DE27241C - Kitchen milk scales - Google Patents

Description

The commonly used one, made of a closed, appropriately weighted, hollow Glass cylinder with a matching scale has existing milk scales (lowering scales) for the practical Uses two major disadvantages:

Firstly, it is easily fragile and, secondly, it is unsuitable for ordinary use because it is necessary that the milk be tested in a deep vessel in order to use the milk balance to be able to, or there must be a large quantity of milk available for the Libra to be able to use comfortably, a condition, but especially in the cities cannot be met in the case of smaller households.

In order to remedy this inconvenience and to create an inexpensive milk scale that can be used in all cases (even for the smallest quantity of milk), I have constructed the kitchen milk scale shown in the accompanying drawings, Figs. 1 and 2, and described below. My kitchen milk scale consists of a hollow, calotte-shaped, airtight container A made of very thin sheet brass, on which the plate or stick B is placed. Under the calotte there is a thin screw D exactly vertically or centrally under B , onto which an adjustable or exchangeable weight E is screwed. The weight of E serves to compensate for the weight of the calotte, so this DAF for primates or normal milk, depending on the choice of the starting point 10 (or o) of the mounted on Scala B can be adjusted. In order to be able to read off at night, I prefer to designate the degrees of division of the scale with small holes which allow a light held behind it to shine through and thus allow a clear reading. Depending on the addition of 1, 2, 3, etc. tenth volumes of water to the unit volume of normal milk is then i the scale, 2, 3 etc. divisions sink the Scala division once established and thus serve as a gauge of the tested milk. By varying the weight e the balance läfst with appropriate Graduirung of the plate B also for other liquids, e.g. to check the sugar content when boiling sugar, e.g. fuel content, etc., on the back of B there is a corresponding graduation with dividing lines.

Patenτ claim:
