PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Supporting a Vessel on a Gas Globe or Shade.
We, FRANK HOWARD BARWELL, HERBERT BARWELL, and HENRY PHILIP
KIMBERLEY, trading together as James Barwell, Sons, & Co., of Worcester
Works, Clement Street, in the City of Birmingham, Gas Fittings Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of the hereindescribed improved means for supporting a
kettle or saucepan or other vessel on a gas globe or shade over a gas light so as to
boil or otherwise heat the contents of the vessel; this invention is designed to suit
gas globes or shades of all shapes and sizes including those wide shallow glass
globes or shades which are commonly known as saucers or basins.
In carrying out this invention we provide a support or holder for the kettle or
other vessel preferably formed of wire or of strip metal and made in the form of
two, three or more arms fixed together and radiating from a common centre.
These arms project outwardly and upwardly and they are shaped so as to rest in
and on the top of the gas globe or shade and thus support the kettle or other
vessel partly within the open top of the globe or shade and immediately above
the gas light and leave a space round the vessel for the escape of heated air from
the globe or shade.
The said arms are by preference stepped so as to fit on and into the open tops of
globes or shades of various sizes and they are made long enough to rest on to the
open tops of those wide globes or shades which are commonly known as saucers or
basins.
The said arms may either be made separate from the kettle or other vessel
as above described, or the arms may be fixed to the kettle or other vessel and
in either case the outer parts of the arms are by preference bent down below
the bottom of the kettle or other vessel so as to form legs on which the kettle
or other vessel will stand when it has been removed from the globe or shade.

We, FRANK HOWARD BARWELL, HERBERT BARWELL, and HENRY PHILIP
KIMBERLEY, trading together as James Barwell Sons & Co., of Worcester
Works, Clement Street, in the City of Birmingham, Gas Fittings Manufacturers,
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:-
This invention consists of the hereindescribed improved means for supporting a
kettle or saucepan or other vessel on a gas globe over a gas light so as to boil or
otherwise heat the contents of the vessel; this invention is designed to suit gas

page_text: globes or shades of all shapes and sizes including those wide shallow glass globes
or shades which are commonly known as saucers or basins.
We will describe this invention by referring to the accompanying drawings on
which
Fig. 1 is a general view of our invention;
Fig. 2 shews our invention as in use on a gas globe or shade and supporting a
saucepan over the gas light;
Fig. 3 is a plan of our invention and the globe and shade and
Fig. 4 shews our invention removed from the globe and forming a stand for the
saucepan.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In carrying out this invention we provide a support or holder for the sauce-pan A,
or for a kettle or other vessel, formed of wire or of strip metal and made in the
form of arms fixed together at and radiating from a common centre.
These arms
are by preference four in number formed of two strips of metal marked
respectively B and C crossing each other and rivetted together at the centre d
thus forming the four arms BBCC (see Fig. 1) which project outwardly and
upwardly as shewn. The said arms are shaped so as to form a flat part e for
the bottom of the vessel A to rest upon and they project upwardly at f round
the sides of the vessel A and they then bend outwardly and upwardly at g to
rest on the top of the globe or shade F (as shewn in Fig. 2) and then curve
downwardly at 7 below the bottom of the sauce-pan A or kettle or other vessel so
as to form legs on which the vessel will stand as shewn in Fig. 4 when it has been
removed from the globe or shade. The arms B B C C will thus rest in and on
the top of the gas globe or shade F (see Fig. 2) and support the sauce-pan A or
kettle or other vessel partly within the open top of the globe or shade and
immediately above the gas light and leave a spacej round the vessel A for the
escape of heated air from the globe or shade.
The arms B BCC are by preference stepped at i so as to fit on to and
into the open tops of globes and shades of various sizes and they are made long
enough to rest on to the open tops of those wide globes or shades which are
commonly known as saucers or basins.
The said arms B BCC may be made separate from the kettle or other vessel
as above described and shewn in Fig. 1 or the arms may be fixed to the kettle as
shewn in Fig. 4 so as not to be removable from the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. The hereindescribed improved stand for supporting a saucepan or other vessel
on and partly within the open top of a gas globe or shade, said stand consisting of
radial arms fixed together and shaped substantially as described and shewn so as to
rest upon the globe or shade and carry the sauce-pan partly within the open top
of the same and also to fit globes or shades of various sizes as set forth.
2. The combination with a sauce-pan kettle or other vessel of radial arms fixed
thereto and projecting from the bottom of the same and shaped substantially as
described and shewn so as to rest upon the globe or shade and carry the sauce-pan
partly within the open top of the same and also to fit globes or shades of various
sizes as set forth.
Dated this 14th day of September 1895.
