PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Heating Liquids.
JAMES PRIDE of 17 James Street, Paddington, London W. in the County of
Middlesex, Builders Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
I construct of tin, copper, or any suitable material, a novel kettlo for heating water
or any other liquid (without being placed on top of the fire) and which I construct
with one or more picces (preferably of tin) into a shoe shape, with lid and bandle
complete as Fig. 1.-(The handle and lid may be of any suitable construction)—and
may be made with or without lip or spout:-
The foot a. 1. on Fig. 1 may be made shaped as shewn, or diminished to a point, or
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Heating Liquids.
I JAMES PRIDE of No. 17 James Street, Paddington London W. in the County
of Middlesex, Builders Manager, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved apparatus for heating liquids, constructed in
the manner hereinafter particularly described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
My said invention consists in manufacturing with any suitable description of metal,
preferably tin, copper or malleable iron, an apparatus for heating liquids, which is
desiguel to be inserted between the fire-bars into the fire, and made in sizes to suit
any depth or width of grate or range and may be of such proportions that when so
inserted the weight of the contents of the portion a Figs. 1 and 2 would be sufficient
to prevent its falling out of the fire, thereby the said apparatus is most safe and
secure.
A special feature in the construction of my said apparatus is the great area of
beating surface obtained at top, bottom and si les of prong or prongs a. c. d and e.
Figs. 2. 3. 6 and 8, as well as at front of the body portion as shewn b Fig. 1, for, so
enormous is the area of heating surface in proportion to the contents of the apparatus
that the said contents are boiled most rapidly.
Fig. 1, is a side view of apparatus shewing one mode of construction.
Fig. 2. is plan of Fig. 1.

page_text: Fig. 3, is also a plan of Fig. 1 shewing two prongs c. c., those prongs may he
formed as shewn or shaped as d F.gs. 7 an 1 8.
Fig. 4, is a side view of another mode of construction.
Fig. 5, is a plan of Fig. 1.
Fg. 6, is also a plan of Fig. 4. the top portion of prong e Fig. 1.5 and 6 may be
as shewn or otherwise shaped. I sometimes round off the point as shewn by doited
lines Fig. 4, or I may form the end circular.
Fig. 7, is side view of another mo ie of construction.
Fig. 8, is a plan of Fig. 7, the prongs d Figs. 7 and 8 may be formed if so desired
as e Fig. 3, the body portion y as shewn in Figs. 1. and 7 may be of any
desired shape or form, the handles, lids and spouts way also be of any desired shape
or form.
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details herein
de-cribed of carrying my invention into effect, as the same may be varied without
departing from my said invention. I also wish it to be understood that I am aware
that shoe shaped kettles have already been made, and that I do not lay claim to the
shoe shape.
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
"The construction of apparatus for heating liquids, designed to be inserted between
the fire hars into the fire, with great heating surface, as herein fully described and
shewn on accompanying drawings in Figs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 and 8, substantially as
and for the purposes herein set forth."
Dated this 6th day of December 1890.
