Description
y 1933- L. c. MAZZOLA MOISTURE TAKE-UP FOR JELLIES AND CONSERVES Filed Nov. 1 1931 L. Charls Mazzolw like conserve.
Patented July 11, 1933 UNITED STATES LINCOLN CHARLES MAZZOLA, 0F GENESEO, NEW YORK MOISTURE TAKE-UP FOR "JELLIES AND GO NSERVES Application filed November 11, 1931.. Serial No. 574,421.
It is well known that conserves, of the nature of jelly, when set give off moisture which collects upon the top of the confection and is objectionable because of the effect produced upon the closure, such as a paper or metal cap, the paper cap being discolored, and the metal cap caused to corrode. Moreover, this accumulation of moisture generally known as bleeding results in the. for mation of mold or fungous growth which detracts from the market value of commercial conserves.
Therefore it is the purpose of the present invention to prevent accumulation of moisture upon the top of jellies, marmalades,
jams and like conserves by absorbing the moisture as the confectlon bleeds.
In accordance with the present 1nvent1on a moisture absorbing medium is placed uponthe top of the jelly, or other conserve, after the latter has been packaged, to take up the moisture as the latter separates.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention and on reference thereto,
Figure 1 is an elevational view of a glass containing a jelly or like conserve and an absorbent covering, partly in section.
Fig. 2 is a detail View of a modification in which the usual cap is dispensed with.
Fig. 3 is a detail view of a further modification in which both the cap and usual paraffin seal are omitted and the absorbent covering placed directly on top of the jelly or Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawing by like reference characters.
Referring to the drawing the numeral 1 designates a glass or analogous container usually provided for holding a jelly or like conserve when the same is packaged. The contents 2 of the container may consist of jelly, marmalade, jam or like confection and is covered by means of a seal 3 of paraflin. A closure l is applied to the container 1 and may consist of paper or metal. In accordance with the invention a layer 5 of absorbent material is placed upon the seal 3 and is of a diameter to fit snugly within the container 1. The absorbent medium 5 usually consists of blotting paper but it is obvious that it may consist of any material capable of readily absorbing and retaining moisture.
In the modifications shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the closure or cap 4 is dispensed with and in Fig. 3 the paraiiin seal 3 is omitted. The ab- I sorbent medium 5 is placed directly upon the seal 3 in Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 showsan arrangement in which the absorbent covering 5 is placed directly upon the top of the conserve 2.
In any arrangement of the absorbent it takes up the. moisture separated from the confection, therebypreventing any accumulation which is detrimental to a closure 1 of paper, metal or other material.
The invention prevents deterioration of jellies and like conserves as ordinarily packaged for market since discoloration of paper caps and corrosion of metal caps are prevented. Moreover, the formation of mold or fungousgrowth is obviated-this being due to the prevention of any accumulation of moisture the same being absorbed as soon as separated from the conserve.
'What is claimed is: a
1. The combination with a container holding a jelly or like conserve, of a covering extending over the top of the contents of the container and consistingvof an absorbent medium for taking up moisture as the same separates from the conserve.
2. The combination with a container holding jelly or analogous conserve and a paraffin seal on top of the jelly, of a layer of absorbent material covering the seal and adapted to take up moisture as the same is separated from the conserve.
3. The combination with a container holding jelly or analogous conserve and a paraffin seal on top of the jelly, of a layer of absorbent material covering the seal and adapted to take up moisture as the same is separated from the conserve, and a closure covering the top of the container.
4. The combination with a container holding a jelly or like conserve, and a covering of blotting paper extending over the top of the contents ofthe container for absorbing
