LEO BRAND, or NEW YORK, N. Y.
SMOKEHOUSE.
Application and April 2, 1925. Serial No. 20,272.
To all whom it may concemn Be itknown that I, LEO BRAND, a citlzen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,borough of Manhattan, 1n
the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Smokehouse, of
which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to smokehouses, an
1 'object of the invention being to provide within asmokehouse an improved arrangement of rotary frames into or onto which.
.racks, trees or other devices designed for supporting meats to be smokedcan be run,
supported and revolved during the smoking operation.
A further object is to provide improved mounting for a rotary frame within a smokehouse and improved means for imparting 20. rotary motion to the frame whereby the en tire weight of the frame and its contents are supported either at the base of the frame or at the top of the frame or both at the base and top of the frame, but in any event the revolving means isentirely relieved of any weight of the rotary frame and its contents. A further object is to provide a Smokehouse with an improved arrangement of rotary frames therein and which is adapted for use in connection with any standard type .of rack, carrier, tree,truck or other support for the meat to be smoked and which lends itself .to the employment and use of standard equipment in accordance with the needs of the user. p
lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features .of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal section, illustrating my improved smokehouse;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the smokehouse shown in Figure 1; I
Figure 3 is a view in horizontal section on the line 33 of Figure 1;
Figure 4c is a view in longitudinal section illustrating my invention as applied to a plurality of smokehouses located on diffen ent floors or at different levels;
Figure 5 is a view in horizontal section,
on the line of Figure 4.
P aees the easier 2; er press Smokehouse. This casing may be of any size and shape and may be constructed in various different ways. I preferably make the smokehouse of rectangular form and of sheet.metal, but I, of course, do not limit myself to the particularconstruction of casing.
In the lower portion of the casing 1, spaced. from the bottom 2 thereof, I provide a series of horizontal bars 3, which may. constitute channel. bars as shown, whichare parallel and spaced apart and secured upon 7 a suitable angular frame {1. I These bars 3 support a circular rail or track 5 6 represents my improved rotary frame which is of general rectangular form and is supported by any desired number of wheels 7 which are mounted to rotate on. the track 5. These wheels. 7 may constitute caster wheels, are preferably ball bearing,.and are so shaped and arranged asto reduce friction to a minimum but at the same time maintaintheir position on the track 5 to allow the frame 6 to be. freely and easily revolved.
The frame 6 is of skeleton form and open and of a suitablewidth and height in ac cordance with the dimensions of the casing 1 to permit the frame to turn within the casing. A series of hangers 8 are secured to and depend from the top 9 of easing 1 and support a circular track or. rail 10 which is preferably of the same diameter as the track 5 and parallel therewith.
On top of the rotary frame 6a series of brackets 11 are secured, and wheels 12 are mounted in these brackets 11 and are mounted to rotate on the .rail or 'tracklO. The weightof the. rotary frame 6 and its contents .may be divided betweenthetracks 10 and 5,,oreither track may serve as asup port and the other as a guide, in accord ance with the desire of the user. It is perfectly obvious that either one of these tracks may be dispensed with, if desired, but in, most cases it will be found advisable to use both. 7 A vertical shaft 1 11 projects centrally through the top of casing-1 and has a crank arm 15 thereon adapted to. engage a finger 16 on the top of. the rotary frame 6. It will be noted that this finger. 16 is located away from the center or agris gf the rotary frame and near theouter edge of the latter whee its .ie srsmivei the arm 15 will engage the finger 16 and impart a rotary motion to the frame;
Should it be desired to manually turn the frame, this can be done by swinging the frame first in one direction'until stopped by the arm 15, and then in the opposite direction, so that whenever desired a manual manipulation orturningmovement of the rotary frame is possible. I I
The shaft 14 may, of course, be driven in any desired manner but I haveshown for the purpose an electric motor 17 mounted on top of the casing l and having a worm 18 on. the shaft 19 of said motorimparting motion to aworm wheel 20 on the shaft 14.
The rotary frame 6 is provided at its upper; portion with hangers 21; which support a straight'rail 22, fixed to said hangers and located in a horizontal position as shown, This rail 22 is adapted to register with.-a rai1 23 outside of thesmokehouse so 'thata cage 24 if suspended from-a wheeled carrier 25 may be run along the track 23 onto the track 22 and positioned inside of the rotary frame 6., a 1 I would have it distinctly understood that, Awhile :I shall refer to the part 24 as a cage I use thisterm in its broadest possible sense device, and in order that the rail, 23 may to include any receptacle,- frame or carrier on which meat or meat products can be supported or suspended during the smokingoperatlon.
The casing lie-provided with a pair of hinged doors 26 which may be opened to admit the cage or other article supporting project into the smokehouse I provide a hinged gateorshutter 27 normally. closing an opening 28 in the front of the casing 1 v the; latter movesfrom one rail to the other,-
as will be readily understood. To hold the cage 24 from independentaccidental move-' A ment I, provide removable rods 29 which may be located in any notches of parallel notched bars 30 which are secured .to the I frame, 6,; as clearly indicated in Figures 1 and ,2; Also I preferably provide hooks 31 whichare connected to thecasing 1 and which are adapted to engageeyes 32 on the framefi to; holdthe. latter against turning motio-n while the cage or othercarrier is being moved into andout of the smokeh0use. p 3
On ;the;.lower k portion for bottom of v the rotary frame 6 I provide channel rails 33 .whichmayconstitutea track and allow an Ordinary; wheeled truck to be runaintothe smokehouse and {supported onthis track within the rotary frame. In other words, I
. I have provided-not only meansfor moving aisuspendedcarrier into or out of the smokehouse but alsomeans for permltting an ondi nary, wheel d) tru k: hich uns 0nthe ground to be rolld'into the smokeho se 0 1 large enough to admit the carrier 25 as,
the rails 33, and supported in the rotary frame and revolved during the smoking op eration. i I
It will thus be noted that with my improvedsmokehouse I make provision for the use of almost any standard equipment which maybe run into the smokehouse and supportedby the rotary frame and caused to turn during the smoking operation so as to smoke evenly all of the food products.
My invention is of course not limited to the manner of creating smoke within the smokehousefbut I haveshown forthe pur pose a. burner 34, and'which may burn sawdust therein, in the lower portion of the smokehouse, or any other suitable means may be provided for raising the desired smoke. q
. In Figures 4-and 5, I illustrate my in-. vention ;-in a slightly modified'form; The construction of each, smokehouse is. precisely like that ab'overdescribed, but I show smokehouses A and B at different levels or on different floors, and provide a drive shaft 35 similar to the shaft 14 which not only drives the rotary frame 6 in the smoke housenB but also: projects into thebot-tom ofthe smokehouse A and has; an arm 36 thereon engaging a finger 37 on the bottom of the rotary frame 6' in the smokehouse A 39 over the same and hinged rail sections 40 which may connect the rails 33 with fixed ,rails'41 on the ground or floor 42.
r Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general form of the parts described without departing from my invention and henceI do not limit'myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alteration; as'fairly fall within the spirit andscope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A smokehouse, including a casing, a circular track in the casing, and aframe in the casing having rotary movement on the track.v
2. A smokehouse, including a casing, a circular trackin the lower portion of the casing, wheels mounted to runion saidtrack, and a member supported on the wheels and adapted to receive articles to be-smoked.
