PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Combined, Chamber Utensil and Slop Pail.
I, FLORENCE ALEXANDER Householder S. Eanswyths Cranbrook in the County
of Kent do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A new and improved chamber utensil or pot with lid and toilet vase or pail
combined.
These pails are constructed so as to render them available as chamber utensils or
as slop vases.
The invention consists in causing the rim of the said pail to turn inwards F. F.
then upwards ending at the top with an ordinary inverted chamber rim A. A.
The whole to be covered with an air-tight detached china or ware cover which fits
over seat rim and rests on pail rim F. F.
The combination of covered chamber utensil and pedestal toilet pail are the
features of novelty the inventor desires to protect by Patent.
The pedestal chamber secures comfort to the user, and the lid and form render
the invention more hygenic and sightly than those at present in use whilst
also rendering unnecessary the unwholesome wooden poison-absorbing pedestal
cupboard.

covered with india-rubber for the same purpose.
In the drawing filed with the Provisional Specification the pail is shewn without

thereof.
