page_text: LETTERS PATENT to David Jones, of Inverness, in the County of
Inverness, in Scotland, Mechanical Engineer, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR FORCING IN LIQUIDS OR FLUIDS, APPLICABLE
TO FORCING INFLAMMABLE FLUID OR LIQUID INTO FURNACES OF VARIOUS KINDS
AM VADIONS DES WHETHER OF KIND OR DEGREE."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said David Jones at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
30th January 1873.
I, DAVID JONES, of Inverness, in the County of Inverness, in Scotland,
Mechanical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention.
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR FORCING IN LIQUIDS OR FLUIDS, APPLICABLE
TO FORCING INFLAMMABLE FLUID OR LIQUID INTO FURNACES OF VARIOUS KINDS AND
AT VARIOUS PRESSURES, WHETHER OF KIND OR DEGREE," to be as follows:-
This Invention is chiefly for utilizing inflammable fluids or liquids to
economisc fucl, and can be used with or without any other combustible
matter. However, I prefer the use of a pressure of steam or air. The

page_text: fluid or liquid is forced into a furnace by the following means, namely,
a pipe or passage for steam or air within a pipe or passage for fluid or
liquid, outside of which is a pipe or passage for air; these are worked in
connection with proper stop cocks or valves.
Any or the whole of the above pipes or passages can be changed in
position or can be used without the outside pipe or passage, and different
sizes can be made use of.
This apparatus is worked by bringing a jet of steam (if worked by
steam) from the boiler to the apparatus which is placed in front of the
furnace, with the nozzle pointing into the furnace. A tank containing
the inflammable fluid or liquid can be placed in any convenient place, a
pipe from it conducted to the apparatus only is needed. When steam
is put on it draws the liquid to the apparatus, it is then forced into the
furnace, thus producing a large fierce flame.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said David Jones in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 30th July 1873.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, DAVID
JONES, of Inverness, in the County of Inverness, in Scotland, Mechanical
Engineer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Thirtieth day of January, in tho
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, in
the thirty-sixth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and suc-
cessors, give and grant unto me, the said David Jones, Her special
licence that I, the said David Jones, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said David Jones, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, usc, excrcise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS
FOR FORCING IN LIQUIDS OR FLUIDS, APPLICABLE TO FORCING INFLAMMABLE FLUID OR
LIQUID INTO FURNACES OF VARIOUS KINDS AND AT VARIOUS PRESSURES, WHETHER OF

page_text: KIND OR DEGREE," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
David Jones, my exccutors or administrators, by an instrument in writing
under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said David Jones, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
This Invention is chiefly for utilizing inflammable fluids or liquids to
economise fuel, and can be used with or without any other combustible
matter. However, I prefer the use of a pressure of steam or air. The
fluid or liquid is forced into a furnace by the following means, namely,
a pipe or passage for steam or air within a pipe or passage for fluid or
liquid, outside of which is a pipe or passage for air; these are worked in
connection with proper stop cocks or valves.
Any or the whole of the above pipes or passages can be changed in
position, or can be used without the outside pipe or passage, and different
sizes can be made use of.
This apparatus is worked by bringing a jet of steam (if worked by
steam) from the boiler to the apparatus which is placed in front of the
furnace, with the nozzle pointing into the furnace. A tank containing
the inflammable fluid or liquid can be placed in any convenient place,
and a pipe from it conducted only to the apparatus is needed. When
steam is put on it draws the liquid to the apparatus, and then it is
forced into the furnace, thus producing a large fierce flame.
The nature of the said Invention I have thus herein-before par-
ticularly described and ascertained, and now in further compliance with
the aforesaid condition in the said Letters Patent contained I proceed to
particularly describe and ascertain in what manner the same is to be
performed or carried out in practice, for which purpose I shall refer to
the Drawing accompanying this Specification, it being understood that
the foregoing description is to be resorted to for the better exemplification
of my said Invention, if necessary.

page_text: DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING.
The Drawing shows a sectional elevation of my Invention, and how
the liquid or fluid is forced into a furnace.
In the said Drawing, A is the pipe or passage for steam or air; Bis
the pipe or passage for fluid or liquid; C is the pipe or passage for air; 5
D is tho stop cock or valve for regulating the supply of steam or air to
pipe or passage A; E is the stop cock or valve for regulating the
supply of fluid or liquid to pipe or passage B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and
object of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be 1
performed or put in practice, I hereby declare that I claim the herein-
described Invention of "Improvements in Apparatus for Forcing-in
Liquids or Fluids applicable to Forcing Inflammable Fluid or Liquid
into Furnaces of Various Kinds and at Various Pressures, whether of
Kind or Degree," as the same is herein-before described and illustrated 1
by the Drawing accompanying these Presents.
In witness whereof, I, the said David Jones, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-eighth day of July, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three.
Witness,
GEO. W. REID,
Inverness.
