PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Tubes for Cooling and Heating Purposes
specially adapted for Brewers, Dyers, Dairies and other Trade
Uses, also for Condensing Steam and Vapours.
I, WILHELM SCHMIDT, of Bretten, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Empire of
Germany, Brewer's Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for object, a special construction or formation of tubes in
straight lengths, in curved lengths, or in segmental lengths, each having one flat
face and two different angled faces partially rounded and with loop edges or corners.
The ends are splayed out as flanges or have flanged attachments for their connection
to trough like shields which are provided with couplings for the attachment of
flexible hose or pipes for the transmission of water or liquor to be cooled or heated,
or for the passing of cooling or heating water for temperating liquor flowing over
the tubes in succession, into a trough, gutter, or otherwise.
These tubes are separately made and can be built up in series to a backing of any
quantity, or they can be set back to back alternately for the cooling or temperating
operation from each side wall. If the series be of segmental shape in their length
glut rings can be passed over each one in succession for each upper one to rest on
and so form a rigid structure without bolts or other fasteners, and if straight lengths
of tubes be used, the end sockets and shields form upright pillars which will bond
the series rigidly as a vertical structure.

Improved Construction of Tubes for Cooling and Heating Purposes,
specially adapted for Brewers, Dyers, Dairies and other Trade
Uses, also for Condensing Steam and Vapours.
I, WILHELM SCHMIDT, of Bretten, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Empire of
Germany, Brewer's Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention which I show at Figure 1 of the annexed drawings, Figures 2
and 3 being examples of structures built up of my improved tubes, has for object
Price 877

page_text: a special construction or formation of tubes A, A, in straight lengths as at Figure 2,
in circular, as at Figure 3, or curved lengths, or in segmental lengths, each having
one flat face B and two different angled faces C, D, partially rounded and with loop
edges or corners E. The bends F may be splayed out as flanges, or have flanged
attachments G to trough like appliances H which are provided with pipes, taps, and
couplings I, I, for the attachment of flexible hose or pipes for the transmission of
water or liquor to be cooled or heated, or for the passing of cooling or heating water
for temperating liquor flowing over the tubes in succession, into a trough or
gutter J, or otherwise.
These tubes A are separately made and can be built up in series to a backing of
any quantity, or they can be set back to back alternately for the cooling or tem-
perating operation from each side wall. If the series be of ring or circular or of
segmental shape in their length, glut rings K, such as shown in dotted lines at
Figure 1, can be passed over each one in succession for each upper one to rest on
and so form a rigid structure without bolts or other fasteners, and if straight lengths
of tubes be used, the end sockets and shields H form upright pillars which will bond
the series rigidly as a vertical structure.
As before mentioned, Figures 2 and 3 are only examples of structures and form
no part of my invention, except as illustrations of applications to which my tube
invention is available.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is:-
:-
The tubes A of the shape or configuration shown or substantially of such shape
or configuration and consisting of one flat or nearly flat side B, two angled
portions C, D, rounded or loop ends E and bends F with or without the glut rings or
supports Gas and for the purpose specified.
