PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Preparation of Jellies and such like Dietetic Materials
in a Tablet or Blook Form.
I JACOB HUGH PAYNE M.P.S. of 13 Sherwood Street Westminster in the
County of Middlesex Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide jollies and such like dietetic materials
for use and consumption in such wise that they shall be very portable-that they
shall keep in good condition for a lengthened period-and that they can when
required be very easily prepared for consumption-with which object I so prepare
these jellies and such like dietetic materials in a tablet or block form in a cheap
and simple but highly efficient and effective manner.
To carry out this object I take a desired quantity of good pure sugar and if
Decessary reduce the same into a finely granulated condition. I also take a
desired quantity of good pure isinglass or gelatine or the like and likewise if
necessary I similarly reduce the same into a finely granulated condition or it may
even be into a fine powder. The granulated or powdered sugar and isinglass or
gelatine or the like are then thoroughly mixed together in such proportions as may
be desired having regard to the product that is required and this mixture is
strengthened and flavoured as may be convenient or necessary it may be by a
proper proportion of citric acid and of any of the ordinary comestible flavours and
of any of the usual edible colours or of any one or more of them and the whole
mass is well and duly mixed together aud sifted and otherwise treated in the usual
mauner in respect of this art. To this mass so created I then add a certain
quantity of water or as is perhaps preferable of pure spirit or alcohol and water in
due proportions and thoroughly mix the same therewith and then the whole
compound can be poured out or placed iuto shapes or moulds and the like or
otherwise be allowed or caused to dry and set and harden whereafter it can be
divided or cut up if necessary into the desired tablets or blocks and is ready for
distribution.
These tablets or blocks can be prepared for use and consumption in any
convenient and customary manner it may perhaps preferably be by dissolving the
same in water or other suitable liquid in the desired quantity and proportions and
then allowing or causing the resultant product to set in moulds or they are miscible
with various ordinary articles of food or they can even be consumed as lozenges or
they can be used in many and various other ways.

page_text: An Improved Preparation of Jellies and such like Dietetic Materials
in a Tablet or Block Form.
JACOB HUGH PAYNE, M.P.S. of 13 Sherwood Street Westminster in the
County of Middlesex Chemist 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 my invention is to provide and supply for distribution and
when desired for use and consumption jellies and such like dietetic materials in
such wise that the following excellences and advantages amongst many others
shall be experienced that is to say:-they shall be very portable-they shall keep
in good condition for a lengthened period-and they can when required very easily
and quickly be prepared for use and consumption-with which object I creato and
prepare these jellies and such like dietetic materials in a tablet or block form in
and by means of and through a very cheap and simple but highly efficient and
effective manner and method of treatment.
To carry out this object and to produce the required tablets or blocks I proceed
in the following manner. I take a certain desired quantity of good pure dry sugar
and if necessary I reduce the same into a finely granulated condition. I also take
a certain desired quantity of good pure isinglass or gelatine or other like material
and likewise if uecessary I reduce the same into a finely granulated condition or it
may even he into a fiue powder. The granulated or powdered sugar and isinglass
or gelatine or the like are then thoroughly mixed together in such proportions as
may be desired having regard to the product that is required and this mixture is
strengthened and flavoured as may be convenient or necessary it may be by a due
and proper proportion of citric acid and of any of the ordinary comestible flavours
and of any of the usual edible colours or of any one or more of them and the whole
mass is well and duly mixed together and sifted and otherwise treated in the usual
manner in respect of this art. To this mass so created as is herein before described
I then add a certain desired quantity of water pure and clean or as may very
frequently be preferable of pure spirit or alcohol and water in due proportions and
thoroughly mix the same therewith and the whole compound can be poured out or
placed or deposited into shapes or moulds when it may be desired so to do or into
or ou other custoinary appliances or devices or otherwise be allowed or caused to
dry and set and harden in any ordinary and convenient manner and by or through
or in any usual and suitable influences or means or apparatus. When properly set
and thoroughly solid this product can be divided or cut up if necessary into tablets
or blocks of any desired and convenient shapes and sizes. and is then ready for
distribution.
These tablets or blocks can be used and consumed directly and immediately as
lozenges and the like or can be prepared for use and consumption in any convenient
and customary manner it may perhaps preferably be by dissolving the same in
water or other suitable liquid in the desired quantity and proportions and then
allowing or causing the resultant product to set in moulds or shapes as is customary
with jellies and the like or it may be by mixing the same with various ordinary
articles of food or it may be by and in many and various other ordinary ways as
may in each case be appropriate and convenient.
It is indeed very plainly evident but still I would emphasize the fact that in
each particular case such quantities and proportions of the sugar and the isinglass
or gelatine or the like may be mixed together and this mixture may be strengthened
if desired by such a quantity and proportion of citric acid and may be flavoured

page_text: with such a quantity and proportion of any appropriate comestible flavour and
may be coloured if desired with such a quantity and proportion of any appropriate
edible colour and may be fortified if desired with such a quantity and proportion of
pure spirit or alcohol as will create in conjunction with water a product whereby
and wherefrom tablets or blocks can be produced in manner as is hereinbefore.
described that will have the appearance and the strength and the taste that may
suit the consumer and that these ingredients and materials herein before mentione l
and the quantities and proportions thereof as also the shapes and sizes of the
tablets or blocks can be varied as may be desirable and proper in each particular
case having regard to the wishes or desires or even the fancies of the consumer and
the other surrounding circumstances.
Notwithstanding this fact I will however now proceed to give a precise example
and all the details thereof by the exact following of which an extremely palatable.
jelly of quite sufficient strength will be produced.
take 10 lbs. of powdered dry sugar and 3 lbs. of powdered gelatine and
therewith I mix 5 ozs. of citric acid powder and 60 grs. of the desired edible
aniline colour. To this mass 1 add 4 ozs. of the desired fruit essence 10 ozs. of
water and 2 ozs. of alcohol and when the wholo compound is thoroughly mixed
together and if expedient or necessary poured out into shapes or moulds it is.
caused slowly to dry in a warm oven hented preferably by hot water. When this
compound is properly set and thoroughly solid tho whole quantity is equally
divided into 144 tablets or blocks and each of these tablets or blocks can be
dissolved in pint of hot water and the resultant product when cool and set is an
extremely palatable jelly of quite sufficient strength.
In a similar or corresponding manner other dietetic materials of a like nature.
could be produced of any appropriate or desired appearance and strength and
taste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
clain is:
1. The creation of tablets or blocks for the production of jellies and such like-
dietetic materials substantially as and in the manner and of the ingredients.
hereinbefore described and set forth.
2. The production of jellies and such like dietetic materials substantially as and.
in the manner herein before described and set forth.
