COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Combined Jug or Can or similar Receptacle and
Strainer.
I, FREDERICK PALLISER, 3, Derby Street, Preston, in the County of Lancaster,
Hotel Bar Fitter, 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 has reference to a new or improved combined jug or can or
similar receptacle (for containing liquids) and strainer, the construction of which
will be understood from the following further description in reference to the
accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 represents a central vertical section of a combined jug or can and
strainer.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section on the line X X of Fig. 1, and Figure 3 is a
perspective view with the spout partly broken away to expose the strainer.
Like letters of reference indicate similar parts in each of the figures.
A represents the body of the can or jug which by preference is constructed
of metal.
B is the spout which is continued down the front of the can and the latter for
the length of the spout is cut away so that the spout opens into and communi-
cates with the interior of the can.
The metal on each side of the opening in the body of the can or jug is bent
backwards and then forwards so as to form a guide-way A' in which may be
inserted a movable strainer or slide C which when placed in the position shown
in the drawings will fill up the opening between the jug and its spout and act
as a straining or filtering medium to the contents of the can.
The movable strainer C is cut away or provided with a through opening for
the greater part of its length and over the opening a finely reticulated or wire
gauze material C¹ is soldered or otherwise secured.
The upper part of the slide C is formed with a bead or rib C adapted to rest
on the upper part or edge of the can when inserted in its operative position.
I also provide a movable top in connection with my improved can to prevent
the contents of the latter spilling over the top when the can is suddenly tilted
or jerked and which movable top also acts as a locking device for the slide
if the latter should become too easily movable in its guideway during wear.
D represents the movable top, which in the form shown is segmental and
pivotally attached to the upper edge of the can so that it can be moved to and
fro when desired as indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 1.
Two wire eyes D¹ are soldered one each side on the inner surface of the can and
into these the hooked ends D2 of the wire passing around the rim D³ of the cover
are located so as to form a centre on which the cover can be moved.
The front edge of the cover is slightly curved as shown at D so that it can
be pressed over the edge of the upper front part of the jug as shown in Figures 1
and 3 in which position it will prevent the contents of the can spilling over
when the latter is tilted too much or suddenly jerked.

page_text: In this position the cover also fits over the upper part of the slide strainer
and locks it in position.
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. The combination with a can or similar receptacle of a strainer interposed
between the interior of the latter and the spout for the purpose described.
2. The combination with a can or similar receptacle of a movable strainer
substantially as described.
3. The combination with a can or similar receptacle of a movable cover for
same substantially as described.
4. The combination with a can of a movable strainer interposed between the
latter and the spout and a movable cover arranged to lock the strainer in position
substantially as described.
5. The improved combined can and strainer substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
