Patented in the German Empire on June 13, 1913.

All previously known fruit juice preparation devices in which the fruits the juice is removed by means of steam, rely on the device that in one closable outer pot located in a special container housed in it Fruits are subjected to a steam bath, whereby the excess steam escapes into the open.

ίο This system of juice preparation has the following Disadvantage:

Due to the fact that the fruit container is firmly enclosed in the outer pot, can A control over the progress of the juicing of the fruit cannot be carried out without the interrupt the whole process. Likewise is

. continuous operation, i.e. refilling of fruit during the juicing process impossible for the same reason.

Overheating of the fruits, which makes them inferior, can occur, because the pots containing the fruit and juice for the entire duration of the juicing process are bathed in more or less hot steam.

In the present invention are steam generator, steam supply and fruit and Juice pot arranged in such a way that at any time both a control refilling or full renewal of the fruit stand is also possible without the im To impede the development of steam in progress. Overheating of the contents of the Fruit and juice container is avoided in that the outer walls of these pots with do not come into contact with the steam.

The drawing illustrates an embodiment of such a juice preparation device.

Fig. Ι is a cross section through the device in the direction xx.

α is the steam developer, h the cross-mounted water pipes built into the same, i the condensation space built around the steam generator with an inwardly curved bottom and a certain distance from the lower edge of the steam generator; b, b are the steam pipes leading to the cover c, the crosspiece of which is designed as a carrier of the cover c and in connection with its bearing eye as a shut-off valve at ä.

e is the juice pot and f the fruit pot with the partition k, in whose channels the steam rises again and is fed through the transverse channel I to the exhaust steam pipe g , which opens into the room i.

Fig. 2 is a full view of the apparatus, rotated by a quarter, to illustrate the way in which the two tubes δ, δ serve as a support and stopcock for the cover c, and in which the exhaust pipe g and its confluence in the condensation chamber i can be seen is.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the device, from which it can be seen how the condensation space i is mounted around the steam generator α , and in which way the water pipes h, h are built into the steam generator.

Fig. 4 illustrates the intermediate tube inserted between the two tubes b, b and how the same is designed as a shut-off valve that the steam supply by opening

of the lid is interrupted in such a way that the steam slot located in the intermediate tube closed by opening the lid or by turning its bearing eye will.

The steam generator a, in which the steam necessary for the development of juice is generated, consists of a water container in which crosswise for faster steam development

ίο the pipes h are installed in which the water circulates.

From here the steam is passed through two or more tubes b, b through the cover c, which expediently consists of two halves, into the fruit pot f . For this purpose, the inner bottom of the lid c is provided with small holes.

The upper cross piece of the steam supply pipes b, b and the bearing eyes of the cover cover c each form a passage cock which is opened when the cover is closed and closed when the cover is opened (Fig. 4). The space between the vapor generator α and the cover c is used to accommodate the fruit and juice pots, which are provided in a known manner with a sieve and filter. If the fruit and juice pots are inserted and the lid c is closed, the steam flows through the fruit container and juices the fruits in it.

The fruit pot f is through a transverse wall k

divided into two chambers. In this transverse wall there are channels through which the excess steam is fed through the cross channel I to the exhaust steam pipe g, which opens into the condensation space i.

In this way, the annoying escape of steam for every kitchen becomes the same prevented.

The division of the fruit pot into two compartments in connection with the two-part End cover enables undisturbed, continued operation in which the alternating one or the other chamber can be opened and reloaded without the This interrupts the development of steam.

Since the fruit and juice pots are freely between the steam generator α and the end cover c and their outer walls do not come into contact with the steam, these pots remain relatively cool and their contents can never overheat, whereby a perfect juice is obtained.

Claims (3)

Patent Claims: 1. Device for the preparation of fruit juice by means of steam, characterized in that the steam from a steam generator («) by means of tubes (b) through the cover (c) is passed into the interior of the fruit pot containing the fruit, and that the exhaust steam through channels which are located in the transverse wall built into the fruit pot . an exhaust pipe connected to this transverse wall is led to a room (i) for precipitation. 2. Device for the preparation of fruit juice according to claim 1, characterized in that that the steam is supplied through the hinge of the lid through which the steam flows, and that the passage of steam can only take place when the lid is closed, but is interrupted by opening the lid. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that an annular space (i) for precipitating the excess steam is attached to the steam generator, so that it also serves as a handle in such a way that it has an upwardly curved bottom that is raised from the base of the steam generator.
