COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pots and Urns for Coffee and the like.
I, FRANÇOIS CUSIN, of 8, Clarence Terrace, Regents Park, in the County of
London, Valet, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in pots, urns or the like for coffee and
other beverages which have generally added to them other liquids, such as milk,
whereby I am enabled to obtain from the same delivery both of such liquids mixed,
or either liquid separately.
According to my invention a pot, urn or other vessel divided into two com-
partments communicating with a spout is provided with an adjustable valve
which can be set in the required position to deliver the liquids either mixed or
separately.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a pot constructed according to my invention; and,
Figure 2 is a plan of the same, the lid being shewn open:
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation; and,
Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are views illustrating the construction and arrangement
of the valve.
a is the pot proper, having the partition 6 which extends from the back to the
front of the pot, as shewn in Figures 2 and 3, and also up through the spout as
indicated in Figure 2 by dotted lines, and in Figure 4 which is a longitudinal
section through the upper end of the spout.
is my valve which as shewn is adapted to turn within a collar d around the
mouth of the spout, the said valve having a semi-circular passage e therethrough,
as shewn in Figures 6 and 7, which are respectively an elevation and central
section of the said valve detached. The said passage e is of such shape that it will
coincide with either passage through the spout, the platef forming the straight side
of the passage e being deep enough to form a practical continuation of the
partition so that when the said passage is opposite either one or the other of the
two passages of the spout only one of the two kinds of liquid contained by the pot

the passage e is partly in line with one passage of the spout and partly in line with
the other both liquids will flow simultaneously.
In practice I usually engrave upon the side of the spout through which, say,
milk is to flow the word "milk" and on the other side the word "coffee" and upon
the top of the spout the word "both" and I fix upon the valve c a pointer g which,
when turned opposite one or the other of the words "coffee or "milk," will
ensure the valve being in proper position for the delivery of the corresponding
liquid and when opposite the word “both in a position to allow both of the
liquids to flow simultaneously.
"
h is a flange arranged around the upper part of the division designed to contain
"coffee" for the purpose of carrying a filter bag in the ordinary manner.
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 combination with a pot or urn for coffee or the like having a spout and a
partition dividing the said vessel into two parts and extending through the spout,
of a valve upon the said spout adapted to allow the liquid to flow from either side
of the partition or from both sides simultaneously, substantially as described.
2. The improved pot or urn for coffee and the like hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
