UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

JAMES H. STIMPSON, EXECUTOR OF JAMES STIMPSON, DECEASED, OF BALTIMORE,

MARYLAND.

VESSEL FOR HOLDING LIQUIDS.

Speccaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 11,819, dated October 17,1854; antedated April 17, 1854; reissued June 9, 1868, No. 2,891.

To all tf1/omit may concern.'

Be it known that JAMES S'riilrsoN (late deceased), of the city of Baltimore and State describe its construction and operation.

Figure 1, shows a vertical section of a vessel made in this plan, cutthrough the middle.

The inner chamber e, a, a, is the one to hold the liquid and Z), b, is the exterior chamber. It will be perceived that e, forms a part of the interior chamber and forms a part of the exterior chamber; but a', 7)', is in one connection as in Fig. 2, and a, a, Z9, b, is in ano-ther as in Fig. 3. Now a, Zn,is conneoted to a, (i, by means of a hinge c, and the chain d, forms a connection between the part a, and the handle L, attached to the part a, a, l). By pressing on the chain d the part a', is elevated, thereby allowing the contents to be poured from the interior over the lip e.

It is important to this vessel, after the contents are in, that the cover should be closed at all times, except when pouring, and if the cover has to be lifted by the hand, the vessel engages both hands and becomes very inconvenient, but by the use of the chain, but one hand is required and the objection to the attached cover or lid is entirely removed, and the economy of the vessel is perfected. If constructed of materials that are not sufliciently strong tof prevent collapse by the pressure of the atmosphere, a small ventfshould be applied to the space g.

I do not claim the double Wall as a means of intercepting heat nor do I intend to claim such. a device as applied to any structure or vessel whatsoever for the purpose of economizing in ice, unless attended with all the advantages and results of my double Wall ice pitcher. It is obvious that refrigerators, urns, tumblers, double plates and such like articles occupy special positions in household economy and distinct from my double pitcher and that no one of them can be made to subserve all its purposes and ends, and I therefore disclaim them one and all and confine my claim to the double Wall pitcher. It is obvious that the lid fro-1n its small surface and position in reference to the circulation of heat may be made single with comparatively small loss but I prefer to make it double as setforth.

What I claim therefore as my invention is the double Wall pitcher, the same consisting in a. pitcher with double sides, do-uble bottom and a hinged cover from which the liquid contents are to be poured through or over a nose or lip substantially as herein set forth. I am aware that a lever has been used upon the covers of molasses pitchers for raising the covers and this I do not claim but I do claim the employment of a chain or string attached to the handle and lid of the pitcher as described.
