IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO MOULDS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SUGAR WARE, PARTS OF WHICH INVENTION ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE MOULDING OF OTHER MATERIALS THAN SUGAR." PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Auguste Emile Henry Lozé, of Liverpool, in the County
of Lancaster, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO
MOULDS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SUGAR WARE, PARTS OF WHICH INVENTION
ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE MOULDING OF OTHER MATERIALS THAN SUGAR."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Augusto Emile Henry Lozó
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 2nd April 1880.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO MOULDS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SUGAR
WARE, PARTS OF WHICH INVENTION ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE MOULDING OF
OTHER MATERIALS THAN SUGAR."
This Invention consists in an improved mode of making the moulds and in an
improved mode of applying, grouping, and using them.
instead of a mould of brimstone I use one of an impervious material or of porous
material coated or varnished with material impervious to and not acted on by
grease, so that the grease shall not sink into it or act chemically upon it.
There are various ways of accomplishing this. The mould can be of glass, but I
prefer at present plaster moulds stove dried and covered with four or five coats of
shellac dissolved in spirits of wine; or instead of the plaster, terra cotta, carthen-
ware, vulcanite, or other plastic carveable or castable material can be used; and in
place of shellac varnish or other gun or varnish or chemical preparation not acted
upon by sugar, moderate heat, or water will suffice. In making the plaster moulds
for eggs and other holloware I prefer to take a board strongly braced with back
strips or handle, and on the face of said board insert a series of long screws with
their heads standing out, say, an inch or so, and all equidistant from each other,
and in one plane parallel to the board if multiples of the same mould is to be
used. These screw heads are then placed so as to dip well into the hollows of a
series of hollow moulds for casting the moulds proper in.
Into these the plaster is run round the screw head, and when set the half moulds
for the hollow eggs are formed, merely requiring to be dried, trimmed, here and
there coated with shellac and dipped to be ready for use. In this way the moulds
can be grouped so that any convenient number can be dipped and covered with a
sugar coating and stoved at one time, and great economy of labour results.
Moulds for solid sugarware can also be made in this mode, and in other cases than
for holloware I group them all together in this way. This Invention though
described above as applicable for sugar moulding is also applicable for moulds for
making impressions in starch or other substance in which sugar may be run, also
in moulding in salts and other substances of a like character with sugar.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO MOULDS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SUGAR
WARE, PARTS OF WHICH INVENTION ARE APPLICABLE FOR THE MOULDING OF
OTHER MATERIALS THAN SUGAR."
Fig. 1 is a section through the moulds showing the position of the board A with
screws C; Fig. 2 is a plan of the moulds.
This Invention consists in an improved mode of making the moulds and in an
improved mode of applying, grouping, and using them.
Instead of a mould of brimstone I use one of an impervious material or of porous
material, coated or varnished with material impervious to and not acted on by
grease, so that the grease shall not sink into it or act chemically upon it. There
are various ways of accomplishing this. The mould can be of glass, but I prefer at
present plaster moulds stove dried and covered with four or five coats of shellac
dissolved in spirits of wine; or instead of the plaster, terra cotta, earthenware,
vulcanite, or other plastic carvable or castable material can be used; sulphur will
not do for sugar-ware as it makes the material taste bad; and in place of shellac I
may use varnish or other gun or chemical preparation not acted upon by sugar,
moderate heat, or water.
In making the plaster moulds for eggs and other hollow ware where multiples
of the same mould are to be used, I prefer to take a board A strongly braced with
back strips or handles B, and on the face of said board insert a series of long
screws C with their heads standing out, say, an inch or so, and all equidistant from
each other, and in one plane parallel to the board. The screw heads C are then
placed so as to dip well into the hollows E of a series of hollow moulds in which
the moulds proper are cast. Into these the plaster is run round the screw heads,
and when set the half moulds for the hollow eggs or other ware are formed, merely
requiring to be dried, trimmed, here and there coated with shellac, and greased to
be ready for use.
In this way the moulds can be grouped so that any convenient number can be
dipped and covered with a sugar coating and stoved at one time, and great economy
of labour results.
Moulds for solid sugar ware can also be made in this mode, and in other cases
than for hollow ware 1 group them all together in this way.
This Invention though described above as applicable for sugar inoulding is also
applicable for moulds for making impressions in starch or other substance in which
sugar may be run; also in moulding in salts and other substances of a like
character to sugar.
Having now described my Invention and the best modes known to me of
carrying it into effect, I wish it to be understood that what I believe to be new
and desire to protect under the hereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent is,-
First. The manufacture and use of moulds for forming solid or hollow ware or
thin patterns of sugar, salt, starch, or other thick liquid or viscous material, by
forming them or their surface of material unaffected by the heat of the oven, and
impervious to and not acting chenically or deleteriously upon the material
moulded, or upon the grease or other material to be employed to prevent the
substance to be moulded sticking fast to the mould.
Second. The manufacture of moulds for forming hollow sugar, starch, salt, or
other like ware by running the material to form the mould in the liquid or viscous
state into a series of moulds all in one pluuc, into each of which project a screw
head or its equivalent, substantially as described and shown.

page_text: Third. The use in the manufacture of hollow or thin sugar, starch, salt, or other
like thin moulded ware of a multiple series of moulds all fastened to the same
framework and supported thereon in the same plane, substantially as and for the
purposes described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Auguste Emilo Henry Lozé, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Twenty eighth day of September, in the year of
Lord 1880.
