I, HERBERT GOODE of Tudor House, Hampstead Heath in the County of Middlesex
Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is to form a chamber utensil for invalids or children
with a pad or cushion of vulcanized india rubber or other protecting material all
around the upper surface of the rim so that a child or person sitting upon the utensil
will not be chilled or inconvenienced by coming into contact with the earthenware of
which the utensil is formed.
For this purpose I form the utensil with a rim which is flat on its upper surface
and on to this I cement a ring of vulcanized india rubber or other protecting material
preferably made hollow and flat on the underside to fit on to the rim and made rounded
on the upper side.
The rim may if desired be formed with a flange projecting upwards from it a short
distance all around its inner circumference or around both its inner and outer
circumference or might be formed without such flanges it might also be formed with
a dovetail or other groove running all around it and the underside of the vulcanized
india rubber or other ring be formed with a corresponding projection on its under side
to enter the groove or the ring might be formed with projections at intervals on its
under side to enter corresponding holes or recesses in the top surface of the rim. In
this case it would be unnecessary to use cement for holding the ring.
Or the rim may be formed to project not only around the exterior but also around
the interior of the top of the utensil and a ring of vulcanized india rubber or other
protecting material be sprung over the rim. The ring might if desired be made of
such a section as to embrace the rim and fit to its under side.
Or the same object may be attained by forming the rim of the utensil in such a
manner that a ring of metal carrying a cushion of vulcanized india rubber or other
protecting material on its upper side may be placed and retained on to it.

page_text: The rim should for this purpose be made flat on the top and have two or more holes
formed through it for pegs projecting from the underside of the metal ring to drop
into or the metal ring might be formed with spring clip pieces projecting downwards
from its inner circumference to clip under the inner circumference of the rim. In
this way the ring would be securely retained from slipping off the rim.

1, HERBERT GOODE of Tudor House, Hampstead Heath in the County of Middlesex,
Clerk, 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 object of my invention is to form a chamber utensil for invalids or children
with a pad or cushion of vulcanized india rubber or other protecting material all
around the upper surface of the rim so that a child or person sitting upon the utensil
will not be chilled or inconvenienced by coming into contact with the earthenware of
which the utensil is formed.
For this purpose I form the utensil with a rim which is flat on its upper surface and
on to this cement or fit a ring of vulcanized india rubber or other protecting
material. I preferably make this hollow and flat on the underside to fit on to the
rim (in which case the cement may be omitted) and made rounded on the upper side.
Figure 1 shows a plan and Figure 2 a vertical section of the latter arrangement..
The rim may if desired be formed with a flange projecting upwards from it a short
distance all around its inner circumference as shown in Figure 3 or around both its
inner and outer circumference as shown in Figure 4 or might be formed without such
flanges as shown in Figure -it might also be formed with a dovetail or other groove
running all around it and the under side of the vulcanized india rubber or other ring
be formed with a corresponding projection on its under side to enter the groove as
shown in Figure 6 or the ring might be formed with projections at intervals on its
under side to enter corresponding holes or recesses in the top surface of the rim as
shown in Figure 7.
Or the rim may be formed to project not only around the exterior but also around
the interior of the top of the utensil and a ring of vulcanized india rubber or other
protecting material be sprung over the rim which is made of such a section as to
embrace the rim and fit to its under side as shown in Figure 8.

page_text: Or the same object may be attained by forming the rim of the utensil in such
a manner that a ring of metal carrying a cushion of vulcanized india rubber or
other protecting material on its upper side may be placed and retained on to it.
The rim should for this purpose be made flat on the top and have two or more holes
formed through it for pegs projecting from the under side of the metal ring to drop
into or the metal ring might be formed with spring clip pieces projecting downwards
from its inner circumference to clip under the inner circumference of the rim as
shown in Figure 9. In this way the ring would be securely retained from slipping off
the rim.
Of the constructions above described I prefer that shown at Figures 1 and 2 as it
is easy to make, easy to put on and no cement is required to fix it."
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 chamber utensil whose rim is fitted with a pad or cushion of vulcanized india
rubber or other protecting material.
2. Chamber utensils substantially as described and shown at Figures 1–9.
