PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Vessel for Receiving and Removing Slops.
I, JULIA CHARLOTTE POWER Barrington Lodge Loughborough Park London S.W.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide housekeepers and housemaids with an
improved domestic utensil, to take the place of the unpractical and unsanitary
slop pail equally unsightly and uncleanly.
This housemaid's ewer is constructed to carry refuse water from the bedrooms
to the lavatory, for which the toilet pail or slop jar is unsuitable.
It is to be made of some incorrodible and unbreakable material such as wrought
iron enamelled ware or pure cream coloured stoneware.
The shape, may be after the style of an Etruscan vase. The ewer is fitted with
a swing handle for holding at the top, and has a small fixed handle similar to that on
hot water cans, connected to the back to facilitate pouring.
The lip must be broad and long enough to ensure, without inconvenience, a steady
pour down the waste pipe.
The lid must be easily adjustable, with perforations to admit the air, and may he
attached or separate as considered most convenient for easy ingress and egress of
refuse water.
The size should be sufficient to contain from 8 to 9 quarts of liquid.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Vessel for Receiving and Removing Slops.
I, JULIA CHARLOTTE POWER 299 Cold Harbour Lane Brixton, S.W. Authoress,
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:
The object of this invention is to provide housekeepers and housemaids with an
improved domestic utensil, to take the place of the unpractical and unsightly and
unsanitary slop pail.
The "Housemaid's Sanitary Ewer" is constructed to carry refuse water from the
bedrooms to the lavatory, for which purpose the toilet pail or slop jar is unsuitable.
It is to be made of some incorrodible and unbreakable material such as enamelled
iron, steel or of stoneware.
The shape may be after the style of an Etruscan vase narrowed at the top to
prevent spilling in pouring. The ewer is fitted with a swing handle (a) for holding
at the top and has a small fixed handle (6), similar to that on hot water cans,
connected to the back for pouring.
The lip (c) must be broad and long enough to ensure without inconvenience, or the
injurious spilling of contents, a steady pour down the waste pipe.
The lid (d) must be attached or removed. It is preferred attached, to prevent the
lid being placed on furniture, carpets etc. by a careless servant. It may be hinged
to one side of the month of the ewer or attached in any other convenient manner so as
to permit easy ingress and egress of refuse matter.
The size should be sufficient to contain from 8 to 9 quarts of liquid.

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 :
A vessel for receiving and removing slops, for the use of housekeepers and
housemaids substantially as and for the purposes herein before described.
Dated this 10th day of Santambor 1800.
