Sportments inversing vessels with Detachable Parts.
I, EMIL VON BÜHLER, of Westend-Charlottenburg, Germany, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
All sterilising vessels, especially for albuminous substances, such as milk, must
be thoroughly cleaned after they have been used, in order to remove the residues
adhering to the walls of the vessel. The vessels, hitherto known, do not permit
of a thorough cleaning. Especially is this the case if the height of the vessel
exceeds the length of the arms. This drawback is due to the fact that the
bottom of the vessel is firmly connected with the walls, the only detachable
part being the cover, so that the bottom and the walls, which must necessarily
lie close to each other-are hardly accessible.
This drawback is entirely obviated by means of the sterilising vessel of the
present invention consisting of a vessel composed of the bottom, the cover and
the outside wall and partitions or cylinders within the vessel, forming detach-
able parts, held together by means of a clamp and screw, or clamp and angle
lever, or any other suitable means. By this arrangement every part of the
vessel is accessible and permits of a thorough cleaning.

Improvements in Sterilising Vessels with Detachable Parts.
I, EMIL VON BÜHLER, of Westend-Charlottenburg, Germany, Merchant, 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 follow-
ing statement:―
All sterilising vessels, especially for albuminous substances, such as milk,
consisting of an outer vessel and of a number of partitions within this vessel,
must be thoroughly cleaned after they have been used, in order to remove the
residues adhering to the walls of the vessel. The vessels of this kind hitherto
known, do not permit of a thorough cleaning. This drawback is due to the
fact that the partitions are firmly connected with the outer vessel so that the
walls, which must necessarily lie close to each other, are hardly accessible.

page_text: This drawback has been entirely obviated by the present invention, consisting
of a vessel in which the bottom, the cover and the outside wall and any partitions
or cylinders within the vessel each form a detachable part, the cover and the
bottom being simultaneously pressed against the outside wall and the partitions
or cylinders by any suitable means. By this arrangement the mounting and
taking asunder of the vessel is effected very easily and quickly and any part of
the vessel is accessible for a thorough cleaning.
The accompanying drawing shows as an example a vertical part sectional view
of a steriliser for milk which is used as regenerator, wherein a great number
of surfaces come into contact with the milk, so that the advantages of the in-
vention can be easily recognised.
The support is firmly connected with the bottom b. Upon this bottom are
placed the cylinders d, e, f and g, the latter being provided with any suitable
number of feet such as m, on account of its being shorter than the other cylinders.
Upon these cylinders rests the cover a Between the bottom and the cover, respec-
tively, and the cylinders are washers, not shown in the drawing. The detach-
able parts are held together by means of a clamp k, having a hook at each end,
and a screw / worked from a hand wheel /. The annular chamber I and the
cylindrical chamber II are adapted to receive the heating medium, which in
the case of a regenerator consists of heated milk. The annular chamber III,
which is divided by the cylinder g, serves for previously heating the milk, the
latter entering at and flowing off at h. The single parts being detachable,
the apparatus permits of an easy access to all parts touched by the milk, so
that a thorough cleaning can take place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In a sterilising vessel, the combination of the bottom, the cover, the outside
wall and any partitions within the vessel, each consisting of a detachable part,
with any suitable means holding said detachable parts together by pressing the
bottom and the cover simultaneously against the outside wall and the partitions
or cylinders within the vessel, as and for the purpose specified.
