Improvements in Apparatus for Storing and Preserving Eggs.
I, THEODORE RUDOLPH CEASAR CHRISTIANSON, of Charlotte Street, Leith, in the
County of Midlothian, North Britain, Produce Merchant, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:
11
I's.
This invention relates to improvements in or additions to the Specification of
my Patent No. 21035 of 2nd November, 1894. My present invention relates to
movable gauntrees on which I build and attach sections of the apparatus described
in the specification of my said prior patent by which the said sections are enabled
to be moved backwards and forwards to any extent at the convenience of the
operator so that when such sections are filled with eggs they may by this movable
gauntrees (which is constructed on wheels) be moved up to one another close so
that the warehouse room may be fully stored with eggs in this way.
In the carrying out of my invention I make two iron axles on the ends of each
I firmly attach two suitable iron wheels. On the centre of each axle I firmly
attach suitable pinions. Each of the above axles is placed in a parallel position
according to the breadth of the gauntrees required. I further have an iron rod,
with two suitable pinions firmly attached thereto, and so placed that the said
pinions of this rod work in the pinions that are fixed on the two aforesaid axles,
so that when the rod is turned either one way or another, the axles wheels will
move forwards or backwards at the will of the operator. The rod which works
on the axle pinions as well as the axles, are fixed and attached to suitable. wood
work which constitutes the gauntrees and upon which movable gauntrees I attach
and build the apparatus for the storing and preserving of eggs as described in the
specification of my said former patent.

Improvements in Apparatus for Storing and Presérving Eggs.
I, THEODORE RUDOLPH CEASAR CHRISTIANSON, formerly of Charlotte Street, änd
now of 26, Bernard Street, Leith, in the County of Midlothian, North Britain,
Produce Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
CD

page_text: manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in or additions to the Specification of
my Patent No. 21035 of 2nd November, 1894. My present invention relates to
movable gauntrees on which I build and attach sections of the apparatus described
in the specification of my said prior patent by which the said sections are enabled
to be moved backwards and forwards to any extent at the convenience of the
operator so that when such sections are filled with eggs they may, by this movable
gauntrees (which is constructed on wheels) be moved up to one another close so
that the warehouse room may be fully stored with eggs in this way, their easy
movement also enabling access to be readily gained thereto when required.
But in order that my said invention may be more readily understood and easily
carried into effect I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a front and
Fig. 2 a side elevation of the egg storing apparatus shewing one method by
which it can be moved from place to place.
Referring to the said drawings I build the sections carrying the trays, upon an
angle iron framing A, one of which is situated at each end of the apparatus.
Secured upon this framing are bearings B within which work the ends of two
parallel axles C, the said axles carrying the wheels I) by means of which the
apparatus is moved.
The drawing illustrates a portion of two sections of the apparatus which may
however be composed of three four or more sections as required, a wheel D being
preferably mounted between the standards D' of each section so as to prevent
the apparatus being strained. In order to actuate the axles carrying the wheels,
I extend one of the said axles and key a spur or ratchet wheel or pinion E thereon.
A handle F works loosely upon this end of the axle and is provided with a double
acting pawl f arranged to engage with the pinion E in such a manner that when
the handle is turned one way or the other the axle wheels will move backwards
or forwards at the will of the operator.
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:
1. The general arrangement, construction and combination of parts constituting
the means whereby my egg storing and preserving apparatus can be wheeled or
moved, substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and shewn in
the accompanying drawings.
