EDWARD JONES of 30 Wellington Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham PERCOLATING
COFFEE JUGS.
That the Spout for outlet be partly formed inside and partly outside the jugs-
and so formed that jugs made of earthenware, stoneware, parian, delph, china,
pottery, porcelain, majolica, dresden, and every description of crockery or ordinary
or patent breakable ware; may have a rim or flange in them so that there may be
a wire ring to carry a bag and the spout so constructed that the bag will not
prevent pouring, so that pouring will be effectual either with bag or strainer of any
other description; and that the lids shall be loose made of any breakable ware or
any metal or composition, with as nearly as possible parrallel rim, and that the lids
so made will scarcely be able to fall out;-Furthermore that this principle of
coffee jug may be made in any & every description of metal or product, real or
composite; Moreover of whatsoever made this principal of coffee jug will have
the advantage of serving as a superior hot water jug ;-This principal of percolating
coffee jugs, securing the best mode of making coffee, by putting hot milk at the
bottom of coffee jug, and the coffee being percolated through bag or strainer
into the milk, this plan of making coffee preventing coffee being bilious, and
making far more pleasant tasted and more enjoyable coffee

EDWARD JONES 30 Wellington Road, Edgbaston Birmingham. PERCOLATING
COFFEE JUGS.
The object of this Invention is to provide percolating coffee jugs or pots with an
internal screen or inner spout as a continuation of the outer one, so that the
aperture is protected from the bag containing the coffee when the jug is tilted and
a perfect clearance left for the passage of the liquid.
My Invention consists essentially in fitting the interior of the jug below the
spout aperture with a screen or partition as a continuation or part of said spout,
against which screen the bag or strainer can rest when the jug is tilted for pouring
out the contents, the spout being so to speak partly inside and partly outside
the jug.
I form or fix a shoulder or flange in and below the mouth of the jug for the ring
of the bag or strainer to rest on, the lid of the jugs or pots to be made in metallic
or pitcher wares on any principle, thus making jugs or pots complete.
My Invention is clearly shown in the annexed sheet of Drawings, Figure 1 in
elevation, and Figure 2 in section, the jug being tilted to show how the bag would
rest upon the screen or internal spout. A is the jug and B is the screen or internal
part of the spout. C is the external part of same, the passage of the liquid being
from the lower part of the jug. The screen is of any varied shape or formation.
D is the shoulder or flange formed in the interior of jug; E is the ring of bag or
strainer F resting thereon.
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of a jug or coffee pot with the spout aperture G
towards the upper part of the body A and, with a straight inner screen B reaching
to nearly the bottom of the jug. The inner screen B can be carried down to the
bottom H and be perforated if desired, the outer spout C being always from the
upper part of body A.
Figure 4 is a sectional elevation of a tall coffee jug A with a high spout; this
jug has a short inner spout or screen B.
My Invention is applicable to all descriptions and shapes of jugs, or pots, or urns
whether in metal or pottery ware the interior being always available for being
readily cleaned or washed out, and when in use always leaving a clear passage
from the interior as to prevent the bag or strainer interfering with the operation
of pouring.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed I declare that I claim :-
First Forming the lower part of the spout proper of a percolating coffee jug
with a continuance or internal spout to below the bottom of the bag or strainer, or
as long or as short as may be expedient according to the shape of jug, as described
and as shown in the annexed drawings for the purposes set forth.
Secondly I claim:-Covering the spout aperture formed in the body of a spouted
jug, or pot, or urn by a screen (forming a continuation of spout) upon the inner
surface below the spout aperture, for the purpose or purposes set forth.
In witness whereof I the said Edward Jones have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Seventh day of September in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
