IMPROVEMENTS IN COOLING APPARATUS FOR LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY BEER
Year: 1859

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Jozé Luis, of the British & Foreign Office for
Patents, No. 1B, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, in the
County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN COOLING APPARATUS FOR LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY BEER."-A communication
from abroad by Jean Louis Baudelot, Paris, in the Empire of France.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Jozé Luis at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 17th
September 1859.
I, JozÉ LUIS, of the British & Foreign Office for Patents, No. 1B,
Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, in the County of Middlesex
(Patent Agent), do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN COOLING APPARATUS FOR LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY BEER," & that
it has been communicated to me from abroad, by Jean Louis Baudelot, of
Paris, in the Empire of France, to be as follows:-
The improvements which I wish to introduce in the construction of a
cooling apparatus for liquids, especially beer, (for which I have already
obtained Letters Patent, No. 935, 1859,) consist in causing the hot beer or
other liquid to pass through the tubes, entering at the bottom of the apparatus
and passing out cooled at the top, the water used for cooling being made to

page_text: fall over the tubes through which the hot beer circulates; the water falls first
on the upper tube, from which the cooled beer escapes, and then from tube to
tube till it comes to the bottom one, by which the hot beer is made to enter,
being the reverse of the operation as shown in my former Patent. The form
of the apparatus may be made to suit the form of the place in which it may
be required to work, being either oblong, circular, or otherwise, the tube being
made to take an oblong or annular serpentine form, or if, instead of a single
tube, several tubes are used, they can be connected by knee pipes, each tube
being placed at equal distance above the other. The water used for cooling is
distributed over the top tube by means of a perforated trough.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Jozé Luis in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
15th March 1860.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JozÉ
LUIS, of the British and Foreign Office for Patents, No. 1B, Welbeck Street,
Cavendish Square, London, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, in the twenty-second year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said Jozé Luis, Her special licence that I, the said Jozé Luis, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Jozé Luis,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and
no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term
therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands,
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COOLING APPARATUS FOR
LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY BEER," a communication from abroad, by Jean Louis
Baudelot, of Paris, in the Empire of France, upon the condition - (amongst
others) that I, the said Jozé Luis, my executors or administrators, by an
instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals,
should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention,
and in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same
to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next
and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Jozé Luis, do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, that is to say:-
The improvements which I wish to introduce in the construction of a
cooling apparatus for liquids, especially beer, (for which I have already
obtained Letters Patent, No. 935, 1859,) consist in causing the hot beer or
other liquid to pass through the tubes, entering at the bottom of the apparatus
and passing out cooled at the top, the water used for cooling being made to
fall over the tubes through which the hot beer circulates; the water falls first
on the upper tube, from which the cooled beer escapes, and then from tube to
tube till it comes to the bottom one, by which the hot beer is made to enter,
being the reverse of the operation as shown in my former Patent. The form
of the apparatus may be made to suit the form of the place in which it may
be required to work, being either oblong, circular, or otherwise, the tube being.
made to take an oblong or annular serpentine form, or, if instead of a single
tube several tubes are used, they can be connected by knee pipes, each tube
being placed at equal distance above the other. The water used for cooling is
distributed over the top tube by means of a perforated rough.
C.
Having thus described the nature of the improvement which I wish to
introduce in cooling apparatus for beer and other liquids, I wish it distinctly
to be understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details, as the
form of the apparatus, and the material of which it is constructed, may vary;
but what I claim is the principle as above described by which the hot beer or
other liquid is made to pass through the tubes, and the cold water to fall over
them, instead of the contrary arrangement, as claimed in my Patent No. 935,
date 1859.
In witness whereof, I, the said Jozé Luis, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this 15th day of March, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty.
