PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Kettle. .
I, WILLIAM EDWARD ELLIS, 46 Wolseley Road Upton, Essex Stationer's Assistant
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An upright kettle, with lid handle & spout, the kettle is surrounded by a circular,
hollow flange, constructed to be used with kitcheners.
The flange is loose & suspended from the top of the kettle.
The flange allows the kettle to slide through it to the surface of the fire.
By this arrangement the flat bottom of the kettle, will rest directly upon the fire,
whether the fire be high or low.
The flange acts as a hot air box & conveys heat to the higher parts of the kettle,
those parts which are above the level of the flat upper surface of the kitchener.
The kettle for convenience in refilling can be detached from the flange by unhooking
the suspenders.
It can be made of tin, iron, or other metals.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Kettle.
WILLIAM EDWARD ELLIS 46 Wolseley Road Upton, Essex, Stationer'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:-
An upright kettle, surrounded by a loose flange "A," the kettle being made with a
projecting ridge B, or other suitable device near the top to prevent the flange passing
the spout & a similar arrangement near the bottom, B, to prevent the flange slipping
off & becoming lost.
The flange allows the body of the kettle to slide through it and the fire box until
the surface of the fire is reached by the bottom of the kettle, which causes the water
or other liquid it contains to hoil rapidly.
The flange may be suspended from the top of the kettle by means of chains or other
suitable device such as spiral springs, which would allow the kettle to rise as the water
or other liquid it contained evaporated.
The flange also conducts heat to those parts of the kettle which are above the
surface of the kitchener or heating apparatus, and may be made, round, square, oval,
flat, shallow or deep, or any shape, which is best adapted to the kitcheners or heating
apparatus to which it is applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A kettle with a loose flange, which when the kettle is placed on a kitchener,
stove or other place used for heating purposes the flange rests at the top and allows
the kettle to pass through to the fire, gas or other heating matter below &c.
2. A kettle with a loose flange which may be suspended from the kettle by means of
a chain or other suitable device, such as spiral springs, which would bring the kettle
away from the fire as the water evaporated and the kettle became lighter.
3. A kettle with a loose flange, the kettle being made with a projecting ridge or
ID 37

page_text: other suitable device, near the top to prevent the flanger passing the spout & a similar
arrangement near the bottom to prevent the flange,slipping off & becoming lost, this
not necessitating connecting devices, the flange being held in place near the kettle
by the ridges, in being placed between the same.
Dated this day of October the 23rd 1890.**
