Improvements in Boilers and Tap connected therewith.
I CHARLES DAMON YATES, of 24 Tunstall Road Brixton in the County of Surrey
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvement consists in boiler & tap connected therewith.
In carrying out my invention 1 proceed namely as follows-
1st. The tap consists of a conical or other shaped body and plug or key, having
two inlets and two outlets connected therewith for the purpose of passing gas and
water or any other fluid through the one tap.
My plug or key is fitted into the body, having corresponding passages to the inlet
and outlet above named, having in the centre a well and bar of corresponding shape
connected with the gas passage forming a check valve for regulating the pressure of
gas without shutting off the main gas or water passage which is regulated by a key
or lever connected to the head of the above named plug admitting or shutting off
both gas and water or any other fluids with the one action. The gas outlot is fitted
to an atmospheric burner constructed in the inner case hereafter mentioned. From
the gas inlet I insert a small pipe and pass the other end of pipe into centre of
atmospheric burner above named, forming a by pass or pilot light igniting gas from
burner of which hot air passes through the outer side of coil or coils impinging upon
the chamber or superior heater hereafter to he named.
Giving boiling water as it passes through the coil or coils.
2nd. The boiler consists of coils of tubing of any suitable section, the inlet being
at the top or bottom as desired. The lower portion of the centre coil is fitted
immediately over the burner and the other end of the said coil being connected to a
chamber forming a superior heater in the shape of a saucer. The water or fluid
issuing into a outer coil, flows through same into the above named chamber and
thence by inner coil made of triple conical formation to the outlet. In the centre
of top plate of the above named, I place a self acting safety valve enclosed in a
shell, constructed of any suitable material forming a safeguard against overpressure
of steam or water. At the top or side of the piston or lever rod of the above
named safety valve, I fix one end of a spring or lever of any suitable shape or
material, having on the other end of the spring, a hammer which by the rising of
the piston or lever rod, which is forced upwards by the pressure of steam or
water which by its pressure into the body of the above named valve impinging upon
the seated flange of the piston rod which forces open the valve thus raising the piston
or lever rod bringing the above named hammer in contact with a bell or indicator
of any suitable kind or shape, that will indicate to the operator that the water or
liquid is boiling. The hell or indicator is fixed in any convenient part of the boiler.
The whole of the above named constructions are enclosed by a case jacket or jackets.
The outer jacket having a space of any suitable dimensions, packed with asbestos,
silicate cotton, or any none conducting material of heat keeping the hot air confined
to the interior and the outer case perfectly cool.

. I, CHARLES DAMON YATES of 24 Tunstall Road, Brixton in the County of Surrey
Engineer, 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 :-
My invention relates to water boilers and tap connected therewith. Gas and
water are turned on simultanously by one tap, for supplying instantanously
boiling water in an economical and expeditious manner for teas and other purposes.
And in order that the said invention may be perfectly understood I shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same, and for that purpose shall reter
to the accompanying sheet of drawing the same letter of reference indicating
corresponding parts in the drawing. A is the tap consisting of a conical or other
shaped body having two inlets and two outlets B and C. B shewing the gas
inlet and outlet, and the water inlet and outlet. D plug or key connected there-
with having corresponding passages to B and C. having in the centre of plug or
key D a well and bar E of corresponding shape forming a check valve of gas
passage B for regulating the pressure of gas as to the power of heat required by
the moving of the centre bar E to right and left regulating the pressure of gas
required without shutting off the whole of the main gas supply or water passage
which is regulated by a key or lever F connected to the head of the above named
plug or key D admitting or shutting off both gas and water B C with the one
action as the gas is only consumed during the time the water or other fluid is being
drawn off. The gas outlet B is connected to an atmospheric burner G constructed
in the inner case hereafter mentioned from the gas inlet B 1 insert a small pipe H
and pass the other end of the pipe H into the centre of atmospheric burner G forming
a by pass or pilot light H igniting gas from burner G of which hot air passes
through the outer sides of coil or coils and impinging upon the chamber or super
heater hereafter named giving boiling water as it passes through the coil or coils.
My improved water boiler consists of coil or coils of tubing of any suitable section.
1 is the inlet being at the top or bottom as desired passing water through the outer
coil outlet of tap forms an inlet to half a coll I discharging its water or fluid into
the chamber or superheater J which is constructed in the shape of a saucer having
a space between top and bottom plate of any dimensions allowing the water or fluid
to be partly heated before passing into the coil or coils K made of treble conical or
any formation which is connected to bottom plate of chamber J the lower part of
which is fitted immediately over the burner G and discharges its water or fluid at
outlet L. In some cases I use a flat coil instead of chamber or superheater J at
the top of which I place a self' acting safety valve M enclosed in a shell N of any
suitable material forming a safeguard against overpressure of water or steam which
discharges itself into the shell N. and is conveyed into the waste pipe N N by means
of a tube inserted into the bottom of the shell N. At the top or side of the piston
or lever rod of the above named safety valve I fix one end of a spring or lever of
any suitable shape or material having on the other end of the spring a hammer
which by the rising of the piston or lever rod which is forced upward by the pressure
of steam or water which by its pressure into the body of the above named valve
impinging upon the seated flange of the piston rod which forces open the valve thus
raising the piston or lever rod bringing the above named hammer in contact with
a bell or indicator O of any suitable kind or shape that will indicate to the operator
that the water or liquid is boiling. The bell or indicator is fixed in any convenient
part of the boiler. The whole of the above named constructions are enclosed in a
case jacket P.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and the manner in which it may be carried into effect I also wish it to he

page_text: understood that I do not confine myself to the exact details of mode of construction
herein described reserving the right to modify, but what I claim as my invention
and desire to be secured by the herein before part recited Letters Patent is.
The mode of passing the gasous carbon and liquor through the on tap and
check valve as above described and shown in letters from A also the combinations
of coil or coils and superheater, and bell or indicator as shown to effect the immediate
of water or other liquid in the coil or coils placed as shown in the accompanying
drawing.
