PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dishes and other Vessels with Covers.
I, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS OETZMANN, Complete House Furnisher 67 Hampstead
Road, London, N.W. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to the class of Dishes, Tureens and other Vessels having
removable covers and is intended to give the advantages of a hinged joint while
retaining every facility for easy and entire removal.
It comprises a cover fitting on to a flanged rim of a special shape. When the
lid is closed it rests on the rim but when it is required to be raised for use, instead
of having to be entirely removed and either kept in the hand or placed on the table &c.
it is simply turned backwards by raising one end only. This action causes the
opposite end of the lid to engage with the flanged portion of the rim which forms
part of the body of the dish or vessel, and becoming interlocked with this it is thereby
supported in an elevated position.
·
The fact of the cover being thus self-supporting not only economises space on the
table &c. but gives freedom to both hands.
Fig. 1. is a perspective view of a Dish A. with the cover B. closed. The dotted
lines show the flanges C, C, inside the ends of the cover.
Although this figure shows the interlocking principle applied to two ends only it
is also intended to utilize it on either one, two, three or four sides of any covered
dish or vessel in China, Glass, Earthenware or other material.
Fig. 2 is a half-section of a Dish or other vessel A. with the cover B fitting on the
flanged rim in the same manner as in Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged section of the essential parts of my invention. A. is the Dish.
B is the Cover. is the flange forming a portion of Dish A. and B¹ shows the
position of the cover when tilted back to open the dish.
Figs. 3 and 4 represent the cover B fitting either inside or on top of the flange C.
but when either of these forms is used the cover must be placed in the outside
flanged rim before being tilted.
It is obvious that the interlocking cover as above described can be adapted and
applied to a great number of useful and artistic forms of covered vessels; the particular
shapes shown in the drawings being only intended to illustrate the principle of this
invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Dishes and other Vessels with Covers.
I, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS OETZMANN Complete House Furnisher, 67 Hampstead
Road, London N.W. 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 :-
My invention relates to the class of dishes, tureens, and other vessels having
removeable covers and is intended to give the advantages of a hinged joint while
retaining every facility for easy and entire removal.
It comprises a cover fitting on to a flanged rim of a special shape.
When the lid is closed it rests on the rim but when it is required to be raised for
use, instead of having to be entirely removed and either kept in the band or placed
on the table &c. it is simply turned backwards by raising one end only.

page_text: This action causes the opposite end of the lid to engage with the flanged portion
of the rim which forms part of the body of the dish or vessel, and becoming interlocked
with this it is thereby supported in an elevated position.
The fact of the cover being thus self-supporting, not only economises space on the
table &c. but gives freedom to both hands.
In the drawings left with the Provisional Specification―
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a dish A with the cover B closed. The dotted
lines show the flanges C, C, inside the ends of the cover.
Although this figure shows the interlocking principle applied to two ends only it
is also intended to utilize it on either one, two, three, or four sides of any covered
dish or vessel in china, glass, earthenware or other material.
Figure 2 is a half section of a dish or other vessel A with the cover B fitting on
the flanged rim in the same manner as in Figure 1.
Figure 5 is an enlarged section of the essential parts of my invention. A is the
dish. B is the cover. C is the flange forming a portion of dish A, and B¹ shows the
position of the cover when tilted back to open the dish.
F
Figures 3 and 4 represent the cover B fitting either inside or on top of the
flange C but when either of these forms is used the cover must be placed in the
outside flanged rim before being tilted.
It is obvious that the interlocking cover as above described can be adapted and
applied to a great number of useful and artistic forms of covered vessels; the particular
shapes shown in the drawings being only intended to illustrate the principle of this
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. Dishes and other vessels whose bodies are provided with a flanged rim adapted
to receive the edge of the cover and support the cover in a raised position substantially
as described.
2. Dishes and other vessels substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
