PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Kitchen-range and other Boilers for
Heating Water for Domestic and other Purposes.
I, JOSEPH HORROCKS of 10 Union Street Southport Sanitary Plumber, Hot Water
and Ventilating Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to cylinders employed in
connection with kitchen-range and other boilers for heating water for domestic and
other purposes and consists in providing means whereby the old and objectionable
nuisance of rumbling in hot-water cylinders at present employed will be entirely
removed. It is well known that the cause of the aforesaid nuisance arises through the
boiling water or steam from the boiler behind the fire coming in contact with the
volume or body of water of a lower temperature in the said cylinder. To overcome
this defect I provide the ordinary hot-water cylinder with copper or other tubes or
pipes disposed between the return pipe from the boiler to the cylinder and the upper
end of the latter, or between the return pipe and the bot-water-pipe leading from the
said cylinder to the expansion pipe, or pipe conveying the heated water to the bath,
sink, and other places, by which arrangement hot water can be drawn direct from
the boiler behind the fire without passing through the cylinder. This arrangement of
cubes also facilitates circulation between the boiler and the cylinder when water is
not being drawn from the same, the boiling water or steam passing into the upper
end of the cylinder, or into the outlet hot-water pipe as desired, or at a point
considerably above the water in the cylinder for supplying the boiler behind the
fire.

Improvements in or relating to Kitchen-range and other Boilers for
Heating Water for Domestic and other Purposes.
I, JOSEPH HORROCKS of 10 Union Street, Southport in the County of Lancaster,
Sanitary Plumber, Hot Water, and Ventilating Engineer, 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 :-

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figs. 1 to 6 are vertical elevations of hot-water cylinders and pipe connections
employed in conjunction with kitchen-range and other boilers for heating water for
domestic and other purposes with my improvement applied to prevent the old and
objectionable nuisance of rumbling.
In all the figures the same letters are employed to indicate corresponding parts.
The arrows on the various figures indicate the direction the water travels to and
from the cylinder and pipes.
A is the hot-water cylinder; B the cold-water supply pipe; C the outlet from
the cylinder A to the kitchen-range or other boiler: D the hot-water return pipe
from the kitchen-range or other boiler to the cylinder A, and E is a pipe for
conveying hot water from the cylinder A to the bath, sink, or other places, also to
the expansion pipe.
My invention consists in providing the pipe G to couple the hot-water return
pipe D with the pipe E, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by which arrangement hot
water can be drawn direct from the boiler behind the fire without passing through
the cylinder A, thereby preventing boiling water and steam coming in contact
with the volume or hody of water of a lower temperature in the cylinder A.
Fig. 3 is an arrangement wherein the pipe D is disconnected from the cylinder A
and coupled direct to the pipe E by the pipe G forming my improvement.
In another arrangement the pipe G couples the pipe D to the upper end of the
cylinder A, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, by which arrangement hot water can be drawn
direct from the boiler and passed to the upper end of the cylinder A without passing
through the volume or body of water of a lower temperature in the lower or bottom
end of the cylinder A. Fig. 6 is an arrangement wherein the pipe D is disconnected
from the lower end of the cylinder A, but is coupled to the upper end of the latter
by the pipe G forming my improvement.
The pipes B, C, D, E, and G are connected to the cylinder A in the usual manner,
and can be provided with union joints or their equivalents to facilitate fixing.
Having thus stated the nature of my invention and described the mode of per-
forming the same I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the
precise details or configuration of the parts I have shown and described, which are
obviously capable of considerable variation according to circumstances, without.
departing from the principle of my invention, but what I claim and desire to be
secured to me by Letters Patent is :-
1. Coupling the hot-water return pipe D to the outlet pipe E on the hot-water
cylinder A by means of the pipe G or its equivalent for the purpose specified substan-
tially as described.
2. Coupling the hot-water return pipe D to the upper end of the cylinder A by
means of the pipe G or its equivalent for the purpose specified substantially as
described.
