' COOKING UTENSIL.

Original No. 1,665,037, dated April 3; 1928, Serial No. 76,605, filed December 21, "1925. Application for reissue filed May 10, 1928.

The invention is exemplified and illustrated as a preferred embodiment in the ac companying drawings as follows Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a skillet. Fig. 2 a sect-ion on the line 22 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 a bottom view of the cover. Fig. 4 a sect-ion on theline H in Fig. 3; Fig. 5 a section of the skillet and cover in place thereon.

1 marks the skillet bottom, 2 the side walls of the skillet, 3 pouring spouts on the skillet and 4 the handle. A cover 5 has a peripheral rib 6 designed to fit within the walls 2 of the cover. The cover also has an outwardly extending lip or flange 7 which rests on the top edge of the wall 2 and is of sufficientwidth to extend over the upper edge of the pouring spout. The pouring spout is so formed with relation to the under surface of the lip 7 as to make a. closure.

d1The cover has the drip rings 8 and hane 9.

tively to the edge of the utensil.

Serial No. 27e,721.

With this construction it is desirable to retain the juices within the skillet and the distribution of the condensation is facilitated by the drip rings.

It will be noted that with the over-hanging flange 7 the cover may be placed on the utensil without regard to any particular location circumferentially of the cover rela- Conse- 40 quently there is a greater conveniencein placing the cover on the utensil than where the cover is fashioned at the spouts to fit theutensil. Further the construction of the cover is simplified.

i What I claim as new is The combination of a cooking utensil having a pouring lip; and an imperforate cover having a surroundingrib extending downwardly along the inner surface of the wall of the utensil and a surrounding flange extending outwardly from the rib, the flange having a contour and width relatively to th pouring lip sealing the pouring lip with the cover turned in any position circumferentially on the utensil.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

CHARLES A. MASSING.
