I, ALBERT MÖHRLING, of No. 1, Lohmarkt, Nordhausen, Germany, Merchant,
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 mustard pot to which the present invention refers is shown in the annexed
drawing in Fig. 1, in vertical section, and in Fig. 2 in cross section through the
line A-B. Fig. 3 is a detail.
The novelty of this mustard pot lies in the fact that a piston b presses against
the mustard a and delivers more or less mustard through the tubular outlet d of
the mustard pot, according to whether more or less pressure is exerted on the
piston or rather the piston red c.
The mustard pot consists of an outer vessel f made in three parts, of metal or
some other suitable material, with a lid f¹, and a stand f. This vessel bas
inserted to it a cylindrical inner vessel g, preferably made of glass or china and
which is to contain the mustard a, and is provided with the tubular outlet d
already referred to.
This inner vessel 9 receives the piston b which presses on the mustard a and
is fixed firmly, but easily removable, in a cylindrical socket turned at the bottom
of the outer vessel f. At its upper part the inner vessel g is held fast by spring
clips h arranged in the interior of the outer vessel f and which lodge against a
shoulder q, arranged all round the upper margin of the inner vessel g.
piston rode is provided with a longitudinal slot c¹, in which a cross pin i, fixed
in the neck of the cover of the outer vessel, is loosely carried, so as to prevent
the piston from turning. k is a stop pin arranged on the piston rod c¹.
The
On raising the cover fl of the outer vessel and pulling out the piston 6 from
the inner vessel g the latter can be refilled with mustard. If the inner vessel
requires cleaning it is taken out of the outer vessel f after having removed the
piston 6 and the cover f¹, of the outer vessel and forces the spring clips h outward.
The tubular outlet or spout d of the inner vessel lodges, as shown in Fig. 1, in a
suitably shaped recess, projecting out of the outer vesself and partly from its
cover f, through this recess z.
In order to be able to fix this mustard pot in any cruet stand, without using
the stand or base f, the outer vessel f has at its bottom a conical projection f³, of
suitable length and diameter. As Fig. 1 shows the outer vessel f is firmly fixed
by means of this projection f³, in the base or stand f².
The arrangement may also be such as to make the outer vessel itself of glass,
porcelain, or the like and of cylindrical shape in the interior so that the piston h
may act in the manner described on the mustard a introduced direct into the outer
vessel, the tubular outlet or spout d being arranged on the outer vessel f itself.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
A mustard pot which is provided with a piston bacting on the mustard a and
which is secured against rotation, and with a tubular outlet or spout d for the
purpose of being enabled to take from the pot the desired quantity of mustard
in a simple manner, and arranged so that the mustard pot can be used either
separately, fixed on a stand or base f³, or inserted in any cruet stand by means
of a conical projection f³, arranged on its bottom.
Dated this 25th day of April 1899.
