COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of and Means for Covering Steam Boilers,
Cylinders, Valves, and Piping.
I, JOSEPH JAMES MIDDLETON, of 23, Lord Street, Oldham, in the County of
Lancaster, Steam Boiler and Pipe Coverer, 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 relates to an improved method of and means for covering steam
boilers, cylinders, valves and piping and has for its object to more effectually
prevent the radiation of heat and maintaining the slag wool or silicate of cotton in
a cleaner condition than heretofore has been the case.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet representing in perspective, for example, a steam
pipe covered according to my invention.
In carrying out my invention the improvements consist in the application to a
steam pipe a, or other object requiring covering, of one or more layers of paper,
thin cardboard, paper mounted on textile fabric, felt, or similar materials or
substances b, between an inner covering of slag wool or silicate cotton and an
outer covering of, such as, brick-work, cement, or a wood or metal casing d.
The said paper, cardboard, paper mounted on textile fabric, felt or similar
materials or substances b, not only effectually resists the radiation of heat but also
prevents the inner covering from coming in contact with the outer covering or
getting mixed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
In the method of and means for covering steam boilers, cylinders, valves and
piping and the like, the application of one or more layers of paper, thin card-
board, paper mounted on textile fabric, felt, or similar materials or substances b

of, such as, brickwork, cement, or a wood. or metal casing d, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.
