PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Drinking Vessels, and in other Vessels to
Contain Liquids.
I LEWIS RICHARDS of 12 Park Villas Llanishen in the County of Glamorgan
Engineer and Works Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention is for the purpose of preventing sediment or other deposited
matter from the liquid in the vessel, from flowing with the liquid when the latter is
being drunk or poured out of the vessel. To effect this I provide on the inside of
the vessel at a suitable distance from the bottom a projecting ledge to be continuous
around the vessel or only partly so at one or more places as may be desired, and to
be with or without perforations. Or instead of a ledge as hereinbefore described
an enlargement of the vessel, at or near the bottom or at any other convenient place
on the vessel may be made the said enlargement to be shaped so as to form more or
less a shoulder at the place where it joins to the inside of the vessel above it.
The enlargement may be continuous around the part of the vessel where it is
placed or enlargements may be made at one or more separate places in that part.

being continuous around the inside of the vessel where it is placed or only partly
so at one or more separate places, and with or without perforations, as and for the
purpose substantially as described.
2. An enlargement in drinking vessels or other vessels to contain liquids the
said enlargement being near the bottom of the vessel or at any other convenient
place, and continuous around the inside of the vessel where it is placed or only
partly so at one or more separate places as and for the purpose substantially as
described.
