PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in and connected with Domestic Boiler Fillers,
Watering Cans, Toilet Cans, Tea Pots, and Coffee Pots
We, WILLIAM HENRY WOOD, Junior, of the Firm of W Randle & Co,
of 117, Granville Street, in the City of Bumingham, Wrought Iron Hollow-ware
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM THOMAS SCRIVENS, of 94, Branston Street, in the
City of Bumingham, aforesaid, Iion Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows
-
This invention consists of the hereindescribed improvements in fixing the spouts
to domestic boiler fillers, watering cans toilet cans, tea pots and coffee pots so as to
make a reliable joint without the use of rivets, soldering or brazing
According to one method of carrying out this invention the base of the spout is
flanged outwardly all round and the edge of this flange is closed round one flange
of an angle section ductile metal ring which is thus secured to the spout making
the said flange of double thickness of metal The other flange of this angle section
ring forms a short continuation of the spout and is passed through the spout hole in
the body from the outside and is hammered or otherwise closed down against the
inside of the body forming a flange inside the body between which and the afore-
said outside flange on the base of the spout, the body is firmly gripped thus
effectually fixing the spout and body together
Instead of employing the separate angle section ring as aforesaid, this ring may
be dispensed with and the said outer flange of double thickness may be raised out
of the spout itself by dies worked in a press or by other means which cause the
metal to bulge outwardly and form the flange (like the rim on a saucepan lid) to
The base of the spout passes through the
fit against the outside of the body
spout hole into the body and is hammered or otherwise flanged outwardly to
grip the body against the outside flange of the spout in the same way as when the
angle section ring is used as above described

Improvements in and connected with Domestic Boiler Fillers,
Watering Cans, Toilet Cans, Tea Pots, and Coffee Pots
We, WILLIAM HENRY WOOD Junior, of the Firm of W Randle & Co,
of 117, Granville Street, in the City of Birmingham, Wrought Iron Hollow-ware
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM THOMAS SCRIVENS, of 94, Branston Street, in the
City of Birmingham, aforesaid, Iron Plate Worker, 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 consists of the hereindescribed improvements in fixing the spouts
to domestic boiler fillers, watering cans, toilet cans, tea pots and coffee pots so as
to make a reliable joint without the use of rivets, soldering or brazıng

page_text: We will describe this invention by referring to the accompanying drawing on
which Figs 1 and 2 are sectional elevations of the two parts of a spout made in
accordance with this invention for a domestic boiler filler Figs 3 and 4 shew
how the said parts have to be fixed together and Fig 5 shews how the said
spout is fixed to the body of the domestic boiler fillet in accordance with this
invention
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures
In carrying out this invention the base of the spout A is flanged outwardly all
round at a' and the edge a² is turned for waid at about right angles to the flinge a¹
(see Fig 1) We provide an angle section ductile metal ring B (shewn separately
by Fig 2) which has one flange bl of the proper size to fit within the edge a² of
the spout A and against the flange a¹ of the same The ring B having been
placed in this position within the edge a², as shewn in Fig 3, the said edge a³ is
closed round the flange a' thus securing the ring B to the spout A as shewn in
The other flange b¹
Fig 4 and making the flange a¹ of three thicknesses of metal
of this angle section ring B forms a short continuation of the spout A and is
passed through the spout hole in the body C of the boiler filler from the outside
and is hammered or otherwise closed down against the inside of the body C as
shewn in Fig 5 forming a flange inside the body between which, and the afore-
said outside flange a¹ on the base of the spout, the body C is firmly gupped, thus
effectually fixing the spout A and body C together
We form and fix the spouts of watering cans, toilet cans, tea pots and coffee pots
to the bodies of the same similarly as above desobed with reference to the spout
of a domestic boiler filler
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim 16
-
1 The combination with the sheet metal spout of a domestic boiler filler
watering can toilet can tea pot or coffee pot, of an angle section ductile metal
ring fixed to the base of said spout by the said base being flanged outwardly and
closed round one flange of said ng substantially as hereindescribed and shewn
by Fig 4 for the purpose of fixing said spout to the body of the domestic boiler
filler or other said sheet metal vessel in the manner set forth
2 The improved method of fixing the sheet metal spout to the body of a domestic
boiler filler watering can toilet can tea pot or coffee pot, by means of an angle
section ductile metal ring one flange of which is gripped by and fixed to the base
of the spout by the latter being flanged outwardly and closed round one flange of
said ring, and the other flange of the ring is thic aded through the spout hole of
the body and closed against the inside of the same, all substantially as herein-
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing
