PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pot and Lid for Making Decoctions of Tea, Coffee, and
the like.
I, FRANZ RERRICH, of 12 Kronprinz-Gásse, Budapest, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a novel construction of pot and lid. The cover has, at
its lower end, a downwardly projecting strainer, or sieve of cylindrical, or other
shape.
The pot itself is provided with an inwardly projecting circular rim for the lower
edge of the strainer, or sieve to rest upon, a space being left between the outer
surface of the sieve and the inner wall of the pot, in which space the liquid
contained in the pot must first enter when pouring, after having passed through the
sieve.
For the purpose of this invention, the tea or coffee pot has a lid, or cover
provided with a sieve, or strainer, in such a manner that after the lid, or cover is
inserted in the pot, the liquid contained in the latter is strained when pouring out.
The lid has close to its lower edge a projecting circular flange to secure its proper
adjustment in the pot, which is provided inwardly and below the outlet with a
circular rim, upon which the lower edge of the lid rests, the flange may however be
dispensed with.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pot and Lid for Making Decoctions of Tea, Coffee, and
the like..
I FRANZ RERRICH of 12 Kronprinz-Gasse, Budapest, 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 object of this invention is a filtering tea or coffee pot in which the lid or cover
is provided with a sieve or strainer in such a manner that after the lid or cover is
inserted in the pot the liquid contained in the latter is strained while being
poured out through the sieve of the lid or cover and can reach the outlet of
the pot.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of
such a filtering pot. Figure 2, is an outer view of the cover furnished with a
sieve.
The lid a carries on its under surface a cylindrical sieve a' furnished close to its
lower edge with a projecting circular flange a². This flange is used to secure the
proper adjustment of the sieve in the pot which is provided inwardly and below
the outlet with a circular rim 2 upon which rests the lower edge of the sieve a¹
after the latter has been inserted in the pot and the cover closes the said pot.
This rim can be so formed as to centre the inserted sieve in which case the
flange a may be dispensed with. As shown in Figure 1 the sieve a has a much
smaller diameter than the upper part of the pot so as to leave a cylindrical space c

page_text: between the sieve and the inner wall of the pot, in which space the liquid contained
in the pot must first enter when pouring out after having passed through the
filter a so that only filtered liquid can reach the outlet b' of the can or pot.
The sieve a can be furnished with round or oval perfortions and may have
a prismatic as well as a cylindrical form or be arranged as shown in Figure 3
which is half an underside view of the sieve and of the cover showing the former
corrugated.
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 filtering pot or can in which the cover a carries at its lower end a downwardly
projecting strainer or sieve a' of cylindrical or other shape, the pot itself being
provided with a circular rim arranged within the pot and below the outlet ¹
in such a manner that when the cover is inserted in the pot closing the latter at
the top the lower edge of the strainer or sieve rests upon the rim while a space c
connected with the outlet is formed between the outer surface of the sieve and the
inner wall of the pot in which space the liquid contained in the pot must first enter
when pouring after having passed through the sieve.
