14,989. Ranke, H. J. July 5. Water-heating gas stoves.-A water-heater for baths and other purposes is formed of an outer casing 1, which is entirely detached from the hot-water jacket. The water enters through a valve 7 a conical annular casing 5, the inner side of which is corrugated, and thence passes through a union 32 to a second similar casing 4. From the latter it passes in succession through a flat annular pipe 33, a vertical pipe 10, a reversed funnel casing 9, and a tube 12 leading to the delivery pipe 11. The hot gases from the burner 15 pass in the direction of the arrows to the outlet 16. The gas cannot be lit until the burner is withdrawn from the casing and the water is turned on, and the latter cannot be turned off until after the gas has been turned off. To effect these objects, the gas valve has a disc 23, having a slot 36 into which a feather 20 on the socket 35 of the water valve engages, so that, to enable the water to be turned off, the disc 23 must be in such a position that the feather 20 and the slot 36 can engage, that is, in the position when the gas is turned off. Further, the burner 15 is rigidly attached to a small hinged door 17, and to a socket 29 surrounding a tap plug 28. The socket 29 carries a cam disc 30, which, when the burner is swung out of the casing, engages with a counterweighted two-armed lever 24 and removes it from engagement with an opening in a disc 27, and thereby allows the gas tap to be turned on by means of the handle 31.
