1, ALFRED JULICS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention relates to improvements in apparatus for heating especially
by steam or by hot water at low pressure.
The condensers or radiators in use up to the present time consist of several pieces
or paris joined together by means of screw joints, bolts and nuts or the like.
The apparatus forming the subject of the present invention on the other hand
obviates all these means or methods of joining the different parts, as it is cast in one
piece with suitable openings at the top or bottom to facilitate the removal of the cores,
and these openings are afterwards hermetically closed. It consists of two horizontal
chambers connected by a series of vertical pipes the height of which may be varied
according to circumstances.
In case the apparatus is used for heating by steam a duplex valve is screwed into
the lower chamber. The plug of this valve opens and closes both passages simul-
taneously the upper one of which serves for the introduction of the steam while the
condensed water escapes through the lower and may be returned to the boiler.
If the apparatus is to be used for heating by hot water, the latter is introduced
through one of the sides of the upper chamber and escapes through the opposite side
of the lower chamber.
The upper chamber may be provided with a cup, an urn or other vessel for the
reception of water or merely as an ornament.

Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Heating by
Radiation.
A communication from FRANÇOIS WAUTERS, and ARTHUR MIGNOT, of Brussels, in
the Kingdom of Belgium, Tronfounder and Sculptor respectively.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E. 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 :-
The present invention relates to improvements in apparatus for heating especially
by steain or by hot water at low pressure.
The condensers or radiators in use up to the present time consists of several pieces
or parts joined together by means of screw joints, bolts and nuts or the like.
The apparatus forming the subject of the present invention obviates all these means
or methods of joining the different parts, as it is cast in one piece with suitable
openings at the top or bottom to facilitate the removal of the cores, these openings
being afterwards hermetically closed.
It consists of two horizontal chambers connected by a series of vertical pipes the
height of which may be varied according to circumstances.
.
In the accompanying drawings:-
Figs. 1, 2, 3, represent an elevation, vertical section and plan respectively of the
apparatus.
Fig. 4, represents a front elevation of a duplex valve screwed into the lower
chamber.
A is the lower chamber into which the steam is introduced and in which the
condensed water is collected.
Bare the vertical pipes or tubes in which the steam circulates and condenses.
Cis the upper chamber communicating with all the vertical tubes thus assuring an
equal distribution of the steam.
D is a duplex valve screwed into the lower chamber. The plug of this valve opens
or closes both passages simultaneously, the upper one of which serves for the intro-
duction of the necessary steam while the condensed water escapes through the lower
and may be returned to the boiler.
If the apparatus is to be used for heating by hot water, the latter is introduced
through one of the sides of the upper chamber and escapes through the opposite
side of the lower chamber.
The upper chamber may be provided with a cup, an urn or other vessel for the
reception of water or merely-as-an-ornament.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
--
1. The construction of the apparatus cast in one piece without any joints, for
heating by radiation principally by steam or hot water substantially as specified and
represented in the accompanying drawings.
2. The employment of the duplex valve in combination with the lower chamber
substantially as and for the purpose specified and represented in the accompanying
drawings.
