This invention pertains to an apparatus showing the position of the valve under-diffor curing meats and more particularly to ferent operatmg conditions. an improved apparatus for the treating of Referrlng more particularly to the draw- I meats by the in ection of a fluid into the arlugs and especlally toFigures 1 and 2, I 5 t i th f, show a container for curing fluids, or a brine It is the object of the present invention to tank 10. Positioned above the tank is provide an improved type of apparatus by a portable pumping apparatus, generally inmeans of whichmeats may be cured by the (heated at 11. The pumping apparatus 11 injection of .a fluid curing substance into the conslsts of a small electric motor 12 and a 0 t i f th t, pump 13. The pump 13 shown is of the gear I attain my object through the provision type, but 1t 1s to be understood that any of afluid container andamotor driven pump other sultable type of pump may be emadapted to draw fluid from the container ployed. l and force it through a conduit and a vein The pump 13 s provided with an mlet 5 needle connected therewith.

The hose 16 is provided with A s ecially designed valve is placed in the a strainer 17 at 1ts mtake end to prevent the con uit between the pump and the needle flow of undesirablesubstances, that may acand this valve may be operated to cut ofi mulate ln'the brine tank, mto the pump. the su ply of fluid to the needle and circula- Th Outlet port of the pump 13 connect tion t rough the fluid container and pump.

The construction of the vem needle 18 1s One form which my invention may assume best shown 1n Figure 3 of the draw ngs, I! is exemplified in the accompanying drawings Whlch It may be seen that the needle tself is and following specification, from which a tubular, or hollow, and-1s connected to the better understanding of the operation and hose y 0f 8 e mpple 23, a threadconstruction of the device may be had. f lng 24, a threaded tube 25 and a pack- In these drawings-Figure1 is a perspecnut A b 56 clamp suchas 1s 88 tive view of an apparatus embodying my inshown at 27 mamiams Fugagement between ventionthe hose 20 and the nlpple 23.

The valve body 28 is cylindrical and Flgure 4 Is an eleviltlon 9 t e f hasamachined inner surface. "A valve memtrol valve and electrlc switch cooperatlng ber 32 is closely fitted to and mounted for theliewlths rotation within the valve body.

seen that by moving ports 29a,
29,30 and 31 formed in the valve The exterior of the cap 34 is provided with stops 36, which limit the movement of the handle 33 and consequently the rotation of the valve member 32 within the f valve body. The port 29a within the valve member is of such a size that it is in communication with the intake port 29 of the valve at all times during its limited move-' ment while the ports 30a and 3111 are of ap proximately the same size as the ports30- and 31.
. Referring to Figure 1, it may be seen that the intake port 29of the valve is in commu-- A nication with the pump. The discharge port 30 leads to the needle 18, and the return portsure passing through the needle flows through the arteries following the natur course taken by blood in these arteries; When the arteries become full, the pressure When the fluid is seen to ooze from the outer surface of the meat, the meat has been thoroughly treated and is-removed, and this procanother piece of meat to It has been foundthat for different types of meat, diflei ent pressures are required to procure the best results. 111 order to obtain varying pressures, the handle 33 of the valve 21 is moved to cause various positions of the ports 30a and 31a with respect to the ports 30 be adapted. to
and 31. Referring to Figure 6, it may the handle 33 a slight distance/to the left, the port 30 would be 0 en, while the port 31 would be closed.
o'vementof the handle to the right would reverse the positions of these ports, and by "moving the handle to intermediate positionsi either one of the ports may be". opened the other closed to. any desired degree.
When the port 30 is open, the. full pressure of the pump13 is exerted throu h the needle 18. When the port 30 is partially "closed, some of the fluid under pressure is permitted to es- Y cape through, the return port 31 and the hose 37 back the'line between the pump and the vein neeinto the brine tank. The pressure in die is indicated on the gauge 22 for the convenience of the operator.
A further advantage of thevalve 21 lies I in the fact that the ports 30 and 310 are so 30amama for cooperation with The vein neev 31 that when it is desired to shut off the flow through the port 30 altogether, a connection is formed between the'ports 31 and 31a before the port 30 is entirely losed, making it impossible to build up an e cessive pressure between the pump 13 and the valve 21.
The valve '21 has an electric snap switch 38 of standard design secured to it. This switch is interposed in a conducting wire 38,
positloned with respect to the ports 30 and which forms a part of the circuit to the motor 12. The switchis operated by means of a lever 40 resiliently held in an upward position by av spring 41'. A projection 42 on the handle 33 of the valve contacts with this .lever when the port 30 is open. This 1 pletes the circuit through the conducting wire 39, energizing the motor 12. When the port 30 is closed, the lever 40 on the switch is re-' leased and the motor is dmenergized; this, as
soon as the fluid under ressure is cut off from the needle 18, the mtor 12 is automatically 'de-energized and the pumping operation ceases.
