Mrs. LILIAS PHILLOTT Widow independent of 27 Perham Road, West Kensington,
Middlesex, S. W. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvements consist in the construction of a small box or receptacle of a
suitable size and form for containing the fat, dripping, or liquids with which it is
intended to baste the meat. This box or receptacle has a tube or projecting portion
at its lower end, if a tube it is fitted with a perforated rose or fan piece, or if a
projection the latter is perforated, the tube or projection advancing sufficiently
forward so that the end of the same stands over the joint in such a way that the
liquid dripping will fall in a gentle shower & distribute itself upon the joint. The
Pan or receptacle is fitted with a handle by which it is suspended by preference to
the top of the door at the back of the hastener or it may be held by any other suitable
means to the same side of the hastener.
LILIAS PHILLOTT.

page_text: An improved Meat Baster.
I LILIAS PHILLOTT, Widow, Independent, of 27 Perham Road, West Kensington,
Middlesex, S. W., do hereby 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:
The object of my invention is to manufacture an improved apparatus for basting
meat, by the use of which the meat is properly basted while cooking and the close
personal attention usually required for that purpose is dispensed with.
My invention consists of a small box or receptacle of a suitable size and form for
containing the fat, dripping or other liquid or fluid with which it is intended to baste
the meat. The box or receptacle has a tube fitted with a perforated rose or spreader
or a fan or other projection placed in such a position that the end of the same stands
above the joint or other viands, and the melted dripping or fat falls in drops and
distributes itself thereupon.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained
reference is hereby made to the accompanying perspective drawing.
a is the receptacle for dripping or fat; b is a movable, perforated, or gauze screen
for keeping back any solid matter that may be mixed with the dripping or fat. This
screen is held in position in the slides c c and can be readily removed for cleansing.
The projection d shows one method of forming this portion of my invention as a
continuation of and in one with the receptacle a. ee are small perforations through
which the basting fluid percolates and falls on to the plate f, which projects the same
upon the viands.
The receptacle forming my invention may be mounted upon a stand 9: the uprights
of which are embraced by the clips hh, but it may be supported in any other
convenient manner, suited to the oven, roasting screen, or other article in connection
with which it is intended to be used or applied, and the fittings of the same.
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 :---
1. The manufacture and use of the improved basting apparatus, consisting of
a receptacle a, movable screen b, projection for clear basting fluid d having
perforations e e and plate for their several equivalents, substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated on the drawing.
2. The general construction, combination and arrangement of parts, together
forming my invention of an improved meat baster, substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated on the drawing.
