I FREDERICK THOMAS KENNING FIRMIN of 155 Radcliffe Street Oldham in
the County of Lancashire Commission Agent do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to prevent liquid from running down the outside
of vessels after pouring out such liquid as is now the case.

outside the vessel below the spout or aperture through which the liquid is poured
so as to catch any liquid that may run down the outside of the vessel and I also
propose to put sponge or other suitable material so as to absorb the liquid--or I
may have a piece of suitable material either round or partially round the said vessel
so as to absorb the liquid that runs down even without the aforesaid lip or lips.
