APPARATUS FOR CANNING FRU-IT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 524,052, dated August 7, 1894.
Application filed April 2, 1894. Serial No. 506,112. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, ELLEN M. WILLIsToN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wellsborongh,in the county of Tioga and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Canning Fruit; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in apparatus for canning fruits and the like.
It has for its especial object to provide a device that shall be suitable for use in the domestic kitchen, easily operated and moderate in price, and that shall relieve the house- A keeper of a large part of the drudgery of canning. In order to attain this object I have devised the construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein-- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the boiler part of my invention. Fig. 2 is a like view of the removable rack for holding the cans of fruit. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one corner of the bottom of said rack, showing more clearly the construction of the transverse ribs for supporting the rack; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bottom of the rack from the under side, before being nished, show- -ing the transverse and longitudinal ribs for supporting and stiffening the rack.
Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts where they occur in the different views.
A is a boiler, provided with a cover, made of copper, tin or the like. I make it preferably with square corners, as shown, in order to admit a larger number of cans than if rounded at the ends. I provide it with a faucet, B, for letting 0E the Water at the right stage of the canning process Referring to the rack, C is the bottom portion thereof. f
D is an upright longitudinal partition securely fastened thereto. The ends of the bottom C are crimped and folded back upon themselves on the under side and soldered as 5o shown in Fig. 3, to form the transverse supporting ribs E. Alongitudinal stiffening rib F is then soldered in the position shown in Fig. 4. The edges of the bottom C are also turned up at right angles, as shown at G; the object being to make the whole rack as rigid as possible.
H, H, H, H, (Fig. 2) are transverse partitions, the object of which is to keep the cans lupright and also from hitting against one anoperation of canning with it is as follows:
The emptyrack is iirst placed in the boiler. The cans having been packed with fresh fruit and filled up with a sirup and the covers screwed on, they are placed in the rack, one in each compartment. The boiler is then lled with cold water to within about two inches of the top of the cans, the cover is put on and the water is brought to a boil. I allow the fruit to cook from ten to twenty minutes after the boiling point has been reached. When I find that the fruit is sufficiently cooked I draw the water ed the boiler by VAmeans of` the faucet, B, and the fruit cools gradually. If the fruit is left in the Water till the latter cools, it is liable to be overcooked. The cans must be kept off the bottom of the boiler and also apart from one another, to prevent their breaking and this is one function of the rack.
Having thus described my invention, ywhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
An apparatusfor canning fruit and the like consisting of a covered boiler and a removable can-receiving rack, said rack consisting; of a perforated bottom portion C, the ends whereof are crimped and folded back on them- D and flange G; and an arched handle I, subselves to form the transverse supporting ribs stantially as described. t Io E and the sides turned up at right angles, at In testimony whereof I affix my signature in G, and the bottom whereof is provided with presence of two Witnesses.
