Complete Specification Left, 27th Apr., 1895-Accepted, 15th June, 1895
Improvements in or appertaining to Pans used for Culinary
Purposes.
I, WILLIAM WANTY PERCIVAL, of 77, Sydenham Place, Bradford, in the
County of York, Draper, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or appertaining to pans used for
culinary purposes and its object is to facilitate removing the solid contents
therefrom.
For this purpose I employ a shell or casing to fit inside the pan which shell is
suitably perforated. The shell may reach to approximately the top of the pan and
the lid may be fitted therein or it may not reach up to the lid. The lid and shell
may be so formed that by partly turning the lid it may engage the shell so as to
enable the latter to be lifted by the lid out of the pan. The bottom of the shell
may be made to open to facilitate discharging the contents of the shell.
Dated this 27th day of June 1894.

Improvements in or appertaining to Pans used for Culinary
Purposes.
1, WILLIAM WANTY PERCIVAL, of 77, Sydenham Place, Bradford, in the
County of York, Draper, 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 improvements in or appertaining to saucepans, that is
to say pans used for culinary purposes, and its object is to facilitate removing
the solid contents therefrom.
For this purpose I employ a shell or casing to fit inside the pan which shell is
suitably perforated. The shell may reach to approximately the top of the pan
and the lid may be fitted therein or it may not reach up to the lid. The lid and
shell may be so formed that by partly turning the lid it may engage the shell so as
to enable the latter to be lifted by the lid out of the pan. The bottom of the shell
may be made to open to facilitate the discharging the contents of the shell.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying sheet of drawings forming a part
of this Specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding
parts in each of the figures.
Figure 1, represents a diametrical section of a pan showing the perforated shell
in full.
Figure 2, represents a separate view of the shell and lid with the latter and a
portion of the shell in section. The bottom is shown partly open.
Figure 3, represents a plan view of the shell with the bottom closed.
Figure 4, represents a sectional plan view of the shell with the bottom open.

page_text: The shell A is made to freely pass into the pan B and the lid C preferably fits
inside this shell and is secured thereto by means of the L shaped slots D. D
(formed in that portion C2 of the lid C which fits inside the shell) engaging the
studs F, F fixed to the shell; thus forming a sort of bayonet joint therewith. The
bottom. A of the shell is hinged at one side by, the hinge A³ to the shell and it is
held in the closed position by the bent wire E pivoted in clasps A; A fixed
outside the shell. One limb. E2 of this wire projects partly across the bottom
of A² as shown in Figures 1 and 3 to keep the bottom in the closed position. To
enable the bottom to be opened the wire is capable of being turned to the position
shown in Figures 2 and 4 thus leaving the bottom free to fall open and discharge
the contents. The top limb or finger piece E³ is provided on the wire to confine
it longitudinally in the said clips and also to facilitate turning it.
The bottom of the shell may be made to open in any other convenient way and
it may be held closed or opened by any other convenient device.
The sides and bottom of the shell may be perforated or formed with
perforations P, the number and form of which may obviously be modified.
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. A shell adapted to fit inside a saucepan and provided with a bottom which
may be opened to discharge the contents, substantially as herein, shown and.
described.
2. A shell for a saucepan provided with a bottom which may be opened, and a
lid having a device for attaching it to the shell in order that the latter may be
lifted, thereby, substantially as herein shown and described.
