page_text: for Straining the Liquid Discharged therefrom.
We, SAMUEL WORRALL, of Imperial Works, Holly Street, Sheffield, Manufacturer,
and JAMES KENDAL, of 106, Cheapside, London, Watchmaker, do hereby declare
the nature of the said 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 relates to improved means applicable to tea pots, coffee pots, tea
coffee and cocoa urns, and like liquid receptacles or containers for straining the
liquid discharged therefrom.
The Invention consists essentially in the application to the inlet end of the
spout or other outlet of the pot, urn, or other liquid receptacle or container, of a
removable straining device of the improved formation and substantially in the
manner hereinafter described; the parts being so formed and applied as to prevent
any sediment or dirt from obtaining access to or collecting in or choking up the
spout or outlet when the contents of the container are being poured out, and as to
allow of the straining device being readily applied to and removed from position
and as readily replaced by a new strainer if necessary, and as to permit of the
spout or outlet being readily cleansed by means of an ordinary tube cleaning
device passed through it, to ensure perfect cleanliness at all times.
One modification of the Invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings
in the sectional elevation Fig. 1, as applied to a teapot. Fig. 2, represents a side
view of the straining device, and Fig. 3, a front view thereof.
The improved straining device is made of a closed formation excepting at the
outlet, 1, therefrom, the whole or nearly the whole of its remaining surface being
composed of fine wire gauze or other suitable straining material, 2.
In the modification illustrated, the straining surface is let into and soldered to
or secured by metal rings, 3, which form a light but sufficiently strong frame
permitting of the device being readily taken hold of for being placed in or removed
from position as required; its outlet, 1, being preferably made of a tubular
formation and adapted with an external screw thread, 4, or with projecting pins, 5,
or being otherwise equivalently formed to permit of the ready application of the
device to the inlet end, 6, of the spout or outlet, 7, and to which latter at its said

page_text: inlet end, 6, is soldered or otherwise suitably adapted a correspondingly screwed,
slotted, or otherwise equivalently formed tubular socket, 8, preferably in such a
manner as to incline towards the bottom of the pot or other container, 9.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim, is;-
1. The application to the inlet end of the spout or other outlet of a pot urn or
other liquid container or receptacle, of a removable straining device of the improved
formation and substantially in the manner herein before described.
2. The herein before described improved construction of straining device, the
same consisting in making the device of a closed formation of suitable straining
material excepting at its outlet, and in providing it with suitable means for
permitting of its being readily taken hold of for the purposes mentioned, and
with suitable means for adapting its outlet to the said inlet end of the spout or
other outlet of the liquid receptacle or container to which it is applied when
provided as described, all substantially as described.
