Improvements in Apparatus for Boiling Cattle-foods and
the like.
I, HUGH DONALD FITZPATRICK, of 70 Wellington Street, Glasgow, Registered
Patent Agent, 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 a combination boiler and stove in which the boiling
vessel is wholly or partly surrounded by a heating jacket and can be easily tilted
over without removing it from the heating jacket.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have
hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon :—
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the stove-boiler.
Fig. 2 is a side view, showing the boiler tilted.
Fig. 3 is a part section at right angles to Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a sectional plan.
Fig. 5 shows another method of securing and tilting the boiler.
Fig. 6 is a part section of the arrangement, Fig. 5.
In carrying out my invention, I make the stove in two parts, namely, the base-
ment A (Figs. 1-4) containing the fire and thus forming the hearth proper and
the heating jacket C, which is so connected with the boiling vessel & that a space =
is left between the boiler and the heating jacket, which is filled with the ascending
hot gases, after they have expended the greater part of their heat on the bottom
of the boiler. The boiler with the heating jacket C swings in bearings S (see
Fig. 2).
.
To enable the boiler to be held steadily in place, the basement A is made with
an upwardly projecting rim d (see Figs. 1 & 2) against which one side of the
jacket C rests, when the boiler is in a vertical position. A flange is also fitted
to the jacket C, which, when the boiler is vertical, catches on the projecting rim e
on the basement. As will be seen at Fig. 2, the rim e is lower than the rim d, so
that the boiler can be easily tilted over by catching it by the handle 1.
With this arrangement, as the boiler can be inclined more or less or fixed perpen-
dicularly a greater or smaller heating surface can, as desired, be exposed to the action
of the fire, without the necessity of lowering the boiler into a deep basement, the
use of which would give trouble when the boiler was being lifted out. My invention
enables the boiler to be easily handled, although entirely or partly surrounded by a
heating jacket.
In Figs. 5 and 6 a different method of securing the boiler in the upright position
is shown. The boiler and jacket normally sit within the rim e', as shown at Fig. 6,
and can be lifted out and tilted by any well-known arrangement. An apparatus
by which even a very heavy vessel can be easily lifted, is shown at Fig. 5. It
consists of two bearings S¹, one at each side of the boiler. In these bearings are
fulcrumed, near to their ends, two levers H, one at each side, which are connected
together by a cross-bar. Two pivot pins H¹, one at each side of the jacket C, are
carried in holes made in the short arms of the levers H. When it is desired to
empty the boiler k, the levers H are pressed down and are held by the hook h, as
shown. The pushing down of the levers H, raises the boiler and jacket free of the
basement, so that it can be easily tilted over.
Any other tilting arrangement may be employed in lieu of that hereinbefore
described.

The apparatus is specially adapted for boiling cattle food and the like.
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 :-
:-
1. A tiltable boiling apparatus for boiling cattle food and the like, constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described, with reference to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, of the
drawings annexed.
2. The modified construction of apparatus, substantially as hereinbefore described
with reference to Figs. 5 and 6 of the annexed drawings.
Dated this 9th day of January 1892.
