PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Strainers for Tea, Coffee, or other Pots.
I, ARTHUR BOWMAN of 472 Brixton Road, in the County of Surrey, Jeweller, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the adaptation of a removable strainer or strainers such as
those patented or assigned to me under No. 6443. 27 May 1885, 12951. 28 Oct. 1885-
14,562-10 November 1886, 2072, 10 February 1887-10636, 23 July 1888-or
any modification of the same as regards material or shape.
Whereas tea or coffee pots or other vessels are in some cases at present made with
a partition separating the upper part of the pot from a lower compartment in com-
munication with the spont, and such- partition is perforated whether in pottery or other
ware; the holes so perforated must be either made too large for filtration, or,
if small, are almost certain to choke up particularly in pottery or other ceramic
ware.
I therefore apply to such partition one or more of my improved strainers, to filter
the flow of tea or coffee or other liquid to the lower compartment in communication
with the spout.
I make the strainer affixable to a seat or seats in the said partition, so as to be
readily removable at will to obtain access to the lower compartment, or to renew the
strainer when required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Strainers for Tea, Coffee, or other Pots.

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 adaptation of a removable strainer or strainers such as

Whereas tea or coffee pots or other vessels are in some cases at present made with a

I therefore apply to such partition one or more of my improved strainers to filter the
flow of tea or coffee or other liquid to the lower compartment in communication with
the spout.
I make the strainer affixable to a seat or seats in the said partition, so as to
be readily removable at will to obtain access to the lower compartment, or to renew
the strainer when required.
