PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for the Storage and Ready Delivery of
Semifluid and Soft Substances
I, JOHN EDWARD CHADWICK, of 10, City Road, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Brass Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My object is to form an apparatus in which semifluid or soft substances, such
as sausagemeat, stiff paint, paste, and the like, can be placed and delivered in
continuous small quantities, such as are required in sausagemaking machines
and the like, when required.
I accomplish this by forming a suitable case, of metal or other suitable material,
preferably of cylindrical form, in which the soft substance is placed.
Into one end is fitted a suitable plunger by which the substance can be com-
pressed.
.
Passing through one side of the plunger is fitted a suitable tube capable of
being raised and lowered at will into the soft substance which is thus pressed
upwards through the tube in a continuous rope or ribbon which can be utilized
as desired.
By rotating the plunger the tube can be brought over any part of the case it
is desired until the case is emptied.
Owing to the cutting action of the sharp end of the tube very little pressure
is required to cut through the soft matter."

Improvements in Apparatus for the Storage and Ready Delivery of
Semifluid and Soft Substances.
I, JOHN EDWARD CHADWICK, of 10, City Road, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster, Brass Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
-
My object is to form an apparatus in which semifluid or soft substances, such
as sausagemeat, stiff paint, paste, and the like, can be placed and delivered in
continuous small quantities, when required, such as are necessary in sausagemaking
machines and the like.

page_text: I accomplish this by forming a suitable case, of metal or other suitable material,
preferably of cylindrical form in which the soft substance is placed.
Into one end is fitted a suitable plunger by which the soft substance can be
compressed.
This I preferably accomplish by means of a central screw attached to the closed
end of the case, upon which the plunger rotates, or which is rotated in the plunger
by making the closed end capable of rotation with the central screw.
Passing through one side of the rotating plunger (or the rotating closed end,
as the case may be,) is fitted a suitable tube capable of being raised and lowered
at will (either by simple pressure, or screw or lever pressure as may in any special
case be required, although owing to the cutting action of the sharp edge of the
tube very little pressure is usually required,) into the soft substance within, which
is thus pressed upwards through the tube in a continuous rope or ribbon which
can be utilized as desired.
By rotating the plunger, (or rotating closed end,) the tube is brought over
any part of the case desired until the case is emptied.
Referring to the drawings sent herewith:-.
They show a cross section of a paste box for anglers constructed on my improved
system.
a indicates the cylindrical paste box with a rotating lid b, attached to which
is a central screw c which passes through a plunger d. By rotating lid b the
plunger d compresses the paste between the two.
Through rotating lid 6 passes sliding tube e which can be pressed down into
position shown in dotted lines f forcing the paste up through tube e and out
at its top e³.
The rotation of the lid 6 brings the tube e over each part of the box in turn
until it is emptied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
The combined apparatus, substantially as described and shown hereinbefore and
in the accompanying drawings, for the purpose set forth.
