This invention relates.to improvements in apparatus for heating water by steam
for use in connection with lavatory basins, baths and for other purposes, the
object being to simplify and thereby render such apparatus more reliable, instan-
taneous and entirely, automatic in action.
In accomplishing this, a metal tubular body is formed in two parts screwed
together concentrically, the said upper part having internally a steam nozzle
projecting concentrically into the lower part.
...
The orifice of the said nozzle and that of the said lower tubular, part opposite
thereto, are both cone shaped, the diameter of the former being. less than that
of the latter, but both tapering inwardly.
+
i
At a suitable place the said lower part is enlarged in diameter in double cone
fashion which serves to temporarily retain the water and steam mixed and thus
ensure the water being properly heated by the steam..

The upper end of the said tubular body is suitably connected to tlie steam
supply pipe and its side with the cold water supply pipe whilst. its lower end is
connected by the pipe to hot water tap or valve.

The cold water in entering the said tubular body passes around the said steam
nozzle where it meets and mixes with the steam issuing from the said nozzle and
gets heated thereby, after which the heated water flows down the tubular body
to the hot water tap.

The steam and cold water supply pipes are each furnished as usual with an
automatic valve so that when opening the hot water tap or valve the heating
apparatus begins at once to operate and when closing the same the apparatus
becomes inoperative.

I, RUTH EMILY PHILLIPS, now of 127, Merton Road, South Wimbledon, late of
Chatsworth Road, Worsley, in the County of Lancaster, Widow, 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 improvements in apparatus for heating water by steam
for use in connection with lavatory basins, baths and for other purposes, the
object being to simplify and thereby render such apparatus more reliable, instan-
taneous and entirely automatic in action.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused
to be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a cross section thereof at line A-A
of an apparatus for heating water by steam for lavatory basins, baths and the like
purposes constructed in accordance with my invention.
In carrying out my invention and referring to the figures generally, I form a
tubular metal body consisting of two parts a, b.screwed together concentrically,
the part a having. internally a steam nozzle e projecting concentrically into the
part b.
Around the said nozzle a chamber d is formed in the tubular part a.into which
the inner end e of the tubular part b projects concentrically.
The orifice of the said nozzle, and that of the tubular part 6 opposite thereto are
both cone shaped, the diameter of the former being less than that of the latter
but both tapering or contracting inwardly.
A suitable distance below the said chamber, the tubular part b is enlarged in
diameter to form a double couef which serves to temporarily retain the water
and steam mixed therewith and thus ensure the water being properly heated by
the steam.
The outer end of the tubular part a is internally screw threaded to receive a
steam supply pipe (not shown) and its side is formed with a branch
also screw
threaded internally which receives the cold water supply pipe (not shown) whilst
the outer end of the tubular part 6 has internally a screw thread adapted to receive
a pipe (not shown) by which the apparatus is connected with the hot water tap or
valve of the lavatory basin, bath or the like as will be readily understood!
The cold water enters the said tubular body through its branch g, then passes
into the chamber d around the steam nozzle where it meets and mixes with the
steam issuing from the said nozzle and gets heated thereby, after which the
heated water flows down the tubular body and after having been temporarily
detained in the chamber passes out of the same to the hot water tap or valve
aforesaid.
The steam and cold water supply pipes are cach as usual furnished with an
automatic valve so that when opening the hot water tap or valve the heating
apparatus begins at once to operate and when closing the same the apparatus
becomes inoperative.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1st. In an apparatus for heating water by stean, a tubular body baving a steam
inlet and hot water outlet in line with each other and a lateral water inlet, the said
steam inlet being formed with a nozzle proientine into an 'snifier

page_text: therewith and connected with the said hot water outlet and the said orifice and
nozzle being conical and surrounded by a mixing chamber d communicating with
the said water inlet, all substantially as set forth.
2nd. In an apparatus for heating water by steam, such as specified in the
preceding claim, the hot water passage formed near its outlet with a detaining
chamber f, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 21st day of Manch 1000.
