boxes or frames are then placed in a vessel on container capable of being her-
metically closed and they are therein subjected to an atmospheric pressure of
from to 3 atmospheres The an within the container 18 dried and sterilized
In order to dry it fresh quicklime may be placed in the container and in order
to sterilize it vapour of formalin or other equivalent sterilizing substance may
be injected In many cases the latter measure is not necessarv Instead of
drying and sterilizing the air within the vessel the an may be dried and sterilized
before admission into the vessel in which case the an originally in the vessel is
displaced by the dried and sterilized air Eggs kept within a vessel containing
air so treated may be preserved for a long period

In order to dry it fresh quicklime may be placed in the container and in order
to sterilize it vapour of formalin or other equivalent sterilizing substance may
be injected In many cases the latter measure is not necessary Instead of
drying and sterilizing the air within the vessel the air may be dried and sterilized
before admission into the vessel in which case the air originally in the vessel is
displaced by the dried and sterilized an Eggs kept within a vessel containing
air so treated may be preserved for a long period
We desire it to be understood that in stating that the pressure is to be from }
to 3 atmospheres we use the term "pressure as generally used in the trade in
Denmark, that is to say as meaning from 1 to 3 atmospheres above the ordinary
atmospheric pressure In other words we use a pressure which would in England
be styled a pressure of 1 to 4 atmospheres.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same 18 to be performed, we declare that what
we claim 18—
1. The new or improved method of preserving eggs substantially as set forth
2 In a new or improved method of preserving eggs, maintaining them in
an air-tight compartment under a constant pressure of from 1 to 4 atmospheres.
