PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Kitchen Range Boilers.
I, ELI BROOKS, of 9, Taylor Street, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to kitchen range boilers, and consists of an improved
arrangement and combination of the same with a circulating system of hot water
pipes, so that instead of the hot water being ladled out of the boiler by cans as
at the present time, the hot water supply can be obtained at the sinkstone or
lavatory basin at any convenient part or parts of the house. The invention is
designed more particularly for such dwelling houses unaccommodated with a bath-
room or hot water circulating system on the usual lines.
I construct the kitchen range boiler of copper, aluminium, or cast iron and
make it of considerably enlarged dimensions carrying it to the top of the fire place,
instead of about midway as at present. The boiler is preferably circular in shape,
and at the front may be provided with one or more shelves for warming food or
domestic articles. The boiler is provided with a ball tap for regulating the supply
of water to the boiler. The water supply pipe may be furnished with a stop-cock
for turning off the supply of water and an additional tap for emptying the boiler
when required. Leading from the boiler are the usual hot water circulating pipes,
which, after being taken round the house, return to the boiler.
The flue of the boiler from the fire in the range diverges into two directions one
running to the back of the boiler, and emerging at the top, and the other passing
up the side of the boiler, and entering the other at the top, whence the flue is
continued to the chimney.
A grate may be interposed betwixt the flue and the fire in the range, so that the
boiler may be heated with hot air instead of fire when desired.

Improvements in and relating to Kitchen Range Boilers.
I, ELI BROOKS, of 9, Taylor Street, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Plumber, 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:-
This invention relates to kitchen range boilers, and consists of an improved
arrangement and construction of the same with a circulating system of hot water
pipes, so that instead of the hot water being ladled out of the boiler by cans as at

page_text: the present time, the hot water supply can be obtained at the sinkstone or lavatory
basin at any convenient part or parts of the house. The invention is designed
more particularly for such dwelling houses unaccommodated with a bath room, or
hot water circulating system on the usual lines.
I construct the kitchen range boiler of copper, aluminium or cast iron, and make
it of considerably enlarged dimensions, carrying it to the top of the fire place,
instead of about midway as at present. The boiler is preferably circular in shape,
and is enclosed in at the front and the side nearest the fire by a cast plate of the
range, which is suitably designed with panels or other ornamentation to conform
symmetrically with the rest of the range. The back and remaining side of the
boiler are bricked in, so as to allow four flues to run up the four corners thereof,
which emerge into one central flue leading to the chimney.
The front plate next the boiler is provided with one or more shelves or a rack
for warming food or domestic articles.
The boiler is provided with a supply cistern, and ball tap for regulating the
supply of water to the boiler. The water supply pipe is furnished with a stop
cock for turning off the supply of water, and an additional tap for emptying the
boiler, when required. Leading from the boiler are the usual hot water circulating
pipes. Access lids are provided for clearing the flues of the boiler.
A grate may be interposed between the bottom flue of the boiler and the fire
in the range, so that the boiler may be heated with hot air instead.of.fire.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved
arrangement and construction of kitchen range boilers. Fig. 2 is a plan view
shewing the boiler in section, and exposing the four corner flues.
Referring to Fig. 1, A is the boiler preferably circular in form, shewn in dotted
lines. The boiler is covered by the front plate B, which extends to the top of the
range, and is suitably ornamented. This front plate is furnished with loose access
lids C, through which the flues of the boiler may be readily cleaned.
D is the cold water supply cistern, E the water supply pipe, which enters the
boiler at the bottom as shewn. F is the hot water pipe, which returns to the supply
cistern D, and from which the branch pipe G extends to the sinkstone, lavatory
basin, or other convenient part of the house.
The boiler rests upon a suitable stand or support, or upon flanges, and is raised
a convenient distance to allow of the bottom flue passing beneath.
As will be seen in sectional plan view Fig. 2, the fire under combustion beneath
the boiler or the hot air from the fire range, proceeds up the four corner
flues H, I, J and K, and emerge at the top into a central flue. (not shewn on the
drawing) leading to the chimney.
Inclined shelf or shelves such as L may be employed for warming plates or other
articles.
It will be obvious that my invention may be modified in various ways without
departing from the spirit thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The improved arrangement and construction of kitchen range boilers, and the
combination therewith of a system of hot water circulating pipes, substantially as
described, and shewn for the purpose specified.
