PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pans, Kettles, or like articles, and in Lids or
Covers therefor.
We, RICHARD CHALLENOR and JAMES SYLVESTER of Coburg Street, Rochdale
Road, Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Trunk Manufacturers and Sheet
Metal Workers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that
is to say:
The object of this invention is to produce pans, kettles or like articles of such
a form or construction as will permit the use of lids or covers that can be more
expeditiously manufactured and are more durable than are those as heretofore.
constructed.
We accomplish this object by forming in the case of kettles or like articles having.
a portion of their upper coverings made integral with the walls or sides thereof, a
flange to project downwardly into or within the cavity of said kettle or the like,
this flange having at or near its inner bottom edge a supplementary projecting
flange at about right angles to it, so that any lid or cover placed to fit within or
into the opening will rest upon or be supported by this supplementary flange, by
which means we are enabled to make use of a cover or lid that has a simple peripheral
rim, thus avoiding the use of those lids having additional radial flanges extending
beyond said peripheral rims, these latter, by the peculiarity of their construction,
corroding or otherwise deteriorating most rapidly.
By the lids or covers made to fit the kettles or like articles as above described,
only requiring a peripheral rim they do not necessitate so many operations in the
process of manufacture, while they enable the use of stronger and thicker though
less costly material than it is possible to use in the manufacture of those lids as
heretofore constructed.
To enable the use of these lids or covers in connection with pans having no
integrally formed upper surface but having the whole of said surface open, we form
a concentric groove in the edge of the upwardly extending sides thereof into which
the peripheral rim of the lid is made to fit, the straight and even walls within the
pans being interfered with as little as possible so that there are no facilities afforded
for the accumulation of dirt.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pans, Kettles, or like articles, and in Lids or
Covers therefor.
We, RICHARD CHALLENOR and JAMES SYLVESTER of Coburg Street, Rochdale
Road Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Trunk Manufacturers and Sheet
Metal Workers, 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, that is to say :-
The object of this invention is to produce pans, kettles or like articles of such
a form or construction as will permit the use of lids or covers that can be more
expeditiously manufactured and are more durable than are those as heretofore
constructed.

page_text: In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is sectional side elevation of a kettle made in accordance with our
invention.
い :
Fig. 2 is part sectional top view of said kettle.
Fig. 3 is sectional side elevation of a pan made in accordance with our invention.
Fig. 4 is top view of said pan.
Fig. 5 is a drawing in perspective of a lid or cover made to fit the kettle shewn
by Figs. 1 and 2.
Figs. 6, 7 and 8 are illustrative of modifications hereinafter described.
We accomplish the object of our invention by forming, in the cases of kettles or
like articles having a portion of their upper coverings a made integral with the
walls or sides b a flange c to project downwardly into or within the cavity of said
kettle or the like, this flange chaving at or near its inner bottom edge a supple-
mentary projecting flange d at about right angles to it, so that any lid or cover,
as the cover e, placed to fit within or into the opening will rest upon or be
supported by this supplementary flange d, or this flange c may be made to be at
an angle to the vertical plane as shewn by Fig. 6, the opening thus tapering
inwardly to answer the same purposes as does the flange d, by which means we are
enabled to make use of a cover or lid e that has a simple peripheral rim f, thus
avoiding the use of those lids having additional radial flanges extending beyond
said peripheral rim, these latter, by the peculiarity of their construction,
corroding or otherwise deteriorating most rapidly.
By the lids or covers e made to fit the kettles or like articles as above described,
only requiring a peripheral rim f they do not necessitate so many operations in the
process of manufacture, while they enable the use of stronger and thicker though
less costly material than it is possible to use in the manufacture of those lids as
heretofore constructed.
To enable the use of these lids or covers in connection with pans 9 having no
integrally formed upper surface but having the whole of said surface open, we form
a concentric groove in the edge of the upwardly extending sides k, into which
the peripheral rim f¹ of the lid el is made to fit or the edges of the upwardly
extending sides & may be inclined as shewn at Fig. 7, or they may be made to
have a flange as shewn at m Fig. 8, in all these varied forms the straight and
even walls within the pan 9 being thus interfered with as little as possible so that
there are no facilities afforded for the accumulation of dirt.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The method of forming and constructing kettles pans, or like articles and lids
-or covers therefor substantially as herein set forth and described.
