PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mustard Pot.
I, GEORGE HERBERT ELLIS, of Lansdowne Grove, Neasden, in the County of
Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
I provide a cylindrical receptacle for mustard in which the latter can be mixed to
a proper consistency ready for use. I then provide a suitable stem, having at the
bottom a cork or other plug or plunger to fit the cylinder in which the mustard is
contained and which terminates at the top with a hollow cup. There is a small hole
or channel through the centre of this stem; and the mode of discharging mustard
from the pot is to press down the stem, when the mustard is forced upward through
the central hole into the cup at the top, whence it can be poured or dropped out
upon a plate, or removed by a spoon or the point of a knife. The stem has a hollow
or recess for the thumb and finger to rest in when pressing it down. The cylinder
may be provided with a cap or lid at the top.
The advantages of this contrivance are that mixed mustard, being excluded from
the air, can be kept fresh for a considerable time, and it can be delivered for
use in a cleanly manner without waste.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Mustard Pot.
I, GEORGE HERBERT ELLIS, of Heathfield, Lansdowne Grove, Neasden, in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved mustard pot.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a vertical section of an alternate design.
Fig. 2, is an elevation.
Fig. 3, is half in elevation and half in vertical section of the mustard pot.
Fig. 4, is a plan on line A B.
Fig. 5, is a plan on line C D.
I provide a cylindrical receptacle e as in Figs. 3, and 5, for mustard to be placed
in the interior h in which the said mustard can be mixed to a proper consistency
ready for use. I then provide a suitable tubular container i having at the bottom
a cork plunger k or other plug or plunger to fit the cylinder in which the mustard
is contained and which terminates at the top with or without a lid. There is a
small hole or channel c through the centre of the plunger k, and the mode of
discharging mustard from the pot is to press down the tubular container i when the
mustard is forced upward through the central hole or channel c into the cupj;
whence it can be removed by a spoon.
If preferable I may construct my invention as in Figs. 1, and 2, having a tubular
stem d with a container or cup a and the cork plunger finserted on a screw g at the
base of the tubular container h.
The stem d has a hollow or recess 6 for the thumb and finger to rest in when

page_text: pressing it down so that the mustard may ascend through the channel c. The
cylinder may be provided with a cap or lid at the top.
The advantages of these contrivances are that mixed mustard being excluded
from the air can be kept fresh for a considerable time, and it can be delivered for
use in a cleanly manner without waste.
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. In a mustard pot, the combination of the cup a hollow or recess 6 hole or
channel c in the stem d with the screw 9 and the cork plunger finserted into the
interior of the cylindrical receptacle e, substantially as herein described and
according to Figs. 1, 2, and 4, of the accompanying drawing.
2. In a mustard pot, the combination of the tubular container i cup j cork
plunger k and channel c inserted into the interior h of the cylindrical receptacle e,
substantially as herein described and according to Figs. 3, and 5, of the accom-
panying drawing.
3. In a mustard pot, the method of obtaining supplies of fresh mustard within
the cup a or vessel by direct pressure upon such cup or vessel, acting telescopically
within the lower cup or vessel h which contains the store of mustard excluded from
the air, substantially as herein described and for the purpose specified.
