Improvements in the Method of and in Appliances for Insulating
the Handles of Tea and Coffee Pots, Kettles, Urns, Hot Water
Jugs, and the like, to Prevent the Communication of Heat from
such Articles to their Handles
I JOHN HENRY GODWIN, Commercial Traveller and Agent, of 3, Mornington
Road, Bow, in the city of London and county of Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF, AND IN
APPLIANCES FOR INSULATING THE HANDLES OF TEA, AND COFFEE POTS, KETTLES, URNS,
HOT WATER JUGS, AND THE LIKE, TO PREVENT THE COMMUNICATION OF HEAT FROM SUCH
ARTICLES TO THEIR HANDLES to be as follows
"
-
The object of this invention is to prevent the communication of heat from the liquid
contained in the articles herein referred to, to their handles by a more thorough and
efficient method of isolation than hitherto
With this view I insert a non conducting disc made either wholly or partly of wood,
metal, bone, ivory, or some equivalent material at the upper and lower ends of the
handle
Fixed in and passing through the centre of this disc is a pin of the same substance
having a right handed screw on one of its ends and a left handed one on the other,
these screws engage in the screw threads made in metal sockets which latter are
inserted or sunk in the ends of the handle at or near their points of junction with the
body of the article
Four sockets of a similar description are employed two at the upper part, and two
at the lower part of the handle
In connecting the handle to the article the screws are inserted in the sockets at the
top and bottom and by turning the discs the handle is brought close up and forms a
perfect joint with the parts on the body of the article
By this method of isolating the handle it is kept perfectly cool, the wooden or
other discs and their wooden or other screws forming absolute non conductors so
that the communication of heat from the contents of the article are rendered
practically nıl

page_text: These non conducting discs with their right and left handed screws and sockets
are equally applicable to articles of the description referred to whether composed
wholly or partly of metal, or of earthenware, china, glass, or other substance

Improvements in the Method of and in Appliances for Insulating
the Handles of Tea and Coffee-pots, Kettles, Urns, Hot-water 1
Jugs, and the like, to Prevent the Communication of Heat from
such Articles to their Handles
I JOHN HENRY GODWIN, Commercial Traveller and Agent of 3 Mornington Road
Bow, in the city of London, and county of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE METHOD OF, AND IN APPLIANCES FOR,
INSULATING THE HANDLES OF TEA AND COFFEF-POTS, KETTLES, URNS, HOT-WATER JUGS,
AND THE LIKE, TO PREVENT THE COMMUNICATION OF HEAT FROM SUCH ARTICLES, TO
THEIR HANDLES, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described, and ascertained, in and by, the following statement
The object of this invention is to more thoroughly, and efficiently, insulate the
handles from the bodies of the articles, herein enumerated, so that the heat of the
liquid therein contained, is completely isolated from the handle
As an example I have illustrated by Fig 1 a tea-pot shown as provided with
my nonconducting, and heat insulating discs, and sockets, one of which is shown
separately by Figs 23 the same letters of reference indicate like parts in the
respective figures My improved non-conductor consists of a disc a wholly, or
partly constructed of wood, pearl, bone, ivory, horn, or some other suitable material
Turned in a piece with it, is a shaft 6 screw threaded, the threads being right and
left handed, above and below the disc These threads engage with similar threads,
in the metal or other sockets c c these latter are sunk in the parts d of the
handles fixed to the body of the article, and to the handle proper ee and are
there fixed by soldering, cementing, or by any other suitable method of connection
Four of these sockets c c are employed, two are placed in the ends d of the
handle fixed to the body, and two others are inserted in the ends e of the handle
proper

page_text: In connecting the handle to the body, the ends of the screws are first introduced
into the parts d and e the discs a are then turned, till the parts d and e are
brought close up, and are firmly secured, forming a perfect joint
By this method of isolating the handle, it is kept perfectly cool, the wooden or
other discs with their wooden or other screws forming absolute nonconductors, so
that the communication of heat from the contents of the article, are rendered
practically nil
These nonconducting discs, with their right and left handed screws, and sockets,
are equally applicable to articles whether composed wholly, or partly of metal, or
of earthenware, china, glass or other substance
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 -
The nonconducting discs a of wood or other nonconducting material with right
and left handed screws b above and below the discs screwing into the metal or other
sockets c sunk in the ends e e and d. d on the body of the article, as and for,
the purposes herein set forth
