PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A. New and Improved Combined Food Warmer and Night Light.
WILLIAM HARRISON, 35, Harrow Road, London, W., Sheep Farmer, Argentina,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements in this food warmer are to prevent the vessel which con-
tains food coming in contact with the water, which it is heated by, or
the evaporation of steam from same, which in the present case drips from
vessel when taken out for use. The food warmer is supported by three legs
affixed from a base onto body of warmer, the body contains an inner casing, which
is about half inch smaller in diameter & about 1½ inches less in height thus
leaving a space for the circulation of steam, which is generated from the water
which is poured in through a tube affixed to the outside body, the top of the tube
acts as a gauge for the level of water as it should not touch bottom of inner casing
thus allowing the steam to circulate all round. A safety valve is fitted to out-
side body in case of too much steam being generated. The water is heated by
a lamp screwed or fastened in a suitable manner to the base. The lamp acts as
the night light. The lamp is constructed with a tube from burner which extends
to nearly the bottom of lamp, the wick passing through this tube, so that in
the event of warmer falling over no oil can escape. The pannakin which is to
It
contain the food is constructed to fit closely in inner casing of food warmer.
can be made of enamelled iron or other suitable material & in any suitable
shape, the other part of warmer can also be made of any suitable material.

A is a hollow vessel with inner casing N supported by three legs attached to
base E. Affixed to outside of vessel is a tube C for the purpose of pouring in
water, and which acts as a gauge for the level of the water. D is a safety valve
for the escape of excess steam. 13 is the food container fitting, into, vessel A.
The base E is made hollow with outlet F for the purpose of withdrawing any
water or oil that may have entered. The centre. of the base K allows lamp G
to be screwed in. At M ridges are carried round so that reflector H can be moved.
round without the necessity of turning the whole apparatus.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. A new and improved food warmer and night light, substantially as described.
