Year: 1863

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Joseph Badart, of No. 9, Bishopsgate Street, in the
City of London, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PREPARATION
OP RAPE SEED CAKE, LINSEED CAXE, POPPY SEED CAKE, NIGER SEED CAKE,
SESSEME SEED CAKE, AND GROUND NUT CAKE."
Sealed the 14th July 1863, and dated the 1st May 1863.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Joseph Badart at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 1st
May 1868.
I, JOSEPHI BADART, of No. 9, Bishopsgate Street, in the City of London, do
hereby declare the nature of the Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
PREPARATION OF RAPE SEED CAKE, LINSEED CAKE, POPPY SEED CAKE, NIGER SEED
CAKE, SESSEME SEED CAKE, AND GROUND NUT CAKE," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the preparation of rape
seed cake, linseed cake, poppy seed cake, niger seed cake, sesseme sced cake
and ground nut cake. The several cakes above mentioned, which are obtained
when pressing the several seeds or the ground nut to obtain oil therefrom, arc
employed for feeding cattle, but they are damaged if they are kept for any
length of time. In order to avoid this liability to damage I submit these
cakes, after they come from the press, and when they are in the state in which
5 they are usually sent into the market, to a dessicating or drying process. I
place the cakes in frames or racks in a drying chamber at a temperature, by
preference, of about 180° Fahrenheit, and I keep them in this chamber until

page_text: all or nearly all the moisture which will evaporate from the cakes at this
temperature has passed off'; about 24 hours is a suitable time; the cakes aro
then taken out of the chamber and packed or stored. This process does not
in any way injure the cakes as food for cattle, and will enable them to bear
keeping for a considerable timo without deterioration.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Joseph Badart in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
31st October 1863.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOSEPH
BADART, of No. 9, Bishopsgate Street, in the City of London, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the First day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, in the twenty-sixth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said Joseph Badart, Her special licence, that I, the said Joseph Badart,
iny executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said
Joseph Badart, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time
agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during
the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the
Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "INPROVEMENTS IN THE
PREPARATION OF RAPE SEED CAKE, LINSEED CAKE, POPPY SEED CAKE, NIGER
SEED CAKE, SESSEME SEED CAKE, AND GROUND NUT CAKE," upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said Joseph Badart, my executors or adminis-
trators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their
hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of
the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed,
and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Lettors
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Joseph Badart, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement thereof, that is to say:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the preparation of rape
seed cake, linseed cake, poppy seed cake, niger seed cake, sessome seed cake,

page_text: and ground nut cake. The several cakes above mentioned, which are obtained
when pressing the several seeds or the ground nut to obtain oil therefrom, are
employed for feeding cattle, but they are damaged if they are kept for any
length of time. In order to avoid this liability to damage I submit theso
cakes, after they come from the press, and when they are in the state in which
they are usually sent into the market, to a dessicating or drying process. I
place the cakes in frames or racks in a drying chamber at a temperature, by
preference, of about 180° Fahrenheit, and I keep them in this chamber until
all or nearly all the moisture which will evaporate from the cakes at this
temperaturo has passed off; about 24 hours is a suitable time; the cakes are
then taken out of the chamber and packed or stored. This process does not
in any way injure the cakes as food for cattle, and will enable them to bear
keeping for a considerable time without deterioration.
The Drawings hereunto annexed show a frame or rack suitable for being
used for this purpose.
Figure 1 shows a section of one of the frames or racks, and Figure 2 shows
a front view of part of the same; each frame or rack is made of such length
as to extend from end to end of the drying chamber, and is formed in such
manner that the cakes are placed on edgo between the bars of the frame or
rack.
a, a, a, are the upright bars between which the oil cakes are set up on edge;
b, b, are the horizontal bars of the frames or racks on which the edges of the
cakes rest when piled between the upright bars a, a, a. The requisite heat is
obtained by horizontal steam pipes c, c, c, which are connected together by the
pipes d, d.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Badart, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.
