page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Augustus Arnold Schlesinger, residing at 5, Duncan
Terrace, City Road, in the County of Middlesex, London, Merchant, for the
Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN CHURNS AND EGG BEATERS, APPLICABLE TO
ICE CREAM AND OTHER FREEZERS."
Sealed the 6th February 1877, in pursuance of an Order of the Lord Chancellor,
and dabad the 7th July 1876
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Augustus Arnold Schlesinger
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 7th July 1876.
AUGUSTUS ARNOLD SCHLESINGER, residing at 5, Duncan Terrace, City Road,
" IMPROVEMENTS IN CHURNS AND
in the County of Middlesex, London, Merchant
EGG BEATERS, APPLICABLE TO ICE CREAM AND OTHER FREEZERS."
I fit a circular or square or other conveniently shaped box with a tightly fitting
lid, the bottom of the said box being perfectly flat. Through the centre of the lid
is a small hole, through which a piston or plunger is worked upwards and down-
wards. On the inside of the lid is fastened a funnel shaped piece of metal or other
material, the point of which funnel is reduced to fit the plunger. This funnel I fill
with sponge, tow, or other soft substance, which has the effect of preventing any
liquid or substance brought up by the plunger passing through the lid on to its
outer surface. At the bottom or lower end of the plunger I fix a perfectly flat
perforated disc or plate, which disc or plate should be the same shape as the box or
recepticle in which it is moved up and down, that is to say, if the box or recepticle
is circular the disc should be circular too, or if any other shape it is advisable to
have the dise the same shape as the bottom of the box, but slightly smaller, so as to
admit of its being moved up and down without rubbing the sides of the box.
Above this disc or plate I fix similar discs at small spaces apart, two or three discs
being sufficient. In the lower or bottom disc I find it preferable to make the per-
forations much larger than those in the upper ones. It is imperative that the discs
are made perfectly flat, as it gives them (especially the lower one) a squeezing,
grinding, or pressing power which cones or cups are devoid of, besides which they
are easier to clean, cheaper to make, quicker and more effectual in their action. J
find zinc, boxwood, or sycamore the best materials to make the discs out of.

of an Order of the Lord Chancellor, by the said Augustus Arnold Schlesinger

I fix a circular, square, or other conveniently shaped box, with a tight fitting
lid, the bottom of the said box being perfectly flat. Through the centre of the lid
is a small hole, through which a piston or plunger is worked upwards and down-
wards. On the inside of the lid is fastened a funnel shaped piece of metal or other
substance, the point of which funnel is reduced to fit the plunger. This funnel I
fill with sponge, or other soft substance, which has the effect of preventing the
plunger bringing up the liquid and depositing it outside the lid. At the bottom or
lower end of the plunger I fix a flat perforated disc or plate, which disc or plate it
is preferable to make the same shape as the box or receptacle in which it is moved
up and down, that is to say, if the box is circular the disc should be circular too, or
if oblong or square it should be the same shape as the bottom of the box, but slightly
smaller, so as to admit of its being worked without rubbing the sides. Above this
dise at small spaces apart I fix similar ones, two or three being sufficient. I find it
preferable to make larger perforations in the lower or bottom disc than those in the
upper ones. It is imperative that the discs be perfectly flat, as they have a
squeezing or pressing power which cones or cups are devoid of, especially the bottom
one, besides which they are easier to clean, cheaper to make, also being quicker and
more effectual in their action. I find zinc, boxwood, or sycamore the best materials
to make the discs of.
Having now described the nature of the said Invention, and incidentally intimated
in what manner the same is to be performed, I will now proceed, aided by the Drawings
accompanying these presents, to further and particularly describe and ascertain in
what manner the same is to be performed or carried out in practice, that is to
say
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.

In these Figures a represents the box with lid b; c, opening in centre of lid; d,
piston or plunger passed through the said hole in the lid; e, e, e, perforated flat
discs or plates, said discs or plates being formed to the shape of the box.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of the
said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed or carried out in
practice, I hereby declare that I claim as my Invention, the flat perforated discs
e, e, e, (united by a solid spindle,) applied to a churn, egg beater, or freezer used, fixed,
and combined, substantially as herein-before set forth and described and illustrated
by the accompanying Drawings.
