PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by Charles Carey at the Office of the
Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 22nd March 1856.
I, CHARLES CAREY, of 32, Union Grove, Wandsworth Road, in the County
of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of the Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE VESSELS AND FILTERS USED FOB MAKING INFUSIONS OF COFFEE AND OTHER
SUBSTANCES," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the vessels and filters used
for making infusions of coffee and other substances; for which purposes the
coffee pot, or other vessel employed, may be made externally to the design or
device desired, but internally it is formed with a projecting rib or stop, just
below the outlet passage; on to this projecting rib. or stop, an open frame
covered with suitable fabric for filtering the infusion is placed, and such frame
or filter is made to fit so tight or close around its circumference as to prevent
the passage of the fluid, except through the filtering medium. It is preferred
to employ china or earthenware in making the vessels, but other material may
be used. The infusion is first prepared in the pot or vessel, and then, before
pouring it out, the framed filter is introduced; hence, when the pot or vessel is
tilted (in order to pour out the infusion) the fluid portion will alone pass
through the filter, and the sediment will be kept back, and will not interfere
with the flow of the liquid portion of the infusion.
