IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR STEAMING HATS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,341, dated July 1, 1873; application filed March 15, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. BANTA, of Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Apparatus for Steaming Hats, &c., of which the following is a specification:
My. invention relates to improvements in apparatus for steaming hats, and has three distinguishing features: First, an arrangement of pipes securing the circulation of hot water between a boiler and the lower part of a chamber provided with perforated shelves, in conjunction with a pipe for conveying steam from the upper part of the boiler to the upper part of the chamber, the object of which is to insure the presence of dry steam,
- and to guard the upper part of the chamber proceeding from the bottom of the elevatedsteaming-chamber B, into which water is first conducted, either from an elevated tank, (3,
' or from some other head of water, by the service-pipe I) provided with the stop-cock c, by
-which means the supply can be cut oft when the water has reached the required level, no-
- tice of which fact is given by a gage, 11 attached to the steaming-chamber on a slightlylower level than the mouth of the dischargepipe M. This gage may be a small tube or opening, through which the water will drip very slowly when on a level with it, owing to the agitation within, but which will allow a small jet of steam to escape, and thus give the alarm when the water-line is lowered.
In operation, water having been admitted to the lower portion of the steaming-chamber B, and thereby to the pipes and water-back, until the gage 1) indicates that the proper level is reached, the stop-cock cis closed. As the water becomes heated within the waterback a itascends and is discharged through the pipe a into the lower part of the steaming-chamber B, just above the water-level, being replaced by the cooler water from the steaming chamber, which, being heavier, flows through the lower pipe a into the lower part of the water-back. By this means a circulation of the water through the water-back a, pipes a a and the lower part of the steamin g-chamber B is constantly maintained. This tends to equalize the temperature of the whole body of water, and, by raising its temperature within the steaming-chamber B, prevents the too rapid condensation of the steam therein, and also prepares the water to be more readily converted into steam. The steam-pipe E proceeds from the upper part of the waterback a, upward through the fire-chamber, within which it is enlarged so as to subject the steam it contains to the highest attainable heat. Steam, being thus more or less superheated, is condueted from the enlargement 0 through the pipe E into the steaming-chamber at a point just below the perforated shelf or partition b ,'upon which the article to be treated rests.
By this arrangement of pipes gravity determines the exit of hot'water and wet steam from the water-back through the pipe 0., and prevents anything but the drier or lighter vapor from being discharged into the steaming chamber through the steam-pipe E.
It will be seen that the continuance of the described circulation depends largely upon the preservation of the water-level in the steaming-chamber at a point just below the mouth of the discharge-pipe a and that this water-level is preserved by means of the supply-cock c and the water-gage W, as arranged in relation to the circulating-pipes and the waber-back a.
A safety cover or valve, d, of suitable form, is adapted to the steaming-chamber to obviate the possibility of the steam attaining a dangerous pressure.
What I claim isv 1. The system of pipes arranged in the described relation, consisting of the water-circulatin g pipes a and a and the steam-pipe E,
in combination with a boiler, and with a steamin g-eharnberprovided with perforated shelves,
3. The boiler, the described system of pipes, the steaming-chamber, and the watergage, in
for the purpose of subjecting hats or other 010- combination with the service-pipe cock 0, subjects to a bath of dry stea-m.
2. The boiler 0r vmter-baek a, the described system of pipes, and the steaming-chamber, in
combination with the Water-gage b substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
stantially as set forth.
