PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Flue Connector for Chimney Shafts.
I, JOHANN LÖHMER, Builders Agent, of Homburg (Pfalz) in the Empire of
Germany do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to improve the 'connecting of stove flues and like
flues or pipes to the brick chimney shafts of the buildings in which such stoves or
equivalent devices are fitted.
Heretofore it has been usual to knock away sufficient of the brickwork and
simply pass the end of the last section of the flue through or into the opening, the
surrounding spaces being filled with some kind of plaister. This however often
proves unsightly and makes a very inefficient joint easily loosened.
The improved flue connector consists of a short length of cylindrical pipe forming
a socket having on its outer edge a flange which lies in a plane inclined to the axis
of the cylinder. The whole may be best made of cast iron, and is intended to be
built into the opening made in the shaft so that its axis is inclined in an upward
direction, or if desired also inclined to the right or left. This connector firmly
secured in the shaft forms a socket for reception of the last section of the flue
which is to lead into the respective shaft.
Dated this 22nd day of August 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Flue Connector for Chimney Shafts.
I, Johann LöHMER, Builder's Agent of Homburg (Pfalz) in the Empire of
Germany 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 :-
The object of this invention is to improve the connecting of stove flues and like
flues or pipes to the brick chimney shafts of the buildings in which such stoves or
equivalent devices are fitted.
Heretofore it has been usual to knock away sufficient of the brickwork and
simply pass the end of the last section of the flue through or into the opening, the
surrounding spaces being filled with some kind of plaister. This however often
proves unsightly and makes a very inefficient joint easily loosened.
The improved flue connector consists of a short length of cylindrical pipe forming
a socket having on its outer edge a flange which lies in a plane inclined to the axis
of the cylinder. The whole may be best made of cast iron and is intended to be
built into the opening made in the shaft so that its axis is inclined in an upward
direction or if desired also inclined to the right or left. This connector firmly
secured in the shaft forms a socket for reception of the last section of the flue which
is to lead into the respective shaft.
A vertical section of a chimney shaft with the inserted connector is shown in
Fig. 1 of the annexed drawing and a horizontal section is shown in Fig. 2.
a is the cylindrical socket part and the inclined flange thereon.
The separate rosette usually placed round the flue at its entrance into the brick-
work may be omitted when this connection is used.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
A flue connector for chimney shafts consisting of a cylindrical socket piece a
with a flange the plane of which is inclined to the axis of the cylindical part a for
the purpose set forth.
