PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Culinary Utensils.
I, WILLIAM SOUTTER, of the Firm of William Soutter and Sons, Farm Street,
Birmingham, Art Metal Workers, do hereby declare the nature of my, said
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in culinary utensils, and consists in the
arranging or adjusting the lid when removed from the aperture or mouth of the
vessel. By preference I construct the lid with a loop or ring or hook in the place
of the knob usually employed for the removal for filling etc. this loop ring or hook
engages with a hook ring or loop upon the handle at a convenient part (for a
kettle it would be arranged at the back) so that the misplacing and other objections
are avoided and is ready at hand for its purpose..
In some cases I may employ the ordinary knob I should then configurate in the
upright of the handle an aperture (sufficient for the knob to pass through) and a
slot into which the neck of the knob would pass, and would be thus secured.

Improvements in or relating to Culinary Utensils.
I, WILLIAM SOUTTER, of the Firm of William Soutter and Sons, Farm Street,
Birmingham, Art Metal Workers, do hereby declare the nature of my said
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 improvements in culinary utensils, of any kind of metal
aud consists in the arranging or adjusting the lid when removed from the aperture
or mouth of the vessel. By preference I construct the lid, with a loop, or ring, or
book, in the place of the knob usually employed for the removal for filling &c.
this loop, ring, or hook engages with a hook, riug, or loop upon the handle at a
convenient part (for a kettle it would be arranged at the back) so that the
misplacing and other objections are avoided, and is ready at hand for its purpose.
In some cases I may employ the ordinary knob. I should then configurate in the
upright of the handle an aperture sufficient for the knob to pass through, and a
slot into which the neck of the knob would pass, and would be thus secured.
And in order that this my said invention may be more clearly understood, and
more easily carried into practice, I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings
which illustrate my improvements in culinary utensils which are constructed of
various metals.
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a "kettle," with the lid removed and suspended
by a loop or ring to a book, of the support of the handle.
Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of "kettle," with the lid removed and arranged by
passing the knob through an aperture, and the neck of same passing into a slot, in
connection with the support of the handle.
Fio. 2ª is a back view in elevation of one part as Fig. 2.

page_text: Fig. 3 is a view in elevation of a "teapot," with the lid removed, and arranged
by passing the knob through an aperture, and the neck of same passing into a slot
in the handle.
"
Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of à sauce-pan or stew-pan with the lid removed,
and arranged by the strap-handle of same to the hook upon the bandle.
The same letters of reference indicate like or corresponding parts in each figure
where they occur.
a is the body of the culinary utensil, 6 is the lid removed from a, and the loop or
ring c, of same engaged upon the hook d, which is upon the support or handle e,
as shown in Fig. 1.
fis the knob which is passed through the aperture g, the neck h, engaging in the
slot i, as shown in Figs. 2, 24, 3.
d is the hook, is the "strap-handle" engaging with d, as shown in Fig. 4.
While I have described the above features of my invention for improvements in
culinary utensils, by arranging the lid or cover to the vessel when removed, for the
purpose above set forth, and shown upon the drawings.
Furthermore I do no limit myself to the figures shown on the sheet of drawings,
as these are merely illustrative of some of the culinary utensils used, nor to forms
or details of construction, but contemplate necessary or desirable changes in form,
construction, and the substitution of equivalent members, without departing
essentially from the principle of my said invention.
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 culinary utensil, the combination, of a hook'd, and the loop or ring c,
substantially as herein before described.
2. In a culinary utensil, the combination of the aperture y and slot i, with knobƒ,
substantially as herein before described.
3. The general construction and combination of parts, substantially for purposes
herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
