APPENDIX-A
The following is a summary of what our invention consists of
This invention relates to a WATER-HEATER for wood-fired stoves. It is common
for people to
place cumberson water pots on wood stoves to provide hot water and humidity.
We have found
that incorporating the WATER-HEATER with the chimney by means of a double pipe
to create
a water jacket would free the stove top while providing a greater volume of
hot water in much
less time. It would also provide a much easier and safer dispensing method by
way of a tap.
Our invention, while being one piece, consists of two main parts. T a ' ide,
smaller diameter
pipe will serve as the chimney and the heat source for the water jacket. The
outside, larger
diameter pipe will serve as the water jacket. The top and bottom of the water
jacket will have
a hole in the center to allow the chimney to run through them. They will then
be welded to make
them watertight. The bottom will be fitted with a water tap to dispense the
hot water. The top
of the water jacket will have a funnel running through to allow the user to
fill it with cold water.
It will also have a safety valve on the opposite side to allow any surge of
steam to escape in order
to prevent the user from getting burnt as he is filling the water jacket. The
water heater will be
constructed mainly with stainless steel or any other material that we may see
fit. It can be
constructed any size to suit any wood-stove.
See Appendix-B, Appendix-C and Appendix-D for further details.
