Abstract
A kettle includes a kettle body defining an interior chamber with a spout positioned on the kettle body. The spout has a pour opening in communication with the interior chamber. The kettle also features a handle having a leading end, a gripping portion and a leaf spring. The leaf spring includes a leading portion attached to the gripping portion and a trailing portion attached to the kettle body. A spout lid is pivotally attached to the kettle body so as to selectively cover the pour opening. The leading end of the handle is pivotally mounted to the spout lid at a position where the leaf spring urges the leading end of the handle in a direction away from the trailing portion of the leaf spring so that the spout lid covers the pour opening when the kettle is in a level position. The leading end of the handle travels towards the trailing portion of the spring when the kettle is moved towards a pouring position so that the spout lid is lifted from the pour opening and ultimately to an angle sufficient to clear the stream of liquid flowing from the spout when the kettle is inverted.
