PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Extracting Juices from Fruit.
I, MATILDA PENSTONE of The Reddings Cheltenham Gloucestershire (no
calling) do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to extract the juice from fruits while being boiled
or under the influence of heat. In an ordinary pan or receiver I place a hollow
vessel open at the bottom, and with a slight aperture at the top.
The pan or
receiver is perforated at about the bottom or one of the sides, and a small tube
passes through and fits into the bottom of the hollow.vessel before mentioned. The
pipe outside the pan is fitted with a small tap. I fill my pan or receiver with fruit
and place the same upon the fire. The juices will commence to gather inside the
hollow vessel, the bottom edges of which may be slightly serrated to allow the
juice to more easily enter the tap or valve on the pipe outside the pan so as to
allow the juice to drop or run gently through the same. I propose that my pan
may be made of enamelled iron, and the hollow vessel should be made of glazed
earthenware or enamelled iron, and the pipe connecting the same to the outside
may be either enamelled iron or glass, or such like materials as will allow the hole
to be thoroughly and easily cleansed. The before mentioned parts may be either
fixed definitely together, or they may be made removable or detachable so as to
allow the pan to be used for other purposes in which case a small screw cap is
arranged to fit over the aperture through which the pipe passes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Extracting Juices from Fruit.
I, MATILDA PENSTONE of The Reddings, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (no calling),
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 :-
My invention relates to improved apparatus for extracting juices from fruit,
and has for its object to extract such juice with the aid of heat.
In an ordinary pan or receiver I place a hollow vessel open at the bottom and
with a slight aperture at the top. The pan or receiver is perforated at about the
bottom or one of the sides, and a small tube is inserted therethrough and fits into
the side of the hollow vessel before mentioned. The pipe outside the pan is fitted
with a small tap.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a central section and Figure 2 a plan of
my improved stew pan. a is the pan or receiver which is made circular as shown
in Fig. 2, and is furnished centrally with a hollow cup shaped vessel opened at
the bottom which is placed a short distance above the bottom of the pana and
closed at the top but for a small aperture g. The inner end of the pipe c which is
closed by a small perforated disc is inserted as shown in Figure 1 in the vessel b
close to the bottom thereof, its outer end being connected in any suitable manner
with one end of the pipe d, the other end of which is filled with a hollow plug of
india rubber, wood, or other suitable material in which is forced or screwed, the
screw threaded end of the tap f. The pan is furnished with two handles h.

page_text: I fill the pan or receiver a with fruit, and place the same upon any suitable fire.
The juices will commence to gather inside the hollow vessel, the bottom edges of
which may be in some cases slightly serrated to allow the juice to more easily enter the
perforated dise of the pipe This juice runs along the latter pipe and the pipe d,
and is discharged by the tap into any suitable vessel. The pan a may be made of
enamelled iron, and the hollow vessel of glazed earthenware or enamelled iron,
while the pipes c d connecting the latter vessel to the outside, may be either made
of enamelled iron, or glass, or of such material as will allow the whole apparatus
to be thoroughly and easily cleaned. The various parts of the apparatus may
either be fixed permanently together or may be made removable or detachable
therefrom, so as to allow the pan to be used for other purposes, in which case a
small screw cap is arranged to fit over the aperture through which the pipe d passes.
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
claim is :-
The improved apparatus or pan for extracting juices from fruits arranged and
combined substantially as herein described and shown and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 4th day of July 1891.
