Year: 1870

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Joseph Shackleton, of Bradford, in the County
of York, Engineer and Machinist, for the Invention of "IMPROVE-
TH ADDADAMI ADW Down "
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Joseph Shackleton at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 7th April 1870.
1, JOSEPH SHACKLETON, of Bradford, in the County of York, Engineer
and Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR HEATING OR WARMING Rooms," to be as
follows:-
--
This Invention relates to apparatus for radiating heat to be used
chiefly in conjunction with means and apparatus for utilizing exhaust
steam from steam engines, but is applicable for heating or warming
rooms by means of live or compressed steam, hot water, or hot air. The
apparatus consists of a steam and water tight chamber or vessel adapted

page_text: to the size necessary for the structure in which it is to be used, divided
into two compartments by a partition, and a series of small pipes are
inserted at one end secured into and communicating with one of these
compartments, such pipes being placed at small distances apart from
each other; these pipes are then bent or turned, and returned with the
other ends thereof inserted and secured into the other compartment.
The turning of these pipes may be either at right angles, or any other
angle, or in curve lines, as most convenient or desirable. Steam, either
exhaust or compressed, hot water, or hot air, if admitted into one of the
compartments will flow and circulate through all the pipes into the other
compartment and thence pass away.
This construction of apparatus
possesses a large amount of radiating surface.
!
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Joseph Shackleton in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 7th October 1870.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOSEPH
SHACKLETON, of Bradford, in the County of York, Engineer and
Machinist, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Seventh day of April, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy, in the thirty-third year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant
unto me, the said Joseph Shackleton, Her special licence that I, the
said Joseph Shackleton, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as I, the said Joseph Shackleton, my executors, adminis-
trators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from
time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed,
should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands,
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR
HEATING OR WARMING ROOMS," upon the condition (amongst others) that
I, the said Joseph Shackleton, my executors or administrators, by an
instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and
seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed, and

page_text: cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within
six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said
Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Joseph Shackleton, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement and accompanying Sheet of Drawings
(that is to say) :-
This Invention relates to apparatus for radiating heat to be used
chiefly in conjunction with means and apparatus for utilizing exhaust
steam from steam engines, but is applicable for heating or warming
rooms by means of live or compressed steam, hot water, or hot air. The
apparatus consists of a steam and water tight chamber or vessel divided
into two compartments by a partition, and a series of small pipes are
inserted at one end secured into and communicating with one of these
compartments, such pipes being placed at small distances apart from
each other; these pipes are then bent or turned, and returned with the
other ends thereof inserted and secured into the other compartment.
The turning of these pipes may be either at right angles, or any other
angle, or in curve lines, as most convenient or desirable. Steam, either
exhaust or compressed, hot water, or hot air if admitted into one of the
compartments will flow and circulate through all the pipes into the
other compartment and thence pass away. This construction of
apparatus possesses a large amount of radiating surface.
and Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of the same.
A and B are the two compartments of the chamber or vessel; D is
the inlet for the admission of steam; and E is the outlet for the dis-
charge of condensed steam or water; F are the series of pipes com-
municating with the two compartments, so that steam will pass through
or charge them, and as it becomes condensed will pass out at the
pipe F. A small hole is made through the partition C to allow the

page_text: water condensed in the compartment A to pass out into the compart-
ment B, and thence out at the pipe E, as before named.
It will be evident by this construction and arrangement of apparatus
a very large amount of heat radiating surface is obtained, and it will
also be observed that the size of the chambers and the number and form
of the pipes may be made according to the circumstances of the case or
size and form of room required to be warmed.
What I claim as my Invention is, the construction and use of
apparatus for radiating heat produced therein by means of either exhaust
or compressed steam, or hot water, or hot air, as shewn and described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Shackleton, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of August, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy.
