CULINARY VESSEL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 23, 1919.

Application filed. July 13, 1915. Serial No, 39,591.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD E. BEBE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Culinary Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in culinary vessels, from which it is sometimes, but not always, necessary or desirable to drain liquids from the more solid contents; and the object of the improvement is to detachably secure a segmental screen or shield to the corresponding rim portion of thevessel, for use or removal as may be desired.

A useful form or embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a culinary vessel, inverted as for pouring water therefrom, showing the segmental screen in place;

Fig. 2, a cross section of same on lines 2-2, Fig. l; and

Fig 3, a detached plan View of the segmental screen.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

The vessel 1 is provided with one or more inwardly presented recesses in one side, at or near the rim thereof, which recesses are for the purpose of engaging corresponding circumferential edge portions of the segmental screen 4 fitted within the rim portion of the vessel and may be in the form of the open slots 3 located slightly below and prleferably coplanar with the rim of the vesse The screen or shield 4 may be made of perforate, reticulate or impervious metal or material, and as shown is preferably made of resilient sheet metal provided with a sufficient number of perforations 5 for the particular purpose for which it is desired to use the vessel.

The natural resilience of the screen may be supplemented by forming a bead as 6 on its straight or chord edge, and this head may be further reinforced by providing therein a rod of wire 7 made of spring steel or the like; but the employment of these supplemental means is not essential.

The circumferential edge 8' of the screen is suitably formed or shaped for fitting the rimmed portion of the vessel when the screen, is deflected for engaging the same; and as'shown in the drawings, this engagement may be effected by means of the tongues 9 projecting from the edge of the screen. When such tongues are employed or used for this purpose, it is usually sufficient to provide one tongue at the middle of the circumferential edge and one tongue at or near each end thereof.

By these means it is evident that the screen can be readily attached to the vessel by s r ng h middle to gu 9 n. t corresponding recess 3 of the vessel, and

then bending or deflecting the inner middle body portion of the screen upward or downward to permit the end tongues 9 to enter and be engaged in the corresponding recesses 3 in the vessel.

For the purpose of securely engaging the screen with the vessel, and also for arching and crowning its inner middle portion above the plane of its circumferential edge, this edge is cut, shaped or formed on the arc of a circle having a larger diameter than that of the engaging rim portion of the vessel; so that when the screen is secured to the vessel as described, by deflecting the inner portion upward, the same is held by the abutment of its end portions with the sides of the vessel, from resuming a flat position, and the inner middle portion of the screen is thus maintained in an upwardly arched or crowned position, as shown moreclearly in Fig. 2.

To those skilled in the art of making cooking vesels, many alterations in construction and differing embodiments and applications of the invention will suggest themselves, without departing from the spirit and scope thereof; the disclosure and the description herein being purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.

I claim:

1. A culinary vessel having inwardly presented recesses in the rim ortion of one side, and a resilient segmenta screen having its circumferential edge curved on a larger diameter than the rim of the vessel, and formed to engage in the recesses by deflection. of the body portion of the scram side, and a resilient segmentalscreen having tongues on' its circumferential edge for enaging in said recesses by a deflection of the.

ody portion of the screen.

3. A culinary vessel having inwardly presented recesses in the rim portion of one side. and a resilient segmental screen having its circumferential edge formed to engage in said recesses by a deflection of'the body. portion of the screen. 7 j A; A culinary vessel having-inwardly pref sented recesses in the rim'portion of one side, and a segmental screenih'aving a ciricumferential edge formed to engage in said recesses by a deflection of the body portion of the screen and havinga resilient reinforcement along its chord edge.

y 5.[A combination of a culinary vessel and a reslllent screen, there-belng nterengaglng means between the circumferential edge of v the screen and the inner side of the rim portion of the vessel for detachably engaging the parts together by a deflection of the body portion of the screen. p

6. The combination of a culinary vessel and a resilient segmental screen, there beinginterengaging means between the circumferential edge of the screen and the inner side of the rim portion of the vessel for detachably securing the parts together and arching the body portion'of the screen by a deflection thereof. 1

7. The combination of a culinaryv vessel and a resilient segmental screen having its circumferential edge normally curved on a larger diameter than the rim ofthe vessel, there being interengaging means between said edge'and rim, fOr' securing the screen to the vessel and archingits body portion by the abutment of its end portions with the "sides of the vessel. l
