NTTED STATES PATENT EErcE@ ALEXANDER BERGIIOLD, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
FIREPLACE WATER-HEATER,
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 500,554, dated July 4, 1893.
Application filed March 1'7, 1893. Serial No. 466,450. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER BERGHOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson, State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fireplace Water-Heaters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyng drawings.
My invention relates to devices for preventing the loss of a great portion of the caloric obtained from a re made in a fire place, or in a grate placed therein; and the objects of my improvement are to provide a simple and inexpensive apparatus of this nature that is portable and adapted to be vertically and laterally adj usted, thevertical adjustment being made relatively to the intensity of the fire in the fire place, so as to heat to a suitable temperature water placed in said apparatus, the reservoirs inclosing the water thus heated being well adapted to increase the temperature of a room, and the water be used for any desired purpose. I attain these objects by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1, is a front view of a water heating apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. '2, is a vertical section of a fire place provided with said water heating apparatus. Fig. 3, is a vertical central sec tion of the upper portion of one of the water reservoirs and its top closing cap.
In said drawings A, A, represent two water reservoirs of preferably cylindrical form, adjustably mounted upon a base B that is provided with legs b, said base and legs constituting stands that may be of any suitable ornamented metal. To retain the reservoirs vertically at any desirable height above the base B, there is attached to the center of the lower cap of each reservoir a screw c that ,is made to pass loosely through a perforation in the center of the base B and in engagement with a nut d resting upon said base. The
reservoirs are connected together at points adjacent to their lower ends by means of pipes ethat are suitablybent or provided with elbows, to form with the pipes e a lateral bend or crank portion e2, that is of suitable size to lie nearly against the sides and back wall of a iire place F. A short distance above the pipes e, the reservoirs are connected together by pipes g that have also their inner portions g2 bent to substantially lie against the sides 55 and back Wall of afire place. To provide a good and noiseless circulation through the pipes e and g they are united together at their highest points by means of avertical pipe e3,
so that when wood, coal or other combustible 6c is burning in the ire place F, or on a grate F2, placed therein, the heated products of combustion, and the radiation from the lire will heat the pipes e2 c3 and g2 and the Water therein; as it will be understood that water is first placed in the reservoirsAto a suitable height, preferably above the center thereof. The water will ascend from the pipes e e2 e3 to the pipes g and thence back into the reservoirs; and from the lower portion of the 7o latter it flows again through the pipes e toward the heated portions e2 e3.
Water is introduced into the apparatus through the top of either one of the reservoirs,
said top being provided with a short pipe h of smaller diameter, into which a funnel can be placed to facilitate the pouring of water into the reservoirs. Upon the top of said pipe ha bell-shaped cover K is placed. Awasherfc of rubber or other suitable material is pref- 8o erably used to form a close stopper. The weight of the cover K may be such as to require three or four pounds pressure of steam to lift it from its seat. The cap of one of the reservoirs may also be provided with a steam 8 5 escape pipe h2 as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3 to permit any excess of pressure or steam to be let out and directed,for example, into the chimney flue. But the water in the reservoirs is generally at a temperature of 9o about 175o to 200 by regulating the height of the pipes e2 g2 above the lire, by elevating or lowering the reservoirs upon their supporting nuts d. The heating capacity of the apparatus can be increased by making the pipes e2 of larger size or providing the pipes g2 with a small Water back as shown dotted at g3.
- One of the reservoirs maybe provided with a glass water-indicator m and with cocks n in their sides.
Having now fully described my invention, I claim- IOS 1. A portable water heater for fire places consisting of two vertical Water reservoirs, pipes uniting said reservoirs, said pipes being bent laterally into said fire place, screws under said reservoirs, with nuts and stands for said screws substantially as described.
2. In a portable water heater for fire places, the combination of two vertical water reservoirs having a feeding pipe on top thereof,
ro and a bell-shaped cover for said pipe, pipes uniting said reservoirs, and screws supporting said reservoirs, with nuts and stands for said screws substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
' ALEXANDER BERGHOLD.
