COFFEE-POT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'Patent No. 399,431, dated March 12, 1889.

Application filed December 30, 1887. Serial No. 259,400. (No model.)

To (1.7] 11-71mm it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD 'J. NEwLiN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Coffee-Pot, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction of coffee-pots of the class in which an infusion is obtained by passing water through the ground coffee, which is held in a fabric strainer near the top of the coffeepot.

The invention consists in a compressible I ring held in the margin of the strainer, in a removable support for the strainer, and in details of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically set forth and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the aceom mnying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate eorrespomling parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a central sectional elevation of a coffee-pot having my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a plan view with the strainer removed, and Fig. 3 is a partly sectional plan view of the compressible ring.

\Vithin a hem or sh irr, (1, formed in the upper margii'lal edge of the fabric strainer A, is

held loosely a compressible ring, 13, formed in the present instance from a piece of spring- 3 metal tubing of small diameter, bent into ring form, and having secured in one end, preferably by soldering, a short piece of wire, 1/, which projects tlnn'efrom and is adapted to enter the other end of the bent tube,wliereby, by nessure appliml to the periphery of the ring, the same can be l'OtlLlCOtl in diameter, so as to be passed into the contracted top of an ordinary cone-shaped coffee-pot and removed therefrom with case when IOflflll'Otl.

A tripod-shaped s n'ing-wire frame, C, having the ends of its arms a bentinward to form the projections d, is inserted in the coffeepot, with its shank e resting on the eoffee-pot bottom, so that: when the strainer is placed in the coffee-pot the ring 13 will rest on the projections (I, and the strainer will be securely upheld. i A socket, D, is secured centrally on the bottom of the coifee-pot, in which socket the end of the shank e of the tripod C can be inserted to hold the same firmly in place; but this socket is not essential, as the tripod, ring, and strainer will be suttieiently well sustained by the spring-tension of the arms a and ring B i when the same are applied to a coffee-pot not.

provided with the socket D.

The ring B maybe otherwise made compressible without departing from the spirit of my invention; but the form shown is at present preferred as presenting no ends to puncture the fabric of the strainer, and a strainer provided with a compressible ring may be otherwise held in position in the pot.

llavin g tints fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a pot, the combiinition,with aspring- 1 tripod and a strainer, of an elastic split ring having a segmental pi eee of smaller diameter rigidly secured in one of its ends, and a tubular opening in its opposite end, in which said 1 piece is placed and is adapted to work, substantiall y as described.

2. In a coffee-pot, a strainer-support eonsisting in a tripod formed of a series of elastie arms cmiverging and united at theirlower ends, free at their upper ends, and bowed outwardly between their ends, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a coffee-pot pro vided with a socket on its bottom, of a springtripod adapted to fit into said socket, and a strainer sustained on said tripod, substani tially as set forth.

EDWARD 'J. NEWLIN.
