THOMAS BURKHARD, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.

CONl-'ECTIONERS KETTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 476,917, dated June 14, 1892.

Application filed December 14, 1891. Serial No. 414,903. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS BURKHARD, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Candy-Kettles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in candy-kettles in which provision is made for both cooking and cooling the candy.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawing, which shows a kettle in vertical section, with the heating or cooling coils in operative position relative thereto.

The body of the kettle is represented by A, and is provided at its bottom with a trapdoor a., hinged to the bottom at a', and provided at its free end with a clamp-nut cand bolt c3 for closing it liquid-tight. y

lVithin the body of the kettle there are located an inner pipe-coil B and an outer pipe-` coil B', spaced from each other and from the interior wall of the kettle. Pipes b and b', leading to the coils B and B', pass through the bottom ot' the kettle a short distance apart from each other, and are united outside by a connection B2. One of the pipes-b, for example-is continued and enters a cross-pipe C, provided on one side of the juncture ot the pipe l) therewith with a cock c and upon the opposite side of said juncture with a cock c'. Pipes b and b5, communicating with the opposite ends of the coils B and B', extend through the side of the kettle at its upper portion and are connected outside of the kettle by a connection b, one ot the pipes-b4, for examplebeing continued beyond the connection Z1 and provided with a cock c2, and the connection h6, being continued beyond its juncture with the pipe b, is provided with a cock In addition to the coils within the kettle A, I further provide the kettle with an exterior coil B2, located in proximity to the outer surface of the body of the kettle and conveniently held in position by means of straps D, riveted or bolted to the kettle, as at d, at points intermediate of the winds of the coil and looped around the winds. The straps D may be continued from the top to the bottom of the coil,

as represented `at the right of the body of the kettle in the drawing, or they may be made to embrace the winds at intervals from the top to the bottom of the coil, as represented at the left of the body of the kettle in the drawing. The exterior coil B2 communicates at its lower end with a connection b2 and at its upper end with a connection o6. The connection b2, common to the pipes of the three coils, is provided with a petcock c4.

In operation, when it is desired to cook the candy within the kettle the cocks c, c2, and cl are closed and the cocks c and c3 are opened. Steam entering` through the cock c3 or the pipe in which it is located will pass through the connection b into the three coils B, B', and B2, and thence through the connection b2 into the cross-pipe O and out through the exhaust-cock c or pipe in which it is seated. When it is desired to cool the candy within the kettle, the cocks c and c3 are closed and thel cocks c and c2 opened. Tater entering through the cock cor the pipe in which it is located will pass upwardly through the three coils and escape through the cock c2 or pipe in which it is located. The cock c4 may be utilized at any time as a drain-cock.

By the above arrangement of pipes I am enabled to quickly cook a body ot candy and as quickly cause it to congeal, the transition from cooking to cooling being eltected by a simple turning of the cocks.

What I claim isy The combination, with the bodyof the kettle, of a plurality ot series ot pipe-coils, one

of said series extending upwardly and downwardly within the body ot the kettle and another o said series extending upwardly and downwardly along the exterior of the kettle and in proximity thereto, exteriorconnections common to the interior and exterior seri-es of coils, and cocks for regulating the transmission of hot and cold mediums at pleasure through the coils, substantially as set forth.
