JOHN A. PARKER, OF BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO.
BREAD PRESERVER AND PROTECTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,637, dated December 30, 1890.
Application filed September 6, 1889. Serial No. 323,221. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN A. PARKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Bellefontaine, in the county of Logan and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Bread Preserver and Protector, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved receptacle for preserving fruit, vegetables, honey, and other articles from insects and for keeping bread, cakes, and other articles from drying out.
Figure 1 is a side View; Fig. 2, a sectional View through the center; Fig. 3, an enlarged detail view of screw and cap.
The construction and operation of my device are as follows:
A can or other receptacle A is provided with a flange B, attached to the outside near the top and forming a'valley 0 between it and the side of. the can. The lid D has a downwardly-projecting rim E, that fits in the valley 0. On the top of the lid is a handle F, and-projecting up through this is a piston G, having a plug or stopper H on its lower end that is attached to a spring R, fastened at one end to the lid D. In the top or lid also is a vent provided with a screw top K and covered at the bottom by a screen 0. The
screw top K is hollow and has holes L therein (shown in Fig. 3) and is provided with a screw cap or cover M. A similar screw P and cap and screen Q are located in the bottom of the can. I
In using my device for keeping bread, cakes,
or other articles from drying out, I fill the valley 0 nearly full of water, screw the caps M tightly down on the vents P K, insert the articles into the can, and put on the lid. The rim E of the can submerges itself in the water and the air is excluded from the inside, as are insects. WVhen it is desired to lift the lid, the plunger G is pressed down, depressing the stopper or plug II, opening the hole in the lid and allowing it to rise without drawing the Water with it. \Vithout an opening to let. the air into the can the raising of the lid causes a suction that draws up the water sufficiently to splash it into the can.
IVhen articles are put in the can that need air, the screwcaps M can be unscrewed slightly and air admitted through the holes K in the sides of the screw top or vent; or the piston G, adjacent to the handle, and the valve H, connected with the piston and held closed by a spring, as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN A. PARKER.
