SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 707,657, dated August 26, 1902.
Application filed March 3, 1902. Serial No. 96,499. (No model.)
To n/ZZ zotom, zit may concern.-
Beit known that LCORNELIUS VANDERBILT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city and State of Newv York, have invented certain new and useful- Improvementsin Locomotive-Boilers,o f which the following is a specilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, form ing a part hereof.
This invention relates particularly to locomotive or other boilers which are adapted for the use of oil as fuel and in which, there,- fore, two or more furnaces or furnace-fines communicate with a common combustionchamber, from which the tubes extend forward, as usual.
The invention is particularly concerned with the furnaces and combustion-chamber, and has for its object to providea structure which shall be sufficiently strong to resist the pressure within the boiler without the use of stay-bolts.
The invention will be fully described here-' inafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal central section of enough of a boiler to illustrate the application of the present improvement thereto. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2'2 of Fig. l looking toward the rear.
The boiler-shell a may be of any suitable i form, that represented in the drawings being well adapted for the particular use for which the boiler is intended. To the rear end of the shell the rear head b is secured in any suitable manner and itself receives and supports the rear ends of the cylindrical corrugated furnaces or furnace-fines c, d, and e. Forward of the furnaces or furnace-fines is located the cylindrical combustion-chamber f, which is made up of a cylindrical corrugated shell g, a flat circular rear head 71 which receives and supports the forward ends of the furnaces or furnace-lines c, d, and c, and the tube-sheet t', in which the rear ends of the tubes 7c are secured as usual. The cylin' drical combustionchamber is supported upon the bottom of the boiler-shell a, as by a'filling-piece Z, secured between the shell g of the combustion-chamber and the boiler-shell a, around registering openingsmandn, formed in the shell a and in the shell g, respectively. As the combustion-chamberjis cylindrical and corrugated, it is sufficiently strong to withstand the pressure in the boiler without the use of stay-bolts, which are commonly employed between the fire-box and the boilershell and are essential when the fire-box or combustion chamber is made in the form hitherto usual. Furthermore,the cylindrical form of the combustion-chamber permits the arrangement of the furnaces or furnace-lines shown in the drawings, two being below the third, which is centrally disposed, all of the lines being located within the circumference of therear head of the combustion-chamber. This arrangement is obviously advantageous in the generation of steam. The cylindrical form of the combustion-chamber also permits the f urnacesor furnace-fines to have a large diameter, while the rear head of the combustion-chamber is supported by the furnacelues in such a manner as to be capable of withstanding the pressure in the boiler.
I claim as my invention- In a locomotive-boiler,the combination with the boiler-shell and rear head, of a cylindrical, corrugated combustion chamber having a fiat circular rear head and three cylindrical, corrugated furnace-lines communicating with the combustion-chamber and supported by the rear head of the combustion-chamber and the rear head of the boiler and located within the circumference of the rear head of the combustiolrchamber, one of the furnacelines being disposed above and between the other two, substantially as shown and described.
This speciflcation signed and witnessed this 1st day of March, A. D. 1902.
