I, WILLIAM DEIGHTON, of Stourton House, Wakefield Road, Leeds, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to certain improvements in vertical steam generators and
consists of or in the combination of a vertical sectional flue or fire-box with an
inverted cone or similarly shaped shell or casing, the construction providing a
gradually increased water space from the lower to the upper portion of fire-box.
The fire-box may be circular, in cross section, or of many other shapes, may be
corrugated, ribbed, or be of other sections longitudinally or horizontally to its axis,
and may have cross tubes through sanie if desired. The sides of the shell or casing
for some distance above the crown or roof of its fire-box may be made parallel.
Dated this 14th day of August 1896.

I, WILLIAM DEIGHTON, of Stourton House, Wakefield Road, Leeds, 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:-
My invention relates to certain improvements in vertical steam generators and
consists of or in the combination of a vertical sectional flue or fire-box with an inverted
cone or similarly shaped shell or casing, the construction providing a gradually
increased water space from the lower to the upper portion of fire-box. The fire-box
may be circular, in cross section, or of many other shapes, may be corrugated ribbed
or be of other section longitudinally or horizontally to its axis, and may have cross
tubes through same if desired. The sides of the shell or casing for some distance
above the crown or roof of its fire-box may be made parallel.
To clearly illustrate my invention I show some of the forms which it may take in
the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a generator constructed according to my
invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view shewing a modification and
Fig. 3 is a plan of same on line -2.
In Fig. 1 is illustrated a boiler or generator in which a represents the vertical flue
or fire box having corrugations 6 horizontally to its axis and cross tubes cc through
same, communicating with the water space on each side which space is bounded by
the inverted cone shaped portion d of the casing the upper part e of which has vertical
027

page_text: sides as shown. A flue or chimney f for the escape of the products of combustion is
attached to the crown of the fire box, said chimney passing out of the crown g of
the casing.
h
The grate may be carried by a ring i attached to the base plate or foundation j.
In Figs. 2 and 3 the fire box a has corrugations & which may be regularly spaced
as shown or irregularly spaced or of any desired arrangement or shape such box
having the water tubes c¹ in same communicating with the water space at each end.
The upper part e in this case has sloping sides.
I do not confine myself to the exact construction of parts shown as they may differ
without departing from my invention but
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a steam generator the combination with a vertical corrugated or ribbed
flue or fire box of an inverted cone or similarly shaped shell or casing substantially
as described.
2. In a steam generator the combination with a vertical corrugated or ribbed
flue or fire box having tubes through same of an inverted cone or similarly shaped
shell or casing substantially as described.
3. In a steam generator the combination with a vertical corrugated or ribbed
flue or fire box of an inverted cone or similarly shaped shell or casing having its
upper portion provided with vertical sides substantially as described.
4. The improved constructions and arrangements of steam generators substantially
as described and illustrated in the drawings.
