IMPROVEMENTS IN VESSELS FOR BOILING BREWERS' WORTS AND OTHER LIQUIDS."
Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Charles Augustus Moss and Thomas Johnson, both of
Stockport, in the County of Chester, and Richard Wright, of Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN VESSELS FOR
BOILING BREWERS' WORTS AND OTHER LIQUIDS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Augustus Moss,
Thomas Johnson, & Richard Wright at the Office of the Commissioners of
Patents on the 22nd January 1880.
CHARLES AUGUSTUS Moss and THOMAS JOHNSON, both of Stockport, in the
County of Chester, and RICHARD WRIGHT, of Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster. "IMPROVEMENTS IN VESSELS FOR BOILING BREWERS' WORTS AND OTHER
LIQUIDS."
Our improvements are applicable to those vessels known as jacket or cavity
steam pans used for boiling worts, brewers' liquors, chemicals, and other liquids.
Our Invention consists in applying inside the above-inentioned vessels one or more
cross tubes rivetted or otherwise fastened in the inner pan and connecting the
opposite sides of the cavity, so as to get a free circulation of steam through the
tube or tubes, thereby obtaining a greater amount of heating surface in the body
of the liquid, and raising it to the boiling point in a much shorter time than can be
done by pans of the ordinary construction.

the said Charles Augustus Moss, Thomas Johnson, & Richard Wright in the
Great Seal Patent Office on the 17th July 1880.
CHARLES AUGUSTUS Moss and THOMAS JOHNSON, both of Stockport, in the
County of Chester, and RICHARD WRIGHT, of Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster. "IMPROVEMENTS IN VESSELS FOR BOILING BREWERS' WORTS AND
OTHER LIQUIDS."
Our Invention is applicable to those vessels known as jacketted or cavity steam
pans used for boiling worts, brewers' liquor, chemicals, and other liquids, and
consists in applying inside the above mentioned vessels one or more cross tubes
rivetted or otherwise fastened in the inner pan and connecting the opposite sides
of the cavity, so as to get a free circulation of steam through the tube or tubes,
thereby obtaining a greater amount of heating surface in the body of the liquid,
and raising it to the boiling point in a much shorter time than can be done by pans
of the ordinary construction. And in order that our Invention may be fully
understood and readily carried into effect, we will describe the accompanying Sheet
of Drawings, reference being had to the figures and letters marked thereon. Fig. 1
is an elevation in section, and Fig. 2 is a plan of a steam-jacketted boiling pan to
which our Invention is applied. The steam cavity, which extends round the sides
and bottom of the pan, is marked a; b and c are the cross tubes connecting the
opposite sides of the steam cavity. We have shewn two cross tubes in the
Drawings, but one or other number may be used. When steam is admitted into
the cavity it circulates through the tubes and diffuses the heat through the body
of the liquid in the pan and rapidly raises it to the boiling point.
Having thus stated the nature of our Invention and described the manner of
performing the same, we wish it to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to
the details given, as the same may be varied or modified, and we declare that we
claim, the application of cross tubes to steam jacketted pans for heating liquids,
substantially as shewn and described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Augustus Moss, for myself and on
behalf of the said Thomas Johnson and Richard Wright, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of July, One thousand eight hundred
and night
