invention Will'now be described in the fol- "lowing specification, taken in connection wrLL'Iai/i E. vroimow, or

EAST, CLEVELAND; 01:104.

WATER-HEATE Specincation of To all whom it may con'cernc' Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. Morrow, a citizen'ot' the United States, residing at East Cleveland. in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain.

new and useful Improvements in .Vziter- Heaters, of which the following is cation.

The invention relates generally to liquid heaters and specifically to an improvementin a portable and detachable one-piece water heater adapted for use with the burner or heating surface of any stoveof ordinary construct-ion using as fuel any of the usual heating mediums.

The main object of the invention is the production of a heater such as above described which, while performing its function of furnishing hot water, is adapted to permit the use of the'same burner or heated surface for the cooking of food, the heater-in such instance serving as a supportfor the food container, such adaptability resulting in the saving of so much of the fuel as would otherwise be used to cook the food separately.

Another object of the invention is to produce a heater which can be casted 01' molded in a single piece of material, thereby lessening the cost of manufacture, reducing. the liability of displacement or disarrangement of separate parts and injury to theheater, and providing a device easily cleaned and caredv for.

\Vith these and other objects in view,the

a specifiwith the accompanying drawings, and then more particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective a of my improved heater. Fig. 2 is a central horizontal section, and Fig. 3 is a central vertical section.

Referring now to the drawings, wherein is embodied the preferred details of my invention and wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, 1 denotes the body of the. burner comprising a tubular member, of equal bore throughout its length and of approximately circular form, from the inner circumference of which extend cross tubes land 3, formedintegral with the body member 1 and similarly bored throughout their lengths, the bores of said Letters Patent; Patented-l 00.13;. 5, 1 909.-

points and at their-ends opening; into the bore of tlie-bodyrmember, thus providing a system of int'ercommu'nicating ;channels for the circulation, under the influence ofheat, of the'water or other liquid to bedieated. A31: ingress tube,. formed: integralwith: body 1 and through whiclr the wateror other liquid to be heated is designed to enter the circus lating system. of the'heater, is denoted by 4:: and comprises a: hollow. member (lisp osed. in a slightly downward. direction: and adapted for connection by any-wellalinown means, as. a. conduit pipeor the like, to the source of water supply, while- 5 indicates the exit" tube, in construction and; relative position. similar to tubel and is adaptedi to lead theheated Water to. tlierreceptacledesired' to be filled therewith. 6 denotes ae core tube,also: formed integral. with body member 1 and generally. similar in: for1n1to tubes4i and 5, said latter. tubes. being provided with in:-

terior screw threadsfor-convenientconnectube having. the: function, ofproviding; means for removing-thecore: employed! in casting the heater. Tubes 4-,. 5', and 6' areso formed ;and positioned in relation' ito-the, body member 1' that their lowest-- point 9 forms a..bearingfor the support oft lie heaterwhen it is in operative position our a; stove, as will be obvious.

The operation willbereadily'underste d from the foregoing; to be as follows; t 1e. water or other liquid tube-heated. entering tube at from the source' o'f supply and becoming heated,. under influence of the ignited. fuel, will circulate through the tubes to the point ofexit atitubefi', its temperature being raised tothe desired; point in its course of movement, a valve of. any ordinary-construction (not shown.) being-positioned at a con venient point in theexittubeor; its pipe con nection topermit: of regulationlofi the circulating rate of. flow, i'L-desired, and" thence from tube 5 to'the tank-designed to hold the heated-water;

Aswill beunderstoodgrthe open. work construction of my. improved. heater permits practicallyfree; passage offthe'heat, from, ltSw source of supply. to a; cooking; vessel placed. above it should such: supplementary cook-mg;- or heating, be desired; the heater" acting; in

tubes of course crossing at their central this event as a support fon sueh. uessel', while at the same time receiving the full caloric energy from said supply of heat, the large heating surface presented by the construcprovision of any particular kind of fuel and which Will simultaneously furnish heated water and permit uninterrupted passage of heat to'a superimposed cooking vessel. It IS also obvious that the device can be easily cleaned, if desired, by the passage therethrougli, under the influence of heat, of any cleanslng liquid. fi

Having thus described my nvention, What I claim as new a nd desire to secure byLettel-s Patent, 1s:.

A liquid heater comprising an annular,

tubular body member, a plurality of integral, tubular members disposed Within the circumference of the body member, and three nipples equally spaced circumferential-11y of the body membeu and projecting radially therefrom, one ofs'aid nipples serving as inlet' and another odis aid nipples servrrrg' as an outlet, all of said nipples beingh'em: into a plane below the said body member vhereby to provide three points of support for the body and space the latter from a heating flame when in operative position.

In testimony whereof, I hereto atfix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.
