Year: 1864

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Thomas Jones, of the City of Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Gardener, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN BOLLERS FOR HEATING ROOMS OR BUILDINGS, CONSERVATORIES, AND SIMILAR
PLACES."
Sealed the 9th May 1865, and dated the 12th November 1864.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Thomas Jones at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
12th November 1864.
I, THOMAS JONES, of the City of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster,
Gardener, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for " IMPROVE-
MENTS IN BOILERS FOR HEATING ROOMS OR BUILDINGS, CONSERVATORIES, AND
SIMILAR PLACES," to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to boilers used for heating rooms or buildings, con-
servatories, and similar purposes, and consists of a shell with wings at the
sides of the upper part, and a stop piece across the back or end part; the said
wings and cross or end piece being hollow, and connected with each other;

page_text: through which the water or fluid passes and becomes heated by fire in a flue
of the ordinary description, the heat from the fire coming in contact with the
hollow stop piece at the back heats the water or fluid therein. This stop
piece also prevents the escape of hot air or heat, and causes it to divide and
return by the sides of the boiler and under the hollow wings aforesaid, thereby
heating them, and thus maintaining a constant temperature and economization
of fuel by having an additional heated surface.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Thomas Jones in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
12th May 1865.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, THOMAS
JONES, of the City of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Gardener, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twelfth day of November, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, in the twenty-eighth year of
Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said Thomas Jones, Her special license that I, the said Thomas Jones, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Thomas
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, use, exercise, and
vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN BOILERS FOR
HEATING ROOMS OR BUILDINGS, CONSERVATORIES, AND SIMILAR PLACES," upon the
condition (amongst others) that I, the said Thomas Jones, my executors 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 Thomas Jones, do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention, and in. what, manner the same is to be per-

page_text: formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement (that is to say):
-
This Invention relates to boilers for heating rooms or buildings, hot houses,
conservatories, and similar purposes, and consists of a hollow shell with wings
at the sides of the upper part, and a stop piece across the back, there being
openings at each side between the shell and stop piece leading to flues at the
outer sides of the shell. The said wings and stop piece are hollow, and
communicate with the hollow shell, and through all of them the water or fluid
circulates and becomes heated by fire in a furnace, the heat from which is
communicated to the shell and stop piece, and the heated air and gases in
striking against the stop piece are caused to divide and pass through the
openings to the flues at the outer sides of the shell, and under the wings to a
flue leading to the chimney, and as this arrangement procures more heating
surface than in the ordinary saddle boilers, a constant temperature is main-
tained with great economy of fuel.
This Invention will be clearly understood by referring to the. figures and
letters on the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a back
elevation, Fig. 2 a longitudinal elevation, Fig. 3 a transverse section, and
Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of my improved boiler for heating rooms or
buildings, conservatories, and similar places.
•
a represents the shell of the boiler; b, the wings; c, the stop piece at the
back; d, the openings to the flues; and e, the hollow fire bars.
It will be seen that the shell itself is similar to the arch well known as the
saddle boiler; but in addition to the shell and wings I have added the hollow
stop piece c, having at the top an outlet socket f, to which is connected one
of the pipes for circulating hot water. The said stop piece is connected at
the bottom by the vertical pipes g to the horizontal pipe h, having sockets i,
into which are fixed the back ends of the hollow fire bars e, the front ends of
which are fixed in the horizontal pipe k, having inlet sockets l, to which hot
water pipes are connected, and the space between the two vertical pipes g is
filled up with brickwork m. The shell, wings, stop piece, pipes, and fire-bars
are filled with water in the usual manner, and when the fuel in the furnace is
in a state of combustion, the water or fluid is heated very efficiently with a
comparatively small amount of fuel.
Having now described the nature and particulars of my said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I desire it to be
understood that I claim,-the hollow stop piece c at the back of the shell, and
openings d, for enabling flues to be placed at the outer sides of the shell, as

page_text: all such improvements are herein described and illustrated in the accompanying.
Sheet of Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Jones, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Tenth day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-five.
Signed, sealed, and delivered by the
⚫ within-named Thomas Jones in the.
presence of

Patent Agent,
