PATENT OFFICE

In the present apparatus, the wax of the honeycomb is steamed melted and then priced and deducted.

In the drawing shows:

Fig. Ι a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 is a top view, 3 shows the apparatus with the press inserted, FIGS. 4 and 5 sections through the water container of the apparatus, and FIG. 6 shows a Horizontal section through the press above the abutment.

The apparatus has a vessel a, which in its lower part is provided with a sloping bottom b , and thus forms in its lower part a space c for receiving the water from which the steam for melting the wax is to be developed. The space c is filled with water through an elbow pipe d ; the upright knee of the latter is closed by a pierced plug e , which at the top carries a conical safety valve / loaded by a spring, which allows steam to escape if the permissible vapor tension in space c is exceeded . A ring g fastened in the vessel a near the upper edge carries the prefstopf i, which is provided with sieve holes k only on the lower third of its circumference and the bottom of which is correspondingly stiffened by bands / through the intermediary of the seal h. Two other bands m on the floor are led up on the sides and carry screw pins m ¹ , on which the abutment 0 for the screw spindle ρ is fastened by means of wing nuts η. The screw spindle ρ is provided with a removable handle p ^l at the top and carries the correspondingly perforated and reinforced with iron strips, the prefilling plate p ² . The inside of Prefstopfes i is filled by a Prefsbasche g , which is provided on the upper circumference with four loops q ^l , by means of which the bag q is attached to the two screw bolts τη ¹ and two pins ^ ² . The apparatus has a steam pipe r into which a three-way tap r ^{1 is} switched on, which either directs the steam from the space c into the space above the Prefstopfes i or, as FIG. 3 shows, lets it enter the open air, depending on which Tap r ^{1 is set by} means of handle r ² .

The screws s bent over the beaded edge ά ^{1 of} the vessel α hold the lid w by means of a sealing cord t , which is provided with two handles w ¹ and can be tightened by means of wing screws s ^l. The vessel α is provided just above the bottom / with an outlet ν for the molten wax, to which a straight extension tube is attached when in use; a little higher and to the side of the same another pipe w is connected to the vessel, which is provided with a kneelike downward drain and serves to discharge the steam. The steam is conducted from the pipe w to a pot filled with water, so that it condenses in the same. Handles χ on the outer vessel α are used for easy transport of the same. The screw bolts s engage

cuts on the straps y that stiffen the lid a; in this way an easy and quick removal of the cover is made possible. In use, the apparatus is first filled with water in its lower space c at the appropriate height and then set on fire after it has been appropriately set up and filled. The Prefsvorrichtung is η under unscrewing the wing nuts and lifting off of the abutment ο together with screw ρ and Prefsdeckel p ² excavated, inserted into the Prefstopf i of Prefsbeutel q and the bolt m \ and by means of the pins CF of the loops q ^l attached, is then the inside of the prefabricated bag is filled with the honeycombs to be melted and pressed out, the lid u is put on and fastened in a vapor-tight manner by means of the wing nuts s ¹ with the aid of the sealing cord t. When the action of the fire has developed enough steam in the water space c , the three-way tap r ^{1 is} turned by means of the handle r ^{2 in} such a way that the steam flows into the space via the prefabricated pot i , penetrates the honeycombs in it and the wax the same melts. When all the wax has melted, the three-way stopcock r ^{1 is set in} such a way that the steam developed in c flows outwards (see position in Fig. 3), that is, it does not appear annoying or dangerous when you continue to work on the apparatus. Then the cover u is loosened, the prefab bag q is lifted off the bolts m ¹ and pins q ² and the abutment bridge 0 is fastened by means of the screws η.

Then, by means of the handle p ^1, the prefs plate p ² fastened to the screw ρ is pressed onto the prefabricated bag and the melted honeycomb and the melted wax is thus squeezed out of the prefabricated pot; the same collects below the prefstopfes i on the inclined floor b and is drawn off through the pipe ν . When melting, the knee of the tube w is immersed in a pot filled with water, so that the steam flowing out condenses. The lower-lying drain pipe ν for the wax is closed with a cork stopper, which is removed before pressing so that the wax can flow into a vessel with water placed in front of the drain pipe.

Claims (1)

Patent claim: A wax-melting apparatus, characterized in that the prefabricated pot i, perforated like a sieve in its lower part, is suspended in a vapor-tight manner in a vessel α which is provided with a steam- developing space c , from which the steam is directed through a ^{pipe r provided with a three-way valve r 1} over the prefabricated pot is to penetrate the honeycomb from top to bottom with the lid of the vessel α closed, whereupon after:; Shutting off the steam inflow and removing the lid η from the vessel α an abutment 0 provided with a screw spindle ρ and pre-filling plate p " ^{1 is} attached to the prefstopf and the wax is squeezed out. 1 sheet of drawings.
