PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Securing of Stone or Glass Linings in Metal
Table Articles.
ARTHUR GEORGE IRELAND, Director of the Silversmith Company of Stokes
& Ireland Limited 83 & 84 Great Hampton Street Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention is for all table articles having glass or stone linings, such as metal
mustard pots, butter coolers, salt cellars, cups, and other metal table articles.
Heretofore such articles have always had loose linings, thus being liable to breakage
from dropping out, or when removed for cleaning.
To obviate this I construct a metal rim "Fig. 2" in accompanying drawing
which fits flush, & firmly, round the top edge of the article " Fig. 1," the glass or
stone lining having been previously inserted. The said rim holds the glass or stone
lining quite firm, thus preventing any displacement or looseness, & enabling the
article to be cleaned without removing the stone or glass lining-which becomes
an integral part of the article.
Dated this 31st day of October 1893.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Securing of Stone or Glass Linings in Metal
Table Articles.
ARTHUR GEORGE IRELAND, Manufacturing Silversmith 83 Great Hampton
Street, Birmingham, 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 invention consists of a metal rim which is fixed on the top of the metal
table article, & covers the glass or stone lining (so that the edges of neither can be
seen) and retains both in a secure manner as shown in drawings. As an example,
I will suppose the article is a mustard pot with a glass or stone lining inside, I turn
a rim which is the Patent claimed which rim I fasten flush on to the top of the
metal mustard pot and the lining, which retains both in position. The advantages
are that the lining is protected from breakage on the top, & is irremovable, & the
lining has not to be removed for washing, being an integral part of the mustard
pot, which saves trouble, & looks compact & neater. The said rim is soft soldered
on, & is detachable by heat when required in case of repairs.
Fig. 1. on drawing shows rim ready to be placed on mustard pot.
Fig. 2. shows the projecting ledge inside rim which rests on the metal edge of
mustard pot, & on the stone lining.
Fig. 3 shows outside edge of rim which drops on the outside edge of the top of
mustard pot & which is soft soldered down as seen on Fig. 4.
Fig. 4. shows mustard pot complete with rim on, & section of rim.
Fig. 5 shows the stone lining inside mustard pot permanently held down.
Fig. 6. is an enlarged sketch showing projecting ledge (inside) of aforesaid rim
as it rests flush on the metal edge and stone edge of mustard pot.
