PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Kitchen Ranges for Producing
Circulation of Water.
I, THOMAS JOHN CONSTANTINE, of 61 Fleet Street, City of London,
Manufacturer of the "Treasure Cooking Range," do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :―
This invention has for object producing circulation of water in the cisterns or
tanks of kitchen ranges.
For the purpose of my invention, I affix within an ordinary water cistern of a
kitchen range, a couple of descending pipes, one being long to reach to near the
bottom, and the other terminating near the top. Both these pipes are in connection
with a horizontal well or trap in which there is a division plate. This horizontal
well or trap is partly within the side oven and partly in the flueway over the oven
but not to impede the passage of the products of combustion, which however lick
in contact and impart heat to it in conjunction with heat from the oven itself.
The well or trap may vary in form and construction according to the kind of
range the invention is to be fitted.
The shorter pipe in the cistern has a hole straight through it for the passage of
steam, if any be generated, this acting as a relief valve to prevent the spluttering
of the water.
In some cases, the well or trap has ribs in the flue way to form channels for
breaking up the products of combustion as they pass along.
By this invention, water in side cisterns of kitchen ranges can be readily boiled,
and the boiling can be regulated by suitable valves, such as those known as the
hit-and-miss, or sliders.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Kitchen Ranges for Producing
Circulation of Water.
I, THOMAS JOHN CONSTANTINE of 61 Fleet Street, City of London,
Manufacturer of the Treasure Cooking Range 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 has for object producing circulation of water in the cistern or
tanks of kitchen ranges.
For the purpose of my invention which is illustrated in the accompanying
drawings,
Figure 1 being a sectional side view of a stove with my appliance fitted in
position;
Figure 2 a sectional plan on the line 1-2 of Figure 1 ;
Figure 3 a back view of my water heater and circulater and Figure 4 a section
ol same.

page_text: Figure 5 is a top view of a stove showing my water heater and circulater in
plan.
I affix within an ordinary water cistern A of a kitchen range, a couple of
descending pipes B, C, one C being long to reach to near the bottom, and the
other B terminating near the top.
Both these pipes BC are in connection with a horizontal well or trap D in which
there is a division plate E. This horizontal well or trap D is partly within the
side oven H and partly in the flue way G over the oven but not to impede the
passage of the products of combustion, which however lick in contact and impart
heat to it in conjunction with heat from the oven itself.
The well or trap D may vary in form and construction according to the kind of
range to which the invention is to be fitted.
The shorter pipe B in the cistern has a hole a straight through it for the passage
of steam if any be generated, this acting as a relief valve to prevent the spluttering
of the water.
In some cases the well or trap has ribs F in the flue way G to form channels for
breaking up the products of combustion as they pass along.
By this invention water inside cisterns of kitchen ranges can be readily boiled
and the boiling can be regulated by suitable valves, such as those known as the
.hit-and-miss, or sliders.
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. The improvement connected with kitchen ranges for producing circulation of
water, as described and shown on the annexed drawings.
2. Providing kitchen ranges with a well or trap having a partition therein, the
well or trap being in connection with the ordinary water cistern of the range by
-one short and one long pipe for producing circulation of water in the cistern by
heating the water in the well substantially as set forth.
