I, EDWARD PEEL of 283 Stretford Road, Manchester in the county of Lancaster
Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
STEAM BRONCHITIS KETTLES 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 improvements in the formation of steam bronchitis
kettles, whereby the said bronchitis kettles, when not required to be used as such
may be converted for use as ordinary kettles or pans.
In the construction of steam bronchitis kettles, according to my invention,
I employ a hollow metal pan or kettle of any convenient shape such as are used
either for domestic purposes or of other form that may be preferred: On the upper
edge or rim of the pan I form a flange or a groove to fit into or receive corresponding
parts formed on the inner edge of rim of lid or cover. I attach the lid firmly to the
pan or kettle by wedge shaped flanges attached to and projecting from the edge of..
lid or cover: These flanges pass under clips attached to sides of pan and thus
secure the cover to the pan or kettle: In the centre or other convenient part of
the cover I insert a tube or pipe through which to allow the steam to pass and
enter the apartment: In order to supply water to the pan without removing the
cover I insert a tube or pipe in the lid, the inner or lower end of said tube
extending nearly to the bottom of the pan and the upper part terminating in a
funnel shaped end outside the cover, through which to fill or supply water to
the pan.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now describe the
accompanying sheet of drawings: In the several views illustrated therein similar
letters refer to similar parts.
Fig. 1 represents plan, Fig. 2 side view Fig. 3 vertical section of Fig. 2 and
Fig. 4 front view of steam bronchitis kettle: In the above views a is the pan or
kettle, b the lid or cover c grooved and flanged edges of pan and cover, fitting into
each other thus preventing escape of steam from joint between pan and cover.
d wedged shaped flanges formed on or attached to lid: these flanges pass under
clipse by which means the lid is secured to the pan: g is a tube or pipe for
conveying steam into an apartment, is secured to pan lid by nut h: g¹ is extra
pipe with any additional length that may be required, and may be formed with flat
end as g². the pipe or tube for supplying water to the pan baving a funnel
shaped end which being screwed from outside into pipe 7 on the inside of cover
secures the said pipe in position: The pipe extends nearly to the bottom of the
pan internally, so that water is always above the lower end and thus prevents
the escape of steam through the opening in cover, while allowing free access to
replenish the pan with water when required.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrating my invention I have
shown only one form or shape of pan, a, but the same arrangement of parts applies

page_text: equally to all classes and descriptions of hollow ware: When the pan is not required
for use as a bronchitis kettle the several parts 1, and 'g may be removed and an
ordinary handle attached by the screws q.
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
pan
A steam bronchitis kettle, the body of which is formed of a hollow metallic
or kettle, either of the shape as ordinarily used for domestic purposes, or other
form that may be preferred, and constructed with a steam tight lid, into which is
inserted a pipe or tube for supplying the pan with water, without removing the
cover and allowing the escape of steam also a pipe or tube through which to
supply steam to any apartment required, substantially in the manner and for the
purpose as herein before described and illustrated.
