Improvements in Fire-back Boilers for Kitchen Ranges.
WILLIAM MATHIESON, Ironfounder, of Scotch Foundry, Armley, Leeds and JOHN
NEWTON SHARP Builder Newton Lodge Potternewton Leeds do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our improvement consists in having a Boiler (not hermetically closed at the top)
extended upwards from the back, or sides or sides and back of the fireplace of the
Range, towards or into the chimney, thereby enabling a supply of hot water to fall by
gravitation through suitable pipes to any Sink, Lavatory basin, Bath or such like,
these being placed at their ordinary height from the floor.
A supply cistern or tank is connected to the boiler by means of a pipe, this cistern
being placed in any suitable place and at such a level that the top of the water in the
cistern is a few inches below the level of the top of the boiler.
Dated this 24th day of December 1897.

Improvements in Fire-back Boilers for Kitchen Ranges.
WILLIAM MATHIESON, Ironfounder of Scotch Foundry, Armley, Leeds, and JOHN
NEWTON SHARP, Builder, Newton Lodge Potternewton, Leeds 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 :-
Our improvement consists in having a Boiler (not hermetically closed at the
top):extended upwards from the back, or sides, or sides and back, of the fire place of
the range, towards or into the chimney, thereby enabling a supply of hot water to fall
by gravitation through suitable pipes to any Sink, Lavatory Basin, Bath or such
like these being placed at their ordinary height from the floor.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation, partly in section, showing our improvement applied.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation, partly in section of Fig. 1.
In carrying out our improvement a supply cistern or Tank C is connected to
Boiler A near the bottom by a pipe D. This cistern or Tank C being placed in
any suitable place, and at such that the top of the water in the cistern or Tank C
is a few inches below the level of the top of Boiler A.
A shows the Boiler, in this case behind the fire-extending upwards into
Chimney I.
Rehomes onening on ton of Boiler A which always remains onen.

page_text: E shows draw off tap, placed bigh enough to be used over a sink, Lavatory Basin,
Bath or such like.
F shows the piping used to connect Boiler A with draw off Tap E, which pipe is
connected to Boiler A near the top.
G shows the chimney lintel over the fire place..
I shows the range fireplace.
I shows the chimney into whichi Boiler A-projects.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what inauner the saine is performed we declare that what we
claim is
That by extending the fire back boiler upwards towards or into the chimney, hot
water can be drawn by gravitation alone froin. taps placed over any Sink, Lavatory
Basin, Bath or such like, these being placed at their ordinary height from the floor
but not above the level of the top of the water in either cistern or boiler.
Dated this 24th day of August 1897.
