A New or Improved Pressure Apparatus for Pickling Meat and
the like, Sausage Filling, and like purposes
I, KARL BAUM, of Mannheim, L2 11, Germany, Merchant, 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 invention relates to a new or improved pressure apparatus for pickling
meat or the like in a quick and ready manner, which can also be used as a sausage
or the like filling apparatus
In the annexed drawing Fig 1 shows the apparatus in vertical section
shows the apparatus in plan view Fig 3 shows the apparatus in side view
Fig. 2
When impiegnating and pickling meat a water hose of the apparatus is fixed
on the cock of the water inlet the impregnating liquid is poured through the
filling funnel H into the vertical cylinder A, the piston B is consequently
pressed downwards the air entering through the cock J which must have been
previously opened. The air cock J and the filling funnel cock are then closed
The cock C of the water inlet is then opened the water outlet cock G being
closed The pressure of the water entering through the cock and the inlet
opening in the middle of the cylinder bottom moves the piston B upwards in the
cylinder A and presses the pickling or impregnating liquid lying over the piston
through the hent tube D and through the hose E fixed on the
latter and through the holes of the hollow dismountable Jet needle F,
(regulatable by means of a cock), into the meat to be impregnated, as
the needle, after the impregnating liquid leaves its jet holes, is introduced slowly
in such a manner according to its size at different places of the meat in the
direction of the meat fibre, until the same is sufficiently impregnated
When the piston B has alived at the upper end of the cylinder and the
impregnating liquid is consumed, the cock of the water inlet of the apparatus 18
closed and the pressure water in the cylude under the piston is let out through
the escape cock G, the piston B 18 pressed downwards towards the cylinder bottom
and the air cock J is opened
The cylinder A is then again filled and the process is repeated
When the apparatus is to be used for filling sausage skins, bladders, or the
like, the following devices are used which are arranged on the apparatus in a
fixed or detachable manner The cylinder cover is taken off the bow 0 of the
piston rod being detachable and the sausage filling is placed into the cylinder,
an intermediary plate N provided with a passage for the piston rod is laid between
the cylinder and its cover for the purpose of closing the cover openings and 18
then fixed simultaneously with the cover by means of fly nuts or other convenient
fastenings on the cylinder The piece M fitting exactly into the projection L
on the upper end of the cylinder 18 taken out, the sausage filling funnel is inserted
into the projection and the skin 18 pulled thereover. The operation of the
apparatus is as before described, the pressure of the piston presses the sausage
filling into the skin intended for its reception.

page_text: When making use of gravity the water admission remains closed and the water
escape cock G, which serves as air cock remains open. On the two downwardly
bent ends of the piston rod bow O hooks or rings are attached which are arranged
on the wire cord, chain or the like running over two pulleys fixed above the
apparatus and guiding the weight or weights P This weight is attached to the
cord and its gravity moves the piston upwards and operates the apparatus
For an increased pressure the apparatus allows the simultaneous application
of water pressure and pressure by means of the driving weight
The inner wall of the cylinder is covered with any material which will prevent
the formation of rust and verdigris, thus the cylinder may be interiorly enameled,
tinued, nickeled or the like This protective covering must be strong enough to
last for many years use and may be called a protecting mantle forming one piece
with the cylinder The cylinder could also have an interior lining of wood, glass,
porcelain or the like The purpose of this in either case is that the parts of the
apparatus which come into contact with the pickle or impregnating material are
proof against acids.
The two cylinder flanges are rendered tight by means of rubber or the like
ring or washers
On the piston rod there are arranged marks, which are visible over the stuffing
box and which show, when the apparatus is filled or empty
The bottom border of the under part has screw holes or other suitable means
for allowing the fastening of the apparatus to the floor or other support
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same 18 to be performed I declare that what I
claim is -
1 A new or improved pressure apparatus for impregnating meat and the like
with pickling or other solutions, or for use as a sausage filling apparatus wherem
the solutions or sausage filling material or the like is fed by the pressure of a
piston operated upon by water pressure or driving weights or the combination
thereof.
2. In the apparatus for the purpose set forth the construction for the use of
water pressure or pressure by driving weights, or by water pressure increased by
pressure by driving weights substantially as and for the purpose set forth
3 In the apparatus for the purpose set forth the combined pickling and sausage
filling device having a closable feed outlet
4. In the apparatus for the purpose set forth the addition of an inserted cylinder
lining for preventing the formation of rust and verdigris and the application of
acid resisting material for all parts coming in contact with the pickling or other
solutions
5 In the apparatus for the purpose set forth the arrangement of marks by
means of which it can be ascertained from the outside whether the interior of the
cylinder is filled or empty or the amount of the contents thereof
