SPECEFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,200, dated April 20, 1886.
Application filed August 5, 1885. Serial No. 173,594.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM DONEGAN, a citizenof the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois. have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin BoilerAttachments,of which the following is a specification, to wit:
This invention relates to a device for cleaning boilers; and it consists in certain peculiarities ofthe construction and arrangement of the same, substantially as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, whereby the water used in washing out the boileris drained ott without injury to the setting or surroundings.
in order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invent-ion appcrtains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the front of a steam-boiler with my device in use, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.
a represents the front of a boiler-furnace, and a the boiler incloscd therein, both ofwhich are of the usual or any desired form. These boilers are always made with a hand-hole in the top for the insertion of a hose or similar means of cleaning the dirt and sediment out, and in the end of the boiler-shell, near its bottom, is an opening, a, through which this dirt is removed. In boilers of this kind it is usual to connect the front end of the boiler a with the front of the setting by a plate, b, which is known as an extension plate, and forms the bottom of the smoke-chamber. As the water from the boiler lies on this plate, it gradually works through ontothe fire-brick, generally set below it, and soon loosens them, and causes cracking and injury thereto. In addition to this, all the water which does escape lies on the floor of the furnace-room, and makes it damp and unhealthy. I remedy this as follows:
0 represents a broad trough-like chute having its inner end formed with a flange, c, and is secured to the boiler-head by a clamp plate or bar, 0, which clasps the flange of the chute and the adjacent edge of the opening a", and is secured by a set-screw, 0 which holds the flanged chute tightly against the boiler-head,
(No model.)
and to form a water-tight joint a packing of waste, 0, or similar material is placed be tween the boiler-head and the flange of the chute, which, when the device is clamped tightly to place, effectually prevents leakage at this joint. This chute extends through the front plate, a, and carries off all water, preventing any from getting onto the plate b, as will be seen in the drawings. To retain this water and prevent it from flooding the floor of the room, I suspend from the end of the chute c a box orreceptacle, d, which receives the water as it flows off, and prevents its injury to the fioor. This receptacle may, ifdesired, be of sufiicient size to receive and retain all the water used in washing, and afterward removed and emptied; but as this would makeit quite large and heavy to handle I prefer to construct it only large enough to receive and prevent the scattering of the water as it flows out of the chute, and having a small opening, d, in its bottom, flanged downward, as at Fig. 2, and under this I suspend a trough, e,'which is turned in any direction about the flanged opening, and is supported by a yoke, e, hooked over the edge of the box. This yoke may he slid along and the trough turned in any desired direction to conduct the ilow of water to the sewer, or any other desired point, and keep the floor of the room dry.
In operation it will be seen that the water is poured into the boiler as usual, and allowed to escape through the opening a, whence it is conducted, as desired, to a receptacle or other point.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with a steam-boiler, of a chute having its inner end flanged and a clamp for securing said chute to the escape or drain opening of the boiler, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, with a steam-boiler, of a chute for directing oft the waste water in cleaning, and a receptacle placed under the end of said chute, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The combination, with a steam-boiler, of a chute detachably secured to its escape-opening, a box or receptacle placed under the end I ed and arranged to operate substantially as of said chute, and an adjustable trough for and for thepurpose set forth. [0 conducting the wuterofl' to a convenient point, In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in substantially as and for thepnrpose set forth. 1 presence of two witnesses.
4. The combination, with the flanged chute WILLIAM DONEGAN. c and its securing clamp c", of the box d, ha-ving a. flanged opening, (1, and the trough eand its adjustable snpportingyoke 6,2111 constrnctl Witnesses:
