PHILIP P. MENARD, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
EGG-SEPARATOR.
. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,240, dated May 31, 1904.
Application filed March 9, 1903. Renewed November 5, 1903. Serial No. 180,000. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP P. MENARD, a citizen of the United States, residing-at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Egg-Separators; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in devices for separating the whites from the yolks of eggs.
The object is to produce a device of this character into which the egg may be broken and which will quickly and effectually separate all the albumen or white of the egg from the yolk, a further object being to produce such a device which will be simple and inexpensive in construction, consisting of but few parts, which may be readily cleaned after using.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and ar rangement of the parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which I Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view taken at right angles to Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the device.
In the drawings, 1 denotes a stand or holder comprising 2. preferably cylindrical hollow body or shell 2, having cast or otherwise secured to its lower end or edge three or more legs 3, whereby the same is supported in position above a dish or receptacle. The upper edge of the cylindrical body portion is turned inwardly and downwardly to form an annularly-disposed flange 4, the purpose of which will hereinafter appear. 5 denotes a downwardly-curved centrally-disposed cross bar or brace, which is preferably formed integral with the flange 4. The cross-bar 5 is adapted to form a seat or hearing for a circular cup or bowl shaped receptacle 6, which is adapted to be centrally pivoted to said cross-bar and to be turned or oscillated thereon in a horizontal plane.
7 denotes a handle preferably formed integral with the receptacle 6 and rising from one side of the same and adapted to conform to the shape of the flange 4 and cross-bar 5. The portion of the handle 7 above the said flange is bent horizontally, 1 as shown, and adapted to be grasped to turn the receptacle 6.
8 denotes a lip or lug corresponding in shape to the inner portion of the handle and arranged at a point diametrically opposite to the same, the said lip or lug being also preferably integral with the receptacle.
The receptacle 6 is of such depth and is mounted in such position that a space is formed between the upper edge of the same and the lower edge of the flange 4, as shown.
In practice the stand is placed in a dish, and the egg is broken into the upper end of the cylindrical body 2, and the yolk, being the heavier element, drops to the bottom into the receptacle 6, while the albumen or white of the egg overflows through the space formed between the upper edge of the receptacle and the lower edge of the flange 4: into the dish below. The handle 7 is now grasped and the receptacle rotated or turned upon its pivot, and as the inner portion of the handle and the lip or lug 8 pass the upper portions of the cross-bar 5 any albumen hanging over the edge of the bowl or receptacle will be cut oil? and fall intothe dish.
The receptacle 6 is of such capacity as to be about filled with the yolk of the egg, so that the albumen-will be caused to run over the edge of the receptacle and out through the space between the same and the lower edge of the depending annular flange 4:, the cutting action of the handle and lip in passing the cross-brace 5 aiding in clearing the yolk of the albumen or white.
The stand 1 is preferably cast in one piece; but it is obvious that the parts of the same may be formed separately and assembled in any desired manner, and the receptacle 6 may be likewise cast in one piece or constructed separately.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In an egg-separator,the combination with a standhaving a cylindrical body portion, an inwardly and downwardly turned annular flange and a downwardly-curved cross bar or brace, of a circular cup or bowl shaped receptacle supported by said cross-brace and adapted to be rotatably connected to the same, an overflow-space formed between the upper edge of said receptacle and the lower edge of said annular flange, and means for rotating or os- .cillating said receptacle, substantially as de scribed. I
2, In an eggseparator,the combination with a stand having a cylindrical body portion, an inwardly and downwardly curved annular flange and a downwardly-curved cross bar or brace, of a circular cup or bowl shaped receptacle supported by said cross-brace and adapted to be rotatably connected to the same, an
' overflow-space formed between the upper edge of said receptacle and the lower edge of said annular flange, an upwardly-projecting lip or lug formed on said receptacle and an upwardly-projecting outwardly-turned handle also formed on said receptacle and arranged diametrically opposite to said lip or lug, whereby said. receptacle may be rotated or oscillated, substantiallyas described.
In testimony whereof I have. hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- W. A. HERRIGK, JOHN W. MITCHELL.
