A little device. Fig. 282—Patch for the kitchen boiler like that shown above can readily be made, and it will effectuallyand permanently close the hole. It consists of a square-headedbrass machine screw, with head flattened and pierced to receivea pin, whereby it is pivoted between the walls of a channel- HANDY MANS WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 34I shaped brass bearing piece.

The overhanging part of the bearing screw should belonger, and hence heavier, than the other portion, so as to makethe bearing piece swing to a vertical position as soon as it clearsthe inner surface of the boiler shell.
