We, LEOPOLD HAMMER, and EMANUEL SLAMA, both of 41'Siebenbrunngasse,
Vienna, V, in the Empire of Austria, Gentlemen, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
- 1
Our invention relates to devices for maintaining a uniform temperature in vessels.
These devices consist of receptacles which are either provided with double walls
and in which the space between the latter is filled up with particularly bad
conductors of heat, or whose walls are made of such bad conductors of heat.
The aforesaid receptacles are designed for taking up bottles, jars, or other
vessels, the contents of which are to retain their temperature, whether the latter be
high or low.
In principle our said invention comprises a receptacle which is adapted as nearly
as possible to the form of the vessel to be taken up in its interior and may
accordingly possess a box-shaped, bottle-shaped or any other form.
All the walls of this receptacle are either double, so that between them remains
a free space which is filled with bad conductors of heat, such as for instance
sawdust, wool, hair, cork, felt, waste leather, paper, asbestos, various vegetable
materials or the like, or they are produced directly from such bad conductors of
heat by means of casting or pressing moulds or in any other desired manner.
receptacles may be made of two parts hinged together for facilitating the
introduction of the vessels to be placed therein.
Such
-
When the vessel with the contents to be kept at a uniform temperature is placed
in the interior of the receptacle and the cover of the latter is closed the contents of
the vessel will retain for a long time the temperature which it possesses, whether
this temperature be low or high.

We, LEOPOLD HAMMER, and EMANUEL SLAMA, both of 41 Siebenbrunngasse,
Vienna, V, in the Empire of Austria, Gentlemen, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manuer the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to devices for maintaining a uniform temperature in vessels
and comprises receptacles provided with double walls, the intermediate space
between which is filled with any appropriate material which is a bad conductor of
TQ71

page_text: meat or receptacles which are made entirely of such material. The invention also
comprises glass and metal receptacles all serving for the purpose of retaining for a
long time the original temperature in liquids or other food stuffs and the like
placed in such receptacles;
In the accompanying drawing several constructional forms of such devices are
illustrated,
Figure 1 represents a vertical section through a receptacle of this kind.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through a receptacle serving to receive a bottle
shaped vessel.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a receptacle constructed according to Figure 1
with its cover open.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a receptacle serving to receive a number of
bottles.
Figure 5 is a vertical section through a jar shaped receptacle made of cast or
pressed material which is a had conductor of heat.
Figure 6 represents a bottle shaped receptacle and
Figure 7 a circular receptacle each of them being covered with a bad conductor
of heat and provided with screw closing device.
Figure 8 illustrates a dish box or carrier consisting of several dismountable
parts.
Figure 9 is a dish box, into which the food receptacles are inserted laterally and
Figures 10 and 11 represent two further constructional forms of dish transporting
devices.
This invention substantially consists of a box or receiver 6 which is as nearly as
possible adapted to the shape of the vessel to be inserted into its inner space c and
which accordingly, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 of the drawing, is of box, bottle
or other shape. All the walls of this receptacle are double and firmly connected
to each other while a free space d is formed between them, in which latter is placed
a material which is a bad conductor of heat such as wool, saw dust, hair, felt, waste
leather, paper, asbestos various kinds of vegetable matter packed or stamped or
otherwise inserted. If now the respective vessel, the contents of which is to be
kept at a uniform temperature is placed into the inner space c of the receiver, and
the cover a of the latter is then closed, the said contents of the inserted vessel will
for a comparatively long time be retained at the temperature which it possessed
when introduced into the vessel, irrespective of whether this temperature is a low
or a high one.
A modification of the before described arrangement is illustrated in Figure 5;
the same consists of a receptacle produced by casting or pressure from a bad
conductor of heat, the said receptacle comprising two parts and provided with a
hinge joint ef and serving to enclose the vessel containing the food or the like.
The same may of course be of box, bottle, jar, or other shape.
A further modification is illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 in which the vessel proper
which receives the food stuffs and the like, is made of glass, metal or any other
material, the same having according to Figure 6, for instance, the shape of a
bottle and according to Figure 7 the shape of a circular receiver or jar h. At
their upper extremities the receptacles g and h are screw threaded at i so as
to fit corresponding threads on the covers k. These receptacles g and h are
covered in a suitable manner with a layer of a bad conductor of heat such as a
woody substance, asbestos or the like, cast pressed or otherwise attached thereto,
which layer encases the whole receptacle with the exception of the screw threaded
part referred to. The cover on the other hand is entirely coated with a bad
conductor of heat and is inwardly provided with a corresponding female screw
thread so as to enable the receptacle to be closed.
Further constructional forms are represented in Figures 8 to 11, Figure 8
illustrating a heat retaining apparatus for receiving plurality of vessels and more
especially applicable as a dish box or carrier. The apparatus is adapted to be
separated into several parts which can be connected together by means of straps m

page_text: or other similar arrangement. The application of such dish box or carrier is such
that the first food vessel or the like is placed in the lowermost part I, subsequently
the tubular part II open at both ends is placed upon the part I, then the second
food vessel or the like is inserted and finally the top cover III is put on, whereupon
the different constituent parts of the outer receptacle are firmly connected by
means of the straps m. Figures 9 and 10 represent variously shaped receptacles,
into which the food vessels or the like are inserted laterally, whilst Figure 11
illustrates a basket shaped receptacle for receiving two vessels.
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 :--
1. A device for maintaining a uniform temperature in food vessels or the like
substantially consisting of a receptacle 6 Figures 1 to 4 with double walls, the
intermediate spaces d of which are filled up with any suitable material which is a
bad conductor of heat.
2. A modification of the device described in the first claim, consisting in
producing a receptacle of a material which is a bad conductor of heat made in two
halves hinged together and forming when connected a box, bottle or jar shaped
receptacle serving to enclose the food vessel or the like as shown Figure 5.
3. A modification of the apparatus described in the first and 2nd claims,
consisting of a receptacle g, h of any desired shape, of glass, metal or the like, this
receptacle being externally covered with a bad conductor of heat I pressed, cast or
otherwise attached to it in such a manner that only the upper extremity provided
with screw thread i remains uncovered, upon which screw threaded part the top
cover k provided with a corresponding female screw thread and likewise externally
covered with bad conductor of heat, pressed cast or otherwise attached to it, can be
screwed.
4. A modification of the apparatus described in the first, second and third claims,
constructed so as to form a dish box or carrier Figure 8 consisting of dismountable
parts I, II, III made of a bad conductor of heat and connected by straps m.
5. A modification of the apparatus described in the first, second, third and
fourth claims, constructed so as to form dish carrying or transporting apparatus
Figures 9, 10, 11 made of a bad conductor of heat, opening either laterally or at
the top for receiving vessels containing food stuffs,
