Complete Specification Left, 3rd Mar., 1894-Accepted, 7th Apr., 1894
I, FREDERICK ALFRED SLATER of Rosebank Road, St. Stephen's Road Bow,
London E. Organ Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:
This invention relates to an improved mustard pot intended to provide an
arrangement which will obviate the necessity of using spoons in supplying the
mustard to the plate. The pot is of cylindrical form and furnished with a
removable top, screwed or otherwise fixed in place. In the cylinder is placed a
piston fitting it closely, having a rod passing through the top and furnished with
a finger piece. From the lower end of the pot a spout projects upwards for a
suitably distance provided with a small hinged lid to prevent the air reaching the
mustard and drying it. When mustard is to be supplied the pot is held at an angle,
the end of spout being over the edge of the plates, and the top of the piston rod.
is pressed, forcing a small quantity of mustard out on to the plate.

An Improved Mustard Pot.
1, FREDERICK ALFRED SLATER of Rosebank Road St. Stephen's Road Bow
London E. Organ Builder 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 relates to an improved mustard pot intended to provide an
arrangement which will obviate the necessity of using spoons in supplying the
mustard to the plate. The pot is of cylindrical form and furnished with a
removable top, screwed or otherwise fixed in place.
In the cylinder is placed a piston fitting it closely, having a rod passing through
the top by which it is operated. From the lower end of the pot a spout projects
upwards for a suitable distance, provided with a small hinged lid to prevent the air.
reaching the mustard and drying it.
When mustard is to be supplied the pot is held at an angle, the end of the spout
being over the edge of the plate, and the top of the piston rod is pressed, forcing a
small quantity of mustard out on to the plate.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing which is a vertical section of the improved mustard
pot.
A is the body of the pot of cylindrical or other form having the spout B
projecting from the lower end at one side.
The cover C is removable for purposes of cleansing and supply of fresh mustard
and is furnished with a central hole c through which the rod D passes having at its
end the piston or plunger d closely fitting the pot. The piston rod is made of
tubular form and a second rod D' is placed in the tube fitting it closely, the rod I'
being furnished with a head for operating it. This arrangement allows the air to

central rod preventing any escape of the mustard through the tube when it is fitted
in place. On depressing the piston, the mustard will be forced through the
aperture up the spout B the aperture 6 being preferably small in proportion to
the size of the spout, in order to prevent the mustard coming out too rapidly.
b
On the end of the spout is fitted the cap or lid 6 which when the pot is tilted
will open, but will close on returning it to the ordinary position preventing the air
from drying the mustard in the spout.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A mustard pot having a spout extending upwards from the bottom, a
perforated lid, and a piston operated by means of a rod passing through the lid
substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
2. A mustard pot having a perforated lid a piston operated by a rod passing
through the lid and a spout extending upwards from the lower end of the pot,.with.
a hinged cover substantially as described and shown and for the purposes specified.
