Abstract: 150. Mohs, J. Jan. 2. Biscuits; cakes; pastry; confectionery or sweetmeats.-Machine for supplying materials of different colour &c. for ornamenting biscuits, cakes, pastry, and other confections. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the biscuits 8 to be decorated are placed in a magazine 1 and fed, one by one, by a carrier 2 to a holder 3. This holder raises the biscuit in the position to receive the sugar or other decorating- material from the distributing-nozzle 7. The nozzle 7 is divided into compartments, each of which may receive a different material. One supply device is shown. The supply pipe 5 discharges into a chamber in which is arranged a reciprocating plunger 6, which forces the material past a non-return valve 9 and through a port to the chamber 16, whence it falls from the nozzle on to the biscuit. Attached to the spindle of the valve 9 is a piston 10, which on the return of the valve produces a suction effect on the nozzle and so prevents a dropping effect. The biscuit 8 is held in position in the holder 3 by a head 21 forced upwards by the spring 23. A tappet arrangement 22, 28 forces down the head to release the biscuit when the holder descends. If the materials discharged from 7 are to form a finished article without a pastry support, they are deposited upon a moving table or travelling band.

Granted: 1902-01-23
Abstract: 1519. Hygienic Stove Co. and Greenwood, E. P. Jan. 23. Gas cooking- stoves. - Two distinct ovens are provided, one above the other, the upper oven, suitable for slow cooking or keeping articles warm, being heated by the hot gases from the lower oven, which enter the intervening space and are caused to take a circuitous course therein by a division or midrib before entering the flue. The damper for controlling the outlet of waste gases is connected by a link or lever e to the valve f for regulating the supply of gas to the burners in the lower oven, so that the damper and valve are opened and closed simultaneously. An auxiliary gas valve g is provided for automatically lowering the flames when the oven door is opened. This valve carries a quadrant lever h which, on the closing of the door, is forced back against a spring so as to turn up the gas. The partially-closed position of the valve is capable of adjustment by a screw k. The oven door is provided with a catch or locking-bar, arranged to slide vertically on a band or arm, attached to the door by screws, and to engage with a bracket or socket, similarly attached to the frame. The upper oven is made wider and deeper than the lower oven, and the size of the latter is increased by setting the shelves further back and flush with the opening into the oven, the sides of the oven being correspondingly set back to allow for the passage of the hot gases. A deflector plate for browning purposes has two movable side strips, actuated by a parallel motion, for closing the side passages for the hot gases, which must then pass through a central opening in the plate. The taps or valves for the boiling and grilling burners are arranged in a recess or well in the hot-plate. They are provided at their lower ends with wing nuts for actuating them when the said recess is covered. The boiling and grilling burners m, Fig. 4, are made loose and detachable, and are carried from each other by brackets n. Projections p prevent them from being pushed too far through their openings or from twisting. The grilling- burner r is provided with two pairs of deflector plates s, s<1>, those composing each pair being arranged one above the other The two pairs of plates are connected to levers t, t<1>, so that they can be brought together or separated by a parallel motion. The hot-plate is removable, and, when it is taken away, a crown plate may be fitted on the top of the small oven. After removal, the hot-plate may be fixed separately upon an extra pair of side brackets. In such cases a special reversible boiler and griller, Fig. 8, may also be provided. This burner is preferably made in one casting, having a deflector plate v formed with projections as shown. When the burner is in the grilling position, it serves also to heat a pan or kettle supported above the deflector. When required for boiling only, it is simply inverted. Over the hot-plate is arranged a hood, Fig. 7, having a double casing x for holding water, which will be heated by the waste gases from the stove or from a separate burner.
