UNITED STATES LAWRENCE DOE-RR, OF SILVERTON, OREGON.

COMBINED BOILER STAND AND FITTING. I

Application filed September 18, 1924. Serial No. 738,498.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LAWRENCE Donna, a citizen of the United States, residing at Silverton, in the county of Marion, State of Oregon, have invented new and useful Combined Boiler Stands and Fittings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to boiler stands and fittings, and has for its object to provide a boiler stand comprising a vertically disposed hollow member, on the upper end of which is detach-ably connected an upwardly extending member divided into compartments by a partition, one of which compartments is in communication with the chamber of the vertically disposed hollow member and into which chamber settlement will drop. Also to provide means adjacent the lower end of the vertically disposed hollow member whereby sediment collected therein may be easily removed.

A further object is to provide the upper end of the partition forming the compartments with a curved portion for deflecting cold water as it enters the boiler, towards one side of the boiler, also to dispose the discharge port into the 'boiler for the cold water above the bottom of the boiler and above the discharge port through which water passes from the boiler.

A further object is to form the stand from a base having a chamber therein, a vertically disposed hollow pipe on the upper end of which is detachably connected a discharge nozzle having spaced compartments with which intake and discharge pipes are connected.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the stand and a portion of the boiler.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the chambered member of the stand.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a vertically disposed boiler and 2 the hot water pipe which leads therefrom to any suitable source throughout the building. The boiler 1 is supported on a stand 3, which stand comprises a base t, having a chamber 5 therein, access to which may be had by removing the plug 6, and in which chamber sediment collects as hereinafter set forth. Threaded at 7 into the upper end of the base 4 is a vertically disposed pipe 8, on the upper end of which is threaded a casing 9. The casing 9 is divided into an intake chamber 10 and a discharge chamber 11, and which chambers are formed by means of a vertically disposed partition 12, which partition also forms a bottom for the chamber 10, but at the same time leaves the lower end of the discharge chamber 11 open, thereby allowing sediment to pass down wardly through the pipe 8 and into. the chamber 5 of the base, fromwhich it may be easily removed in any'suitable manner.

lVater within the boiler 1 circulatsfronr a conventional form of range'through the pipe'13 into the boiler 1 and thence through the chamber 11 and pipe 14, which leads to the range," and which pipe 1a is provided with a conventional form of faucet 15, whereby the water may be drained from the boiler when desired, for instance for preventing freezing. As the water circulates as above set forth, sediment will work to the chamber 5 of the base, and additional cold water may be supplied to the recirculation water by means of the supply pipe 16, which discharges into the supply chamber 10. ater from the supply chamber 10 passes upwardly and is discharged into the boiler 1 at 17 at a point above the upper end 18 of the chamber 11, and is partially deflected bythe curved flange 19, which overlies the upper end of the supply chamber 10. It will be seen that a portion of the cold water supplied by the pipe 16 will mingle with the recirculating water and will be heated by the coil in the range in the usual manner, and the other water which is deflected by the flange 19 will mingle with the water in the boiler and will be heated thereby and eventually circulated and recirculated. The pipe 16 is provided with a conventional form of valve 20 which may be utilized for regulating the amount of water supplied to the boiler, or for cutting off the supply of water entirely. It will also be noted that by closing the valve 20 and opening the drain faucet 15, the boiler can be entirely drained and the water within the stand 3 below the pipes 14: and 16 may be drained from the base 4 at 6, therefore danger of damage to the device incident to freezing may be obviated, and repair to the parts easily made. It is to be understood that any kind of drain means may be utilized in connection with the chamber 5 of the base 4, and applicant does not limit himself to any particular device. The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. The combination with a boiler, of a stand therefor, said stand comprising a base having a chamber therein, means whereby access may be had to said chamber, a vertically disposed chambered member carried by said base and having its chamber in communication with the chamber of the base, a casingdetachably connected to the upper end of the chambered member, a partition in said casing, thereby forming a vertically disposed intake chamber having its bottom closed and a vertically disposed discharge chamber having its lower end open and in communication with the chamber of the ver- 1 tically disposed chambered member, the up- ;per end of said casing being connected to the boiler and having the upper ends of the chambers thereof in communication with the chamber of the boiler, the supply chamber being terminated in the boiler above the upper end of the discharge chamber.

2. A device of the character described comprising a chambered base, a vertically disposed chambered member, the upper end of said chambered member being attached to a boiler and having an intake and discharge being chamber therein, said chambers formed by a vertically disposed partition, supply and discharge pipes connected to the chambered member and in communication with the chambers formed by the partition,

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
