Complete Specification Accepted, 21st Sept.. 1888
1, MATTHEW SWAIN, of Railway Foundry, Newton Heath, Manchester, Iron
Founder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to the manufacture of hollow-ware such as saucepans,
kettles, and other cooking utensils, and have for object the superseding of the
necessity of tinning or coating the inside of the same.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I construct a lining, for cast
iron or other metal hollow-ware, composed of tin-plate, thin brass, steel, copper, or
any other suitable metal plates or sheets, which lining is forced, by hand or machine
tools, or otherwise fitted, into the interior of cast or other metal saucepans, kettles, or
other hollow-ware articles, and secured therein in any convenient manner.
By preference, I stamp or press this lining of tin-plate, or other metal plate or sheet
into shape by suitable dies and press, from single sheets, but the same may be formed
by soldering, by folding the joints at the edges, or in any other manner.
Also by preference I form the rim of the hollow-ware vessel, to be lined, with a
slight projection or flange all round, over which the edge of the tin-plate or other
metal plate or sheet lining is turned or folded, as a means of securing the same in the
vessel; but this may be accomplished by soldering round the edge, or by rivetting, or
by other means, and other variations may be made in the details of carrying out my
invention without departing from the peculiar character thereof, which mainly consists
in manufacturing hollow-ware vessels by lining the same with tin-plate or other
metal plate or sheet, in lieu of tinning or coating the interior surface, as at present
obtains.
Dated this 7ih day of November 1887.

Founder, 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 improvements relate to the manufacture of hollow-ware such as saucepans,
kettles, and other cooking utensils, and have for object the superseding of the
necessity of tinning or coating the inside of the same.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I construct a lining, for cast

Also by preference I form the rim of the hollow-ware vessel, to be lined, with a
slight projection or flange all round, over which the edge of the tin-plate or other
metal plate or sheet lining is turned or folded, as a means of securing the same in the
vessel; but this may be accomplished by soldering round the edge, or by rivotting, or
by other means, and other variations may be made in the details of carrying out my
invention without departing from the peculiar character thereof, which mainly
consists in manufacturing hollow-ware vessels by lining the same with tin-plate or
other metal plate or sheet, in lieu of tinning or coating the interior surface, as at
present obtains.
But that the improvements may be better understood, I will by the aid of the
accompanying drawing proceed to describe means employed by me.

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 :-
The manufacture of hollow-ware by lining the same with tin or other thin metallic
plates, whether by means of machine or hand tools, in lieu of tinning or coating the
interior surface, for the purpose and in manner substantially as hercin shown and
described.
