I, JOHN WHITTAKER, 378, Huddersfield Road, Oldham, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists of an adjustable metal frame for fixing to the walls to receive the
tops of coppers or boilers for heating water or other purposes and which frames
are so grooved that after fixing the tops can be easily removed for repairs to
boilers and replaced without taking down any portion of the flue or damaging
the walls or paint.
A on Fig. 1 is a metal plate and is grooved to receive tops as shown on Fig. 2.
E on Fig. 1 is the ordinary steam flue vent. The plate A Fig. 1 also acts as
bearer for brickwork neccessary to complete the flue after the boiler is built.
B, B are the side frames of section shown at Fig. 3 and are adjustable by having
curved joints at D Fig. 1 into plate A which allow of the side frames being
fixed at different angles and are secured to the walls by screws or nails through
slot in B as C Fig. 1. F, on Fig. 1 is a pin which fixes top to frame and which
on being taken out the top can be withdrawn from grooves.
Fig. 2 is the elevation of the plate A Fig. 1 showing grooves to receive the top.
Fig. 3 is the section of the side frames B, B Fig. 1 showing groove for top to
slide into.
