An Improvement in Milk Vessels.
I, ISAAO ALFRED HATTERSLEY, of 31 St. Petersburg Place, Bayswater, in the
County of London, Mauaging Director of The Aylesbury Dairy Company, Limited,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
When milk stands for some time quiescent in vessels in which it is held or
carried, the cream is apt to rise to the top, leaving the lower portion of the milk
poor in fatty matter. My invention relates to meaus of preventing to a large
extent this rising of the orca, which I effect as follows.
In the vessel for containing milk I place a central stem carrying ou it at about
the middle of the depth of the vessel a plate which obstructs the cream as it
tends to rise,
thus keeping the lower half of the contents nearly as rich as the
upper half.
When the vessel is of considerable depth I prefer to fix on the central stem
several plates at different depths and each of these plates may be such as to
obstruct only a little more than half the area of the vessel. When the vessel 18
provided with a cover I may attach the stem to the cover, so that, on removing
the cover,
I remove also the plates thus getting free access to clean them. Instead
of attaching the plates to a stem, they might be separately supported on studs or
shoulders projecting inwards from the side of the vessel.
Dated this 8th day of May 1895.

I, ISAAC ALFRED HATTERSLEY, of 31 St. Petersburg Place, Bayswater, in the
County of London, Managing Director of The Aylesbury Dairy Company Limited,
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 :-
When milk stands for some time quiescent in vessels u which it is held or carried,
the cream is apt to rise to the top, leaving the lower portion of the milk poor in
fatty matter.
My invention relates to means of preventing to a large extent this rising of the
cream, which I effect as follows.
In the vessel for containing milk I place a central stem carrying on it at about
the middle of the depth of the vessel a plate which obstructs the cream as it
tends to rise, thus keeping the lower half of the contents nearly as rich as the
upper half.
When the vessel 18 of considerable depth such as the churn employed for milk
transport shewn in section in Fig. 1, I prefer to fix on the central stem S several
plutes at different depths and each of these plates may be such as to obstruct
only a little more than half the area of the vessel. In this case the vessel having

also the plates thus getung free access to clean them.
The stem night, however, project up from the bottom of the vessel, or instead of
attaching the plates to a stem, they might be separately supported on studs or
shoulders projecting wards from the side of the vessel as shewn in section in
Fig. 2, and in plan in Fig. 3, the plates P having segments cut off on opposite sides
alternately so that the cream in 118ing would have to take a zigzag course, its ascent
being thus impeded.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manuet the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
clann Is -
In combination with a milk vessel a plate or several plates fixed thereon so as to
obstruct ascent of the cream.
