Improvements applicable to Sauce-pans and other similar Vessels.
I WHISTON PAGE of 12 Pembroke Grove, Chorlton-upon-Medlock Manchester
in the County of Lancaster Practical Hair Worker, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates principally to sauce-pans fish kettles and other similar
vessels used for cooking purposes but it is also applicable to kettles and other
vessels used for boiling water or liquids.
The object of the invention is to prevent the water or other liquid from boiling
over the top of the sauce-pan or other vessel.
For this purpose I make the inside of the vessel with a ledge or shoulder
extending all round the inside (say) about an inch (more or less) below the top of
the vessel and about one eighth to a quarter of an inch wide; and the upper part
of the vessel above this ledge I form conical that is, gradually enlarged towards
the top.
The lid of the sauce pan or vessel I make to correspond that is to say instead of
having an inner flange projecting downwards I make the flange conical and pro-
jecting upwards all round the edge of the lid, so that the latter rests upon the
ledge or shoulder before mentioned and the conical turned up flange fits inside the
conical part of the vessel above the flange.
The extreme edge of the flange of the lid is bent outwards and sits on the top of
the vessel. The effect of this novel construction is that if there is any tendency
to boil over, the water or liquid meets with the lid and lifts it up off the shoulder
so as to allow the steam to escape before the liquid itself has reached to the top
of the vessel and consequently vent is given to the steam before any possibility of
boiling over occurs.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements applicable to Sauce-pans and other similar Vessels.
I WHISTON PAGE of 12 Pembroke Grove Chorlton-upon-Medlock Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Practical Hair Worker, 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 relates principally to sauce-pans kettles and other similar vessels
used for cooking purposes but it is also applicable to kettles and other vessels used
for boiling water or liquids.
The object of the invention is to prevent the water or other liquid from boiling
over the top of the sauce pan or other vessel.
The nature of my said invention and the manner in which the same is to be
performed or carried into practical effect will be readily understood on reference
to the annexed sheet of drawings and the following explanation thereof.
For the purposes of my invention I make the inside of the vessel a as shown in
section at Fig. 1 on the drawings with a ledge or shoulder b extending all round
the inside (say) about an inch (more or less) below the top of the vessel and about
one eighth to a quarter of an inch or more wide; and the upper part of the vessel
ונם...מ

page_text: above this ledge I form conical that is gradually enlarged towards the top as
shown at c.
The lid of the sauce-pan or vessel make to correspond therewith that is to
say instead of having an inner flange projecting downwards I make the flange
conical as shown at d and projecting upwards all round the edge of the lid, so
that the latter rests upon the ledge or shoulder b before mentioned and the
conical turned up flange d fits inside the conical part c of the vessel above the
same when closed as shown at Fig: 2.
The extreme edge e of the flange of the lid is bent outwards above the top
of the vessel. The effect of this novel construction is that if there is any
tendency to boil over, the water or liquid in rising meets with the lid and lifts
it up off the shoulder b so as to allow the steam to escape, before the liquid
itself has reached to the top of the vessel and consequently vent is given to the
steam before any possibility of boiling over occurs.
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 :-
First. A sauce-pan or other similar vessel having the inner side thereof at the
top made conical, in combination with a projecting ledge or shoulder immediately
below such conical part substantially as and for the purposes described.
Secondly. In combination with a sauce-pan or other similar vessel having its inner
side at the top made conical and having a projecting inner ledge or shoulder, a lid
made to fit and correspond with such conical part and to rest upon such ledge or
shoulder substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated
by the drawings annexed.
