HANS ADELIMANN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR T HAM BOILER CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
OORNED-IBEEF COOKER.
Application filed June 4,
To all whom it may c0ncem:- I
Be it known that I, HANS ADELMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corned-Beef Cookers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that type of appliances known as .meat cookers or harm boilers and has special reference to that species of such machines as are now recognized under the term corned beef cookers in which the body is oblong rectangular andrelatively wide in proportion to its depth and provided with a longitudinal partition.
Among the objects of the invention is to provide a corned beef cooker with a fixed rigidly connected partition in the longitudinal center of the receptacle and whose cover, movable downward toward the bottom of the receptacle for pressing the commodity while being cooked, is provided also with a partition meeting or overlapping the body partition.
Another object of this invention is to improve the construction of the receptacle with reference to the material from which it is made and adapting such material for cooperation with rack-like fasteners pivotally connected to a cross bar attached resiliently to the cover.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, and while the invention is not restricted to the exactdetails of construction disclosed or suggested herein, still for the purpose of illustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view.
Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is afragmentary detail of the looking mechanism for the cover.
Referring mow more specifically to the drawings the receptacle 10 is of substantially rectangular form in plan and having side and end walls approximately vertical, the

bottom being closed and the open top being surrounded with a flange 11 projecting outward in a horizontal plane except at the centers of the ends where they are bent downward forming engagement lips 12. The receptacle is formed of any suitable relatively thin material such as metal and is fitted along its longitudinal center with a vertical partition 13 whose upper edge 1s straight and lies along a plane somewhat or close above the vertical center of the receptacle. Thus the receptacle is sub-divided into two {equal portions or cavities into' 'cover also may be constructed of any suit-' able relatively thin metal and has formed as an ntegral part thereof a downwardly pro ect1ng partition 16. This partition is straight and flat'and rigid'and is designed to co-operate with the receptacle partition 13- when the cover is inserted and moved downward toward the partition 13. The vertical width of the artition 16 is such that it preferably over aps the upper portion of the partition 13 in practice. Hence the partition 16 is formed slightly offset from the longitudinal center of the cover so that the lower edge of the partition 16 will pass the upper edge of the partition 13 on either side irrespective of how the cover is introduced into the receptacle. receptacle is suitably filled or supplied'with the commodities to be cooked and the cover is put intoplace, the contents of the two sides of the receptacle will be formed into two substantially equal rectangular masses, the cover partition though offset from the center being so relatively thin will hardly be noticeable in the finished commodity. In other words, the two portions of cooked meat or the like will be practically the same size and shape. Moreover, the manner of forming or pressing these contents, including the partition extending downward from the cover, provides a means for facilitating the delivery of the meat masses from the After the v 3B and the adjacent arm 17.
receptacle after the cover is withdrawn. That is to say, considering the cover and especially. its partition as a wedge in its re ation to the meat masses, when the wedge 5 is withdrawn the contents of the receptacle are relieved in respect to the receptacle walls and hence slip the more freely therefrom when the receptacle is inverted. Moreover, the free edge portions of the partitions 13 and .16 are beveled and tapered and formed relatively sharp, both to facilitate assem; bla e of the parts and to emphasize the wedge effect just described. It will be ap preciated also that the mass cooked and .15 molded in the compartment into which the artition 16 projects will be relieved directly b the withdrawal of the partition -16 and ence will be delivered from the receptacle easier and quicker than the mass from the other compartment, a matter of considerable importance if it be desired to keep the two masses separate. 1
Attached resiliently to the cover .14 is a handle or bar 17 of double cross formation or comprising a relatively straight central portion having oil shoots or arms 17 adjacent to each end and through which are rojected upward loosely a like number of asten'ers such as bolts or screws 18' which to are secured into bosses 19 formed on the up r surface of the cover. The extreme on s of the bar 17 are turned or rolled into knuckles 20. A coil spring or cushion 21 surrounds each bolt 18 ibetween 'the cover By providing these lateral extensions or arms of' the bar 17 and laterally spaced pair of springs 21,
the cover is'more steadily guided inits com-i pressing action than would otherwise be at true, taking into consideration the relative width of t e receptacle and the fact that the two sides thereof are or may be filled independently or unequally.
l Suspended from a horizontal pivot pin 22 extending through the knuckle 20 at each end of the bar 17 is a rack-like fastener 23. Each of these racks is formed at its upper end with knuckles 24 between which is aligned the knuckle'20. The fasteners 23 may be variously constructed, but
preferably as shown they are ofsheet metal, portions of which are struck inward along the vertical center forming teeth 25 for 00- o ration severally with the adjacent lip 12 These teeth 25 are thus freely and cheaply formed and they have strong co-operative relation with the lips in practice. 7 Moreover, the fasteners- 23 have smooth outlines and are freely 00 manipulated.
The operation ofthe device will be readilk-y understood, for after the receptacle is led as above described and the cover is inserted and the artitions 13 and 16 meet 08' 'or overlap accor ing to the fulness of the receptacle, the operator will bear downward upon the ends of the bar 17, placing the contents of the receptacle under suflicient compression and he will then cause the enga lne nt between the fasteners 23 and the lips 12. Thus the cover through its resilient connection with the bar 17 will be free to move .relatively to the bar and receptacle while the cooking operation proceeds either to move upward under expansion of the meat or downward in case there is contraction or shrinkage of the meat.
I claim:
1. The combination of a receptacle having an outwardly formed stiffening flange at its upper portion, portions of the flange being deflected downward forming engagement lips, a cover for the receptacle, and members carried by the cover andco-operating with the lips for holding the cover in fixed relation to the receptacle.
2. The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein the members for fastening the cover comprise racks formed of sheet metal,
the teeth of the racks being struck inward from the main portion thereof remote from the edges and directed upward to selectively engage with the lip portions of the flange.
3. The combination with a receptacle flat partition having its upper free edge tapered and sharpened and lying substantially in a horizontal plane close above the "vertical center of the receptacle, and a cover having a depending marginal flange movable downward withinthe receptacle toward.
'said receptacle partition and having an in-" tegral partition projecting downward below. the flange aforesaid and into close gliding contact with either side of the first mentioned partition, the cover partition having its free edge beveled to facilitate its gliding co-operation along the receptacle partition and constituting a wedge which when withdrawn with the cover relieves the beef mass adjacent thereto to facilitate the delivery thereof.
