Year: 1796

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, EDMUND
LLOYD, of the Strand, in the Parish of Saint Clement Danes, in the Liberty of
Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, Tinplate Worker and Furnishing
Ironmonger, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date the
Thirty-first day of October, in the thirty-seventh year of His reign, did give
and grant unto me, the said Edmund Lloyd, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, His especial licence that I, the said Edmund Lloyd, during the term
of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and vend, within that part of the Kingdom of Great Britain called England,
the Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of
"A TEA KETTLE OR TEA BOILER, ON A NEW CONSTRUCTION, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
BOILING WATER MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY AND AT MUCH LESS EXPENSE;" in which said
Letters Patent is contained a proviso, obliging me, the said Edmund Lloyd,
by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, to cause a particular
description of my said Invention, and how the same is to be performed, to be
inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within one calendar
month after the date of the said Letters Patent, as in and by the same Letters
Patent, relation being thereunto had, may more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in pursuance of, the said proviso,, I, the said
Edmund Lloyd, do declare that my said Invention is composed and made in
the manner and form following, that is to say:-
The merits of this my said Invention in no wise depend on any peculiar
metal of which these my said invented tea kettles or tea boilers are to be made,
but their essential properties and superior excellence entirely depend on the
peculiar construction of the kettle and application of the heat, whence result
the small quantity of fuel necessary to be consumed in it, and likewise its
being more convenient, more durable, and its taking a less space of time than
any other means hitherto found out or invented for boiling water, fluids, or
other culinary purposes, as well as for distilling and brewing; and farther. its
being applicable with equal propriety and success, for the raising of steam for
communicating motion to engines, pumps, and machinery, without altering or
losing any of its essential properties within mentioned. The shape and size
also of the said tea kettle or boiler may be varied indeterminately, as occasion
may require, without in the least departing from that principle on which their
superior efficacy and utility depend. and farther, they may be made of china,
Staffordshire, Welsh ware, or (for the accommodation of the lower orders of
people) of any fire-proof earth, metal, or material whatever, and of any con-
venient shape.
The Figures in the Drawing above made, together with the demonstration
or description therein and herein-after mentioned, will plainly shew the true
nature, construction, and disposition of all the parts of this my said Invention.
The Figure in the above Drawing marked Figure 1 represents the section of
the whole apparatus as ready for use, the several parts of which will bo best
understood by reference to the following Figures, which are marked with the
same letters as the corresponding or similar parts in this section. Figure 2
represents the outside view of the kettle or boiler not attached to the fire
cylinder or furnace. A is the top where the water or other fluid is introduced,
B the cock, for discharging the same when required; C; C, the rim at the
bottom of the kettle or boiler, which fits closely on to the fire cylinder or
furnace; L, M, D, the funnel, pipe, or tube, for carrying off the smoke; on
the end of this funnel may be fitted a pipe or tube of any convenient length,
for conveying the smoke to a chimney, or to the external air at any distance
required. Figure 8, A, B, C, D, represents the fire-place, perforated with
holes near the top; it is fitted round that part of the kettle or boiler which
contains the water; around this fire-place the heat and smoke revolve; the
lower edge or rim of the said fire-place is fixed at the elevation of the cock B,

page_text: or thereabouts (see Figure 1, wherein A, B, C, D, represents the section of
the fire plate in its proper position). Figure 4 the kettle or boiler which con-
tains the water or other fluid, and is fixed within the fire-plate; and the cock B
(see Figures 1 and 2) is inserted into the tube or pipe E. Figure 5, the flew,
for conveying the heat into the centre of the kettle or boiler, within which it is
fixed;
G, the flew; II, the conductor, terminating in a small orifice at 1, for the
purpose of creating a draught for the flame. Figure 6 represents the chaffing
lish or stove, for holding a sheet of paper, a small quantity of shavings, wood,
charcoal, cotton, with oil or spirits, or any other fuel, which being lighted and
introduced in the chaffing dish or stove at the door K of the fire cylinder or
furnace L, M, will cause a gallon of water or any other fluid to boil in a few
minutes.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edmund Lloyd, have hereunto put my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of November, in the year of our
Lord One thousand seven hundred and ninety-six.
Inrolled the same Twenty-first day of November, in the year above
written.
