Presents, and the following description thereof, and references thereto (that is
to say)
-
Figure 1 represents a warming pan in its finished state, which may be made
of wrought iron, cast iron, or any other metal or compound of metals appli-
cable to the purpose, and may be made either circular or of any other form,
and be bright or colored brown, or any other color that may be agreeable.
A, a small ring to lift up the lid in order to admit the heater; B, the hinge;
C, a brass ferule to admit of the shank of the hinge, and a part of the handle;
D, a part of the handle, which may be made of wood, brass, iron, or any other
material proper for that use; E, the socket (as described in Figures 9 and 10),
the use of which is to divide the handle into two parts (as Figures 11 and 12),
for the convenience of placing it in a carriage, which, with the heater
(Figure 6), will give a perfect airing and agreeable warmth in a short time,
and will be free from the hazard of fire.
Figure 2 represents a pan open. A, the conductors or supports on which
the heater rests, by which means, as the heater does not come into contact
with the sides or bottom of the pan, an equal degree of heat is given to all
the parts; B, the hinge; C, the ring (as at A, Figure 1).
Figure 3 represents a pan open (as Figure 2), with the heater therein; A,
the heater; B, the hinge; C, the conductor or support in the lid.
Figure 4, the binge, which is made of wrought iron, cast iron, brass, or any
other metal or compound of metals fit for the purpose. A, the hole through
which a screw passes to fix it to the handle; B, B, holes to fix it to the top
and bottom of the pan.
Figure 5, one of the conductors or supports (as at A, Figure 2), which may
be made circular, angular, or any other form, so as to keep the heater steady
and at a proper distance from the pan.
Figure 6, the heater for airing of rooms or carriages, or for any other pur-
pose requiring a great, protracted, and regular heat, which, by being made red
hot, will continue a great length of time giving an agreeable warmth not to

be made of cast iron or other metal or material proper for or applicable to
that purpose, according to the pleasure of the maker, and may be made
circular or of any other form. A, the groove to receive the conductor or
support in order to prevent its moving; B, a hole to admit the air or heat,
that it may be equal throughout the whole.
Figure 7, the heater, for the purpose of airing beds, or for any other. pur-
pose requiring a smaller heat, which may be made of the same materials as
the larger heater. A, the groove (as Figure 6). By giving this beater a red
heat it will continue a length of time sufficient to warm several beds, having
a regular heat not to be obtained by the common method of using coals,
and free from the smoak or sulphureous matter so justly and generally
complained of.
Figure 8, an iron stand to place the pan upon for the convenience of airing
rooms, carriages, &c.
Figure 9, a brass or other metal tube or socket to fix to the middle of the
handle (as represented at E, Figure 1), in the centre of which is a female
screw.
Figure 10, another tube or socket of brass or other metal, at the end of
which is a male screw which screws into the centre of l'igure 9.
Figures 11 and 12 represent the handle when divided. A, the tube or
socket (Figure 9); 13, the other tube or socket (Figure 10); C, the ferule
which admits of the shank of the hinge (as described in Figure 1).
Figure 13, a grate, bar, or supporter, for the purpose of keeping the heater
at a proper distance from the pan, which is intended to be applied to the
common warming pan heretofore in use, or any other pan, for the purpose of
warming beds, &c. This grate, bar, or supporter may be made of cast iron,
wrought iron, or any other metal or substance applicable to that use, and of
circular, angular, or any other form. A, a pillar to keep the heater steady in
its situation.
Figure 14 represents the last-mentioned Figure with the heater upon it; A,
the heater (as described in Figure 7); B, the pillar.
