PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Set Pans or Coppers used for Domestic and other
Purposes.
I ISAAC RUSHTON of Rosse Street Foundry, Brownroyd Bradford Yorks. Iron
Founder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An iron upright portable cylinder with fire grate and pan or copper together
with baffle plate the segment of a circle cast in or fitted to at the opposite to the
fire door for the better distribution of heat over the surface of pan or copper instead
of the present brick or stone structure.
I claim that my invention takes up less room and being portable can be placed in
any room in a building and removed at will. The baffle plate in its distribution of
heat causes the water or other liquids to boil quicker and consequently effects a
considerable saving in fuel.
I also claim that it will be advantageous to householders not possessing the old
fixture as it can become their own property absolute it not being attached
permanently to the freehold.
The pan or copper and firegrate being seperate from the cylinder can be easily
removed for repairs or replacement.
