STOVEPIPE ATTACHM ENT. ANll) WATER-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,911, dated May 30, 1899. Application filed April 5,1898. $erial No. 676,545. (No model.)

cilitate the heating of a small quantity of water, and to regulate the temperature of water for various domestic purposes, and to clean the Water-heater and stovepipe without removing it from the stovepipe.

Myinvention consists in a water-heater and cleaning mechanism arranged and combined with a stovepipe, a steam-tight boiler,an open tank, a sink, and a pump, as hereinafter set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the water-heater and cleaning mechanism.

Fig. 2 shows the complete apparatus, partly in section.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, the reference-letter A is used to indicate a sink fixed in the top of a stationary case or frame A At one end of this frame is a fixed tank B, adapted to be filled with cold water by pouring it in through its open top. On top of this end of the sink-frame is a raised platform 13 and on this platform a boiler O. This boiler has a cook 0 located above the sink, so that hotwater may run therefrom into the sink. A screw-cap C fitted to the top of the boiler, may be removed'for filling.

D-is the outer cylindrical wall of the waterheater, made of sheet metal and contracted at its ends to be connected with a stovepipe of smaller diameter, as required, to inclosea double-walled cylinder D adapted to be re tained therein, to heat water therein, and to fit mechanism thereto for scraping and cleaning the outer and inner walls thereof Without detaching any part thereof or disconnecting the attachment from a stovepipe when fixed to a stove and chimney, as required for practical use.

D is a metal ring fitted inside of the doublewalled water-heating cylinder D in such a manner that it can be moved up and down to scrape soot from the outside surface of the inner wall.

D is a metal ring fitted in the annular space between the outside cylinder D and the double-walled cylinder D so that it can be moved up and down to scrape the inner surface of the one and the outer surface of the other. Flexible metal rods fare fixed to the rings D and D to connect them in such a manner that they can be moved up and down jointly by means of rods f, connected withthe outer ring D and extended upward through perforations in the cylinderD where its top portion is contracted.

g is a ring around the contracted top portion of the cylinder Aand fixed to the top ends of the rods f and f and provided with handles g in such a manner that the ring can be lifted up and down to reciprocate the metal rings D and D as required to scrape and clean the outer surfaces of the doublewalled cylinder andwater-heater and the inner surface of the outside cylinder that is adapted to inclose the Water-heater and cleaning mechanism and also to serve as a stovepipe-section.

K is'a support for a lever, fixed to theun der side of the platform B K is a lever ful crumed to said support. K is a rod connecting the lever with piston in the pump-cylinder J.

In practical use water is placed in the open tank 13. To heat only a small quantity quickly, the pump-handle K is operated to force the required amount into the heater D? in the stovepipe. The valve in the pump-cylinder holds the water up, and waste heat that envelops the heater in the stovepipe is stored in the water, and a circulation through the heater D and boiler O is established. When it is desired to heat a large quantity of water, the boiler may be nearly full and the waste heat from the stovepipe thus stored in the boiler to be utilized for warming the surrounding temperature by radiation from the boiler or the hot water Withdrawn from the boiler into the sink or portable receptacles for washing and other purposes in such quan tity and at such intervals of time as desired.

To clean the outside surface of the waterheater D and the inside surface of the stovepipe-section D, that incloses the Water-heater, I simply seize the handles g of the ring g, and thereby move the metal rings D and D up and down repeatedly to scrape off the soot gathered on the surfaces which they engage.

Having thus described myinvention, What I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States therefor, is-

1. A water-heater, Stovepipe section and cleaner, comprising a sheet-metal cylinder contracted at its end portions to join stovepipe-sections of smaller diameter and to produce annular shoulders, a double-Walled Water-heater composed of two concentric cylinders united at their ends, and having inflow and outflow pipes, a metal ring fitted in the apparatus,- the cylinder D having a contracted top end and annular shoulder, the doublewalled water-heater D having inflow and outflow pipes, the metal rings D and D, the doubled rods f fixed to the rings, the rods f fixed to the largest ring and extended through openings in the annular shoulder at the top of the cylinder, and a ring 9 having handles g, in combination with a stovepipe and a Water-reservoir as and for the purposes stated.

THEODORE WVEINHART.
