The waste a²
from furnace is connected with the overflow 'a' and is provided with
a suitable plug a³ which can be withdrawn for allowing the water
to pass from the furnace. The sink is provided with the flanges which
overhang the edges of the furnace and prevents any grease or dirt from entering
furnace.
may vary the shape of the sink and furnace without departing from the nature
of my invention and the furnace and fire box may be made in one piece or separately
while a ridge a³ may be formed around the outlet. al to enable waste water to be
poured down the waste when the sink D is off.
Having now particularly described and ascertained 'the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
