PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fittings for Hot Water Circulating Pipes.
I CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL of 65 Southwark Street, Southwark in the
County of London Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to fittings and connections in the main pipes of hot water
circulations either for warming glass or other structures or buildings of any class
or for conveying heated water for baths, lavatories or other like purposes.
My said invention consists essentially in manufacturing tee pieces, branch pieces,
outlet syphons and other hot water connections with a directing diaphragm in the
internal area of such fitting or connection so that either in the flow pipe from hot
water generator or the return pipe to the same the diaphragm will deflect a
portion of the water from or to any section of the apparatus & so prevent what
frequently occurs when the present type of fitting or connection is used, viz., the
water missing one or more sections of the circulation.
Dated this 31st day of January 1896.

Improvements in Fittings for Hot Water Circulating Pipes.
I, CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL of 65 Southwark Street of the Borough of
Southwark in the County of London, Engineer 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 fittings and connections in the main pipes of hot water
circulations used either for warming glass or other structures or buildings of any
class or for conveying heated water for baths, lavatories or other like purposes.
My said invention consists essentially in manufacturing tee pieces, branch pieces,
outlet syphons and other hot water pipe connections and the introduction of
directing diaphragm in the internal area of such fitting or connection so that either
in the flow pipe from hot water generator or the return pipe to the same, the
diaphragm will deflect a portion of the water from or to any section of the
apparatus and so prevent what frequently occurs when the present type of fitting
or connection is used, viz., the water missing one or more sections of the
circulation.
So that my invention may be more clearly understood, I annex a drawing which
shows a section of one shape of fitting with the directing diaphragm in its internal
area, such diaphragm being marked a on same.
I do not confine the application of the directing diaphragm to any particular
shape of fitting or fittings; these may be of globular, Y shaped or other form
used for the purposes set forth.

page_text: 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 :-
The introduction of a directing diaphragm formed in the internal area of hot
water fittings for use in connection with hot water circulations as herein before 5
described and set forth and with reference to the drawing annexed.
Dated this 30th day of April 1896.
