MORRIS BORSODI, OF SCRANTON,

KLEINMANN, OF BRO PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO LEO OKLYN, NEW YORK.

\NATERJ-IEATER.

Specification of Application filed August 28,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Mourns Bonsoni, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Scranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain newand useful WVater-Heater, of

others skilled in the art to which it apper- This invention relates to appliances whereby water may be heated,,or converted into steam, in a very short space of time, and it has for itsv object the provision of an apparatus of the'kind set forth, simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and which operates efficiently in practical use.

To attain the desired end, this, my invention, consists irf the construction, arrangement and operation of parts herein set forth.

. In order to enable the invention to be fully understood, I shall proceed to explain the same by reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specifica tion, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of an apparatus constructed according to my invention, Fig. 2 is a side elevation bf the same, Fig. 3 1s a plan View thereof, and Fig. t is a View in detail showing a transverse section of my heating chamber.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring particularly by reference characters to the drawings, A, A represent my double metal casing forming a water jacket and reservoir of my heating apparatus, which is fed by means of the water supply pipe B, intermediate of which is located my supply cylinder C, provided with a piston rod (Z having a series of piston heads. When the water is turned on so as to flow through the pipe '13 it serves to raise the piston rod d a sufficient distance to put the said cylinder into operative connection with the gas and water supply pipes, and to allow the fluid to pass through the port 6 located at the lower part, of the cylinder to and through the port 5 of the casing A, A, and thereby charge the water jacket.

A gas supply pipe E is connected with the upper portion of the cylinder C, which is also connected by the pipe E- with the Letters Patent Patented Mar. 19, 191.2.

1909. Serial No. 515,115.

burner tube G: which extends into the easin A, A, and is provided with burners, preferably ofthe Bunsentype. Upon the piston rod (Z being raised, the gas will enter through the port 0 into the cylinder and thence through the port 6 into the pipe E, and thence to the burner tube G". From the gas pipe at gas pilot tube e is led'int-o the chamber forming the interior of the easing A, A, so as to be positioned a short distance above the burner tube (l and afford a -I-1l0t light which may be kept burning continuously. From the water jacket, a pipe F leads to my heating chamber G, G forn'ied of a pair of plates which are kept a very separator strips g, placed at the edges there-' of, and intermediate strips g" which are preferably made shorter in order to allow a free flow of water therethrough. These heating chambers are ordinarily made so that in conformation each pair of chambers will be of V-shape, the plates G, G being preferably corrugated so as to be more readily heated;

From the various heating chambers, whichcommunicate with each other, the hot water is ordinarily led by a pipe F to a motor H, provided with blades or paddles h, in form resembling an overshot wheel, and having an outlet H larger than the size of the stream passing thereout, from whence the water is taken to be used by the pipe H located on a level with the outlet H. The water falling on the paddles below the pipe 1 1 will serve to rotate the wheel H, and the air thereby drawn in by suction through suitable inlets h in the motor casing will pass to the opposite empty side of the motor and will pass through the pipe H to the burner lube G and thus furnish the same with a supply of air under pressure in order to afford a forced draft, so as to constitute a pressure burner in cases where there is a low pressure of gas. The casing for the combined water meter and air blower has ports to allow water to fall. at one side thereof and from the said blades, and also orifices it totlllow air to rise at the other side thereof from the said blades.

I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details of construction shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

In testimony of the foregoing specification I do hereby sign the same in the cit of New York, count I and State of New York this tenth day. of July 1909.
