PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Tea-urn, also applicable to other Infusions.
I, ALFONS VON PARYCZKO, of Hoza Street 12, Varsovie, Warsaw, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to that class of tea-urns which hitherto have had the
source of heat under & external to the urn, and which have been usually formed
in such a manner that a thorough cleansing is rendered very difficult; and the
object of my invention is to provide an enclosed chamber for the reception of
the fuel, and also such a construction of the parts that the operation of cleansing
is rendered both simple and efficient.
According to my invention I construct the body of the urn in two parts, the
outer portion may be of any approved form, the upper part having an opening
of sufficient dimensions to admit the insertion of an internal heating chamber,
which is secured to the external portion of the urn by means of screw clips, lugs,
or the like, whereby the flanges of both parts of the urn are united.
The inner heating or combustion chamber is fitted with one or more passage
or passages, through which air descends to and passes through suitable openings
in the lower part of the combustion chamber. The upper part of the combustion
chamber consists of a flue or chimney for the escape of the products of combustion.
An ornamental or other cover is placed upon the body of the urn, having an
inner flange provided with openings corresponding with the inlets for air. By
turning the same in either direction the admission of air may be regulated as
required.
The water or other material to be heated is placed in the outer vessel, and
is drawn out through suitable taps; and the fuel, whether solid or liquid, is
inserted in the inner chamber from the top.
In order to cleanse the urn the several portions are taken apart, the internal
and external parts being then readily accessible.

I, ALFONS VON PARYCZKO, of Hoza Street 12, Varsovie, Warsaw, do hereby
declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed. to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-

of sufficient dimensions to admit the insertion of an internal heating chamber,
which is secured to the external portion of the urn by means of screw clips, lugs,
or the like, whereby the flanges of both parts of the urn are united.
The inner heating or combustion chamber is fitted with one or more passage
or passages, through which air descends to and passes through suitable openings
in the lower part of the combustion chamber. The upper part of the combustion
chamber consists of a flue or chimney for the escape of the products of combustion.
An ornamental or other cover is placed upon the body of the urn, having an
inner flange provided with openings corresponding with the inlets for air. By
turning the same in either direction the admission of air may be regulated as
required.
The water or other material to be heated is placed in the outer vessel, and
is drawn out through suitable taps; and the fuel, whether solid or liquid, is
inserted in the inner chamber from the top.
In order to cleanse the urn the several portions are taken apart, the internal
and external parts being then readily accessible.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is an external elevation
of the combustion chamber, drawn at right angles to Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a
plan of the cover.
C
a is the combustion chamber, having air openings at a¹. a³ ³ are two air
channels attached to the combustion chamber. ² is a chimney attached to the
upper end of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is sustained
in position by the plate a, which is clamped to the outer receptacle by screw
clamps d d. c is a head piece, through which air passes to the passages a³. The
head piece has passages for air at c and regulating openings at 3 corresponding
with the apertures a (as shown in Fig. 3). By partially rotating the head piece
on its centre the apertures can be partially or entirely closed, for retaining the
heat of combustion. e is an aperture for the insertion of the water or other
fluid required to be heated, which may be drawn out by means of a cock or tap
fitted to the lower part of the receptacle 6; the latter is fitted with handles as
shown.
The fuel, whether liquid or solid, is inserted in the chamber a through the
chimney a².
The heating of the water is effected in a very short time, as it completely
surrounds the heating body a, the walls of which may be corrugated to increase
the heating surface.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:―
In a teá-urn, also applicable to other infusions, the combination of a heating
chamber a suspended in an outer vessel b, the chamber a having air channels
or passages 3 and regulating air valves or passages a, severally operating sub-
stantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated by the drawings.
