WILLEY G. GARRARD, OF SNYDER, TEXAS.
STOVEPIPE WATER-HEATER.Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept.110,1912.
.Application filed August 10, 1911. Serial No. 643,367.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Wmun G. GARRARD,
a citizen of the United States, residing at
Snyder, in the county of Scurry and State
5 of Texas, have invented a new and useful
Stovepipe Water-Heater; and I do hereby
declare the following to be a full, clear, and
exact description of the invention, such as
will enable others skilled in the art to which
10 it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to that class of
water heaters commonly called "stovepipe "
water heaters.
The invention further pertains to a new
15 and useful water heater of this nature, com-
prising but a few parts, namely, an inner
and outer casing, including a water space
between them, an inlet and an outlet, and an
extension, adapted to fit the stovepipe as
20 shown in the drawings.
An object of the invention is to arrange
the waster supply tank at a height consider-
ably greater than the height of the heater,
so that the water pressure will be great
25 enough to supply the water to the necessary
parts of a dwelling.V
The invention comprises further features
and combination of, parts, as hereinafter set
forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.
so In the drawings:-Figure 1 is a -view in
elevation, showing the improved heater as
applied to a stove or rarge, the-same being
constructed in accordance with the inven-
tion. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view
85 through the heater. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail
views.
Referring more particularly to the draw-
ings 1 designates the inner casing of the
heater, which is of a diameter similar to that
40 of the usual stovepipe. This inner casing.
is adapted to fit the usual collar 2 of the
stove or range. Surrounding the inner
casing- and spaced apart therefrom is an
outer casing 4, which is provided at the top
45 and bottom thereof with annular flanges 5
and. 6. These flanges terminate to form
flanged annular openings to receive the in-
ner casing 1, and are connected to the inner*
casing by slip joints 7 and 8, so that the
50 outer casing may be readily connected to
the inner casing, there being the necessary
soldering material 7' applied to these joints,
thus insuring the heater against leakage.
The flanged opening at the bottom of theouter casing is of larger diameter than the 55
upper flanged opening, thereby rendering it
possible to fit and connect the outer casing
over and to the inner casing. The inner
casing projects slightly beyond the upper
flange, as shown at 8a, for the purpose of 60
receiving the usual stovepipe.
The water to be heated enters the water
space between the inner and outer casings,
by way of the inlet9, which connects with .
the supply pipe 10 of supply tank 11, which 65
supply tank may be arranged at any desir-
able height. However, a supply tank should
be arranged at such a height, that the water
pressure will be great enough, so as to sup-
ply the water to-the desired location. The 70
outlet pipe 12 is arranged at the.top portion
of the outer casing, whereby the hot water
on top may be drawn off, without the lower
strata of cold water being utilized. Branch-
ing from the outlet pipe are two pipes 13 and 75
14, the pipe 13 is adapted to extend to vari-
ous portions through a dwelling, while the
pipe 14 is provided. with a valve, and is
adapted to empty adjacent the range or
stove or over the sink. 80
From the foregoing. it will be observed
thatthere has been produced a novel, simple
and efficient stovepipe water heater, and one
which has been found to be practicable, and
easily and quickly applied. 85
The invention having been set forth, what
is claimed as new and useful is:-
In combination, an inner and an outer cas-
ing having an annular water space therebe-
tween, the inner casing being folded upon 90
itself at its upper and lower ends to form
grooves, while the other casing is provided
with top and- bottom inturned annular
flanges terminating in annular flanged open-
ings, the lower one of which being of larger 95
diameter than the upper one to. readily re-
ceive the inner casing the flanges of the
openings being receive by the grooves thus
affording slip 'joints between the casings,
and means for adhering the joints together 100
securely.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
name to this specification in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
