PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Effecting the Heating of Tanks or Containers
of Flax and like Fibrous Producing Substances, and in the
Arrangement of Pipes for the purpose.
I, THOMAS LARGE HENLY, of 72 Sinclair Road, Kensington, County of London,
Flax Scutcher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object, certain improved means for effecting the heating of
Tanks or Containers of Flax and like fibrous producing substances and in the
arrangement of pipes for the purpose.
For the purpose of my invention, I connect the open end or ends of one or more
single pipes to a Tank, Vat, or Boiler, and lead the free closed end or ends of each
into a horizontal flue and over the fire of a furnace all of said pipes being preferably
on the same level but they may be superposed.
The single pipe or pipes thus arranged take up the heat of the fire and also
of the gases and products of combustion while passing to the uptake or chimney.
Each single pipe forms its own return for circulation purposes, the liquor
stratifying itself in the single pipes.
By placing a partition centrally along each pipe the circulation will be increased.

Improved Means for Effecting the Heating of Tanks or Containers
of Flax and like Fibrous Producing Substances, and in the
Arrangement of Pipes for the purpose.
I, THOMAS LARGE HENLY, of 72 Sinclair Road, Kensington, County of London,
Flax Scutcher, 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 :-
This invention has for object, certain improved means for effecting the heating of
Tanks or Containers of Flax and like fibrous producing substances and in the
arrangement of pipes for the purpose.
The annexed drawings show my invention. Figure 1 sectional elevation of furnace,
single tube and tank. Figure 2 similar elevation of furnace, superposed tubes and

page_text: tank. Figure 3 plan of three tubes and tank. Figure 4 section of partitioned
tube.
According to my invention, I connect the open end or ends A of one or more single
pipes A¹ to a Tank, Vat, or Boiler B, and lead the free closed end C or ends of each
into a horizontal flue D and over the fire of a furnace E, all of said pipes being
preferably on the same level but they may be superposed.
The single pipe or pipes thus arranged take up the heat of the fire and also of the
gases and products of combustion while passing to the uptake or chimney F.
Each single pipe forms its own return for circulation purposes, the liquor
stratifying itself in the single pipes.
By placing a partition G, Figure 4, centrally along each pipe, the circulation will
be increased.
The inner or fire ends of the pipes A' may be jumped up, as at Figure 1, be
capped, as at Figure 2, or plugged, as at Figure 3.
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 :-
1. The herein described improved means for effecting the heating of Tanks or
Containers of Flax and like fibrous producing substances and in the arrangement of
pipes for the purpose, as set forth.
2. The employment of single pipes set in relation to furnaces and tanks, or the
like, as set forth.
3. The fixing of ordinary single pipes having one end closed in flues and furnaces,
and the other end open in Tanks for producing circulation and the transmission of
heat, whether said single pipes be arranged in lines, or in tiers, or superposed, as
desired and as described.
