ORVILLE \V. VAN DENBURGH, OF SOI'IUYLERVILLE, NEIV YORK.
BEVERAGE-PITCHER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 451,584, dated May 5, 1891.
Application filed November 13, 1890. Serial No. 371,322. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ORVILLE W. VAN DEN- BURGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Schuylerville, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beverage-Pitchers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawin "s.
Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view of my improved beer-pitcher; Fig. 2, a detail view of the removable division-plate carrying a gate-valve; Fig. 3, a vertical section taken on a line at right angles to the one on which Fig. 1 is taken; Fig. 4, a horizontal section taken on the line :1; 00, Fig. 1; and Fig. 5, a detail sectionalview on the line 00' 00, Fig. 1, slightly enlarged.
The essential object of the invention is to provide a pitcher or other vessel with simple means, whereby the liquids, (such as beer, ale, &c.,) poured therein will be readily separated from their impurities and have their foam and froth condensed in such a manner that the liquids may be obtained from the spout in a clear purified condition free of all froth and foam, as will be more fully hereinafter described.
WVhile I shall particularly describe my invention as being adapted for use in connection with beer and ale, I do not Wish it understood that it is confined to these beverages, inasmuch as it may be employed with advantage in connection with other beverages, such as tea, cofiee, the.
In the drawings annexed, a designates a metallic or other vessel provided with a suitable handle and cover, and having formed on its outside a vertical spout b, which extends the full length of the vessel and communicates therewith. Between this spout and the interior of the vessel is arranged a vertical partition or division-plate c, which works in vertical ways or groovcsb b',whereby it may be readily removed, when desired, for cleaning or other purposes. This partition is provided with two openings 0 a" near its lower end, one opening being arranged above the other. A sliding gate or valve (1 is secured on the front side of this partition and is arranged to work in vertical ways cl, carried by the partition. This gate is adapted to close one or the otherof the openings 0 c" in the partition, as the exigencies of the case may require, and it is shifted by means of a vertical rod d, which passes up through an eye (1, secured to the partition, and through an opening in a plate 0 secured on top of the partition, the upper end of the rod being pro vided with an operating-knob. A stop (1 is formed on the rod to prevent it being raised carried by the partition, and serves as a cover for the spout.
The cover has secured to it a depending cylindrical vessel a", which extends down about on a level with the upper edge of the upper opening a in the partition, and which is provided with a hinged bottom of wire gauze or other reticulated material a. This bottom serves as a strainer, and it is hinged to the part c" by a hinge a, and is held ina closed position by means of a spring-catch a". The upper part of the vessel a fits the vessel to closely, and its lower part tapers slightly, as shown, so that this vessel a", together with the cover to which it is attached, may be readily lifted out of the outer vessel entirely, or it may be simply raised a short distance to increase the capacity of the pitcher or pot, as may be desired.
In the bottom of the vessel is placed a false bottom 6-, which extends above or on a level with the lower opening 0 in the partition, and which is provided with a handle 6 for convenience in removing, the. In case this bottom is not sufficiently tight to hold itself in place in the bottom of the pitcher, a re movable spring-wedge so may be inserted between it and the interior of the pitcher for the purpose of preventing it from becoming displaced. In an opening in the top of the false bottom is inserted a strainer of suitable reticulated or wire-gauze material, and immediately below this strainer a circular chamber c is formed by a circular partition-wall 6 secured within the false bottom and arranged eccentrically to its center, as shown in Fig. 4c. Secured within an opening formed in the wall (2 adjacent to the spout is a strainer f,jmade of reticulated or gauze material. This strainer f leads into another chainberf', formed by the inner wall e and the outer wall of the false bottom. This latter too high. A plate 0 is hinged to the plate 0,
ioo
chamberf is divided off and separated from its rear or narrower part f 1 by means of partitions f f these partitions preventing the liquid from entering the chamber f and constituting it a mere air-chamber. These partitions may not be employed, if it is desired, as they are not essential to the operation of the apparatus; but I prefer to employ them, as otherwise the chamber f would be n11- necessarily large. I11 an opening formed in the outer wall of the false bottom adjacent to the lower opening a, leading into the spout, is secured another strainer f, through which the liquid must pass on its wayinto the spout.
The operation of the apparatus will be readily understood from the foregoing, and it is as follows: The beverage is poured into the pitcher through a valved opening a in the cover and it first strikes and passes through the strainer a, which serves to separate and condense most of the froth and foam. Now if the gate d be raised so as to cover the upper opening 0, as shown in Fig. 2, the liquid will pass down through the three screens or strainers c", f, and f and through the lower opening a into the spout. In thus passing through the several strainers all the foam and froth is thoroughly condensed or caught, and nothing but the pure beverage permitted to enter the spout. v
The parts may be readily removed whenever necessary for the purpose of cleaning and removing the scum and other impurities from the screens or strainers.
The strainers may not only be removed for cleaning purposes, but the partition 0 may also be removed whenever it is desired to clean the spout, which is a special advantage derived from my construction.
In case the beverage does not contain much gas, and it is therefore only necessary to pass it through the screen a', the gate d is pushed down, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to open the upper opening and close the lower one, and thereby permit the liquid to pass into the spout through the upper opening without passing through the strainers in the false bottom.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination of a vessel having formed on its outside a spout extending its entire length, a removable partition working in ways between the interior of the vessel and the spout, this partition being provided with two openings 0 0" near its lower end, a vertically-sliding gate working in ways on the said removable partition and adapted to close either of the openings therein, and a removable false bottom in the vessel provided with strainers, whereby the liquid may be directed through the strainers or not, as may be dcsired, substantially as described.
2. The combination of a vessel provided with a spout extending its full length and communicating with its interior near its bottom by two openings 0 c, a sliding gate adapted to close either of the said openings, a false bottom in the vessel provided with strainers, and a cover provided with a depending vessel closed by a hinged strainer, as and for the purposes herein set forth.
Intestimony whereoflai'fix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
