    Leigh’s Improvements in Water-heating. Distilling and Sterilizing Apparatus. series having convexo-concave heating surfaces and the other series having concavo-convex heating surfaces, arranged alternately with each other, said sections being so formed and arranged as to cause the products of combustion to pass through the sections of one of the horizontal series and around and over the outer periphery of the other horizontal series, all of the sections being in 5 communication with one another, a communication between the lower horizontal section and the vertical section, whereby the inflowing water is caused to divide, one part flowing through the horizontal sections and the other part through the vertical sections, both parts uniting at the upper portion of said vertical section, and a draw-off pipe at substantially the highest point of the heater; 10 substantially as described. 2. In a water heating, distilling and sterilizing apparatus, a water heating disc having an opening therein, and a boss for the attachment of a pipe on said disc about said opening, said boss having a groove in its face adjacent the disc into which groove fits the edge of the disc surrounding the said opening, 15 the inner edge of the opening of the boss being turned over to clasp the said disc edge; substantially as described. d. In a water heating, distilling and sterilizing apparatus, a water heating chamber, a condensing passage, reservoir into which said condensing passage empties, a sterilizing box, a pipe connecting said water heating chamber with 20 said condensing passage, a second pipe leading from said first pipe into said reservoir, and a third pipe leading from said second pipe into said sterilizing box; substantially as described 4. In a water heating, distilling and sterilizing apparatus, a water heating chamber, a condensing passage, a reservoir into which said condensing passage 25 empties, a sterilizing box, a pipe connecting said water heating chamber with said condensing passage, a second pipe leading from said first pipe into said reservoir, and a third pipe leading from said second pipe into said sterilizing box, there being provided at the junction of the first and second pipes a valve adapted to connect said chamber with either the condensing passage or the second 30 pipe, and at the junction between the second and third pipes a valve adapted to connect said first pipe with either the box or the reservoir; substantially’ as described. 5. In a water heating, distilling and sterilizing apparatus, an outer wall which is flared to produce a chamber open upon one side, said wall upon the 35 other side converging to produce a throat, a pipe extending from said throat, a bridge across said pipe and extending through the same to said throat, an interior casing wall connected to said bridge and the pipe at said throat and extending to form an inner chamber within said first mentioned chamber, said inner chamber being open upon the side corresponding to the open side of the 40 first mentioned chamber, whereby there is produced a burner having two sepa¬ rate chambers each of which lias a separate inlet channel, and a perforated combustion plate supported upon the walls of said chambers, substantially as described.
