COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
I, ALFRED HEDLEY COTTON, of Kaihu, Dargaville, in the Provincial District
of Auckland, and Colony of New Zealand, Teacher, 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 mustard pot is shaped as hereafter described to enable the user to eject
mustard from it by pressure in much the same way as water is ejected from a
syringe and to obviate the use of a spoon.
The pot is in two parts the upper one being a cylinder with a top piece and
nozzle, and the lower one a piston fitting into the cylinder and packed to pre-
vent the mustard oozing out. When the parts are fitted together the mustard
being in the cylinder is forced out of the nozzle by the piston being pressed
slightly upwards.
On the accompanying drawing three figures are shown of which Figure 1 is
a side elevation of the cylinder or chamber showing the top piece, nozzle and
lower flange; Figure 2 is a side elevation of the piston showing it partly hollow
and with packing round its upper end; and Figure 3 is a combination of the
cylinder and piston fitted showing all parts.
The different parts of the mustard pot are A cylinder, 13 top piece of cylinder A,
C nozzle to top D lower flange to cylinder projecting inwards, E piston F partly
hollowed out part of piston E, and G packing round upper part of piston E.
It consists of two main parts one being an upper chamber or cylinder A with
a top piece B screwed or hinged on having a nozzle or opening C in it. This
chamber or cylinder A is circular in shape and has a narrow flange 1) projecting
inwards on its lower end. The other part E which may be termed a piston is
made somewhat longer than and to fit into the chamber or cylinder A and it
has packing G around its upper end so that when fitted the packing will prevent
the mustard from leaking through. The piston E can be made hollow, partly
hollow as shown at F, or solid: it E is fitted into the cylinder A at its top, the
top piece B being raised for the purpose, and when so fitted is prevented from
passing out of the cylinder A at its lower end by the flange D. When the two-
main parts are fitted the piston E can be drawn down and the mustard poured
in at the nozzle C or it can be drawn in the same as water is drawn in to a syringe
when it can be used as required by the piston E being gently pressed up which
action will cause it to exude. Though the top piece B is described as being
screwed or hinged on it can be adjusted to the cylinder A in any suitable way

page_text: The nozzle C can be capped in any manner that will prevent the mustard from
exuding when not in use. All the parts of the pot except the packing can be
made of any suitable metal, hard wood, or any other material that will permit
of its being used for the purpose and of any size.
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:-
A combination in a mustard pot of a piston packed in an upper cylinder which
cylinder has an adjustable top piece and nozzle and a flange on its lower end
projecting inwards as herein set forth and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
