Complete Specification Accepted, 3rd Aug., 1888
I, PERCIVAL EVERITT, of 47, Cannon Street, in the City of London, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
ย
This invention relates to portable filters and consists in combining a jug or similar
vessel with a filter in such a manner that the water to be filtered can be introduced
and the filtered water withdrawn without it being necessary to remove the filter from
the jug.
A suitable way of carrying out the invention is as follows:
I place the filter inside the jug or like vessel, the space between the jug and the
filter serving to hold the water to be filtered. The water passes through the filtering
medium into a chamber formed inside it and the filtered water can then be easily
poured out therefrom when the jug is lifted and inclined. Or, as will be obvious I
can introduce the water to be filtered into the chamber in the filtering medium the
water then passing through the filtering medium and filling up the space between the
filtering medium and the jug from which it can then be poured.

page_text: ⚫I, PERCIVAL EVERITT, of 47, Cannon Street, in the City of London, Engineer, 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:-
This invention relates to portable filters and consists in combining a jug or similar 5
vessel with a filter in such a manner that the water to be filtered can be introduced
and the filtered water withdrawn without it being necessary to remove the filter from
the jug.
A suitable way of carrying out the invention is as follows:-
I place the filter inside the jug or like vessel, the space between the jug and the 1
filter serving to hold the water to be filtered. The water passes through the filtering
medium into the filter or chamber formed inside the jug and the filtered water can
then be easily poured out therefrom when the jug is lifted and inclined. Or, as will be
obvious I can introduce the water to be filtered into the filter or chamber containing
the filtering medium the water then passing through the filtering medium and filling
up the space between the filter and the jug, from which it can then be poured.
In the accompanying drawing
Figures 1 and 2 are vertical sections of portable filters constructed according to my
invention, and
Figures 3 and 4 are plans of figures 1 and 2 respectively.
In these arrangements the water to be filtered is intended to be introduced into the
space between the sides of the jug and the filter chamber, and the filtered water is
poured out of the latter.
Similar letters in all the figures indicate similar parts.
Referring to figures 1 and 3, a is the filter or chamber formed centrally inside the
jug b, and c is the filtering medium contained in the chamber a, the bottom of which
is formed with an opening d through which and through the filtering medium C, the
water passes from the space e between the jug and the filter to the inside of the
chamber a.
The water to be filtered is introduced into the space e through an aperture of and a
percolates, in the direction indicated by the arrows, through the filtering medium c
into the chamber a as hereinbefore described whence the filtered water can then be
poured without it being necessary to remove the filter from the jug.
q is a cover for excluding dust and dirt from the combined jug and filter.
In the arrangement shown in figures 2 and 4, the filter chamber a and the space e
for the reception of the water to be filtered are formed by dividing the jug into two
compartments by a partition extending from the top to near the bottom of the jug.
The arrangement in all other respects is similar to that illustrated in figures 1 and 3.
The arrangements above described and illustrated I have found to be suitable for
carrying out my invention but it will be obvious that the jug or similar vessel and

page_text: filter can be arranged in combination for the purpose described in other ways without
departing from the principle of my invention, for example, they can be arranged so
that the water to be filtered has to be introduced into the chamber containing the
filtering medium and passes through the filtering medium into the space between the
filter and the jug, from which it can then be poured.
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 :-
1. A portable filter consisting of a jug or similar vessel combined with a filter in
such a manner that the water to be filtered can be introduced and the filtered water
withdrawn without it being necessary to remove the filter from the jug.
2. The improved portable filters hereinbefore described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
