PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hot Water or Steam Radiators.
We, JOHN JERRAM and THOMAS FURNER, trading as John Jerram & Co., of
No. 2 Babington Lane, Derby in the County of Derby, Heating and Sanitary
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to provide certain improvements in the construc-
tion and appearance of radiators used in connection with hot water or steam heating
apparatuses and-in carrying out our said invention we provide a moulded base
rebated inside to receive the lower ends of the vertical tubes, the said tubes fitting
up to each other and having holes cast or otherwise formed at the top and bottom
80 that each tube communicates with the one next to it, through these holes or
openings are passed bolts, the whole being firmly secured together by suitable nuts
and washers at the ends, rubber or other packing being used between the various
joints. A great advantage of the joint above described is that it admits of any
tube or tubes being taken out for repairs without disturbing the remainder.
Instead of casting the ornament round the base, top or on the face of the tubes
we may cast the said ornament separately and peg it on the said base, top or tubes,
it being found much neater in appearance than when cast solid with the base, top
or tubes; in reference to the top it is rebated inside to receive the tops of the tubes
and may also if desired be rebated or otherwise prepared for the reception of an
ornamental tile top, which will be found to greatly improve the appearance of the
radiator.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hot Water or Steam Radiators..
We, JOHN JERRAM and THOMAS FURNER, trading as John Jerram & Co., of
No. 2 Babington Lane, Derby in the County of Derby, Heating and Sanitary
Engineers, 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 :-
The object of our invention is to provide certain improvements in the construc-
tion and appearance of radiators used in connection with hot water or steam
heating apparatuses and in order that our said invention may be the more readily
understood we have caused to be annexed to this Specification a sheet of drawings,
the different figures and letters of reference marked upon which will be hereinafter
mentioned and described.
E
Figure 1 is a plau upon line 'a,' a, of Figure 3 shewing the joints between the
tubes near the top of same.
Figure 2 is a plan upon line 'b,' 'b,' of Figure 3 looking downwards.
Figure 3 is a part elevation of our improved radiator and part vertical section
on line 'c,' 'c,' of Figure 1.
In carrying out our said invention we provide a moulded base A rebated inside to
receive the lower ends of the vertical tubes B, the said tubes fitting up to each
other and having holes or communications C, C cast or otherwise formed at the

top and bottom respectively so that each tube communicates with the one next to
it, through these holes or openings are passed rods or bolts D, D¹, the whole being
firmly secured together by suitable nuts and washers or other suitable device E at
the ends, rubber or other packing F being used between the various joints; we form
a "baffler near the inlet pipe to create an up current of hot water or steam,
by closing the orifice between the end tube and the one next to it at the bottom, as
shewn at G.
"
A great advantage of fixing the tubes as above described is that it admits
of any tube or tubes being taken out for repairs without unduly disturbing
the remainder.
Instead of casting the ornament H with the base, top or on the faces of the tubes,
we cast the said ornament separately and peg it on the base, top or faces of
the tubes, it being found much neater in appearance than when cast. solid
with the said base, top or tubes; the pegs I are afterwards filed up and form part
of the pattern of the ornament.
The top of our improved radiator is rebated inside as shewn upon the section to
receive the tops of the tubes and is also rebated or otherwise prepared for
the reception of an ornamental tile or marble top such as K which will be found to
greatly improve the appearance of the radiator.
It will be seen that upon the drawings parts only of our improved radiator are
-shewn as only being necessary for the illustration of our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our - said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-.
1. The improved means of securing the ornament to the sides, bases, tops or other
parts of hot water or steam radiators instead of casting the same solid therewith
Bubstantially as described and illustrated.
2. The improved construction of hot water or steam radiators having rebated tops
and bases, the tubes communicating with each other at the tops and bottoms
respectively, with baffler G, the whole of the tubes being secured together by
means of rods or bolts D, D¹, passing through the tubes and the holes or
orifices C, C¹, and bolted or otherwise securely tightened up at one or both
ends, rubber or other suitable packing F being employed as required and the top
being also rebated to receive tiles or a marble slab, substantially as described and
illustrated.
3. The whole substantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated.
