COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Egg-boiling Glass and Shew-card Combined to Time the Boiling
of Eggs and for Advertising Purposes.
I JOHN THROPP formerly of 813 Grimesthorpe Road, but now of 4 Exchange
Gateway Fargate Sheffield in the County of York Mechanic 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 in writing,
that is to say :-
This Invention relates to and consists in the production and use of an egg-boiling
glass in combination with a shew-card, which shew-card will have inscribed or put on
it any required advertisement or advertisements.
In carrying out my invention in practice I prefer to affix a suitably sized egg-
boiling glass about the centre, and in front of any desirable shew-card, or it can be
affixed to any other part of the shew-card which may be thought necessary or
desirable, and in further carrying out my invention I prefer to proceed as follows:-
In order to hold the egg-boiling glass in position I provide any suitable holder or
frame or stand which may be made of any shape or design, and either of tin and wire
or of any other suitable material or materials. The egg-boiling glass is placed in
position in front of the said shew-card, or at any other part of the shew-card if
required, such as near the top or near the bottom of it. The back of the holder or
frame or stand is coupled or secured to the shew-card by means, of a rivet, a stud,
or other similar holding device, which is passed through a hole or a suitable opening
made in the centre of the back of the holder or frame or stand, and through a
corresponding hole or opening made in the shew-card; the coupling or securing
however must be so effected as to leave the egg-boiling glass and holder or frame

page_text: readily revolvable so that the same can be moved round, or half round, on the
rivet stud or other holding device and cause the sand, or its equivalent, in the
egg-boiling glass, when turned -round (or revolved) in the way egg-boiling glasses
are usually turned, to run from one to the other end of the glass and when run
down thus time the boiling of the egg or eggs.
On the shew-card which is combined with the egg-boiling glass and the holder or
frame or stand any suitable advertisement or advertisements, or any other notice or
announcement in the nature of an advertisement can be inscribed or put in any
desired style either of colour or colours or of design, thereby making this improved
combination of great utility and advantage in effecting the timing of the boiling of
eggs and the displaying of advertisements or similar announcements or notices.
The whole combined apparatus or device is intended to be hung up or placed on
walls in rooms or buildings, or it can be placed in any other required or convenient
and suitable place or places.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is: :-
The production and use of a novel and useful combined apparatus or means, which
while being used for timing the boiling of eggs will display an advertisement or
advertisements or other announcements or notices, substantially as herein before
described, or any equivalent modification or variation in the said combination of
apparatus or means.
