Description
Skinner's patent is for "a new and useful invention, having reference to Pots or Vessels for Making Decoctions of Tea, Coffee, or other material..." When the decoction apparatus is out of the pot, "this conduit not only operates to increase the flowage of liquid from the body into the spout, during the process of discharging liquid from the body by means of the spout, but permits air to pass into the body, and over the surface of the liquid, in order to supply the space exhausted of liquid with the quantity of air necessary to prevent interruption of the flowage of liquid out of the spout."
