PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tea Kettles, Saucepans, Coffee Pots, Tea Pots,
and such like Vessels of Domestic Utility, and in the Lids or
Covers therefor.
I, MORTON WEST PONDER, of "Brookfield," Granville Road, Ilford, Tinware Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to render these vessels more durable-by attaching
to the opening in the top which receives the lid or cover a rim or socket of copper or
other non rustible material, so that the corrosion which so soon takes place at this
part in vessels made entirely of iron or tin plate may be avoided. The said rim or
socket is stamped out of the sheet metal and attached to the opening which is pro-
"double
vided in the iron or tin plate body by what is known in the trade as
seaming" " folding curling" or paning down of the respective portions to be joined
together, one within the other..

The non-corrosive metal may be so formed as to lie upon either the inner or outer
surface of the top tin plate or sheet iron top around the said opening provided for
the lid or cover, as well as forming the neck into which the said cover enters.
The improvement in the covers having the same object of increasing the durability
is by forming the rim, or portion which enters the neck, or opening in the body of
similar non-corrosive material, and so formed as to constitute the outer surface of the
flange, instead of the flange being made of iron or tin plate as hitherto.

Improvements in Tea Kettles, Saucepans, Coffee Pots, Tea Pots,
and such like Vessels of Domestic Utility, and in the Lids or
Covers therefor.
I, MORTON WEST PONDER, of "Brookfield," Granville Road, Ilford, Essex, Tin Ware
Manufacturer, 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:―
The object of this invention is to render these vessels more durable by attaching to
the opening in the top which receives the lid or cover, a rim or socket of copper or
other non-rustable material so that the corrosion which so soon takes place at this part
in vessels made entirely of iron or tin plate may be avoided.

The said rim or socket is stamped out of the sheet metal and attached to the
opening which is provided in the iron or tin plate body by what is known in the trade
as "double seaming" " folding" curling or paning down of the respective
portions to be joined together one within the other. The non-corrodable metal may
be so formed as to lie upon either the inner or outer surface of the tin plate or sheet
iron top, around the said opening provided for the lid or cover, as well as forming the
neck into which the said cover enters.
It will thus be seen that those portions of the vessels which made in the ordinary
manner so soon corrode and decay by the action of the steam and moisture, being
formed of or protected by the copper or non-rustible material I employ, the vessels
manufactured according to my invention are rendered much more durable.
In order that the method of carrying out my invention may be more readily
understood, attention is directed to the accompanying sheets of drawings which
illustrate my methods of attaching the non-corrodible portion to the iron or tin plate
body.
In Figures 1 & 2..
A shews in section the upper portion, or top of a tea kettle, or other similar vessel
with a flange al projecting around the opening.
B is the lining piece of non-corrodible metal having a corrresponding flange a²
running around it.
C shews these two portions in position ready for the operation of curling, or seaming
together.
D shews these two portions joined together after the operation of curling or seaming
has been performed.
In Figure 3.
A shews in section the upper portion, or top of a tea kettle or similar vessel with
the edge of the opening left plain at a¹.
B is the lining piece of non-corrodible metal having a downward projecting flange a²
running around it.
C shews these two portions in position ready for the operation of closing together.
D shews these two portions joined together after the operation of paning or wheeling
down has been performed.
In Figure 4.
A shews in section the ordinary stamped top of a tea kettle, or other similar vessel,
with beaded neck as usually employed.
B is the lining piece of non-corrodible metal corresponding in form to the neck or
beaded portion of the top. A; but with flange extending below the latter at a².
C shews these two portions in position ready for the operation of closing together.
D shews these two portions after the operation of curling, wheeling or paning down
has been performed.
Figure 5.
Shews a cover constructed according to my invention.
A is the iron or tin plate portion.
B is the non-corrodible rim.
C shews these two portions ready for joining together.
D shews the two portions attached together by wheeling, or paning down the edge
of the non-corrodible portion upon and around the iron or tin plate portion.
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:-
1. Lining the opening for the lid in tea kettles and similar vessels with a
non-corrodible metal lining substantially as described and set forth.
2. The methods employed for forming, attaching, and securing to the iron or tin
plate portion the non-corrodible lining of the cover opening in tea kettles aud similar
vessels.

page_text: 3. The methods of forming the rim of the cover for tea kettles, saucepans, and
other similar vessels of non-corrodible metal and the means employed of attaching
and securing the same to the iron or tin plate portion substantially as herein specified
and set forth.
