CLAUDE C. GREGORY, OF JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA.
. FRUIT-CANNING BOILER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 25, 1906.
Application filed September 5, 1905. Serial No. 277,120.
To all 'Ll/hone it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLAUDE C. GREGORY, a citizen of the United States, residing in the county of Jackson and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful F ruit-Canning Boiler, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to boilers designed for use in canning fruits and vegetables.
It has for an object to provide a suitable furnace and in combination therewith a boiler suitably held on the furnace and means for suspendingthe receptacles containing the fruitor vegetables and exposing them to the action of the heat.
The invention has for its further object to provide novel means for suspending the receptacles, means being provided for adjusting` the suspending means with relation to the boiler.
I/Vith the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of constructions and the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, wherein like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a furnace and boiler embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the hangers or devices for suspending the trays.
In the drawings, A indicates a furnace having a fire-box of any preferred form and a smoke-pipe B in communication therewith. A door C is provided at the end for permitting the supply of fuel and air to support combustion. Cleats D D are attached to the furnace and extend a suitable distance above the top thereof to act as guides for the boiler E. If desired, the furnace-top F may be omitted and the bottom of the boiler would form the top of the furnace; but I have shown the furnace as having a top, and this will be preferred in most instances, as the furnace can then be used in various other ways.
The boiler is provided with a series of standards G, having notches f, and a pair of standards is provided for each compartment of the boiler. Partitions G divide the boiler into three parts, and each part has a separate cover H, provided with end slots I to receive the suspending means, to be hereinafter described.
Perforated trays J are designed for the purpose of containing cans, jars, or other receptacles containing fruit or vegetables, and these trays are suspended in the compartments of the boiler. The trays may be entirely submerged or they may be suspended above the water to receive the action of the steam only. The suspending means comprise hangers formed of a single piece of wire doubled centrally to form the loop K, which is employed as a handle. The sections of the wire are twisted and then bent to form the loop L, standing at approximately right angles to the loop K. The oop L is designed to fit over the standards and to engage a notch when the desired adjustment has been attained. From the loop L the wire is twisted to form a shank M and the sections of the wire are bent at right angles to the shank in opposite ,directions and the ends of the sections are bent to form hooks N, which enter the slots I, formed in the ends of the tray. By means of the hangers and other parts heretofore described the trays are supported in the boiler and are readily removed.
Having fully described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a fruit-canning boiler the combination of trays and means for supporting the trays, said means comprising notched standards carried by the boiler, and hangers, each hanger consisting of a single piece of wire doubled upon itself and having its free portions extending at right angles to the body portion thereof and terminating in hooks adapted to engage said trays, the wire at the opposite end of the hanger being distended to form a loop and the wire at the intermediate portion of each of said hangers being twisted upon itself, one of said twists distended to form a supporting-loo adapted to engage one of said notched stan ards.
CLAUDE C. GREGORY.
