PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Appliance for Conveying and Distributing Vapour into
Rooms from Kettles and the like.
I, HENRY ELLIS, of No. 30 Augusta Road, Ramsgate, in the County of Kent,
Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in providing a long tube or spout similar to what is fitted
to bronchitis kettles and one end thereof being cut to an acute angle it is fixed
to the margin of an elongated hole made in a flat disc or plate suitable for placing
upon the lid opening of a kettle or the like and which is there kept in position by
a wire loop fixed underneath the disc or plate which presses upon the inner edge
of the lid opening. Provision is made at two opposite points of the disc or plate
for reducing its diameter in cases where the appliance is required for kettles of
smaller sizes.
The outlet end of the tube is made to receive loose nozzles suitable for inhalation
or which will contain medicated wool or the like.

Rooms from Kettles and the like.
HENRY ELLIS, of No. 30 Augusta Road, Ramsgate, in the County of Kent,
Machinist, 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 consists in providing a long tube or spout similar to what is fitted

wire loop fixed underneath the plate, which loop presses upon the inner edge of
the lid opening. The outlet end of the tube is made to receive loose nozzles
suitable for inhalation or which will contain medicated wool or the like.
To show clearly how my invention is carried out I furnish drawings.
Fig. 1 shows the upper side of plate A with tube B and loop D.
C, C, are thin pieces of the plate which can be easily cut away, so as to allow
the handle to fit into the spaces so made. This contrivance enables the same
apparatus to be used with kettles of smaller size.
Fig. 2 shows the under side of plate A.
Fig. 3 shows a form of nozzle suitable for inhaling. This may be fitted with a
perforated diaphragm at F.
Fig. 4 shows another form of nozzle with perforated end G. This form is
suitable for containing medicated wool or the like.
Fig. 5 shows the kettle with plate, tube and nozzle E.
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. A portable appliance for attaching to kettles and similar articles consisting
of a tube fixed to a disc or plate, which plate is furnished with loon for securing
