PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Kitchen Ranges, Cooking Stoves, Heating Apparatus,
and Appliances connected therewith.
We, EDWARD BINGHAM, Junior, of 101 Fulham Road London, in the County of
Middlesex, Ironmonger, and HEDLEY STANLEY MOORWOOD, of the Harleston Iron
Works, Harleston Street, Sheffield in the County of York, Ironfounder, do hereby
declare the nature of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN KITCHEN RANGES,
COOKING STOVES, HEATING APPARATUS, AND APPLIANCES CONNECTED THERE WITH,'
to be as follows :-

The object of our Invention is to provide an improved arrangement and construction
of boiler for heating water which although applicable to ordinary Kitchen Ranges,
Cooking Stoves and Heating Apparatus, is more particularly designed to be used in
combination with an improved fire grate or fire place such as is described in the
Specification of a Patent dated 16th February 1887 and numbered 2418, which was
granted to Hedley Stanley Moorwood, one of the parties to the present application.
The improvements claimed in the Specification referred to, as applied to a fire grate
or fire place of a furnace, stove, kitelien range and the like, comprise an arrangement
and combination of parts and appliances by means of which the fire bars, fire grate
or hearth on which the fuel is laid, during the process of combustion may be raised
or lowered as occasion requires.
Hot water boilers of the class herein referred to are frequently made of a form
known as an Ell or boot boiler, .e. the vortical cross section of such a boiler
resembles the letter L, or a boot, the latter designation will better enable us to
describe our Invention.
Such boilers are generally fixed with what may be called tho toe of the boot
towards the fire, the leg being upwards, the setting of the boiler being so arranged
that the heat from the firo passes in a horizontal direction under the bottom or sole
towards the heel and thence upwards along what may be called the back of the leg of
the boiler.
Our improvements consist, first, in the mode of setting such a boiler and secondly
in the form and construction, and though applicable to open ranges or stoves the
advantages will be better understood if described in connection with a close range or
kitchener such as is known as a Leamington Range which can be used with either an
open or close fire.
Our improved mode of setting the boiler consists in fixing it upside down so that
what was previously called the sole lies uppermost horizontally under the rear part of
the hot plate, the toe still being towards the front or fire, when so sot, the heat from
the fire may be directed by a suitably formed flue to pass along the toe and down-
wards along what may be called the instep and the front part of the leg to the top of
the leg and thence upwards along the back of the leg to the waste flue or as an alterna-
tive method when less heat is required by the employment of a damper or dampers
the heat may be directed between what we have previously called the sole and the
underside of the hot plate and thence to the waste fluc.
Our improved form of construction consists first in placing a tube or tubes which
may be either cylindrical or elliptical or other convenient form through what may be
called the foot of the boiler so that the heat may be directed first upwards between
the underside of the hot plate and what we have previously called the sole and thence
downwards through the tube or tubes from the sole to the instep, thence along the front
top and back of the leg as previously described, (it being born in mind that the similés
herein employed apply to the parts of a boot irrespective of its being upside-down).
A further improvement in the form of the boiler we effect by dispensing with the
sharp angles and by curving or rounding the surfaces along which the flame passes.

page_text: It will thus be seen that a much larger heating surface may be obtained and likewise
an improved and stronger form of boiler.
As a further modification in some cases the boiler may be constructed with a tube
or tubes passing horizontally from the front to the back of the leg by means of which
a further increase of heating surface and strength may be obtained.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Kitchen Ranges, Cooking Stoves, Heating Apparatus,
and Appliances connected therewith.
We, EDWARD BINGHAM, Junior, of 101 Fulham Road London, in the County of
Middlesex, Ironmonger, and HEDLEY STANLEY MOORWOOD, of the Harleston fron
Works, Harleston Street, Sheffield in the County of York, Ironfounder, do hereby
declare the nature of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN KITCHEN RANGES,
COOKING STOVES, HEATING APPARATUS AND APPLIANCES CONNECTED THEREWITH,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
ג:
The object of our Invention is to provide an improved arrangement and construc-
tion of boiler for heating water which although applicable to ordinary Kitchen
Ranges, Cooking Stoves and Heating Apparatus, is more particularly designed to be
used in combination with an improved firo grate or fire place such as is described
in the Specification of a Patent dated 16th February 1887 and numbered 2,418,
which was granted to Hedley Stanley Moorwood, one of the parties to the present
application.
The improvements claimed in the Specification referred to, as applied to a fire
grate or fire place of a furnace, stove, kitchen range and the like; comprise an
arrangement and combination of parts and appliances by means of which the fire
bars, fire grate or hearth on which the fuel is laid, during the process of combustion
may be raised or lowered as occasion requires.
Hot water boilers of the class herein referred to are frequently made of a form
known as an Ell or boot, boiler i.e. the vertical cross section of such a boiler
resembles the letter L or a boot, the latter designation will better enable us to
describe our Invention.
Such boilers are generally fixed with what may be called the toe of the boot
towards the fire, the leg being upwards, the setting of the boiler being so arranged
that the heat from the fire passes in an horizontal direction under the bottom or sole
towards the heel and thence upwards along what may be called the back of the leg of
the boiler.
Our improvements consist, first in the mode of setting such a boiler and secondly
in the form and construction and though applicable to open ranges or stoves the
advantages will be better understood if described in connection with a close range or
kitchener such as is known as a Leamington Range which can be used with either an
open or close fire.
•
Our improved mode of setting the boiler consists in fixing it upside down so that
what was previously called the sole lies uppermost horizontally under the rear part of
the hot plate, the toe still being towards the front or fire, when so set, the heat from
the fire may be directed by a suitably formed flue to pass along the too and down-
wards along what may be called the instep and the front part of the leg to the top of
the leg and thence upwards along the back of the leg to the waste Hue or as an
alternative method when less heat is required by the employment of a damper or
dampers the heat may be directed between what we have previously called the sole and
the underside of the hot plate and thence to the waste flue.
Our improved form of construction consists first in placing a tube or tubes which
may be either cylindrical or elliptical or other convenient form through what may be

page_text: 7, is the boiler lid.
The dotted lines j, represent an elliptical or other convenient form of tube or tubes
formed through what has been previously called the foot of the boiler and,
k, is a tube or tubes, which in some cases, may be placed to carry the heat from the
front to the back of the boiler, such tube or tubes being placed either above or below
the damper as circumstances may require.
The arrows in full lines indicate the direction in which the flame and waste gases
are directed along the heating surfaces of our improved boiler as ordinarily at work;
the arrows in dotted lines indicate the direction the flame and waste gases will take
when the damper, e, is closed, which will be in the direction of the line C, to D,
between the underside of the hot plate, d, and the upper surface of the boiler, b.
When a boiler is constructed with a tube or tubes, j, the heated currents will pass
either up or down. such tubes according to the position of the damper, e, and whether
it be opened or closed.
When a tube or tubes, k, are employed the heated currents may be directed through
them or otherwise according to the arrangement and position of the damper, e.
The further improvements in the form of the boiler are represented by the curved
and rounded surfaces along which the flame passes on its way from the fire grate, a,
to the waste flue, c, as indicated by the full line arrows.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what wo
claim is:
(1.) In kitchen ranges, cooking stoves and heating apparatus, the arrangement,
construction and setting of a boiler for heating water, in combination with an
improved fire grate or fire place such as is described in the Specification of a Patent,
dated the 16th of February, 1887, and numbered 2,418, which was granted to

page_text: Hedley Stanley Moorwood, one of the parties to the present application, substantially
as and for the purposes berein described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
(2.) The arrangement, construction and setting of a boiler for heating water in
combination with the parts and appliances herein described, by means of which it
