- 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.
Our invention relates to steam and water boilers, and provides means for allowing. the boiler to be reversed, thereby giving to the latter a longer life.
By the peculiar construction of the furnace and of the boiler a great gain is experienced not only in the first cost but in the continued use. To this end we construct our boiler so as to allow of its being reversedthat .is to say, when by prolonged use the head nearest the fire becomes worn, the boiler is turned over and the head that was farthest away is presented to theaction of the fire.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the whole invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the boiler; Fig. 3, a front view of furnace and boiler-shell; Fig. 4, the outside view of boiler proper; Fig. 5, the base-plate on which rests the boiler. Fig. 6 is the top plate placed over the boiler.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures.
A represents the fire-box with the gratebars 0. B is the base'plate. D D represent the fire-flues. tion formed on each head of the boiler proper; F, the outer shell of boiler; G, the pipe-connections; H, the top pl ate;.l, the casing; J, the draft-flue; K, the fire-bricks; M, the fuelchute; O, the fireand ash doors.
The salient point in my invention is the construction of the boiler and firebox permitting the reversing of the former. The form of the fire-box'A is circular, and it is so constructed as to be adapted to securely sustain the base- 'plate 13, which in turn receives the boiler as it is set upon it, the annular projection (I don d d represent an annular proj ec- (No model.)
the head of the boiler preventing displacement. The outer casing, I, is fitted around the boiler and on the base-plate, the top plate, M, put over both, and the pipe-connections made up.
It is ofimportance to note the position of the doors at the level of the grate-bars and of the floor of the ash-hole, this construction affording great convenience and speed in the removal of clinkers and ashes.
The heat rises up through the flues D D, and, collecting in H, travels down the fl'ues E to the base-plate, up through the heat-space between shell and outer casing, and out through the draft-flue J. The tube M allows of the fire being fed from the top. When the boiler has been used for a certain time in this position,
it will be readily seen that it can be reversed, so that the head that was next to the fire is now found to be uppermost, and the one that had not been acted upon by the fire is in a bet- 'ter condition than the other, and therefore will practically double the life of the boiler. I
It will be noted that both heads of the boiler are meant to-be similar in construction, so as to present no difficulty in reversing it, and the process of doing so is simplicity itself, only requiring that the top plate, H, be removed and the pipes be disconnected, the casing I taken off, the boiler-reversed, and the casing and-col- We are aware that prior-to our invention a boiler capable of being removed from the outer casing has been constructed, and also afurnace having doors oua level with the floor of the ash-pit, and we do not claim these, broadly; but the construction of our boiler and the different parts of the supporting-furnace are,
we believe, novel. a
Havingnow described our said invention,
what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of a reversible tubular each head, of a boiler-furnace provided with door-openings formed on a level with the gratebars and with the ash-floor, a base-plate constructed to form a communicating channel between the lateral fire-flues and surrounding air-space, a removable top plate, and a fuelchute, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
