ALFRED HARRISON, engineer and JOHN WRIGHT, ironmonger of Spalding in
the County of Lincoln do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MAKE AND CONSTRUCTION OF LIDS, FOR SAUCEPANS, KETTLES,
BOILERS, &c. to be as follows:-
In the flange or lower portion of the lid which fits into the saucepan, we cut out
three or more wedge shaped pieces as may be desired and corresponding with these
said places so cut out, we insert in the rim of the Saucepan Kettle or Boiler, small
pins or studs, so that when the lid is turned either to the right or left, it is raised
or lowered as may be desired, and thus boiling over prevented, this is applicable to
either round or oval Saucepans, Kettles or Boilers.

ALFRED HARRISON, engineer and JOHN WRIGHT, ironmonger of Spalding in the
County of Lincoln do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MAKE AND CONSTRUCTION OF LIDS FOR SAUCEPANS &c. and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :—
In the flange or portion of the lid which fits into the saucepan or other cooking
or boiling utensil we cut out wedge shaped pieces say three or more as may be
desired and of suitable size as in Fig. 1, and corresponding to these said pieces so
cut out, we place on the inside of the rim or upper portion of the saucepan or other
cooking utensil pins or studs, revited or secured by other suitable means
in Fig. 2.
It will be seen that by putting the lid on the saucepan with the parts so cut out
over the pins or studs, the said lid will go down into its place, but that on turning
the lid to the right or to the left it is raised or lowered as may be desired, and the
steam allowed to escape, without removeing the lid from the saucepan, or placeing
it on one side as is usually the case and the contents thereof rendered liable to be
destroyed by falling soot or smoke-This arrangement shown in Fig. 3. is
applicable to all classes or descriptions of round saucepans, kettles, boilers or other
cooking utensils, constructed of either Tin, Iron, Copper, Brass or other suitable
material.
For oval saucepans or other cooking utensils, we cut out of the flange of the lid
parallel strips or pieces of any suitable number and size as shown in Fig. 4, and
corresponding with these pieces so cut out we place in the rim of the saucepan,
boiler or kettle, pins or studs suitably attached, by reviting or otherwise as in
Fig. 5, so that when the lid is put on the saucepan with the parts cut out of the
flange of the lid over the pins in the rim of the saucepan or boiler the lid will go
down into its proper place, but on lifting the lid and turning it end for end the lid
will rest upon the pins or studs and form spaces for the steam to escape, and thus
prevent boiling over as shown in Fig. 6. in which drawing the boiler has been
reversed to give a better view of steam outlets.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is,
1st The construction of Lids for Saucepans, Kettles, Boilers and other cooking
utensils, with spaces cut out of the flanges or portion that fits into the saucepan.
2nd We place pins or studs, revited or fixed by any suitable means on the inside
or rim of the saucepan, so that when the said lid is turned either to the right or
to the left the lid is raised or lowered as may be desired, steam allowed to escape,
and boiling over prevented.
