PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Receptacles for Containing or Storing Butter
and the like.
We, BERNHARD HINRICH FRIEDRICH BRAASCH, Butter Merchant, of 23, Fisch-
markt, Altona, Prussia, and EDUARD ZIETZ, Merchant, of 22, Alte Groninger-
strasse, Hamburg, both in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
In storage-tubs or casks heretofore usually employed for storing butter, mar-
garine, fat and the like in retail houses, it has hitherto been necessary, owing to
the large size of tubs or casks employed, to keep in the shop itself, a large amount
of such butter or the like, in order to maintain the tubs, or casks properly
filled.
This may result in great inconvenience since the goods, unless quickly sold,
may deteriorate under the action of the air. Therefore, when kept in large
storage-tubs, which could only be emptied in the course of comparatively long
time, the goods thus stored, were liable to become spoilt.
The object of the present invention is to avoid this inconvenience.
The essential feature of the invention consists in placing a comparatively small
receptacle for receiving the butter or like substance, into a show-cask. The said
receptacle, proper, is preferably surrounded by a special cooling vessel which is
filled with ice or a refrigerating liquid and which may receive an isolating medium
upon its outside.
An annular ring or plate may be provided for closing the top
of the refrigerating vessel. A hinged lid serves for closing the show-cask and
simultaneously the receptacle proper which latter may, however be provided with
a separate cover in, which case the main lid or cover common to show-cask and
receptacle proper, may only be used when there is no sale for a comparatively
long period, for instance during the night.

Improvements in Receptacles for Containing or Storing Butter
and the like.
We, BERNHARDY HINRICH FRIEDRICH BRAASCH, Butter Merchant, of 23, Fi
markt, Altona, Prussia, and EDUARD ZIETE, Merchant, of 22, Alte Groninger-

page_text: strasse, Hamburg, both in the Empire of Germany, 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 storage-tubs or casks heretofore usually employed for storing butter, mar-
garine, fat and the like in retail houses, it has hitherto been necessary, owing to
the large size of tubs or casks employed, to keep in the shop itself, a large amount
of such butter or the like, in order to maintain the tubs, or casks properly
filled.
This may result in great inconvenience since the goods, unless quickly sold,
may deteriorate under the action of the air. Therefore, when kept in large
storage-tubs, which could only be emptied in the course of comparatively long time,
the goods thus stored, were liable to become spoilt.
The object of the present invention is to avoid this inconvenience.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood we will now proceed
to describe the same in detail and for that purpose shall refer to the accompanying
drawing in which―
Figure 1 is a vertical section through the improved receptacle and
Figure 2 is a horizontal section on the line I-II (Figure 1).
The essential feature of the invention consists in placing a comparatively small
receptacle for receiving the butter or like substance, into a show-cask a. The
said receptacle, proper, is preferably surrounded by a cooling vessel d which is
filled with ice or a refrigerating liquid and which may receive an isolating
nedium upon its outside. An annular ring or plate a³ may be provided for
closing the top of the refrigerating vessel d. A hinged lid c serves for closing
the show-cask a and simultaneously the receptacle proper which latter may,
Lowever be provided with a separate cover b in which case the main lid or cover c
common to show-cask a and receptacle proper b, is only used when there is no
sale for a comparatively long period, for instance during the night.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
An improved receptacle for containing or storing butter and the like comprising
a show-cask (a), a receptacle (b) placed within the said cask, a cooling vessel (d)
surrounding the inner receptacle and containing the refrigerating substances,
and a common lid or cover (c) for the said vessels (ab d), substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.
