CÉLESTE JOLY, 318, City Road, London, E.C., Inventor, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
It is noteworthy that the progress in heat storage has hitherto been very slow
and as it has always been the case, eatable goods that are to be cooked are
generally consummated at the very place of their preparation and they are not
prepared in wholesale quantities at a certain place for the supply of a whole
district, town or country. According to the actual old system, every restaurant,
refreshment room and even every house must be provided with cooking and heat-
ing appliances which means expense, labour and annoyance everywhere.
My invention consists of all ways to preserve goods in a warm condition by
means of stored and insulated heat, that is, without warming apparatus, without
expense nor attendance, and of all the cases or vessels into which, or by means of
which, the said goods are preserved or transported.
My cases, or vessels of preservation and transport are manufactured according
to requirements but they are always made so. that a quantity of liquid which
may be water or oil if the degree of heat required is more considerable than
boiling point or any other with such substances in solution as may hinder it
from gasifying before the degree of heat obtained is as high as required for
the purpose for which it is meant, or which may endow it with a greater thermal
capacity, can be stored around, in the middle, above or under the receptacle
in which the goods to be preserved are placed with an outer vessel containing the
insulating material meant to hinder the heat from leaking away.
The size and shape of my cases vary as much as tastes and requirements but
the following drawings show how my invention can practically be carried out.
Fig 1 represents a case suitable for the transport of goods in a warm con-
dition. 1 is filled with a good heat insulator such as slag wool for instance, 2 is
filled with the liquid in which the heat is stored, the goods are placed around
this liquid in 3. 4 represents a cover made so as to enable it to insulate the
heat to a sufficient extent and 8 are handles by means of which the case is trans-
ported.
Fig. 2 shows another case. 1 contains the insulating material, 2 the liquid,
3 the goods and 4 is a suitable insulating cover. 2 is emptied or filled by means
of the aperture 5 and 8 are the handles.
Fig. 3 shows a case suitable for the preservation of liquid goods. 1 contains
the insulator, 2 the liquid in which heat is stored, 3 the liquid to be preserved
in a hot condition. 4 is an insulating cover which does never require to be
removed, 5 is the aperture by means of which 2 can be filled or emptied, 6 the

Improved System for the Storage of Heat, the Preservation and
Transportation of Goods in a Hot Condition.
I, CÉLESTE JOLY, 22, Laurence Pountney Lane, London, E.C. (from 318, City
Koad, E.C.,) Inventor Engineer, 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:-
It is noteworthy that the progress in heat storage has hitherto been very slow
and, as it has always been the case, eatable goods that are to be cooked are
generally consumed at the very place of their preparation and they are not
done in wholesale quantities at the same place for the supply of a whole district,
town or country. According to the old system every refreshment room,
restaurant and every house must be provided with heating and cooking appliances.
My invention consists in the preservation of goods in a warm condition by
means of stored and insulated heat, that is, without warming apparatus without
expense or attendance and all the cases or vessels in which, or by means of
which, the said goods are preserved or transported.
My cases or vessels of preservation and transport in which heat under the
ordinary or the latent state is stored are always manufactured so that a quantity
f solid that melts by the action of heat or a quantity of liquid which may be water
or oil, according to the degree of heat required, can be stored around, in the
middle, above or under the receptacle in which the goods to be preserved are
placed with an outer case or vessel which contains the insulating material to
hinder the heat from leaking away.
The size and shape of my cases vary according to requirements. The drawings
filed with the Provisional Specification show how my invention can successfully
be carried out.
Fig. 1 is the section of a case suitable for the preservation and transport of
goods in a hot condition. 1 is filled with insulating material such as slag
wool, 2 with water or any liquid heated to the required degree around which
the goods to be preserved or transported are placed, in 3. 4 is an insulating
cover and 8 are handles.
Fig. 2 shows another case. 1 contains the heat insulator, 2 the liquid in which
the heat is stored, 3 the receptacle in which the goods are placed, 4 a suitable
cover, 5 an aperture to fill and empty 2 and 8 handles.
Fig. 3 represents a case suitable for preserving liquid goods such as tea, coffee,
chocolate and the like in the hot condition. 1 is the insulator, 2 the vessel
filled with hot liquid, 3 the receptacle for the goods, 4 a fixed or removable
insulating cover, 5 an aperture to fill or empty 2, 6 that used to empty or fill
and 7 a tap for obtaining the contents of 3 when they are required.
For the storage of latent heat, a part of the cases is filled with wax or any
other substance and the cases are provided with removable bottoms. To store heat
into such a case, the bottom is removed and the case is placed upon the fire
whose heat melts the solid. When a sufficient quantity of heat has been stored,
the insulating bottom is put on again. The melted substance gives as much
heat in resolidifying as it has absorbed in melting.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1-The preservation and transport of goods in a hot condition by means of heat
stored and insulated in cases and like portable receptacles.
