Improvements in or relating to Triturating Machines for Soups,
Gravies, and Material or Substances generally.
I, HENRY SAMUEL NYE, of the Firm Samuel Nye and Co. of 139 Oxford Street,
County. of London, Mincing Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:
The object of this invention is to make Triturating or Strainer Machines or
Sifters in a more economical and efficient manner and more cleanly in appearance
and action than at present, the parts being so arranged that they can be more
simply. released and separated for renewal and repairs than at present.
Hitherto such Machines have been made for reciprocating action of the hand or
through a disintegrator operated reciprocatingly, and where the particles of substance
were very large in comparison, a deal of unnecessary breaking up of the particles
takes place.
For the purpose of my invention, I make the vessel cylindrical, and provide the
false bottom of fine meshed or perforated metal of flat formation dished, or it may
be stepped to the centre and over and in contact with which a brush or brushes can be
swept, these being attached to one or more arms, preferably two, the brushes being
of the same, or of different densities, or closeness of fibres if desired.
The arms or the brushes are so made that the whole or the greater part of the
false bottom can be simultaneously acted on, the height or closeness of touch being
determined by a screw and set nut or nuts on a central shaft, the upper part of
which is carried and centralized by, say, a three armed bracket capable of being
temporarily fixed by a stud pin or pinch screw.
The shaft can be rotated from above, or from the side, such as through bevil gear
and a crank handle, especially where increase of speed rotation is found necessary.
The vessel above referred to and furnished can be dropped on and into the edge
of a lower vessel into which the liquid, Soup, Gravy, decoction, infusion, or fine
floury particles can be collected with or without heat, as desired.
The shaft can have a flat on its side to ensure the travel of the brushes in their
circular sweep, or a feather and key way can be formed for the purpose.

Gravies, and Material or Substances generally.
I, HENRY SAMUEL NYE, of the Firm Samuel Nye and Co. of 139 Oxford Street,
County of London, Mincing Machine Manufacturer, 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 object of this invention is to make triturating or strainer Machines or sifters
in a more economical and efficient manner, and more cleanly in appearance and action
than at present, the parts being so arranged that they can be more simply released
and separated for renewal and repairs than at present.
Hitherto, such Machines have been made for reciprocating action of the hand or
through a disintegrator operated reciprocatingly and where the particles of substance
were very large in comparison, a deal of unnecessary breaking up of the particles
takes place.
For the purpose of my invention, and as I show in the annexed drawing, I make
the vessel A cylindrical and provide the false bottom B of fine meshed or perforated
metal of flat formation or dished, or it may be stepped to the centre and over and in
contact with which a brush or brushes C can be swept, these being attached to one
or more arms preferably two, D, D, the brushes being of the same or of different
densities or closeness of fibres as desired.
The arms or the brushes are so made that the whole or the greater part of the
false bottom can be simultaneously acted on, the height or closeness of touch being
determined. by a screw and set nut or nuts E on a central shaft F, the upper part of
which is carried and centralized by, say, a three armed bracket G capable of being
temporarily fixed by a stud pin or pinch screw, or by a collar H.
The shaft F is rotated from above from the side, such as through bevil gear I, J,
and a crank handle K especially where increase of speed rotation is found necessary,
or the crank handle may be on the top of the shaft F.
The vessel A above referred to and furnished is dropped on and into the edge of a
lower vessel L into which the liquid soup, gravy, decoction, infusion, or fine floury
particles can be collected with or without heat as desired.
Instead of the pinch nut E, the shaft can have a flat on its side to ensure the travel
of the brushes in their circular sweep, or a feather and key way can be formed for
the purpose.
The spout M provides for emptying or pouring out the contents of the lower
vessel L when the top vessel A is lifted clear therefrom.
The three armed bracket G when the nipping stud N is loosened can be moved
away from the vessel A to enable the brush or brushes C to be cleansed and in lieu
of brushes baffle strips can be affixed to the plates D, D, at the desired angle for
sweeping the contents of the vessel A round on the sieve B.
I prefer that the sieve be dished for the liquid to flow towards its central under
surface and when the straining is complete the sieve is left almost dry, every
particle of wet being removed from the material which remains in the upper vessel A,
the extract being in the lower vessel L which vessel if provided with a fold down
hand-bail P can be carried as desired and the vessel be tilted for pouring out the
contents.
The rotary triturator or strainer above described is specially intended for extracting
the liquor, Soups, Sauces, Purées, Jams, and the like as well as for food, grain, flour,
and for mixing and sifting, or associating Spices or other food products.

page_text: This improved Triturator is made in two parts, the lower vessel receiving the Soup
etc. after it has gone through the process. As will be understood by the drawing,
the rotary action of the brush forces the substance operated on through the
perforated strainer in the upper vessel to the lower.
This apparatus presents several important advantages over the old Machines by
being much quicker in action and easier to work, it is stronger, and being made
entirely of metal (except the brush) is easily kept clean and sweet, whereas the old
wooden ones often became sour in course of time.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The apparatus shown on the annexed drawings and consisting of a circular
ressel A, rotating brush C, nip or adjusting nut E all arranged for operating the
brush upon the mesh or sieve bottom B for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination of two vessels A, L, one to effect the trituration by rotary
action therein of brushes, the other serving to receive the liquid portion or extract, as
and for the purpose or object described.
