PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boilers for Kitchen Fire-places or Ranges
and the like.
We, FREDERICK TYERS, of 247 Mansfield Road, Plumber, and OswALD
BARNSDALE of Lucknow Drive, Tobacco Manufacturer, both in the Borough of
Nottingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to boilers used in connection with cooking ranges or
other fireplaces for heating water and it has for its object the improvement of such
boilers so as to make them more efficient and also to enable parts of the said boilers
to be used to protect the sides of the fireplace from the direct action of
the fire.
To effect this the boiler is constructed as follows;-From the front of the boiler
which serves for the back of the fireplace are two hollow side extensions or
continuations of the boiler which project preferably to the front grating. These
extensions act as fire cheeks to protect the two sides of the fireplace from the
fierceness of the fire which is thus contained between the two extensions and the
front of the boiler and the front bars and bottom grate of the fireplace.
With this arrangement the power of the boiler for heating water is greatly
increased the extensions above described also act as fire cheeks and are practically
indestructible as the water within them prevents them from over-heating and
burning, as is the case with ordinary fire-clay or metal cheeks that are
in use.
now
The boiler as described is specially adapted for heating water to circulate
through pipes for heating purposes.
The manhole or cover is preferably let into a recess so that its upper surface is
Hush with the top of the boiler and the joint is thus better protected from
the heat.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boilers. for Kitchen Fire-places or Ranges
and the like.
We FREDERICK TYERS, of 247 Mansfield Road, Plumber, and OswALD
BARNSDALE, of Lucknow Drive, Tobacco. Manufacturer, both in the Borough of
Nottingham, 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 boilers used in connection with cooking ranges or like
fire-places for the purpose of heating water, and it has for its object improvements
in such boilers so as to make them more efficient and also to enable parts of the.
said boilers to be used to protect the sides of the fire-place from the direct action
of the fire.
It will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings in

page_text: The front a of the boiler which in this class of boiler forms the back of the fire-
place is formed with one or more but preferably two hollow side extensions or
continuations 6 of the boiler which project preferably to the front grating, these
extensions act as fire cheeks to protect the two sides of the fireplace from the
fiercest part of the fire which is contained between the two extensions 6 and the
front of the boiler, and the front bars and bottom grate of the fire-place.
If desirable the two sides and back of the boiler may be formed with projecting
ribs d which form air spaces between the boiler and surrounding brickwork, which
air spaces are connected with the fire by passages e in the extensions & and the
flues under the boiler.
The manhole cover y is let into a recess formed round the manhole so that its
upper surface is flush with the top of the boiler and the joint is thus better
protected from the heat.
With the arrangement described the power of the boiler for heating water
is greatly increased and it is specially adapted for heating water to circulate
through a system of pipes for general heating purposes, the extensions balso
act as fire cheeks and are more indestructible as the water contained within
prevents them from becoming overheated and burnt as is the case with the fire clay
or metal cheeks in ordinary use.
Having particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A boiler such as described having an extension such as bon one or both sides
substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
2. In a boiler such as specified the employment of projecting ribs such as d
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
3. The combination with a boiler such as described having one or more extensions
such as of projecting ribs such as d and passages e and substantially as and for
the purpose described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
