An Improved Device for Indicating the Boiling of Water in Kettles
and like Utensils.
I, ARTHUR WIIITAKER, of 86, Castlereagh Street, Burnsley, Yorks., Assistant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention for an improved device for indicating the boiling of water in kettles
and like utensils relates to means whereby warning is given when the water boils and
boiling over will not take place.
According to this invention a small whistle or buzzer is fitted into the lid of the
kettle or other utensil so that when the water boils and steam is generated, the
whistle or buzzer is caused to sound and attract attention.
It will readily be seen that as warning is given when the water boils, boiling over
will not take place unless the warning is ignored.
Any suitable construction of whistle or buzzer may be used and the invention may
be applied to all domestic utensils in which water is boiled either by itself or when
used for cooking or boiling articles of food or the like.

An Improved Device for Indicating the Boiling of Water in Kettles
and like Utensils
I, ARTHUR WHITAKER, of 86, Castlereagh Street, Barnsley, York, Assistant, 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 for an improved device for indicating the boiling of water in kettles
and like utensils relates to means whereby warning is given when the water boils and
boiling over will not take place.
According to this invention a small whistle or siren is fitted into the lid of the
kettle or other utensil so that when the water boils and steam is generated, the
whistle or siren is caused to sound and attract attention.
It will readily be seen that as warning is given when the water boils, boiling over
will not take place unless the warning is ignored.
In order to more clearly describe this invention reference is had to the accompany-
ing sheet of illustrative drawings in which

page_text: Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a kettle lid constructed in accordance with
this invention and
Fig. 2 is a section of the indicating device.
The lid A of the kettle or other utensil is formed with a whistle B of a construc-
tion similar to that employed in toy and model steam engines or of other suitable
construction if desired, and it will be seen that when the water boils and steam is
generated the whistle is caused to sound and attract attention.
This invention may be applied to all domestic utensils in which water is
boiled either by itself or when used for cooking or boiling articles of food or the
like.
Instead of the whistle B a siren of suitable construction may be similarly placed
on the lid A.
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) An improved device for indicating the boiling of water in kettles and like
utensils consisting of a whistle or siren fitted in the lid of such utensil which when
the water boils and steam is generated is caused to sound and attract attention
substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
