PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Jugs and the like.
I, FLORENCE EDITH FORTEATH, of Newton House, Elgin, Scotland, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of jugs and the like
spouted vessels for containing liquids and has for object to provide means for
obviating the inconvenience, at present existing in these articles after use, of drips
falling from the spout or lip and running down the side of the vessel and thence
on to the cloth or table and thereby causing unsightly stains and general anuoyance.
In accordance with this invention and with the object aforesaid I form upon the
jug or other vessel at a suitable distance below the spout or lip a cup or hollow
receptacle into which any drips falling from the spout or lip are caught and thus
prevented reaching the cloth or table.
Dated this 1st day of November 1894.

obviating the inconvenience, at present existing in these articles after use, of drips
falling from the spout and running down the side of the vessel and thence on to
the cloth or table and thereby causing unsightly stains and general annoyance.
In accordance with this invention and with the object aforesaid I form upon the
jug or other vessel at a suitable distance below the spout or lip a cup or receptaclo
into which any drips falling from the spout are caught and thus prevented reaching
the cloth or table.
And in order that this invention may be fully understood I have apponded
hereto a drawing illustrative thereof. In this drawing a is the jug, the spout or
lip, c the receptacle which may be of any desired shape, or design, placed or formed
at a suitable distance below the lip or spout of the jug. It will readily be seen
that any drips falling from the spout and running down the side of the vessel will
be caught in the cup or receptacle and tho inconvenience and annoyance
mentioned above of soiling the table or cloth by drips falling from the spout of the
jug or the like are entirely obviated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is performed I declare that what I claim is :—
