US Patent:

39397602, Feb 24, 1976

Filed:

Mar 18, 1974

Appl. No.:

5/451336

Inventors:

John Littell Eaton - Delanco NJ
Richard Henry Brill - Philadelphia PA
Walter E. Myers - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

SCM Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

A47J 3100

US Classification:

99312

Abstract:

An electric percolator having a liquid containing section formed from an assembly of glass and other materials fixed together by means of a locking collar. The lid of the percolator is held in place by means of a quick-release latching mechanism which prevents the lid from being disengaged by the lifting motion normally used to open a lid and instead requires a twisting motion which rapidly releases the lid. Simplified electrical circuitry in the percolator utilizes a single lamp that indicates both the "Brewing" and the "Keep Warm" modes of percolator operation. A method is also set forth for assembling a composite apparatus having a glass component which does not require threading, strapping or gluing of the glass component.
