Improvements in Stoves and Apparatus for Heating Water.
I, PETER AUGUST WILHELM SCHMIDT of 49 Brunnen Street, Berlin in the
Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, Manufacturer, 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 a new or improved stove, which whilst heating the
room, shall at the same time serve to heat or warm water for baths etc.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the stove,
Fig. 2 a cross-section of same, and
Fig. 3 the cross section of a modification.
The mantel A, which is open at top and bottom contains a water vessel B, said
vessel being either set loosely in A, in which case guides a are used (Fig. 2), or
attached to A as shown in Fig. 3. In whatever way, however, B is secured to A,
it remains the main point that at least two draught-chimnies are formed around
the latter.
Fig. 1 shows one chimney x for ascending gases, and one chimney y for
descending gases, both uniting at the top of the stove, for which purpose the
interior vessel B is made in its upper part somewhat shorter than the mantel A
which is provided with lid D.
Water-vessel B carries a conical tube E passing through this lid and having two
union-screws e & e¹ the first connecting with an inflow-pipe, the other serving for
the outflow of hot water from the vessel B. A pipe e reaching nearly to the
bottom of the vessel B is attached to e¹ and leads the hot water off, either by
the pressure of the steam in B or by the exterior pipe from e' acting as syphon.
The mantel can be fixed on any suitable stove C or over any other source of
heat as at F.
The fire-chamber is arranged so that the gases must ascend at x, the chimney y
being closed at its lower part (Fig. 1) by the plate c supporting vessel B.
If it is intended to heat water with this apparatus, B is filled with water from the
pipe connected at e. The gases ascending from the fire-chamber rise through . and
descending by y pass out through c¹. The warm water can be led off through e², e'.
As the gases not only come into contact with the water vessel B but also with the
mantel A, heating this latter, the surrounding air is warmed and the room heated.
The mantel A. thus also serves the purpose of a stove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
In stoves, the combination of a mantel A and inner water vessel B so arranged
as to leave in the interior, draught-chimnies x and y for the passage of gases from
the fire chamber of the stove, water being fed to the water vessel B through an
inlet e and the hot water being led off through the pipe the apparatus thus
serving both for the purpose of heating the room and providing hot water for
baths etc. substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying
drawing.
