PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Heating the Contents of Baths and like
Vessels.
We, ALFONS PARYCZKO, of 12, Flora Warsaw, in the Empire of Russia,
Engineer and LEOPOLD LITYNSKI, of Palais du Théatre, Lemberg, in the Empire
of Austria, Proprietor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
1
This invention relates to an apparatus for heating the water in baths or other
similar large-sized vessels; or for heating other liquids in case of need.
It mainly consists of a vessel enlarged towards its lower end in the shape of
a truncated cone, while upon its upper extremity a cylindrical chimney is
attached. The vessel serves for the reception of the fuel, which may be either
liquid (such as petroleum, benzine, spirit or the like) or solid (as stone-coal,
brown coal and the like). Where solid fuel is employed a grate should prefer-
ably be built into the said vessel, the first being charged upon such grate. For
the admission of the air necessary for keeping up the combustion, two or more
pipes are arranged within the heater; the lower slanting orifices of such pipes
reaching down into the space left below the grate. The lower parts of these
pipes extend at an angle so as to fit the conical outline of the walls of the
heater, while their upper parts, rising through the chimney, are vertical. Owing
to the arrangement of the air supply pipes within the body of the heater and
chimney, the air utilised in promoting combustion is subjected to a considerable
preliminary heating before it reaches the fire through the grate. Hence the
fuel is far more fully taken advantage of and the apparatus is enabled to give
off a proportionally larger amount of heat.
In practice, the apparatus is placed in the liquid which it is intended to
heat, when it will float in such liquid in an erect position, being provided for
the purpose with a heavy foot (or pedestal) of iron or lead, which will prevent
it from being upset. Besides, at the part where the body of the heater joins
the chimney, there is preferably arranged a dish which serves partly to assist
the heater in retaining its erect position, and partly, also, to enlarge the heat-
ing surface. The chimney is, furthermore, fitted with a hinged lid, permitting
the heater to be completely closed up, when, by cutting off the air-supply, the
fire will be extinguished.

Russia, and LEOPOLD LITYNSKI, Proprietor, of Palais du Theatre, Lemberg, in the
Price 8d1

page_text: Empire of Austria, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an apparatus for heating the water in baths or other
similar large-sized vessels; or for heating other liquids in case of need.
The improved heater is represented in the accompanying drawing, in vertical
section.
It mainly consists of a vessel a enlarged towards its lower end in the shape of
a truncated cone, while upon its upper extremity a cylindrical chimney b is
attached. The vessel serves for the reception of the fuel, which may be either
liquid (such as petroleum, benzine, spirit or the like) or solid (as stone-coal,
brown coal and the like). Where solid fuel is employed, a grate a¹ should pre-
ferably be built into the said vessel a, the fuel being charged upon such grate.
For the admission of the air necessary for keeping up the combustion, two or
more pipes are arranged within the heater; the lower slanting orifices of such
pipes reaching down into the space left below the grate a¹. The lower parts of
these pipes, extend at an angle so as to fit the conical outline of the walls of
the heater a, while their upper parts, rising through the chimney b, are vertical.
Owing to the arrangement of the air-supply pipes within the body of the heater
and chimney the air utilized in promoting combustion is subjected to a consider-
able preliminary heating before it reaches the fire through the grate. Hence
the fuel is far more fully taken advantage of and the apparatus is capable of
giving off a proportionally larger amount of heat.
When using the liquid fuel only, the grate is removed, and the liquid fuel
is filled into the vessel a. It is to be observed however that the inner openings
of the air tubes c must remain free in order to have a sufficient supply of air.
The same result may be obtained by placing the liquid fuel into a small jar or
the like, and inserting the same into the vessel.
In practice, the apparatus is placed in the liquid which it is intended to
heat, when it will float in such liquid in an erect position, being provided for
the purpose with a heavy foot (or pedestal) d of iron or lead, which will prevent
it from being upset. Besides, at the part where the body of the heater joins
the chimney, there is preferably arranged a dish e which serves partly to assist
the heater in retaining its erect position, and partly, also, to enlarge the heating
surface. The chimney is, furthermore, fitted with a hinged lid f, permitting
the heater to be completely closed up, so that, by cutting off the air-supply, the
fire will be extinguished.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
-
A heater for baths and like utensils the characteristic feature of which is
that pipes, such as c, serving to supply the air necessary to promote combustion
are arranged within the fuel-receiver a constructed in the shape of a truncated
cone; the said pipes being thus exposed to the contact of the combustion gases
and flame, so that the air used in assisting combustion undergoes a considerable
preliminary heating.
