IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER BOILERS
Year: 1885

page_text: CHARLES DAMON YATES, of 28 Tunstall Road Brixton in the County of Surrey
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
WATER BOILERS to be as follows:-
My improvement consists in Boiler & Tap connected therewith.
In carrying out my invention I proceed namely as follows-
1st The tap consists of a conical or other shaped body & plug or key, having
two inlets & two outlets connected therewith for the purpose of passing gas &
water or any other fluid through the one tap.
My plug or key is fitted into the body, having corresponding passages to the inlet
& outlet above named, having in the center a well & bar of corresponding shape
connected with the gas passage forming a check valve for regulating the pressure
of gas, as to the power of heat required by downward pressure acting upon a
spiral spring fitted in the well above named, regulating the pressure of gas without
shutting off, the main gas or water passage which is regulated by a key or lever
connected to the head of the above named plug admitting or shutting off both, gas
& water or any other fluid's with the one action. The gas outlet is fitted to an
atmospheric burner constructed in the inner case, hereafter mentioned.
From the gas inlet I incert a small pipe & pass the other end of pipe into center
of atmospheric burner above named, forming a by pass or pilot light igniting gas
from burner of which hot air passes through the outer side of coil or coil's
impinging upon the chamber or superior heater here after to be named.
Giving boiling water as it passes through the coil or coil's
2nd The Boiler consists of coil's of tubing of any suitable section, the inlet being
at the top or bottom as desired The lower portion of the center coil is fitted
immediately over the burner and the other end of the said coil, being connected to
a chamber forming a superior heater in the shape of a saucer. The water or fluid
issuing into a outer coil, flows through same into the above named chamber &
thence by inner coil made of thribble conical formation to the outlet. In the
center of top plate of the above named, I place a self acting safety valve enclosed
in a shell, constructed of any suitable material forming a safe guard against over
pressure of steam or water, The whole of the above named constructions are
enclosed by a case jacket, or jackets, The outer jacket having a space of any
suitable dementions, packed with asbestos, silicate cotton, or any none conducting
material of heat keeping the hot air confined to the interior & the outer case
perfectly cool.

I CHARLES DAMON YATES, of 24 Tunstall Road, Brixton, in the County of
Surrey, Engineer, 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:-
My Invention relates to Water Boiler's and Tap connected therewith. Gas and
water are turned on simultaneously by one tap, for supplying instantaneously
boiling water in an economical and expeditious manner for tea's and other
purposes.
And in order that the said Invention may be perfectly understood I shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose shall refer
to the accompanying sheet of drawing the same letters of reference indicating
corresponding parts in the drawing.
A is the tap consisting of a conical or other shaped body having two inlets and
two outlets B and C, B shewing the gas inlet and outlet, and C the water inlet and
outlet. D plug or key connected therewith having corresponding passages to B
and C. having in the center of plug or key D a well and bar E of corresponding
shape forming a check valve of gas passage B for regulating the pressure of gas as
to the power of heat required by the moving of the center bar E to right and left
regulating the pressure of gas required without shutting off the whole of the main
gas supply or water passage which is regulated by a key or lever F connected to
the head of the above named plug or key D'addmitting or shutting off both gas and
water B C with the one action as the gas is only consumed during the time the
water or other fluids is being drawn off. The gas outlet B is connected to an
atmospheric burner G constructed in the inner case hereafter mentioned, from the
gas inlet BI incert a small pipe H and pass the other end of the pipe H into the
center of atmospheric burner G forming a by pass or pilot light H igniting gas
from burner G of which hot air passes through the outer sides of coil or coil's and
impinging upon the chamber or super heater hereafter named giving boiling water
as it passes through the coil or coil's.

My improved Water Boiler consists of coil or coil's of tubing of any suitable
section. I is the inlet being at the top or bottom as desired passing water through
the outer coil C outlet of tap forms an inlet to half a coil I discharging its water or
fluid into the chamber or super heater J which is constructed in the shape of a
saucer having a space between top and bottom plate of any dementions allowing
the water or fluid to be partly heated before passing into coil or coil's K made of
thribble conical or any formation which is connected to bottom plate of chamber J
the lower part of which is fitted immediately over the burner G and discharges its
water or fluid's at outlet L. In some cases I use a flat coil instead of chamber or
super heater J at the top of which I place a self acting safety valve M 'enclosed in
a shell N of any suitable material forming a safe guard against over pressure of
water or steam which discharges itself into the shell N and is conveyed into the
waste pipe N'N by means of a tube incerted into the bottom of the shell N the
whole of the above constructions named are enclosed in a case jacket or jacket's O

page_text: and P having an outlet at the top also a space of any suitable dimentions for
packing with asbestos silicate cotton, or any none conducting material of heat
for keeping the hot air confined to the interior and the outer case perfectly cool.
Having thus described the nature of my said invention and the manner in which
it may be carried into effect I also wish it to be understood that I do not confine
myself to the exact details of mode of construction here in described reserving the
right to modify but what I claim as my Invention and desire to be secured by the
herein before part recited Letters Patent is
The mode of passing the gasous carbon and liquour through the one tap and
check valve as above described and shown in letters from A also the combination of
coil or coil's and superior heater and none conducting packing of the jacket or
jacket's as shown to effect the immediate boiling of water or other liquid's in the
coil or coil's placed as shown in the accompanying drawing.
