I THOMAS CUDLIPP of 8 Church Street, Edgeware Road, in the county of
Middlesex Manufacturer of Laundry and other domestic appliances do hereby
declare the nature of the said invention for AN IMPROVED AND COMBINED DRYING
AND HEATING STOVE AND BOILER FOR USE IN LAUNDRIES AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
It is well known that in laundries, dye houses, bleach works, and so forth, a
number of fires are required both for heating irons, boiling water, heating drying
rooms, and many other purposes, which is costly in fuel, and requires much time
and labour in attending to these fires.
The object of my invention is to obviate the employment of so many fires, for
the different purposes above enumerated, by using an apparatus which is simple
in construction, efficacious in result, and economical in labour and expense; it is
as follows:-
To an ordinary ironing, drying, heating or other stove of no matter what form
or construction I adapt a boiler of any suitable or convenient description by
mounting, setting, or fixing it on the top of the stove; the base of the boiler then
closes the top of the stove.
In the interior of the boiler are one or more tubes, the end or ends of which are
set or fixed so as to communicate with the flame, from the stove, through the tube
or tubes as the case may be, the gases of combustion pass through the boiler
whence they are carried away by a flue in any desired direction, either through a
room for heating, drying, or some other purpose, or this flue may be led to an
ordinary chimney.
Where a number of tubes are used they are made to converge to a common
centre, where the gases collect, and are thence conducted through the flue as
previously described. In the accompanying drawings the boiler
shown as applied
to an ordinary iron heating stove. In Fig. 1 it is arranged vertically, and in Fig. 2
horizontally the same letters of reference indicate like parts in the respective figures.
A. Fig. 1 is a vertical boiler. B tube through which the gases of combustion pass
and is tapered upwards. C is a steam outlet. D water inlet.
e steam gauge.
f, water gauge. g. g irons. A. 'Fig. 2 is a horizontal boiler.

page_text: The water or steam heated in the boiler is led by means of a pipe or pipes
(conveniently attached to the boiler) to the several coppers, tanks, tubs, drying
closets, calenders, ironing or washing machines or other appliances, where steam,
hot water or heat are required.
Water is or may be supplied to the boiler either by an injector of some sort, or
where circumstances will admit, or are favorable, from a cistern sufficiently high
above the boiler.
By this method, there is a constant supply of water in the boiler which is easily
regulated.
The boiler constructed on the principle of my invention can be easily adapted to
any existing ironing, heating, drying, or other stove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The combination of an iron heating, drying, or any other stove with a boiler
arranged above it, having a tube or tubes for carrying and conveying the gases of
combustion in any desired direction.
The boiler being suitably supplied with a pipe or pipes for conducting the hot
water or steam to the coppers, tanks, tubs, drying closets or rooms, calenders,
ironing or washing machines or any other apparatus, where steam, hot water, or
heat is required, in the manner by the means and for the purposes substantially as
herein set forth.
