ANTONIO SIDOTI, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
STRAINER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 685,302, dated October 29, 1901.
Application filed April 9, 1900. Serial No. 12,131, (No model)To al' whto7m ?t 7Tha7/ com1cern:
Be it known that I, ANTONIO SIDOTI, a resi-
dent of Dallas, in the county of Dallas and
State of Texas, have invented certain new and
5 useful Improvements in Strainers; and I do
hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,
and exact description of the invention,such as
will enable others skilled in the art to which
it pertains to make and use the same.
to The invention relates to strainers for culi-
nary and other vessels and is well adapted
for tea or coffee pots. Its object is to pro-
vide a simple and efficient strainer adapted
for a detachable connection to a vessel; and
15 the invention consists in the construction
herein described and pointed out.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is
a longitudinal section of a coffee-pot with
the strainer operatively situated therein, the
20 cover being represented as partially removed..
Fig.' 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig.
3 is an elevation of the pot-cover. Fig. 4 is
a front elevation, the cover being raised and
a strainer indicated by broken lines. Fig. 5
25 is a broken plan illustrating the strainer-
handle coil in position on the vessel.
Numeral 1 denotes any suitable vessel, a
coffee-pot being indicated in the present in-
stance. 2 indicates its handle, and 3 its pour-
30 ing-spout.
3X denotes a recess which may be formed
in the vessel-wall, if desired.
4 denotes a cover, and 4x is a spring-catch.
A hinge may be used, if desired.
35 The rim 5 of the cover,which fits the mouth
of the vessel above a shoulder 5x, is cut away
at 6, as indicated. Said shoulder is formed
by insetting the mouth or rim of the vessel,
as indicated. This inset provides a recess
4o for a strainer-handle, to be described.
7 denotes flanges secured to the interior of
the vessel and suitably disposed to receive
the edges of a wire or other strainer 8.
9 indicates a binding holding the edges of
45 the strainer material. This binding at the
side edges of the strainer is adapted to slide
in ways behind the flanges 7 when the strainer
is inserted or removed from the vessel. At
the upper end of the strainer the binding is
5o prolonged, and a part 10, extended beyond
the other part 11, is narrowed and coiled, asindicated at 12. The part 11 is preferably
convex to fit the vessel-wall on its interior.
The coil 12 may have a reverse convexity to
fit the convexity of the vessel-mouth and fill 55
the opening 6 in the cover-flange. The coil
serves as a handle for the manipulation of
the strainer and also as a lock or catch to se-
cure it in operative position, and it is itself
held in place by the cover. The construc- 6o
tion is such that the coil and the edge of the
cover can be manipulated by the fingers either
separately or simultaneously.
The strainer can be removed for cleaning
or for drying. It can also be partly raised 65
when desired to pour out the contents of the
vessel or a remainder thereof through the
spout without straining.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters 70
Patent, is-
1. In combination with a vessel having a
rim, a detachable strainer having a coiled
handle adapted to be sprung over the vessel-
rim and fitting it both on its inside and out- 75
side.
2. In combination with a vessel having a
rim, a detachable strainer having a frame
and an outwardly-extending handle integral
with the frame, said handle consisting of a 8o
coil of metal adapted to be sprung over the
vessel-rim, said vessel-rim being inset, and a
cover having a cut- away portion adjacent the
said rim inset.
3. In combination with a vessel having a 85
rim, a detachable strainer having a frame
and an outwardly-extending handle integral
with the frame, said handle consisting of a
coil of metal adapted to be sprung over the ves-
sel-rim and engage it on the outside, said rim 90
being inset, and a cover with the rim notched
to fit over the coil, said coil being situated in
the inset and within the lower proximate cir-
cumference of the vessel.
In testimony whereof I have signed this 95
specification in the presence of two subscrib-
ing witnesses.
