page_text: I, SAMUEL POND of Blandford in the County of Dorset, Maker of Dairy Utensils,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
I form a cream settling pan with an outer water jacket surrounding its sides and
bottom as in pans heretofore made by me so that the pan may be cooled or warmed as
desired by pouring cold or hot water into the jacket and allowing it to flow off by an
overflow.
The pan I now make in a separate piece from the jacket and with an outer projecting
rim at the top to rest on the top edge of the jacket and with strap pieces projecting
downwards from the top edge to come outside the jacket and to be held to it by screws
or other fastenings so that the pan can readily be separated from the jacket for cleaning
or repainting.
The outlet from the bottom of the pan by which skim milk is to be allowed to
drain away from the cream after the cream has risen I form as a tapering socket-
into this socket I drop a ring which fits to the sides of the socket at some way down
from its top edge. The ring has descending from it a conical strainer preferably of
wire gauze or finely perforated sheet metal. A second ring is provided to drop into
and fit within the first ring and has a conical strainer rising up from it.
When milk is poured into the pan to settle it is prevented from passing to this
strainer by
conical cover which fits over it and which at its lower end is formed to
enter and fit within the upper part of the tapering outlet socket. The cover has a rod
rising up from it with a handle at the top by which when the cream has risen the
cover may be raised and the skim milk below it be so allowed to pass to the upper
strainer and filter through it to the lower strainer and so to pass away.
straining cones or surfaces may if desired be provided within the cones above
mentioned for the more perfect straining of the cream.
Other
For supplying water to the jacket I form it with an inlet orifice at the lower part
of one of its sides and either with or without a tap on the outside and screw nozzle

page_text: end to which a tube having an elbow bend in it can be coupled. The opposite end of
this tube I form in a suitable manner to have coupled to it a metallic socket at the end
of a flexible tube coming from a water supply cistern.
When water is to be supplied to the jacket the elbow tube is turned into a position
with its outer end upwards and the flexible supply tube is coupled to it and water
allowed to pass to it from the cistern-and when the jacket is to be emptied of water
the flexible tube is disconnected and the outer end of the elbow tube is turned
downwards to allow water to flow away through it.
The jacket may also be formed with an outer lip at one corner with an inlet to it
close to the bottom.
The pans may be ranged in pairs with a water cistern to each pair or where two or
more pans are used their water jackets may be connected continuously so as to
dispense with a separate water supply to each pan. Strainers formed as herein
before described can be used with pans which are unprovided with an outer water
jacket.

page_text: I, SAMUEL POND of Blandford in the County of Dorset, Maker of Dairy Utensils,
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 :-
I form a cream settling pan with an outer water jacket surrounding its sides and
bottom as in pans heretofore made by me so that the pan may be cooled or warmed
as desired by pouring cold or hot water into the jacket and allowing it to flow off by
an overflow.
The pan I now make in a separate piece from the jacket and with an outer pro-
jecting rim at the top to rest on the top edge of the jacket and with strap pieces
projecting downwards from the top edge to come outside the jacket and to be held to
it by screws or other fastenings so that the pan can readily be separated from the
jacket for cleaning or repairing.
The outlet from the bottom of the pan by which skim milk is to be allowed to drain
away from the cream after the cream has risen I form as a tapering socket-into
this socket I drop a ring provided with a strainer which fits to the sides of the socket
at some way down from its top edge. The ring receives within it another ring which
has a conical strainer rising up from it.
When milk is poured into the pan to settle it is prevented from passing to this
strainer by a conical cover which fits over it and which at its lower end is formed to
enter and fit within the upper part of the tapering outlet socket. The cover has a
rod rising up from it with a handle at the top by which when the cream has risen
the cover may be raised and the skim milk allowed to pass to the strainer and filter
through it and so to pass away.
For supplying water to the jacket I form it with an inlet orifice at the lower part
of one of its sides and either with or without a tap on the outside and screw nozzle
end to which a tube having an elbow bend in it can be coupled. The opposite end
of this tube 1 form in a suitable manner to have coupled to it a metallic socket at the
end of a flexible tube coming from a water supply cistern.
When water is to be supplied to the jacket the elbow tube is turned into a position
with its outer end upwards and the flexible supply tube is coupled to it and water
allowed to pass to it from the cistern-and when the jacket is to be emptied of water
the flexible tube is disconnected and the outer end of the elbow tube is turned
downwards to allow water to flow away through it.
The jacket may also be formed with an outer lip at one corner with an inlet to it
close to the bottom.
The pans may be ranged in pairs with a water cistern to each pair or where
two or more pans are used their water jackets may be connected continuously so as
to dispense with a separate water supply to each pan. Strainers formed as herein
before described can be used with pans which are unprovided with an outer water
jacket.
In order that my said invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.

a is the pan and b is the jacket in a separate piece, a' is a rim on the top of the
pan which surrounds and rests upon the edge of the jacket, a² a³ are strap pieces on
the pan, they are attached by screws to the sides of the jacket but in such a way that
the parts can be readily detached to facilitate cleaning the pan. c is the socket like
pieco through which is the outlet from the pan. This piece is permanently attached
by a flange to the bottom of the pan, it passes through a hole in the jacket and receives
a nut below which when screwed up with a washer between forms a water tight
joint. The outlet is connected with a pipe not shown on the drawing. The piece c
is taper within and some way down there fits into it the ring or annular plug d
which carries a strainer d'. Another ring e¹ fits into the ring d and is locked to it
by a bayonet joint. The ring e¹ carries the conical strainer e. f is a conical cover
over the strainer at its lower part, it fits into the socket piece c so that when the
cover is in place the outlet is completely closed by it. The cover is provided with a
stem and handle f¹. The pan is filled with the cover in place and not until the
cream has risen is this cover lifted and the skim milk run off; this is done continuously
that the cream may not be disturbed. A tap may be provided in the outlet if desired.
It will be observed that the strainer e even to the last exposes a large area to the liquid
so that the flow through it is never rapid and the cream is not carried through.
When the milk is drawn off as closely as practicable the outlet is closed and finally the
cream is drawn out into another receptacle. g is an inlet to the jacket. g¹ a tap in
connection with it, and h is an overflow. is an S pipe connected at one end with
the jacket and at the other it can be similarly connected with a flexible hose from
which the jacket is filled. The jacket is emptied also through the S pipe i, the hose
being detached, and the pipe turned in the union which connects it with the jacket.
¹ is a spout with which the jacket is provided.
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 :--
In a cream settling pan the socket piece c, the ring d, the conical strainer e and
the cover combined and operating substantially as described.

I, SAMUEL POND of Blandford in the County of Dorset, Maker of Dairy Utensils,
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:
