I EBENEZER HARRISON 64 Ellesmere Road Sheffield in the County of York
Turner and Fitter do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN
IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING STEAM FOR MEDICAL, AND OTHER SIMILAR
PURPOSES, to be as follows:—
>
My invention of an improved apparatus for generating steam to be used for
medical, domestic, and other purposes, consists of a compact form of boiler or steam
generator, fitted to a stand containing a suitable burner, or series of burners, either
adapted for gas or arranged to burn petrolium, parafine, or other inflammable
materials or products, with a safety valve, and an outlet for applying the steam.
In carrying my invention into practice, I make the generator of any suitable
material but preferably of copper in the shape of a Globe or Sphere.
I make the stand of any desired height, the top part being shaped to receive the
lower part of the spherical generator, and the bottom of the stand being prepared
with perforations or other openings or apertures to admit air to the burner or
burners.
When the generator is to be heated by gas, I fix to the inside of the stand an
arrangement of burner on the principle of the bunsen burner, either in the shape
of a ring, or a sircular chamber perforated with small holes, and so that the jets of
flame impinge upon the underside of the generator.
On the top of the generator I fix a short vertical pipe, and on the top of the
vertical pipe I have a safety valve preferably a "deadweight valve "-which may
be arranged to blow off at any desired pressure.
From the side of the verticle pipe I take a horizontal outlet pipe with tap, to
which may be attached any kind of nozzle proper for the purpose for which the
steam is required.
I do not however bind myself to the exact details of the construction as described
as they may evidently be varied.

I, EBENEZER HARRISON 64 Ellesmere Road, Sheffield in the County of York
Turner and fitter do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED
APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING STEAM FOR MEDICAL AND OTHER SIMILAR PURPOSES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say:-
My invention of an improved apparatus to be used for generating steam for
medical domestic and other purposes, consists in constructing a compact and very
suitable form of boiler or steam generator, and arranged to be heated by means
of gas petrolium, or other inflamable materials or products, and provided with a
safety valve, and an outlet for the steam.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood I have annexed a sheet
of drawings illustrating my invention.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I make the generator of any
, suitable material, preferably copper, and of a spherical or globular shape or
nearly so.
It is made in two principal parts or halves A and B, which are joined together at C.
The bottom part B, is made with a projecting ring or annular moulding D by
means of which the generator is held or supported on its stand E; the top part
marked A is provided with an outlet F, for the steam, consisting of a vertical pipe
provided with a deadweight safety valve G, from which an horizontal pipe is
taken, having a shut off tap H, and an outlet F to which any kind of nozzle may
be fixed, suitable for the purpose for which the steam may be required.
The safety valve, although I prefer the deadweight system, may be of other
construction and is arranged so that the steam may blow off at any required pres-
sure, and when the valve is lifted from its seat, the opening forms a convenient
means of supplying the generator with water.
The stand E, may be of any desired height and pattern, the top part being made
of a shape to recive the lower part of the generator as shown, the sides being
perforated to admit air to the flame of the lamp, or other burner, or flame by which
the generator is heated. I have shown the usual ring of gas jets I, but any other
(means may be used, It may be used on an ordinary fire.
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:-
1. An Apparatus for generating steam for medical uses, vapour baths, and other
similar uses, substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated.
2. An Apparatus for generating steam for any required and suitable purpose,
consisting of the spherical body A, B, having a safety valve G, and an outlet F,
substantially as described and illustrated.
