PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Coverings for Preventing the Radiation or
Transmission of Heat.
I SAMUEL EDWIN MORLEY of the Firm of S. E. Morley & Co., King Cross,
Halifax, in the County of York, Non-conducting Composition Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct coverings for steam pipes, cylinders,
boilers or other suitable surfaces for preventing the radiation or the transmission of
heat therefrom or thereto,-in round or other suitable sections or segments in such a
manner that when covering a joint the said covering adapts itself to the same without
having to cut away the covering to let in the joint, causing a structural weakness
consequently loss of heat by radiation and so, not as effective as my improved
method.
I form ny covering in circular or other sectional segments mounted upon a
suitable canvas backing, such covering may consist of asbestos or other suitable
non-conducting material, around the inner periphery of these segments, I attach a
covering of suitable flexible material, preferably of slag wool or silicate of cotton
on account of its great non-conductive properties which bed against the pipe, so
that when applied to the pipe or other body, the covering is compressed where a
joint or other uneven surface is met with, but expands and beds against the other
part of the pipe in a firm and efficient manner. By this means the thickness of the
covering is maintained the entire length of the pipe irrespective of joints or other
irregularities upon same.

I SAMUEL EDWIN MORLEY of the Firm of S. E. Morley & Co. King Cross,
Halifax in the County of York, Non-conducting Composition Manufacturers, 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 my invention is to construct coverings for steam pipes, flanges,
cylinders, boilers, or other suitable surfaces for preventing the radiation or the trans-
mission of heat therefrom or thereto, in round or other suitable sections or segments,
and in a more efficient manner than used hitherto; the transmission of heat depending
on the porosity or density of the material used in contact thereto, we intend to fix a
ده

page_text: loose flexible material in the interior of the round or other suitable sections, so as to
come in contact with the surface to be covered, this having the advantage of being
the best non-conducting medium, with the greater advantage of quickness of applica-
tion over other similar coverings, fitting perfectly the surface to be covered, and also
any irregular surfaces, without having to cut away any material and thus causing
structural weakness and loss of heat by radiation at the parts so cut.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved construction of coverings for
preventing the radiation and transmission of heat.
I form my covering A in circular or other sectional segments mounted upon a
suitable backing B, such covering may consist of asbestos or other suitable non-
conducting materials, around the inner periphery of these segments I attach a
covering of suitable flexible material C, preferably of slag wool, or silicate of cotton
or asbestos fibre, on account of their great non-conducting properties, or other fibrous
material unaffected by heat, the whole being preferably hell together by silica-soda
paste, wire, or other means. This covering when applied to pipes or other bodies
adapts itself, or is compressed where a joint or other uneven surface is met with, and
expands and beds against the whole surface of the pipe cylinder, boiler, and the like,
in a firm and efficient manner.
By this means the thickness of the covering is maintained the entire length of the
pipe, irrespective of joints or other irregularities upon the same.
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 :-
1. In coverings for steam pipes, cylinders, boilers, or other surfaces, for preventing
the radiation or transmission of heat, the use and employment (around the inner
bearing surface of the outer covering, and in contact with the steam pipe or other
surface,) of a suitable non-conducting fibrous or flexible material C, as and for the
purposes described.
