To all whom vt may concern:

Be it known that @WILHELM VON PI'rTLER, in the German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Steam-Engines, of which the following Vis a My invention relates to steam-.enginesconnected with the s teamgenerator and operated steam; and my invention consists in the construction of a firechamber surrounded by a series of' pipes and closed by a plate, to which a heavyanetal (caststeel) chamber is attached, extending down- A. small quantity of water is at each stroke dt the engine injected into the surrounding pipes by means ofa suitable pump, the discharge or supply'valve of which is regulated by a suitable governor. The

thus-injected water is converted into steam in these heated pipes, and passes then into the heavymetal chamber, where it is converted into superheated steam before ente'ring'the steam-cylinder, which latter is placed into said In the accompanying drawings, Figure l rep ator with engine attached. Fig. itis a top view of the same,

and Fig. 3 is an outside elevation.

Similar letters represent similar parts.

The steam-generator consistsof asuitable base-plate or frame, E, supporting the grate, bars H, and a top plate, F, between which a number of upright tubes, 2, are arranged close to each other and-surrounding the grate-bars. One tube is connected with theadjoining tube, above and below the flanges oftheframe E and top plate, T, by suitable cap-pieces, J, forming a communication from one tube with the next so that the water from which the' steam is to e generated will pass down one tube and upward in the next tube, then downward again in the adjoining tube and upward again in the next, and so on. These cap-pieces Jform at the-Sametime slip-joints for the tubes, to alor Lnirsio, GEIRMAY.

The engine is vprovided with a suitable feedv pump, B, to supply the generator with water, und the discharge-pipen of said pump is prvided with a suitable regulating-valve, m, operated bya governor, R, attached to the engine.

The escape-steam passes through a suitable pipe, G, connected with the exhaust of the cylinder, into the atmosphere, or may be used t0 heat the Water t0 bcinjected into the generator.
