' application filed December 19, 1911. Serial No. 666,819.-

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, LILLIAN V. WILLIS, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain .new and useful Improvements in' Renovating Steam-Kettles, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to steam kettlesfor renovating fabrics, such as silk, velvets and the like. a

I-Ieretofore in renovating fabrics of such character it has'been almost the universal practice to heat a sad iron, place a dampened cloth over the face ofthe iron, so as to create steam, turn the'face'of'the iron upward,-

and pass the fabric desired to be renovated over the same. This operation requiring the services of at least two persons, one to handle the iron and the other the fabric. To renovate fabric in this manner is to a more or less degree very tedious, and in. most cases more or less lneifectlve.

My invention has for its object to provide a device =for the' purpose of renovating fabrics, which is simple in construction and operation, cheap as to manufacture, and effective as to the purpose intended, and requires but a single person to operate 1t.

With the foregoing objects in view, my

invention consists in certain novel features lof do struction, combinations and arrange- .ment' f parts which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.'

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of the invention and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

tion thereof, Provided on the upper end of the cylinder is a rectangular plate 7 which for the purpose of this description is termed a table, having a lurality of slots 8 provided therein openmg into the cylinder.

9 indicates a port or opening through 'which the kettle may be filled, and 10 the cover or cap therefor, it will be observed by removing the cylinder 4 while the contents is not in thecourse ofbeing' heated, the port 9 and cap 10 being preferably provided for the purpose of replenishing the kettle while in operation of being used.

My invention is operated as follows; the

gree with water, then placed upon a stove or some similar heating apparatus or burner and the water heated to a degree sufiic'ient and'while being so discharged the fabric is passed over the slotsthe steam being discharged through the' same and thereby. renovating it to a degree to meet the requirements. The number of slots in the table depends to a. great extent upon the size of the kettle and its steaming capacity,

is discharged through the slots with more or less force, thereby blowing the dust and small particles which have collected in the fabric.

For the purpose of handling the device I have provided a handle 11, which may be of-the character as shown or of any other pattern as may be desired.

ll am aware that slight changes and alterati ons, might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several, parts described, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction as herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention,

Letters Patent, is:

In a device of the character described, the combination with a receptacle adapted to contain boilin water, having a cylindrical neck provide with an annular shoulder exteriorly provided at its mouth, of a c linder secured within the neck having'a ead bead a apted to rest upon the said shoulder as better results are obtained when the steam what I claim as new and desire to secure by PatentedNov.-12, 1912.
