Description
N0. 687,979. Patented Den. 3, I90l. D. GHAMBERS.
TEA STRAINER.
(N0 Nudel.)
UNED STATES PATENT OFFICE DAVID CHAMBERS, OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR O13 ONE-l-IALF T LYDIA B. OHAMBERS, OF SAN JOSE, OALIFORNIA.
TEA-STRAINER.
SPECIFICATION forming Part of Letters Patent N0. 687,979, dated Decemloer 3, 1901.
Application filed J'uly 3, 1901.
T0 all w7wm it may concern: Be in known that I, DAVID HAMBERS, a (sibizen of England, residing ab San J ose, county they are connected a1; intervals, so that when insered into the spoui; 01' nozzle they form radiating strainers au intervals from one end to the other. In connection with this is a loop or stop by which the deviee is retained in plaee.
Referring 110 the aecompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a view of my device. Fig. 2 shows it in position for use.
A represents a teapot 01' equivalent receptaele having a discharge spout or nozzle 2.
3 is a flexible 10d, whieh is here shown made of twisted wires.
4, 5, and 6 are a series of fine elastie wires, bristles, 01 other suitable material Which are twisted into the wires 3, so that they form radially-disposed groups 015 such exterior cireumference than they will fit within Ehe nozzle 01 spou 2. As these spouts are usually. made of gradually-deereasing diameter from the hasse t0 the diseharge, the lower or innermost strainer 4 is made of the largest size, he next one 0f somewhat srnaller, and thus decreasing in size to 11l1e last one, whieh is loeated nearer 1:0 the diseharge end of the spout. These radial groups 01 strainers are like the ribs of an umbrella, so that the device ean easily be introdueed into the nozzle or spo1it by pushing it in from 1Jhe outer end, the fiexibilty of ehe wires 01 equivalent unembe1s allowing them t0 yield, so as 120 pass through the smaller part 0f the nozzle and 130 expand as they pass down until they arrive ab their proper positions.
7 is a. loop formed upon the outer end of the twisted wires which fo'rm the central portion, and this loop is of such diame'ner that Sarial1lo. 66,988. (N0 morlel.)
it forme a stop against the 'outer end of the spoub or nozzle, and thus prevents the deviee from slipping too far into the spoub.
The angle of the radial wires is such that the outer ends pressing against the inside of the spout prevent its falling out; but it ean be at2 any time withdrawn, because the spout being smooth the wires will yield and Slip within it for this purpose, so that it ean be readily eleansed at1 any time.
Having thus deseribed rny invention, What I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-
l. A strainer for teapots and the like adapted to fitthe nozzles theneof, comprising ra dially-disposed bristles 01 wire and a twisted Wi1e center.
. 2. A strainer f01 teapots and the like adapted 120 fit the nozzles thereof, consieting of a eentral flexible support and groups 0f radiallydisposed filaments eonnected at intervals t0 said support.
3. The combination in astrainer for teapots and the like of a flexible twisted wire, groups of elastic wires 01' bristles twisted int0 said center and radiating therefromat intervals, the ends of each group extending ontward and forming contact with the interior of the spout o1 nozzle.
4. The combination in a strainer for teapots and the like 0f a flexible twisted wire, groups of elasbic wires or bristles seeured thereto als intervals and radiating so as t0 contaet With the interior of the spoufi, and a loop formed in the outer end of the twisted wi'res 130 forma a stop.
5. The combination Witl1 the spont of a teapot 01' the like, 0f a removable strainer cousisting of a center formed of flexible twisted Wires having a loop ab the outer end 110 limit its inward movement, a pluraliby o f groups of radial elastic wires or bristles fixed 110 the elastic eenter als intervals within the length of ehe spout, the ende of said wires extending outwardly and contacting Wibh the interior 0f the spoutz.
In witness whereof I have hereunto sei; my
