PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Milk Sterilizers.
I, Dr. ARTHUR CORNAZ of Neuchâtel in the Republic of Switzerland do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to apparatus which is intended to be used for sterilizing
milk for household purposes.
.
By reason of the great simplicity of my apparatus and the fact that it is only
composed of one piece, the said apparatus may be used in any convenient place,
and can always be kept quite clean whereas in the sterilizers as heretofore used
which are composed of several parts connected together when required for use, it
is found impossible to keep the same perfectly sweet and clean...
The sterilizer constructed according to my invention is composed of a cylindrical
or approximately cylindrical jar, the top of which is formed like the frustum of a
cone and firmly connected to the jar. The respective dimensions of the jar and
the conical top are so calculated as to allow the milk contained in the jar to be
boiled long enough to be entirely sterilized without overflowing, the boiling milk
continually flowing down the conical top and back into the jar.
The inner wall of the jar is preferably provided with suitable indications of its
capacity.
't
The angle of the top with respect to the walls of the jar will be about 135 degrees
and the height of the said top will preferably be made of approximately half the
height of the jar.
A handle is fixed to the jar and if made of metal and soldered to it, the same is
preferably provided with holes which allow the air to circulate through the handle
so as to keep the latter cool.
The apparatus may be made of any suitable material for instance of tin-plate,
wrought iron, enamelled iron or the like.
Dated this 2nd day of October 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Milk Sterilizers.
1, Dr. ARTHUR CORNAZ, of Neuchatel, in the Republic of Switzerland, 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 :-
The invention relates to apparatus which is intended to be used for sterilizing
milk for household purposes.
By reason of the great simplicity of my apparatus and the fact that it is only
composed of one piece the said apparatus may be used in any convenient place and
can always be kept quite clean whereas in the sterilizers as heretofore used which
are composed of several parts connected together when required for use, it is found
impossible to keep the same perfectly sweet and clean.
The sterilizer constructed according to my invention is composed of a cylindrical
or approximately cylindrical jar A the top B of which is formed like the frustum of
a cone and firmly connected to the jar A. The respective dimensions of the jar A
and the conical top B are so calculated as to allow the milk contained in the

page_text: jar A to be boiled long enough to be entirely sterilized without overflowing the
boiling milk continually flowing down the conical top B and back into the jar A.
The inner wall of the jar A is preferably provided with suitable indications of
its capacity.
The angle of the top B with respect to the walls of the jar A will be about
135 degrees and the height of the said top B will preferably be made of approxi-
mately half the height of the jar A.
A handle C is fixed to the jar A and if made of metal and soldered to it, the
same is preferably provided with holes c which allow the air to circulate through
the handle so as to keep the latter cool.
The apparatus may be made of any suitable material, for instance of tin-plate,
wrought iron, enamelled iron or the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
An improved milk sterilizer composed of a cylindrical or approximately
cylindrical jar A having its top enlarged in the form of a conical collar B forming
part of it, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
