page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Zaccheus Sugden, of the Firm of Messieurs Hartley and
Sugden, Limited, Welded Boiler Manufacturers, of Halifax, in the County of
York, and Enock Binns, of Halifax aforesaid, Foreman to the said Firm for
an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN WELDED BOILERS FOR HEATING WATER
AND FOR GENERATING STEAM."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Zaccheus Sugden and Enock
Binns at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 7th February
1882.
ZACCHEUS SUGDEN of the Firm of Messieurs Hartley and Sugden Limited
Welded Boiler Manufacturers of Halifax in the County of York and ENOCK
BINNS of Halifax aforesaid Foreman to the said Firin. "IMPROVEMENTS IN
WELDED BOILERS FOR HEATING WATER AND FOR GENERATING STEAM."
This Invention relates to an improved construction of vertical jacketed tubular
boilers securing great heating surface together with thorough circulation of the
water.
Referring now to boilers employed for the heating of water we construct the
outer jacket or water space by preference in the form of a taper or conical cylinder
the upper and lower water ways extend internally forming annular water ways
and these upper and lower water ways are connected with each other at intervals
by a number of water way tubes extending around the greater portion of the
annular water ways the space enclosed by the tubes forms the fire box the heat
from which acts upon the tubes and has free access between and around them so
as to act also upon the outer water way or jacketing as well as on the upper and
lower annular water ways herein referred to. A modification of this boiler
comprises an outer jacketing the upper portion of which is extended internally
forming the upper annular water way which is connected by water way tubes (as

page_text: described) with a water way ring placed near the lower part of the boiler and
such ring is connected with the outer jacketing by other water ways or tubes this
construction renders available as fire grate and fuel surface area the whole diameter
of the interior of the lower part of the boiler.
In vertical boilers employed for generating steam the outer water jacketing is
cylindrical the upper space being water and steam space the lower part or foot of
the jacketing extends internally forming an annular water space which is con-
nected to the upper water space by a series of vertical water way tubes extending
around the greater portion of the interior and within which is the furnace there
being space for firing cleaning and inspecting the interior of boiler between the
front tubes.

by the said Zaccheus Sugden and Enock Binns in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 5th August 1882.
ZACCHEUS SUODEN of the Firm of Messieurs Hartley and Sugden, Limited,
Welded Boiler Manufacturers, of Halifax in the County of York, and ENOCK BINNS
of Halifax aforesaid Foroman to the said Firm. "IMPROVEMENTS IN WELDED
BOILERS FOR HEATING WATER AND FOR GENERATING STEAM,"
This Invention relates to an improved construction of vertical jacketed tubular
boilers securing great heating surface together with thorough circulation of the
water.
Referring now to Boilers employed for the heating of water, we construct the
outer jacket or water space by preference in the form of a taper or conical
cylinder. The upper and lower water ways extend internally forming annular
water ways and these upper and lower water ways are connected with each other
at intervals by a number of water way tubes, extending around the greater portion
of the annular water ways the spaco enclosed by the tubes forms the fire box the
heat from which acts upon the tubes and has free access between and around them
so as to act also upon the outer water way or jacketing as well as on the upper
and lower annular water ways herein referred to.
A modification of this boiler comprises an outer jacketing the upper portion of
which is extended internally forming the upper annular water way which is con-
nocted by water way tubes (as described) with a water way ring placed near the
lower part of the boiler and such ring is connected with the outer jacketing by
other water ways or tubes this construction renders available as fire grate and fuel
surface and the whole diameter of the interior of the lower part of the boiler.
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 understood
I have hereunto annexed Sheets of Drawings and have marked same with Figures
and letters of reference, like Figures denoting like parts.

page_text: tubes H. H like tubes H being applied at intervals of distance around the interior of
the boiler except opposite the clinker hole or door J the space or area enclosed by the
pipes H. H being the furnace or fire box the heat from which acts upon the tubes H
and has free access between and around the same and to the outer jacketing E as
well as on the upper and lower water ways F and G at K is the feed pipe for fuel
and at L is the smoke outlet J the clinker hole or aperture through which the
clinker is removed and the fire stirred when necessary.
Referring now to the longitudinal boilers. E is the outer jacketing or outer
water space. F-G the upper and lower ways connected at intervals by the
pipes or water way tubes H. H-the space or area enclosed by the pipes H. H
being the fire box or furnace the heat from which has free access between and
around the tubes H. H to the outer jacketing E as well as to the upper and lower
water way F and G. At J is the clinker hole, K the feed pipe, and L the smoke
outlet. At M is the flow or outlet socket and N the return or inlet socket.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of this our said Invention
together with the manner in which the same is to be or may be performed or
carried into practical effect we would have it understood that what we are quite
aware that water way tubes both straight curved and crossed have long been used
in various description of boilers we therefore make no claim to water way tubes
as such, but what we do claim is.
The construction of boilers wherein the upper and lower water ways connected
by water way tubes in such manner as to combine an inner tubular boiler with an
outer upright or horizontal boiler as shewn and herein described.
In witness whereof we the said Zaccheus Sugden and Enock Binns have
hereunto set our hands and scals this twenty seventh day of July in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
