PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mustard Pot.
ROLAND JOHN SMITH Clerk Beech Villa Northfield Worcestershire do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
I take a piece of metal or other suitable material, and shape it into a cover with
a rim round the edge, which cover and rim I make in various sizes to fit different
sizes of jars suitable for holding mustard. Through the centre of the aforesaid cover
I make a hole of suitable size to admit a spoon or ladle, as explained hereafter.
The said cover I make to fit quite loosely. I now take a piece of metal or other
suitable material and form a spoon or ladle, the stem of which I pass loosely
through the hole in the aforesaid cover, and on that part of the stem nearest the
spoon or ladle, resting in the jar, and directly underneath the cover, I make a small
projection which acts as a stop and prevents the spoon slipping through the hole in
the cover farther than is required. On the upper part of the stem above the cover
I make a handle which when raised, takes with it the cover which rests on the
projection on the stem and is prevented thereby from coming in contact with the
spoon or ladle bowl. My object is to do away with the hinge usually attached to
mustard pots, by raising the lid along with the spoon or ladle, leaving the jar free,
thereby being easily cleaned, whilst when in use, only a single action is necessary to
extract mustard namely raising the handle, whereas the two hands are required to
use the ordinary article.
Dated this 18th day of February 1891.

I ROLAND JOHN SMITH, Clerk, Beech Villa, Mill Lane, Northfield Worcester-
shire 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 :-
I take a piece of metal or other suitable material and shape it into a cover A
with a rim B round the edge, which cover and rim I make in various sizes to fit
different sizes of jars C suitable for holding mustard. Through the centre of the
aforesaid cover make a hole D of suitable size to admit a spoon E or ladle Eas
explained hereafter. The said cover I make to fit quite loosely. I now take a
piece of metal or other suitable material and form a spoon or ladle, the stem F of
which I pass loosely through the hole in the aforesaid cover, and on that part of
the stem nearest the spoon or ladle resting in the jar and directly underneath the
cover, I make a small projection G which acts as a stop and prevents the spoon
slipping through the hole in the cover farther than is required. On the upper part
of the stem above the cover I make a handle H which when raised takes with it
the cover which rests on the projection on the stem and is prevented thereby from
coming in contact with the spoon or ladle bowl I.
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
