An Improvement in Rollers for Moulding Confectionery.
ABRAM LYLE & SONS, LIMITED, Sugar Refiners, whose registered Office is at
No. 21, Mincing Lane, London, EC., and CHARLES LYLE, Sugar Refiner, 21,
Mincing Lane, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
In using rollers for moulding confectionery a difficulty has hitherto been found
arising from the fact that the hot confectionery gradually heats the rollers when
these have to be laid aside until they cool. According to our invention this
difficulty is overcome by making the rollers hollow and mounting them on hollow
spindles by means of which a stream of water is conducted through the rollers
while they are at work. The inlet and outlet water pipes are connected to the
revolving spindles by any of the well known devices of glands and packing boxes.

An Improvement in Rollers for Moulding Confectionery.
We, ABRAM LYLE & SONS, LIMITED, Sugar Refiners, whose registered Office is at
No. 21, Mincing Lane, London, E.C., and CHARLES LYLE, Sugar Refiner, 21,
Mincing Lane, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement: -
In using rollers for moulding confectionery a difficulty has hitherto been found
arising from the fact that the hot confectionery gradually heats the rollers when
these have to be laid aside until they cool. According to our invention this
difficulty is overcome by making the rollers hollow and mounting them on hollow
shafts by means of which a stream of water is conducted through the rollers so
that the temperature of the rollers can be kept at whatever degree is wanted
without any interruption of work. The inlet and outlet water pipes are connected
to the revolving shafts by any of the well known devices of glands and packing
boxes.
The accompanying drawing shows one arrangement of apparatus according to
our invention. A drop roller machine is shown in partly sectional elevation.

page_text: The rollers R and R1 are hollow and the shafts A, A 1 and B, B1, on which they
are mounted have channels as at D and D1 bored in them which open as at d
into the interior C of the roller R. By means of the packing nuts E and E1
water from the inlet pipe I is led through the channels as at D while the machine
is at work into the interiors of the hollow rollers and finds its way out as by the
channel D1 and by the packing nuts F and F 1 into the outlet pipe O. By means
of suitable cocks in the inlet and outlet pipes I and O the flow of the water can
be regulated at will.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
L
Regulating the temperature of rollers used for moulding confectionery by
making the rollers hollow and passing water through them while they are at
work, substantially as before described.
