IMPROVEMENT IN HOT-WATER RESERVOIRS FOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,958, dated December 17, 1872.

To all whomoz't may concern:

Be it known that we, HORATIO N. WATERS,

of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, and GEORGE W. LAS- T CELL, of Syracuse, in the county of- Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Apparatus for Heating and Purifying Water; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention consists in certain mechan- Q ical arrangements for arresting and confining the heated gases from a stove or other similar fire, and inclosing the same with a waterreservoir, from which hot water can be drawn,

as desired. It also consists in the application of devices for cleaning the said apparatus, and

removing the accumulation of sediment from the water or soot from the interior smokepipes as often as may be requisite.

7 In theaccompa-nying drawing,Arepresents a stove. B is a pipe leading into the interior "drum or cylinder 0 near its top. D is a pipe leading from the inside of 0, near the bottom, upward, and opens into the air or an ordinary chimney. E is a water cylinder or reservoir surrounding G, and leaving a space on all sides and the top and bottom, so that'the the interior chamber 0, as shown by the dotted line. G is a cock for drawing hot water from E. H is a waste-pipe for blowing off the sediment or emptying E, when required. It

is providedwith a stop-cock, which is ordinarily kept closed. I is a hand-hole passing through the exterior chamber E for the purpose of cleaning out the accumulation of soot in the chamber 0. J is a hand-hole near the bottom of the water-reservoir for the purpose of removing any deposit that may accumulate on the bottom. All sediment can be thus cleaned out easily at any time, and keep the water pure and clean.

The reservoir E may have a safety-valve or a cock in the top to allow of the escape of steam or air.

The water is heated nearly or quite to the boiling-point in the following manner: The heated gases passing through B enter the top of G, and pass downward as they cool by imparting heat to the water. The hottest part of the water being at the top, by the continued rising of the heated particles, and the coolest part being at the bottom, where the cold water enters, the heat is almost entirely abstracted from the gases before they reach the bottom and pass oil through the pipe D.

Claims.

What we claim as our invention is- 1. The combination and arrangement of the. cylinders O and E with the entrance and exit pipes B and I), substantially as herein described.

2. The combination and arrangement of the cylinders U and E with-the hand-holes I and J, substantially as herein described.

3. The arrangement of the devices B G D E F G H I J substantially in the'manner described, to form a heating apparatus.
