I LENA WHITE, of 1 Redcliffe Place Clarendon Road Chorlton-on-Medlock, near
Manchester, in the county of Lancaster Widow, Gentlewoman do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF HEATING THE
CONTENTS OF FEEDING BOTTLES, TRAVELLING FLASKS, OR OTHER VESSELS to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved hot water pocket for heating the liquids or
contents of feeding bottles, travelling flasks, or other vessels, and for retaining the
same in a heated state for a lengthened period: I form a pocket of any suitable
waterproof material, preferably india rubber, having contained within it a similar
pocket of smaller dimensions, joined together at the neck, either by being made in
one piece, or having a waterproof joint; space is thus left at the bottom and sides,
between the inner and outer pockets: This space I partly fill with hot or boiling
water through a funnel or tube, which I attach on one side of the top of the
pocket, the inner end of the tube being inserted within the space between the two
pockets: I form this funnel or tube of india rubber with a watertight metallic
screw top or plug, and if preferred with a holder or handle at one side to prevent
the hand being injured by the heat of the water when filling the pocket.
I place the feeding bottle, travelling flask or other vessel requiring to be heated
within the inner pocket, through the opening at the neck: The contents of the
bottle or other vessel are thus heated, and the heat retained by means of the hot
water contained between the inner and outer pockets, both of which form a
covering for the bottle.
In order more effectually to retain the heat, I may cover the outer pocket with
any non-conductor of heat such as felt, or any other suitable substance.
I may also form these pockets similarly as herein before described, but with
divisions, or compartments, in which to place two or more bottles.

I, LENA WHITE of 1 Radcliffe Place Clarendon Road, Chorlton on Medlock
Manchester, in the county of Lancaster Gentlewoman do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF HEATING THE
CONTENTS OF FEEDING BOTTLES, TRAVELLING FLASKS AND OTHER VESSELS and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to an improved hot water pocket for heating the contents
of feeding bottles, travelling flasks, or other vessels, and for retaining the same in a
heated state for a lengthened period.
I form a bag or pocket of any suitable flexible waterproof material preferably
indiarubber having contained within it a similar pocket of smaller dimensions,
joined together at the neck either by being made in one piece or having a
waterproof joint, space is thus left at the bottom and sides between the inner and
outer pockets: this space I partly fill with hot or boiling water through a funnel
or tube which I attach to one side of the top of the pocket, the inner end being
inserted within the space between the two pockets: I form the funnel or tube of
india rubber with a metallic screw top or plug, and if preferred with a handle or
holder at one side to prevent the hand being injured by the heat of the water
when filling the water space between the pockets: I place the feeding bottle,
travelling flask or other vessel requiring to be heated, within the inner pocket
through the opening at the neck: the contents of the bottle or other vessel are
thus heated, and the heat retained by means of the hot water contained between
the inner and outer pockets both of which form a covering for the bottle.
In order more effectually to retain the heat, I may cover the outer pocket with
any non-conductor of heat such as felt or any other suitable substance: I may also
form these pockets similarly as herein before described, but with divisions or
compartments, in which to place two or more bottles.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I now refer to the
accompanying sheet of drawings: in the several views contained therein similar
letters apply to similar parts.
Fig. 1 is side view, Fig. 2 longitudinal section and Fig. 3 transverse section of a
bag or pocket: Fig. 4 is transverse section of a bag with two compartments.
a. represents the outer covering of waterproof material forming the bag: 6 the
inner and smaller bag of similar material, both being connected by a watertight
joint at the top: c is the water space between the inner and outer bags: d is the
space in which the bottle or other vessel is placed for the purpose of being heated:
e is the nozzle cup; f the metallic pipe through which the water space c is filled
g the screw plug; an india rubber washer between the pipe and plug.

page_text: 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
1st A bag or pocket constructed of india rubber or any other suitable flexible
waterproof material, for use as a hot water pocket, in which to place feeding
bottles, travelling flasks, or other vessels, for the purpose of heating the contents of
such vessels, the said bag or pocket being formed, and having contained within it
a bag or pocket of smaller dimensions, and joined together at the neck either by
being made in one piece, or being formed with a waterproof joint, thus leaving
space between the inner and outer pocket such space being for the purpose of
holding hot or boiling water, by which means the contents of the said feeding
bottles, travelling flasks, or other vessels placed within the bag or pocket, are
heated, substantially as herein before described.
2nd A bag or pocket constructed as herein above described, but formed with
internal divisions, in which to place two or more feeding bottles flasks or other
vessels substantially as herein set forth and described.
