PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Apparatus for Retaining the Fluidity of Melted Sugar
and the like used in Confectionery.
I, EDOUARD LEON DEHAN of Boulevard Henri IV., Paris, in the Republic of
Franco, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists in an apparatus the purpose of which is to receive the
melted or viscid mass of sugar or sweetmeat which is to be worked up or drawn into
desired forms for confectionery etc., so that that mass of sugar may be caused to
retain its heat or to be heated and therefore retain its fluid or viscid form for the
purpose of working.
To this end the apparatus comprises a suitable base plate provided with small pillars
or bearings in which are rollers on which a conical receiver is supported so that it
may be turned on its axis by rolling on the said rollers. Along the base plate extends
one or more series of gas jets for heating the conical receiver along its length. The
whole is enclosed in a suitable hood or case having holes above and below for passage
of air to the gas jets. The conical receiver is made with double walls, the space
between being filled with water. The sugar placed in this conical receiver will be
kept more or less fluid or viscid as required by regulating the gas jets and may
be drawn from the narrow end of the conical receiver and made up into forms of
confectionery in the usual way.
