PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pots or Receptacles for Holding Mustard Mixed
Ready for Use, or other similar Foods or Substances.
I, PHILIPP HEINRICH SPIESS of 7 Promenade Baden Baden in the Grand-
Duchy of Baden, Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a mustard pot or receptacle for
private and public use, from which any desired quantity of its contents may be
removed in the most convenient manner, without necessitating any opening of the
lid of the same, and in which when not in use the exit orifice may be hermetically
closed in such a way that impurities of any sort cannot find their way into the
mustard, and thus any drying up of the latter is avoided.
My new mustard pot or receptacle is composed of a vessel hermetically closed by
means of a cover. An adjustable tube is passed through the latter, which carries
at the one end which enters into the vessel a closing piston preferably constructed
of cork, whilst the other end contains a slight spring stopper which closes the
exit opening.
If the pot or receptacle be filled and the tube together with its
piston be pressed slightly downwards, the mustard passes through the same, pressing
aside the slight spring stopper and through the exit orifice out of the pot. If the
pressure on the piston cease, the mustard in the tube runs back a little and the
stopper again closes automatically the sole opening of the mustard pot.
According to the sectional form of the exit orifice, the mustard may be poured
from the closed pot in ribbon like, flat or circular layers.
Porcelain or earthenware is to be recommended for reasons of cleanliness as the
most suitable material for making the pot, the cover and the tube, cork for the
piston and aluminium for the valve but of course any other material which will not
be attacked by the mustard may be employed therefor.
My pot may also be used with advantage for other thick fluid food substances
such as preserves and the like.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pots or Receptacles for Holding Mustard Mixed
Ready for Use, or other similar Foods or Substances.
I, PHILIPP HEINRICH SPIESS of 7 Promenade, Baden Baden, in the Grand
Duchy of Baden, Germany, 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 :-
This invention has for its object to provide a mustard pot or receptacle for
private and public use, from which any desired quantity of its contents may be
removed in the most convenient manner, without necessitating any special opening
of the lid of the same, and one in which when not in use the exit orifice may be
hermetically closed in such a way that no impurities at all can find their way into
the mustard, and thus any drying up of the latter is avoided.
On the accompanying drawing my new mustard pot is shown in Figures 1 and 2
in vertical section and vertical elevation respectively.
My new mustard pot or receptacle is composed of a vessel A hermetically closed
FD71

page_text: by means of a cover B. An adjustable tube C is passed through the latter, and
this tube carries at the one end which enters the vessel A, a tightly fitting
piston D preferably constructed of cork, whilst the other end at c contains a slight
spring flap or stopper f which closes the exit opening. If the pot or receptacle be
filled and the tube C together with its piston D be pressed slightly downwards, the
mustard passes through the same, pressing aside the slight spring flap or stopper f
and through the exit orifice c out of the pot. If the pressure on the piston D cease,
the mustard in the tube C runs back a little and the stopper fagain automatically
closes the sole opening of the mustard pot.
According to the sectional form or shape of the exit orifice c the mustard may
be poured from the closed pot in ribbon like, flat or circular layers.
Porcelain or earthenware is to be recommended for reasons of cleanliness as the
most suitable material for making the pot, the cover and the tube, cork for the
piston D and aluminium for the valve, but of course any other material which
will not be attacked by the mustard may be employed therefor.
My pot may also be used with advantage for other thick fluid food substances
such as preserves and the like.
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 improvements in pots or receptacles of the kind described which consist in
placing in such pots or receptacles a closely fitting movable piston D, and
connecting the same with a hollow piston rod C, through which, when pressure is
applied to the piston, the contents of the pot or receptacle is expelled, and the exit
orifice c is closed again, immediately the pressure on the piston ceases, by means of
a spring flap for its equivalent.
