Improvements in Containers for Tea and the like, and Means for
Heating the Contents thereof when required.
I, JOHN NEWALL, of 51, Crosfield Road, Edge Hill, Liverpool, Grocer and
Provision Dealer's Assistant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;
-
This invention for improvements in containers for tea and the like, and means
for heating the contents thereof when required has for its object to provide an
arrangement whereby tea and other liquids can be readily carried and heated when
required or water can be heated for making fresh tea and is more especially for
use by workmen and labourers by whom hot water is not readily obtainable.
According to this invention, a receptacle of suitable shape, and preferably made
of tin or enamelled iron or the like is provided with a handle for carrying it and
with a lid formed rather deep so that it will act as a cup when required. Below
the receptacle a small oil reservoir provided with a burner is fitted so that when
alight the water or liquid within the receptacle is heated. An outer casing is
provided around the flame and suitable perforations are formed for the admission
of air.
It will thus be seen that a ready means is provided for heating cold tea or heating
water for making fresh tea or other liquid.

I, JOHN NEWALL, of 51, Crosfield Road, Edge Hill, Liverpool, Grocer and
Provision Dealer's Assistant, 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 for improvements in containers for tea and the like, and means
for heating the contents thereof when required, has for its object to provide an
arrangement whereby tea and other liquids can be readily carried and heated when
required, or water can be heated for making fresh tea, and is more especially for
use by workmen and labourers by whom hot water is not readily obtainable.

page_text: In order that this invention may be more clearly described, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing which shows in section a container constructed accord-
ing to this invention.
The receptacle A can be filled with cold tea or water to be heated. The lid B
serves to close the receptacle A and is of sufficient depth that it can be used as a
cup when required.
The handle C provides a means for carrying the arrangement about. Below the
receptacle A an oil reservoir D is placed fitted with a burner d.
The surrounding casing E is perforated at e to allow of access of air to the
flame. The portion e' is unperforated in order to prevent the flame passing outside
with consequent waste of heat.
In use the cold tea or water is placed in the receptacle A and the wick in the
burner d is lighted. The water or tea is soon heated and the lid B can be used
as a cup.
The arrangement is preferably made of tinned or enamelled iron although other
suitable material may be employed.
It will thus be seen that a ready means is provided for heating cold tea or heating
water for making fresh tea or other liquids.
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). An improved liquid container and heater for workmen and others, comprising
a water receptacle, a lid therefor adapted for use as a cup, an oil reservoir and
burner arranged below the water receptacle whereby the contents thereof can be
heated and a handle whereby the whole can be carried about substantially as
described.
(2) An improved liquid container and heater for workmen and others comprising
water receptacle A, lid B, oil reservoir D, burner d, surrounding casing E per-
forated at è and handle C all arranged substantially as described with reference to
the accompanying drawing and for the purposes specified.
