A New or Improved Strainer for Dairy and other uses.

I, THOR TIMM, of 24, Vesterbrogade, Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Strainers with false bottoms as at present employed are not well adapted for
daily use in dairies. My invention consists of a strainer which presents the fol-
lowing advantages. It has no recesses where dirt or the like can accumulate,
it can be made in any convenient size and in many shapes such as square or
hexagonal, whilst the ordinary strainers have to be circular for the sake of the
screw thread. Finally my strainer is adapted for the reception of two or more
false bottoms an arrangement which sometimes may be useful. My inven-
tion is shown in the accompanying drawing in side elevation and part cross
section.
The strainer has an inturned flange a forming a rest for the false bottom e.
The said false bottom is retained in its place by means of an angular spring
frame b. This frame has a spring-cut as shown in the figure, and so presses
outwards against the cylindrical wall of the strainer e by its own elasticity. In
order to make it fit firmly a handle d bent so as to have a naturally outward
spring is mounted on the ring b.
When two or more false bottoms are employed they are superposed and the
handle is applied to the topmost one.

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-

Finally my strainer is adapted for the reception of two or more
false bottoms an arrangement which sometimes may be useful. My inven-
tion is shown in the drawing filed with my Provisional Specification in side
elevation and part cross section.
The strainer c has an inturned flange a forming a rest for the false bottom e.
The said false bottom is retained in its place by means of an angular spring
frame b. This frame has a spring-cut as shown in the figure, and so presses
outwards against the cylindrical wall of the strainer c by its own elasticity. In
order to make it fit firmly a handle d bent so as to have a naturally outward
spring is mounted on the ring b.
When two or more false bottoms are employed they are superposed and the
handle d is applied to the topmost one.
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. In a strainer for dairy and other uses, the combination of strainer e, inturned
flange and false bottom e maintained in position by means of frame and
handle d.
2. The specific form of strainer set forth with reference to the drawing.
