COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or in connection with Stands or Receptacles
for Olives for Table Use, and in Stands or Receptacles for
analogous purposes.
I KATE MADELEINE BARBER of Westfield Knowle Warwickshire, do her by
declare the nature of my said 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 for improvements in stands or receptacles for olives, and stands or
receptacles for other like purposes used for the table, is to remedy an objection as
to the disposal of the stones, when taken from the olives, or other substances, when
taken from the edibles hitherto they have been put upon a plate or cast about the
room or fire place, in any case not at all inviting, or presentable, but very
objectionable.
I will describe my invention thus:-
I construct a stand or receptacle for the above purpose of any required shape or
configuration, or design.
As illustrative I may employ two shells or parts connected together one shell or
part would be to contain the olives or confection, or edible having no cover, but
the second shell or part would be provided with a cover constructed to fit the
same, and may be jointed or not in the centre of this cover would be an aperture
sufficiently large to admit the stone abstracted from the olive, or from the
confection or edible.
Or I may construct the stand or receptacle as one vessel divided into two parts
one part or division to receive the olive, or edible, and the other part or division
having the lid or cover with aperture for the purpose above set forth.
I construct these stands or receptacles of china, glass, metal, or other suitable
material.
And in order that this my said invention may be more readily understood, I will
now proceed to describe the same with the aid of the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
The same letters of reference denote the same part in each figure.
Figure 1 is a view in elevation of two shells, connected together and constructed
according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a view in elevation of one shell, constructed according to my
invention.
In Figure 1 a and b are the two shells or parts connected together at c.
d being the handle. receives or contains the olives or confection, and is the
aperture in the lid or cover f which is hinged at g (shewn partly open) through
which the stones are passed after abstraction, and into a and thus secreted.
In Figure 2 a is the shell which is divided into two parts, the uncovered part
receives or contains the olives or confection, while the lid or cover f is jointed or
hinged at g, (which is shewn closed) and e is the aperture through which the stones.
are passed and thus concealed.
In some cases the lid or cover would not be hinged, but placed on free for
removal.
I would observe in conclusion that I do not limit myself to the design here shown
nor to any particular design, as these may be varied according to the skill of the
artificer.

page_text: 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 :-
In "Improvements in or in connection with stands or receptacles for olives for
table use, and in stands or receptacles for analogous purposes."
1. The construction of two receptacles connected together, substantially for the
purposes herein before described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
