CHARLES LYLE, of 21, Mincing Lane, London, E.C., Sugar Refiner, and ABRAM
LYLE & SONS LIMITED, Sugar Refiners, whose registered offices are at 21, Mincing
Lane, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to the mixing of ingredients which, from their volatile
nature or otherwise, it is undesirable to pass through the vessel in which sugar for
confectionery making is boiled.
According to this invention, the dissolved sugar is passed through the ordinary
boiling vessels, which may be of the continuous or intermittent type, and as it
issues from these it is led into mixing machines of the nature of the many well
known varieties of pug mills, kneading or mincing machines. Into these mixing
machines is also led from a suitable receptacle the melted butter, flavouring
essence or other ingredient, and the proportionate flow of each of the various parts
of the mixture is regulated by taps or, in the case of powders, by measuring
devices. The mixing machines thoroughly incorporate the various ingredients
with each other and a homogeneous mass issues from the outlets of the mixing
machines and is received on to a cooling table of the ordinary type.
The accompanying drawing shows one of the many arrangements of the inven-
tion. A is the outlet of a continuous sugar boiling apparatus of a well known
type. B is the outlet from a tank C containing an ingredient to be mixed with
the boiled sugar. D is a mixing machine of the type of an ordinary meat mincing
machine. The two bodies issuing from A and B at speeds controlled by the taps a
and 6 meet at the inlet d of the mixing machine D and issue at d, a homogeneous
mass, on to the cooling table E. It is obvious that other types of sugar boiling
vessels and mixing machines, not in themselves or separately novel, may be com-
bined for use according to our invention.

page_text: Lane, London, E.C., 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:―
This invention relates to the mixing with boiled sugar of ingredients which,
from their volatile nature or otherwise, it is undesirable to pass through the vessel
in which sugar for confectionery-making is boiled.
Hitherto, when it has been desired to mix butter, essences or other ingredients
with sugar boiled for confectionery-making in vessels of the continuous boiling
type, it has been usual to add the ingredient to the dissolved sugar before boiling
it or to knead the ingredient into the boiled sugar while the latter is on the cooling
table. In the former method a large proportion of any volatile ingredient is lost
and the latter method is laborious and irregular in its results.
According to our invention the dissolved sugar is passed through the boiling
vessel and on issuing from it at the proper density is led into a mixing machine
of the nature of the many well known varieties of pug mills or kneading machines.
Into this mixing machine is also led from a suitable receptacle the melted butter,
flavouring essence or other ingredient which it is desired to mix with the sugar
and the proportionate flow of each of the various parts of the mixture is regulated
by taps, or in the case of powders, by measuring devices. The mixing machine
thoroughly incorporates the various ingredients with each other and a homogeneous
mass issues from the outlet of the machine and is received on to a cooling table of
the ordinary type.
The accompanying drawing shows one of the many possible arrangements of
the invention. A is the outlet of a continuous sugar boiling apparatus of a well
known type. B is the outlet from a jacketed tank C containing an ingredient to
be mixed with the boiled sugar. D is a mixing machine provided with a jacket J
for controlling the temperature of the contents, with stirrers S and with an adjust-
able outlet O. The two bodies issuing from A and B at speeds controlled by the
taps a and b meet in the mixing machine D and issue at a homogeneous mass
on to the cooling table E. It is obvious that other types of sugar boiling vessels
and mixing machines, not in themselves or separately, novel, may be combined
for use according to our invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The mixing of ingredients with boiled sugar as it issues from the boiling vessel
in a mixing machine substantially as before described.
