.Improvements in Baths or Combined Bath and Hot Water Tank or
Cistern.
I ALFRED DOUGILL of 36 Great George Street, Leeds Yorkshire Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly dascribed and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
..
To have a Tank made in one or more parts, and placed inside of this, an ordinary 5
shaped Bath jointed to prevent any Vapour rising. The annular space between them
to form the Hot Water Cistern.
There is a valve provided to admit the hot water from this annular space to the
Bath when required, and a plug with waste water pipe to drain the Bath passing
through the Outer Tank.
The Tank will be provided with flow and return pipes leading to and from the
Boiler, having an overflow pipe with connections and suiteable filling up Basin.
I will now describe more particularly the manner in which the combination is
carried out with reference to the accompanying Drawings.
The Drawings represent the arrangement, and the reference letters indicate the
same parts in each of the views shewn thereon.
A is the Outer Tank and is made in one or more parts, with rounded corners at the
Bottom & Sides the upper edge formed for a watertight joint all round.
B is a cover made to fit on to the upper edge of Tank and having the outer
edge formed with a curve all round. The space in the middle is shaped to fit the
Bath placed therein & provided with an inner flange on which it rests.
C is an ordinary Bath provided with an outer flange or lip all round its upper
edge to fit on to and lay upon the inner flange of the cover B.
Dis the waste water pipe from the Bath C passing through the Tank A. It is
fitted with a plug and chain and made Watertight to both the Bath C and Tank A
and completes the union of the parts A B & C to form the combination of the Bath
and Hot Water Cistern in one.
E is a plug & pipe connected to the Bath near the bottom, in the annular space
between the Bath and Tank, provided with a rod and handle, carried up through the
cover B, to admit the water from the annular space to the Bath.

G is a filling in Basin fitted on to the cover B through which water is. poured to
fill the annular space between the Bath and Tank.
H, H, are the flow and réturn water pipes connected to the Boiler for heating the
water, when one is used.
In another way these pipes may be dispensed-with and the water in the Tank heated
by Gas Jets.

the water.
I do not limit myself to the precise details as described, or the materials of which
the same may be constructed, as these may be varied without prejudice and
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim are
