PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to Boilers for Heating Water,
the same being usually styled Back Boilers.
We, JAMES FAGAN of Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire, Plumber, and JOHN BENJAMIN
MOORHOUSE of the same place, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows, that is to say -
It relates to improvements in and appertaining to boilers for heating water, the
same being usually styled "back boilers" and consists of forming same and parts in
connection therewith, so that water may be more quickly heated thereby than in
boilers formed and arranged as heretofore.
This is attained by forming the boiler of such a shape as will permit the parts upon
which it is mounted being made to serve as supports therefor and also to form the
flue, which flue is arra: gel so that there is an open passage under the boiler, up the
back and also over the top therof.
l'ortions of the supports, which are formed of suitable brickwork, are made to be
detachable or moveable so that the course of flues may be altered, to meet the require-
ments of the user.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to Boilers for Heating Water,
the same being usually styled Back Boilers.
We, JAMES FAGAN of Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire, Plumber, and JOHN BENJAMIN
MOORHOUSE of the same place, Ironmonger, 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, that is to say:—
It relates to improvements in and appertaining to boilers for heating water, the
same being usually styled back boilers," and consists of forming same and parts in
connection therewith, so that water may be more quickly heated thereby than in
boilers formed and arranged as heretofore.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings, fig. 1 is sectional side view of our improved
boiler in its fixed position, fig. 2 is side view of same, and fig. 3 is front view thereof
while fig. 4 is top view of parts shewn by fig. 3.
Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional side and top views of a modification in the formation
of the boiler.
The object of this invention is attained by forming the boiler a of such a shape as
to permit the parts b (which preferably are of brickwork), upon which it is mounted,
being made to serve or answer as supports therefor as well as to form the flue through
which the heated air or gases for heating said boiler have to pass.
This flue is arranged so that there is an open passage under the boiler a up the
back and forward over the top thereof so that the circulation of heated air or gases
from the fire at c is somewhat as is shewn by the arrows.
Mounted above the boiler a is the valve d' which when desired may be moved from
the position shewn by fig. 1 into that shewn by fig. 2, in the former as will be seen
the current circulates around the boiler a starting from the bottom of the fire c and
[Price 1

page_text: returns thereto at the top, while in the latter it starts from the same place but passes
up the chimney e, the valve d having been moved to open the passage upwardly but
to close it horizontally.
In connection with what are known as closed ranges, the boiler is made of the form
shewn at a' figs. 5 and 6, which enables the current to circulate as shewn by the
arrows and the heating surface of the boiler is considerably increased.
The supports & are applicable for either kind or shape a or a¹ of said boilers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is —
1. A boiler, such as the one shewn at a, arranged, by having its supports or
bearance of the shape indicated, so that its flue may encircle it substantially as
herein specified, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The boiler a, its supports or bearance of the form illustrated, and the valve d
in combination the same being arranged substantially as herein set forth for the
purpose specified. ·
3. The boiler a¹ of the form illustrated, in combination with the supports or
bearance d to allow an opening or flue to encircle said boiler a¹ substantially as
described and for the purpose specified.
