UNITED STATES OSCAR B. ELMER, 0F NEW ORLEANS,LOUISIANA..
AIR DRIER FOR CANDY JARS. Y
Application led May 14, 1923.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, OSCAR B.ELMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Orleans, State of Louisiana, have in-A vented a new and useful Improvement in Air Driers for Candy Jars, of which the following is a` specification.
The invention relates to devices for controlling the humidity of receptacles, especially candy jars, and its object is to provide a simple device which sha-ll be adapted for use in vario-us receptacles, shall be adjustable for use in various forms of standard candy jars and which shall be highly efficient in absorbing moisture in order that the air in the receptacles shall remain dry for maintaining the contents in proper state.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device for the purpose described in which a novel form of absorbent material is confined or supported in novelmanner.
The invent-ion consists of a perforated and divisible container havingA resilient andv elastic supporting means thereon for supporting it within the cover of a receptacle vand an absorbent medium in powdered form enclosed in a fabric receptacle disposed within the container.
The invention is illustrated in the accom- `panying drawings in which Figure 1 is a fractional view of a candy jar or other receptacle having the invention applied thereto; Fig. 2 a plan view of the container and Fig. 3 an elevational view of the container broken away to illustrate the enclosed absorbent material therein.
Referring to the drawings, l indicates any receptacle, such as a standard candy jar and 2 the cover therefor that is usually hollow. In order to regulate the humidity of the air within the jar I provide the container 3 that consists of two cup-shaped members l and 5, member 5 being internally threaded at its mouth for engagement with the external threads at the mouth of the member 4. Each member is apertured at selected points,` as shown at 6. Four or any preferred numberV of arms? are secured to the upper end of the member 4, the arms being formed of resilient material, such as spring steel, and each having an elastic member 8 at its free end. The arms ex- Serial No. 638,827.
tend downwardly and outwardly from the container, their maximum spread being greater than the inner diameter of the hollow cover of the standard candy ar, at the lower lip 9 of that cover. Hence, when the container is pressed within the cover the elastic -ends of the resilient arms tightly grip the inner wall of the said lip under the influence of the tension in the arms 7 and the container is thereby firmly supported within the cover in a depending position, the contents of the container being exposed to the air within the jar or receptacle through the apertures 6 in the container.
The absorbent medium consists of a. suitable hydroscopic salt in its natural state combined or mixed with a suitable inert mineral salt, each ingredient of the mixture or combination being finely divided or pow-` dered. This mixture or combination is enclosed in a suitable envelope l0, preferably a fabric bag or sack.
By using the above mixture or combination I am enabled to eliminate the use of a binding material that is commonly required in other absorbents for the purposes described.
The arms 7 may be detached from the container and when they are removed the container maybe placed on or in with the contents of the receptacle, in which posi-v tion of the container its absorbent material will take up the moisture in the air in the same manner vas where the container is installed in the cover.
What I claim is: Y
The combination with a hollow cover of a two part perforated container, the perforated parts being threaded together and adapted to receive and fully enclose a Apowdered absorbing material, a plurality of resilient members secured to the top of one of said parts Vand fla-ring downwardly and outwardly therefrom, and an elastic mem ber on ythe free end of each said resilient member adapted to engage the inner wall of the lower portion of the cover and space the container therefrom.
In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 7th day of May, 1923.
` YOSCAR B. ELMER.
