PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in and relating to Plumbers' and like Pots..
I, JOSEPH HUSSEY, of "Mont Dore," Haverstock Road, Knowle, Bristol, in
the County of Gloucester, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Plumbers' pots are commonly heated over a coal or coke fire contained in a
cylinder of iron, or in a fire-basket. Lamps which give out a great heat are
generally available, and could be applied with great advantage to the same
purpose.
This invention has for its object to provide means for supporting such pots so
that the lamp frame may be easily and convenient applied to their under sides;
being easily removable, the pots may, when desired, be placed upon a fire in the
common manner.
⋅
It consists of a pot, the bottom of which is either formed integral with a rim,
which has three or more socket holes for the reception of legs; or with three or
more short studs which may be socketed or fit the socketed end of legs. These
legs serve to support the pot, and the space between them admits of the lamp
being placed therein, or in contiguity thereto, so that the flame can play upon the
bottom and sides' of the pot.
The legs of either shaped pot can easily be removed, when required to be heated
over an ordinary coal or coke fire.
In some cases existing pots have studs attached to them which serve to keep the
pot upright; in such cases I form the legs with socketed upper ends which fit
over such studs and are easily removed therefrom.
Dated this 20th day of February 1897.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-

In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I have annexed a
drawing in which is shewn an elevation of a simple form of melting pot, constructed
according to my invention.
A is the melting pot, and B is a rim
from, the bottom of the same. C are legs
formed in the under side of the rim B;
the ground.
.
formed integrally with, and projecting
the upper ends of which fit into sockets
the lower ends of the legs C rest upon
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) In a melting pot, the combination of three legs to uphold same, with a
rim B formed integrally with the pot A, the said rim being adapted to receive
the upper ends of the legs C substantially as shewn and described.
(2) The improved melting pot substantially as shewn and described.
(3) A melting pot A provided with a rim B, formed integrally therewith,
substantially as shewn and described.
