ADOLPH YALKIN GERMAINS 24 Windsor Road Victoria Park Hackney Wick Patent
Medicine Vendor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Apparatus is made throughout of hard metal and stands upon three curved
legs. It is cylindrical in form, with a projecting rim 2 inches from the base, to
arrest the progress of the upper section when the Apparatus is closed.
The Apparatus is made in two parts, the upper portion fitting down over the lower.
The 1st or lower section is perforated all round within half an inch of the base, which
is flat. Within it is provided with a moveable perforated tray or false bottom to
contain the fuel and chemicals. This tray is circular in form and rests one inch from
the bottom upon three projecting feet. The 2nd or upper portion has a projecting
handle on each side; and one inch from the dome shaped top, there is an upward
spout that turns downward at two inches from the end.
The apparatus is twelve inches high and seven inches in diameter at the widest part
which is the rim of the lower section.
It is 5 inches in diameter at the top or extreme end of the 2nd section and five
inches high at the base of the first or lower section.
When the apparatus is made in one piece, doors are added on each side, for the
purpose of putting in the fuel and chemicals; the apparatus is only made in one piece
in very large sizes to save the inconvenience of lifting the upper section.
