page_text: JACOB HENRY RADCLIFFE 51 Marlbrough Street Oldham in the county of
Lancaster Iron and Tin-plate worker, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for IMPROVEMENTS APPLIED TO THE CONSTRUCTINGS OF VESSELS FOR
FOOT WARMERS AND OTHER PURPOSES to be as follows:-
I apply tinned cast Malleable Iron to the ends or bottom and top of a vessel
oval or oblong or in any shape as required for foot warmers or other purposes, the
object of my invention is the saving of labor in Cutting, Shaping and Hammering
these parts. Each end having a Hange cast on to fit inside a tinned iron body on
the top I cast two projections and in each of these I core a hole to receive the ends
of a strong wire formed for a handle.

Worker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS APPLIED
TO CONSTRUCTING OF VESSELS FOR FOOT WARMERS AND OTHER PURPOSES and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
I apply tinned Cast Malleable Iron to the ends or Top & Bottom of a vessel oval
or oblong or in any shape as required for Foot Warmers or other purposes the
object of my invention is the saving of labor in cutting and shaping these parts.
Each End having a flange cast on to fit inside a tinned Iron Body. On the top
end I cast two projections in each of these projections I core a hole to receive the
ends of a strong wire formed for a Handle. I also cast a projecting neck on the
top end, in which I form a screwed thread for the purpose of receiving a screwed
plug. I here enclose Drawings and statement in referance. Fig 1 Represents one
of these vessels with the ends attached the body part A tinned Iron. B the bottom
end. C the top end. D the projection to receive a screwed plug for filling
purposes.. E the handle. FF two cored projections cast on to receive the ends of
the wire handle. This handle is fixed by being bent at G the points of the bandle
are put to the cored holes F F and then strightened again at G, the ends then
pass into the cored holes forming the handle, firmly without sother. HH Represents
cross plastes cast on from one side of the flange to the other the object of this is,
when the vessel is filled with cold water these two parts form an air chamber so
that the vessel cannot be filled there being air space within and when the cold
water is heated it expands and these air chambers allow for the expansion otherwise
the sothered joints would become leaky and bad.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
'
1 The Manufacture of Foot Warmers With Cast Malleable Iron Ends as
shewn.
2nd The application of Cast Malleable Iron Ends Tinned to other vessels, for
other purposes substanly as shewn.
In witness whereof I, the said Jacob Henry Radcliffe have hereunto set my
hand and seal this 23rd Twenty third day of September One thousand eight hundred
