T o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAMES 1V. PARKER and FRANK L. HURTT, citizens of the United States, residing at Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Raising Temperature of l/Vater; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention7 which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has reference to a certain new and useful apparatus for gradually raising the temperature of water; and has for its object a device from which water may be drawn for internal or external use, Where the water is gradually raised in temperature from luke warm to a point approximating a boiling point. The arrangement being such that the rise in temperature is so gradual a person will be enabled to stand the increase in the heat without shocking the system.

The invention has for its further object details of construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter' more particularly pointed out in the specification, claimed in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view in section of the casing showing the mechanism in side elevation. Fig. 1a is a front elevation of our improvements, with the outlet pipe broken away just above the valve; Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the line X-X of Fig. 1a; Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the mechanism arranged within the upper compartment of the receptacle, which controls the pointer of the register, and Fig. 4 is a detail in elevation, partly in section of the pipe extending through the lower compartment of the receptacle; a valve thereon; a flexible tube attached to the same and the arrangement of the mechanism for operating such valve and the needle point on the pipe. p f

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures.

1 denotes a cylindrical casing or receptacle divided by the partition 2 forming the

compartments

3 and 4. The lower end of the casing is closed by a lixed conical shaped bottom 5, while the upper end of the casing is adapted to be closed by the lid or covering 6, provided with an are shaped slot or cut-out portion 7, for a purpose to be described.

As a means of communicating with the compartment 4, a pipe or tube 3 is provided which extends down through the compartment 3 and partition 2, and extends up through the lid 6 which is provided with an opening (not shown) for this purpose. There is further provided a short tube or pipe 9 attached to the lid 6, which communicates with the compartment 3 when the lid is in the position seen in Fig. 1. Through the pipe 8 water is poured which is intended for the compartment 4; and through the pipe 9 water is poured which is intended for the compartment 3.

10 denotes a tubular pipe which is carried through the compartment 4, extending up a short distance through the partition 2 into the compartment 3 and out through the bottom 5, beneath which the pipe 10 is provided with a valve 11, see Fig. 4; and to the lower end of the pipe 10 beneath the valve is adapted to be attached a flexible hose or pipe 12 of any suitable type and for various purposes. This pipe 10 is divided at a suitable point by means of a partition 13, and in the wall of the pipe at suitable point-s above and below the partition 13 is provided the openings or perforations 14 and 15. The opening 14 is adapted to be closed by a needle-point spring valve 16 which is suitably connected to the pipe 10 as shown. The valve is adapted to open or close the perforation 14 simultaneously with the opening or closing of the valve 11. This is accomplished in the following manner: 17 denotes a hollow stem extending up in the compartment 4 from the bottom 5, and through the same and the bottom 5 is reciprocally carried a rod or stem 18, to the lo-wer end of which is pivotally attached a crank 19, which in turn is attached or connected to the valve 11 as shown in Fig. 4. The upper end of the rod 18 is bent inwardly toward the pipe 10 and down as at 2O parallel with the pipe 10 and the stem 17, passing through a loop or eye 21 serving as a guide for the same, and the lower end of such portion 20 is looped about the pipe 10 as at 22 and also the needle-valve 16. Thus it will be seen, upon raising the rod or stem 18, the crank 1-8 will cause the valve 11 to be closed, and in rising, will also raise the loop 21 forcing the needle-point of the valve 16 into the opening 14 and close the same. In the position in which the parts are now shown, the valve 11 as well as the needlevalve 16 are shown open.

To the outside wall of the receptacle is supported a thermometer 23, the lower end of which is carried within a chambered receptacle 24 attached to the casing of the receptacle and communicating with the compartment 4. By means of this thermometer the temperature of the water poured into the compartment may be easily ascertained, for, as the water rises in the compartment 4, it will enter the receptacle 24, in which the bulb of the thermometer is carried and cause the thermometer to register on the indicator 25 the degree of heat of the water in compartment 4.

On the outside of the casing of the receptacle 1, at the top thereof, beneath the opening 7 in the cap 6, is attached a register 26 provided with numerals, preferably ranging from 1 to 10, the same corresponding tothe numerals of the thermometer which also range from 10 to 1. Vith this register or scale as it might be termed, coacts a pointer 27, which is carried up and through the opening 7 of the cap 6 and after being coiled at 28 about the upper end of a supporting rod 29, its opposite end is looped loosely about the upper end of a rod 30; the rod 30 extending down in proximity to the partition 2, is carried oif approximately at right angles, and its end coiled at 31 about an offset 32 formed in a portion of the supporting rod 29 about intermediate the horizontal portions of said rod 29. Another portion of said rod 29 is also bent to form an o-set 33 around which is coiled at 34 the end of a rod 35. This rod 35 extends forwardly between laterally carried extensions of the supporting rod 29 and the rod 30, and on its end is secured a bulb or float 36, which, when the receptacle or the compartment 3 thereof is empty, rests on the partition 2; but when water is poured into the compartment 3 through the tube or pipe 9, the float will rise, raising the rod 30 which will swing on the off-set 32, and in so doing oscillate the pointer 27 which swings on its coiled portion 28, through the connection of the looped portion of the rear end thereof about the rod 30. The water level falling in compartment 3 will allow the bulb or float 36 to drop, returning the parts to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3. To steady the movement of the pointer 27, there engages the rear end thereof a spring linger 37, secured to the supporting rod 29 as shown. The upper portion of the rod 29 may as shown, be bent rearwardly and downwardly and be secured to the inner wall of the compartment 3, at 38; and

portions

32a and 32b of the said rod 29, intermediate its end 33 and the off-set 32, and intermediate the offset 32 and vertical portion of the said rod may be soldered or otherwise secured to the top of the partition 2, for the purpose of securely holding or retaining the parts in their respective positions after adjustment in the said receptacle.

The receptacle may be suspended from a wall or other suitable place by means of the ear 39 secured to the wall of the casing, as shown in Fig. 2. 40 denotes a pet-cock or faucet secured in the wall of the casing and communicating with the compartment 3 to adapt the removal of water from this compartment when desired or for draining the same.

In operation, the

valves

11 and 16 are rst closed. Luke warm water is then poured into the compartment 4 through the pipe 8 and after a short interval, during which time the thermometer 23 will indicate the temperature of the water in said compartment, boiling water is poured into the compartment 3 through the pipe 9, until the pointer 27 coincides with a numeral on the register 26, corresponding to the numeral on the thermometer which indicates the temperature of the water in compartment 4; the movement of the pointer 27 being regulated by the iioat 36 which rises as the boiling water is poured into the compartment 3. For example, should the thermometer 23l register say 8O, the amount of boiling water which is poured into the compartment 3, will be governed by the movement of the pointer 27, and only sutlicient boiling water will be poured into the compartment 3 as will be necessary to cause the pointer 27 to move to a point coincident with the numeral 8 on the register. Should it happen that the register 26 would indicate more than the thermometer 23 by reason of more water being poured into the compartment 3 than was necessary, the water may be drawn from the compartment 3 through the faucet 40, until the pointer 27 reads opposite to the number corresponding to the number on the thermometer 23, indicating the temperature of the water.

The thermometer 23 will indicate the temperature of the luke warm water and the register 26 together with the pointer 27 merely indicates the quantity of water which is poured into the compartment 3. It being our aim to only pour sufficient water into the compartment 3 as will be necessary to mix with the luke warm water, so that as the water from both of said compartments is drawn from the apparatus, the mixing of the boiling water with the lulre warm water will gradually raise the temperature of said luke warm water until when all of the water is finally drawn from the apparatus, it will have reached a desired temperature; in operation, we prefer that this temperature, when the water is finally drawn from the apparatus, to reach about 120o and we have so arranged the apparatus and adjusted the register 23 and the pointer cooperating therewith, with respect to the thermometer, that whatever degree is registered on the thermometer, it will be only necessary to supply the compartment 3 with suflicient boiling water to cause the pointer 27 to move to a point opposite a numeral on the register 26 corresponding to the numeral representing the temperature of the water in compartment 4, when, as the same is then gradually drawn simultaneously from the apparatus, the temperature of the luke warm water in the compartment 4, by being intermixed with the boiling water, will be gradually raised to the desired temperature of about 1200.

After filling the compartments as directed, the rod 18 may be drawn downward, and for convenience in doing this we have provided the string 41 attached to the lower end of said rod. This opens the

valves

11 and 16, when the boiling water will pass down through the pipe 10 and out through the opening 14 into the compartment 4, commingling with and gradually raising the temperature of the water in compartment 4 as it passes into pipe 10 through the opening 15 and out through the tube 12 as is apparent.

The pipe 1() extends up above the partition 2, so that, as the water lowers in the compartment 3, there will always remain a certain amount of water around the pipe 10 to retain the heat therein during the drawing off of the water in compartment 4. The bottom 5 is conical shape, that the water in compartment 4 will find easy egress into the pipe 10.
