page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Tulloch Goudie, of Glasgow, in the County of
Lanark, North Britain, Waterproof Clothing Manufacturer, for an Invention
of "A NEW OR IMPROVED VESSEL OR APPLIANCE FOR HEATING OR
RETAINING HEAT IN LIQUIDS OR BEVERAGES, SUCH AS MILK, TEA, AND
COFFEE."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Tulloch Goudie at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 29th September 1881.
JAMES TULLOCH GOUDIE, of Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North Britain,
Waterproof Clothing Manufacturer. "A NEW OR IMPROVED VESSEL OR APPLIANCE
FOR HEATING OR RETAINING HEAT IN LIQUIDS OR BEVERAGES, SUCH AS MILK,
TEA, AND COFFEE,"
This Invention relates to a new or improved vessel or appliance designed for
heating or retaining heat in liquids or beverages contained in separate bottles or
vessels, and intended to be used for refreshment in travelling, or for feeding children,
and such like cases, in which it is desirable that the heat of the liquid or the heat
imparted to it should be retained for a considerable time.
The improved vessel or appliance is made of vulcanised rubber, or rubber and
cloth combined in the form of a flexible double bag or pocket, the one bag or
pocket being placed inside the other, and the inner being made a little shorter than
the outer one. The bags or pockets are united together at their open ends or
mouths in such a manner as to render water-tight the space or chamber which they
enclose or form between them, and which is filled with hot water or other hot
liquid. The inner bag is quite open and free as a pocket for containing the
feeding bottles, flasks, or cases to be heated or kept hot therein. For the purpose
of keeping the bags in their relative positions the bags or pockets are by
preference fastened or united together at their sides along the whole or part of
their length.

page_text: An opening is formed at the mouth of the bags where they are joined together,
and a short flexible tube with a water-tight screw or stopper at one end is inserted
and fastened thereto for the purpose of filling and emptying the water-tight
chamber or cell between the walls of the bags. A strap, sling, or handle is fitted to
the sides of the mouth of the vessel for convenience of carrying and use, and the
outside of the vessel is by preference covered with a removable flannel bag or
covering fitted with buttons, hooks, or other fastenings for closing it and the mouth
of the heating vessel.
A heating or heat retaining vessel thus made, and with its water-tight chamber
filled with hot water, may be used to heat milk in an infant's feeding bottle, and
keep the milk in a heated condition; or the vessel may be used by travellers and
others to heat or retain the heat in flasks or cases containing tea, coffee, or other
beverages for use at a considerable interval after filling.

the said James Tulloch Goudie in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
23rd March 1882.
JAMES TULLOCH GOUDIE, of Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North Britain,
Waterproof Clothing Manufacturer. "A NEW OR IMPROVED VESSEL OR APPLIANCE
FOR HEATING OR RETAINING HEAT IN LIQUIDS OR BEVERAGES, SUCH AS MILE,
TEA, AND COFFEE."
My said Invention relates to a new or improved vessel or appliance designed for
heating or retaining heat in liquids or beverages contained in separate bottles or
vessels, and intended to be used for refreshment in travelling, or for feeding children,
and such like cases. in which it in
at snould be retained for a considerable time.
quia or the heat
The Invention is illustrated by the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, of which
Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section taken through the centre of the improved
vessel or appliance; Figure 2 is a front elevation; and Figure 3, a plan of the
same.
Referring to these Drawings, the improved vessel or appliance is made of vulcanized
rubber or rubber and cloth combined, in the form of a flexible double bag or pocket
A, A', the one bag or pocket A¹ being placed inside the other A, and the inner
being made a little shorter than the outer one. The bags or pockets are united
together at their open ends or mouths at a, as shown in Figure 1, in such a manner
as to render water-tight the space or chamber which they enclose or form between
them, and which is filled with hot water or other hot liquid. The inner bag A¹ is
quite open and free as a pocket for containing the feeding bottles, flasks, or cases
to be heated or kept hot therein, such as B in Figure 1. For the purpose of keeping
the bags in their relative positions the bags or pockets are by preference fastened
or united together at their sides a¹ along the whole or part of their length, and
they may also be united by webs a³, as indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 3,
to prevent the weight of the bottle B pressing the inner against the outer bag
when laid down.
An opening is formed at the mouth of the bags where they are joined together
at a, and a short flexible tube C with a water-tight screw c or stopper at its end is
inserted and fastened thereto for the purpose of filling and emptying the water-tight
chamber or cell between the walls A, A, of the bags. A flexible mouthpiece or
funnel C is also fitted to the tube C to prevent spilling of water when filling. A
strap, sling, or handle D is fitted to the sides or to each side of the mouth of the
vessel for convenience of carrying and use, and straps and buttons or other
fastenings may be provided for retaining the bottle or flask in the space between
the bags. The outside of the vessel is by preference covered with a removable bag
or covering of flannel or other fabric, shown by the dotted lines E, and fitted with
buttons, hooks, or other fastenings e for closing it and the mouth of the heating
vessel A, A. A heating or heat retaining vessel thus made, and with its water-
tight chamber filled with hot water, may be used to heat milk in an infant's
feeding bottle, and keep the milk in a heated condition; or the vessel may be used
by travellers and others to heat or retain the heat in flasks or cases containing tea,
coffee, or other beverages for use at a considerable interval after filling.
Having thus particularly described my said Invention, I have to state that I do
not restrict myself to details of construction as herein delineated, but what I believe
to be novel and original and claim as my Invention is :-The construction of a heating
or heat retaining vessel or receptacle with an inner and outer bag A, A', of rubber,
rubber and cloth, or other flexible and water-tight material, connected together to

page_text: form a pocket for the reception of a bottle, flask, or other article, and also a chamber
between the walls of the bags to contain hot water or other liquid, means being
provided for filling in such liquid, substantially as and for the purposes herein set
forth in reference to the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Tulloch Goudie, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Eighteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
