A Novel Construction of Liquid Bottle or Vessel, with Appliances as
part of same to Facilitate Warming the Contents.
I, ALFRED JOHN WIER, of 2 Brougham Road, Broadway, London Fields,
County of London, Tin-plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel construction of liquid bottle or vessel with
appliances as part of same to facilitate warming the contents.
The invention will be of value to workmen, to tourists, railway and steamboat
travellers, and others, also to troops on the march because it enables a warm cup
of tea, coffee, water, or other liquid to be obtained without interfering with other
pursuits, or duties.
For the purpose of this invention, I make a bottle, flask, or like vessel with a
pour out neck near the side or end, and I fit say two tubes at or about the central
part, said tubes being open ended.
The lower part of these tubes are within a chamber in which is a hinged box
containing a sponge or fabric saturated with benzine, or other volatile spirit, or an
oil, which when lighted will impart heat to the contents of the vessel.
I prefer a volatile spirit and a sponge because it can be kept enclosed when not
alight by a sliding cover.

ALFRED JOHN WIER of No. 2 Brougham Road Broadway London Fields
Tin-plate Worker 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 a novel construction of liquid bottle or vessel with
appliances as part of same to facilitate warming the contents.
The invention will be of value to workmen to tourists railway and steamboat
travellers and others and also to troops on the march because it enables a warm cup
of tea coffee water or other liquids to be obtained without interfereing with other
pursuits or duties.
For the purpose of this invention I make a bottle flask or like vessel with a
pour out neck near the side or end and I fit say two tubes at or about the centre
part the said tubes being open ended the lower part of these tubes are within a
chamber in which is a hinged box containing a sponge or fabric saturated with
benzine or other volatile spirit or an oil which when lighted will impart heat to the
contents of the vessel.

page_text: I prefer a volatile spirit and a sponge because it can be kept enclosed when not
alight by a sliding cover.
My improved bottle or warmer I propose to make of sheet metal and the various
parts may be stamped or worked up by hand and soldered or affixed together
in the usual way. The contour on one side may preferably be convex and the
other side concave or it may in some instances be of circular ogtagonal square
or other suitable form. A box reservoir or receptacle for holding the spirit
I propose to affix on to the door of fire or heating chamber and such receptacle
may be hung or held in position by a hook or other suitable fastening or it may
be soldered on to inner side of door and thus my apparatus as shewn in drawings
at Fig. 1 becomes a self contained and independent warmer or heater without any
loose parts.
A. Fig. 1 shews elevation with fire door open having spirit reservoir B affixed
to same. C shews opening into which B swings. Two Hues D are soldered or
affixed through from top to bottom of warmer for the purpose of carrying off
the vitiated burnt air. Openings or holes E are made near the bottom for the
purpose of supplying air to burner F Fig. 2 shews loose cover which slides into
grooves or rebates on top of spirit reservoir.
In some instances the flues D instead of coming through top may be shouldered
or bent at an angle as shewn at D Fig. 5 so that the outlets will then be at the
back and the body of A is increased in length to about the height of top of
inlet G Fig. 3 and a bead H is made to fit and thus secure drinking cup I Fig. 4 in
its proper position.
I would have it understood that I do not limit myself to the exact description or
drawings as herein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
The simple method of making a improved self contained warmer or heating can
having spirit lamp affixed for the purpose of heating or warming beverages or other
liquids and the component parts as arranged and substantially herein set forth.
Dated this Tenth day of June 1895.
