Year: 1879

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Frankland, of Chatburn, near Clitheroc, in the
County of Lancaster, Farmer, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
BOILERS OR APPARATUS FOR HEATING WATER."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Frankland at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 4th October 1879.
WILLIAM FRANKLAND, of Chatburn, near Clitheroe, in the County of Lancaster,
Farmer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOILERS OR APPLIANCES FOR HEATING WATER."
This Invention relates to improved appliances for heating water, and such
apparatus is designed mainly for domestic use.
Apparatus constructed according to this my said Invention comprises a side or L
kitchen boiler; the bottom of the fire grate is composed of, or there rests upon the
bars forming the bottom of the fire grate, a coiled pipe, one end of which is carried
vertically to the top of the boiler, the other end of the coiled pipes communicates
with the bottom or lower part of the boiler, and there is likewise a pipe and tap,
from which to draw water from the coiled pipe.
The coiled pipe may be of copper or iron, and its action is by way of the vertical
pipe to convey hot water and steam to the body of water in the boiler in addition
to the heat afforded the boiler from the fire as ordinary.

WILLIAM FRANKLAND, of Chatburn, near Clitheroe, in the County of Lancaster,
Farmer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOILERS OR APPARATUS FOR HEATING WATER,"
This Invention relates to improved appliances for heating water, and such
apparatus is designed mainly for domestic use.
Apparatus constructed according to this my said Invention comprises a side or L
kitchen boiler; the bottom of the fire grate is composed of, or there rests upon the
bars forming the bottom of the fire grate, a coiled pipe, one end of which is carried
vertically to the top of the boiler, the other end of the coiled pipes communicates
with the bottom or lower part of the boiler, and there is likewise a pipe and tap
from which to draw water from the coiled pipe.
The coiled pipe may be of copper or iron, and its action is by way of the vertical
pipe to convey hot water and steam to the body of water in the boiler in addition
to the heat afforded the boiler from the fire as ordinary.
Such being the nature and object of this my said Invention I will now proceed
to describe the same in detail, and in order that the Invention may be fully under-
stood I have hereunto annexed one Sheet of Drawings, in which Fig. 1 is an
elevation partly in section showing application of this my said Invention; Fig. 2
is a plan view of same; Figures 3, 4, and 5 are enlarged views of combined coiled
or curved pipe and grating, which may be arranged in bottom of fire grate or at
back of same.
A is the boiler; B, a curved or coiled pipe; C, an upright pipe communicating
with coil B and upper portion of boiler A. At D is tap for drawing off heated
water; E is a grate hung or hooked at F, as the pipes B may be in vertical or
horizontal position, and which grate serves, by preventing actual contact between
fuel and pipes, to ensure better combustion and brighter fire.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this my said
Invention, together with the manner in which the same is to be or may be
performed or carried into practical effect,
I would have it understood that I claim,-
The construction, combination, and arrangement of apparatus for purpose
described in manner as set forth and illustrated by Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Frankland, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this First day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty.
Witness,
WALTER BRIERLEY,
Patent Agent,
Halifax & Blackburn.
