HOT-WATER URN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,736, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed March 2, 1885 (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD B. MANNING, of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Hot Water Urns; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawing, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, and representsa vertical section of the urn complete.

This invention relates to an improvement in hot-water urns, such as are employed in bars and other places where it is desirable to retain a supply of hot water, and at the same time warm the tumblers which are to be used for hot drinks. These urns have been constructed in various ways, whereby the water may be heated, and at the same time the tumblers warmed; but in the more general construction the heating of the tumbler-gallery has been produced by the steam or heat arising from the water in the urn.

The object of my invention is the construction of the urn so that the heat may be applied directly to warming the tumbler-gallery at the same time the water is being heated in the tank.

To this end my invention consists, principally, in a water-tank having a jacket around it to form a double wall-space around the urn, communicating from the heat below, the said space opening above the urn directly to the tumbler-gallery, the urn itself being closed by a cover independent of the gallery, as more fully hereinafter described.

A represents the water-tank, which is supported from a base, B, in the usual manner of supporting water-urns, and from which a fancet, O, providesa means for drawingthe water.

Around the tank is a close jacket, D, extending from the base upward above the top of the tank. The space a between the jacket and the tank opens into the heating-chamber E below the tank. In this heating-chamber the usual heating apparatus is appliedmay be a lamp or gas-burner. The jacket extends above the top of the tank, the top of the tank itself being closed by a cover, F. Above the tank the top of the jacket is closed by a floor, G, forming the gallery upon which tumblers may rest. The space between the jacket and the tank continues upward and forms a heating-chamber, b, beneath the gallery-floor G.

In the central top of the cover is an opening, H, onto which a second gallery, I, may be set. This gallery is constructed with a tubular downward projection, L, corresponding to the tubular projection H,from the cover of the tank, and so that the gallery may be set upon the cover of the tank.

and the gallery, is a jacket, M, extending up from the gallery-floor G, and so as to leave a space, d, around the opening from the tank to the upper gallery, this space d communicating with the chamber 1) below the gallery-floor G. From this space (I openings 6 are formed, through which the air heated or rising through the space between the jacket and tank may escape to maintain a proper circulation for the purpose of heating the upper gallery.

In the center of the upper gallery is an opening, N, through which the tank may be filled. This opening is capped by a funnelshaped tip, P, having a cover, B, so that, removing the cover B, water may be readily poured through the tip P, as into a funnel, thence to fall into a tank below.

By this construction the heat from the flame, or whatever it maybe, below the tank is conveyed through the space between the jacket and the tank to the chamber 12 below the gallery G, and so that the gallery is heated directly from the same source that heats the Water in the tank, so that if only heat sufficient be maintained to produce a moderate degree of warmth in the water the gallery G will be also heated, whereas, did the gallery depend upon the heat arising from the water in the tank when at such low temperature there would be no heat for the gallery, or so little as not to be of material effect upon the gallery to warm the tumblers set thereon.

The second gallery is not essential to the invention, yet desirable as an ornament. The second gallery, I, derives its heat directly from the tank-a common arrangement in urns of this character.

I claim 1. The combination of the water-tank A,

supported upon a base and provided with a Around the connection, between the tank cover, F, the jacket D, surrounding said tank, so as to leave an air-space, a, between the tank and jacket, the said jacket extending above the cover of the urn, its upper end closed by a floor, G, to form a tumbler-gallery, and a heating-chamber, b, below the said gallery, with an escape-passage, ('1, above said gallery, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the tank A, supported upon a base and provided with a cover, F, the jacket D, surrounding said tank and so as to form an air-space, a, between the tank and jacket, the said jacket extending above the cover of the urn, its upper end closed by EDWARD B. MANNING.
