I, CARL BABBE, of 8111, Hafenstrasse, Altona, in the German Empire, Workman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My present invention relates to an improved pannikin for carrying meals, and
has for its object to provide suitable and practical means especially for workmen,
enabling them to warm or cook their meals at any desired time without the necessity
of a stove.
This is done by arranging preferably a spirit lamp in any desired manner at
the bottom of the pannikin, having a suitable flame distributor and provided with
an incombustible wick of asbestos so that no parts have to be renewed except
filling the burner with the necessary spirit or oil.
The pannikin is of any desired kind and size, and is made preferably of enamelled
tin and similar material. The lower end of the same is provided with a bayonet
catch or fastening device of any desired kind with which engages a spirit lamp,
provided with two projections to fit into the apertures so as to complete the bayonet
catch by turning the lamp to the right or left after insertion. The lamp is pre-
ferably provided with an asbestos wick, which being incombustible avoids the
necessity of its being renewed.
I provide a small plate of incombustible material fastened to a suitable support
so as to serve as a distributor for the flame, so that the same is compelled to cover
a larger heating surface of the pannikin, thus giving a more complete effect.
The sides of the lamp are provided with a sufficient number of perforations, so
that the air can circulate freely to assure a bright and smokeless burning of the
flame.
The lamp is filled with the combustible through an opening provided with a
suitably screwed cap.
I do not confine myself to the use of the foregoing of any particular form of
construction of pannikins or lamps.

statement:—
My present invention relates to an improved pannikin for carrying meals and
has for its object to provide suitable and practical means especially for workmen,
enabling them to warm or cook their meals at any desired time without the necessity
of a stove.
This is done by, arranging preferably a spirit lamp in any desired manner at
the bottom of the pannikin having a suitable flame distributor and provided with
an incombustible wick of asbestos so that no parts have to be renewed except
filling the burner with the necessary, spirit or oil!2.
To more fully explain my invention reference should be made to the accompany-
ing drawings, in which like letters indicate like parts.
Fig. 1 is a pannikin partly in elevation and partly in section.
Fig. 2 represents the bottom of the pannikin and shews holes to provide the
necessary circulation of air, so as to obtain a bright. flame.
Fig. 3 is a view of the bottom of the pannikin with the spirit lamp applied
before being fastened.
The pannikin a is of any desired kind and size and is made preferably of
enamelled tin or the like. The lower end of the same is provided with a bayonet
catch or fastening device of any desired kind.
The letter b indicates a spirit lamp, provided with two projections e, e to fit into
the apertures f f so as to complete the bayonet catch by turning the lamp to the
right or left after insertion. The lamp is preferably provided with an asbestos
wick, which being incombustible avoids the necessity of its being renewed, or a
circular wick as represented in the drawings may be used.
d is a small plate of incombustible material fastened to the pin h and serves as
a distributor for the flame, so that the same is compelled to cover a larger heating
surface of the pannikin, thus giving a more complete effect.
The sides of the lamp are provided with a sufficient number of perforations g,
so that the air can circulate freely to assure a bright and smokeless burning of the
flame.
The lamp is filled with the combustible through an opening c provided with a
suitable screwed cap.
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 an improvement in pannikins, the arrangement of a pannikin made pre-
ferably of enamelled tin and similar material, carrying a spirit or other lamp at
its lower end, a bayonet catch serving to fasten both together substantially.as
described and for the purpose set forth.
2) In an improvement in pannikins the combination with a pannikin preferably
made of enamelled tin or the like material, the lower end of which is provided
with suitable perforations to ensure a sufficient circulation of air, of a spirit lamp
arranged in the lower or any other desired part of said pannikin and provided
