PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Apparatus for Crystalizing
Fondants and other Kinds of Confectionery Goods.
JOHN ALLRIGHT WHEELER 26 Stamford Street Blackfriars Confectioner do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This apparatus consists of Trays about three inches deep, made of Tin, or other
suitable material to hold the Fondants or other articles to be crystalized, and when filled,
are placed, one on top of the other, in an outside case or box, which is then filled up
with the Syrup used in the crystalizing process. The outside case has a hole in
the bottom, for drawing off the syrup when necessary, and each tray has a slit or
opening along the bottom of one of the sides to allow the syrup to drain from it, there
is also a return peice about two inches wide, along the top of the side where the
slit is, to prevent the syrup from the Tray above, dripping on to the goods
under it.
A peice of wirework is placed on the bottom of cach tray, for the Fondants to rest
upon, instead of resting upon the bottom of the tray itself."

JOHN ALLRIGHT WHEELER 26 Stamford Street Blackfriars Confectioner 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:-
This apparatus consists of three parts
First. An outside vessel or tank, made of galvanized Iron, or other suitable
material, about 18 inches square, and 20 inches deep, with a hole near the bottom,
connected with a tap or otherwise, for letting off the syrup used in the crystalizing
process. Two peices of flat iron, about a quarter of an inch in thickness, are fastened
along the bottom and up the front of the inside of the tank to assist the drainage of
the trays.
2nd. Trays made of tin, or other suitable material, about three inches deep, to hold
the Fondants, or other goods, of a size to allow them to be placed inside the first part.
These trays are made with slits or openings along the lower part of one side, to allow
cach tray to drain when the syrup is drawn off, and the top part of the same side, has
a return peice sufficiently wide, to prevent the syrup from the tray above, dripping on.
the Fondants under it during the process of draining.
3rd. Peices of wirework, made to fit into the bottom of the trays, so that the
Fondants rest on the wirework, instead of the bottom of the trays.
In draining off the syrup, the whole apparatus should be tilted forward at a sufficient
angle to drain the trays thoroughly.
The dimentions of the apparatus may be varied according to requirements.
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,
1st. The arrangement of putting a number of Crystalizing tins into a vessel on
tank and covering them with syrup.
2nd. The construction and arrangement of the tank and trays, whereby each tray
drains independantly of the others.
Dated this 8th day of October 1888.
