Description

Dispositif de maintien de Corps solides dann un liquide. Dans les eonserves alimentaires com- posees de Corps solides se trouvant Jans un licliiide, par exemple de fruits trempant dann iin sirop ou de Cornichons, de petits oig-nons placps dann un liquide acide, il se produit souvent qu'une Partie des Corps solides 6mer- gent du liquide. Ceci provient sofft du fait que Ces Corps flottem. dann ledit liquide, sofft qu'ä la longue ils en absorbent une (frande quantite et gonflent. Il en resulte Finconvenient que la Partie des Corps 6mer- geant du liquide s'altere au point de devenir inutilisable. Device for maintaining solid bodies in a liquid. In food preserves composed of solid bodies in a liquid, for example fruit soaked in syrup or gherkins, small onions placed in an acidic liquid, it often happens that a part of the solid bodies 6 emerge from the liquid. This comes sofft from the fact that These Bodies float. in the said liquid, they may in time absorb a large quantity and swell. This results in the inconvenience that the Part of the Bodies 6 emerging from the liquid deteriorates to the point of becoming unusable.

La presente invention a pour but de re- niedier ä cet inconvenient et elle a pour obj.3t un dispositif de maintien de Corps solides dann un liquide, Ces Corps et ce liquide eta)it contenus dann un recipient. The object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback and its object is a device for holding solid bodies in a liquid, these bodies and this liquid being contained in a container.

Ce diapositif est caracterise en ce qu'il comporte une piece de forme telle quelle epouse la forme de la section interne du r6ci- gient, cette pike etant destink ä etre placee ä' T'interieur de ce dernier, pour appuyer sar lesdits Corps solides et kant constituee de maniere ä. pouvoir se deplacer selon Faxe du reeipient, au moins une ouverture etant me- nagee dans la pike pour relier les deux faees opposees de celle-ei. This slide is characterized in that it comprises a piece of shape such that it matches the shape of the internal section of the receptacle, this pike being intended to be placed inside the latter, to support said solid bodies. and kant constituted in such a way. to be able to move along the face of the container, at least one opening being made in the pike to connect the two opposite faces of it.

La pike peut Atre en bois, en verre, en. porcelaine, en mkal incorrosif, etc. Sa face venant en contact avec les Corps solides peut eire iiicurvee (concave ou convexe) pour em- pecher Femprisonnement de bulles d'air sous la pike. The pike can be made of wood, glass,. porcelain, in corrosive metal, etc. Its face coming into contact with solid bodies can be curved (concave or convex) to prevent the trapping of air bubbles under the pike.

Le dispositif peut en outre cemporter des moy ens permettant de fixer ladite pike ä Pinterieur du recipient poiu mai.ntenir une certaine Pression sur les Corps solides. Ces moyens sont specialement necessaires lorsque 1a. pike n'a qu'un faible poids, par exemple lorsqu'elle est en bois. The device may also include means for fixing said pike inside the container in order to hold a certain pressure on the solid bodies. These means are especially necessary when 1a. pike has only a low weight, for example when made of wood.

Dans sa forme d'execution la plus simple, 1e dispositif peut consister en un treillis me- tallique, borde dune Partie cylindrique, des moyens permettant de croeher ce treillis ä des hauteurs variables dans 1e recipient. Ladite Partie cylindrique peut etre rsmplack, par exemple, par au moins trois languettes m6tal- liques dont 1e röle est de maintenir 1e treillis perpendiculairement ä Faxe du recipient. In its simplest form of execution, the device may consist of a metal mesh, bordered by a cylindrical part, means enabling this mesh to be clamped at variable heights in the container. Said cylindrical part can be replaced, for example, by at least three metal tabs whose role is to hold the mesh perpendicular to the container.

Le dessin a.nnexe represente, ä titre d'exemple. trois forrnes d'exkution du dispo- sitif. The attached drawing shows, by way of example. three forms of execution of the device.

La fi-. 1 montre en coupe un bocal ä con- serves comportant une Premiere forme d'exe- cution du dispo.sitif; La fib. ? est une vue analogue montrant une deuxieme forme d'exkution: La fig. 3 est un plan de la piece desti- nee ä appuyer sur les corps solides, des deux formes d'exkution .des fig. 1 et 2; La fig. 4 est une coupe verticale, et La fig. 5 est une coupe horizontale dune troisieme forme d'exkution. The fi-. 1 shows in section a mason jar comprising a first embodiment of the device; The fib. ? is a similar view showing a second form of execution: FIG. 3 is a plan of the piece intended to press against solid bodies, of the two embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2; fig. 4 is a vertical section, and fig. 5 is a horizontal section of a third form of execution.

Les memes chiffres üe refkence indiquent des organes semblables dans toutes les figures du dessin. The same reference numbers indicate similar members in all the figures of the drawing.

Daus les deux formes d'execution des fig. 1 et 2, la pike est semblable, mais les moyens permettant de la fixer ä Finterieur du recipient sont differents. In the two embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, the pike is similar, but the means for fixing it inside the container are different.

En reference ä la fig. 1, un bocal 10 est represente ferme par un couvercle 11 d'tme maniere etanche ä 1'aide dun joint 12 et dune pike de serrage 13. Le bocal 10 pre- sente des gorges circulaires internes 14 repar- ties ä distances egales sur une Partie de sa hauteur. With reference to fig. 1, a jar 10 is represented closed by a lid 11 in a sealed manner by means of a gasket 12 and a clamping pin 13. The jar 10 has internal circular grooves 14 distributed at equal distances over a Part of its height.

La pike 15 destink ä appuyer sur los cörps solides se trouvant dans 1e bocal, est de forme circulaire et de diametre approxi- mativement egal au diamkre interne du bocal. La face 16 de cette pike est concave, alors quo sa face 17 presente un bouton 18 permettant de la saisir. Des canaux 19, par exemple au nombre de cinq, sont menages dann cette pike, de maniere ä la traverser de Part en pari et ä relier los faces 16 et 17. L'an de Ces canaux se trouve au centre de la pike et passe ä. travers 1e bouton. The spike 15 intended to press on the solid bodies located in the jar, is of circular shape and of diameter approximately equal to the internal diameter of the jar. The face 16 of this pike is concave, while its face 17 has a button 18 allowing it to be entered. Channels 19, for example five in number, are provided in this pike, so as to cross it from side to side and to connect the faces 16 and 17. The year of these channels is at the center of the pike and passes To. through the 1st button.

Une Baguette 20, par exemple un jonc souple, penetre par ses deux extremites en des points opposäs de la Borge 14 et appuie par sa Partie centrale sur 1e bouton 18. Cette tige 20, ainsi quo la Borge 14 correspondante, constituent los moyens permettant de fixer la piece ä, l'interieur du bocal en exergant une legere Pression sur les corps solides se trou- vant dans celui-ci. A rod 20, for example a flexible rod, penetrates by its two ends at opposite points of the Borge 14 and presses by its central part on the first button 18. This rod 20, as well as the corresponding Borge 14, constitute the means allowing to fix the piece ä, inside the jar by exerting slight pressure on the solid bodies in it.

0n se sert du dispositif selon Finvention comme suit: Lorsque 1e recipient (bocal) est presque plein du melange de corps solides et de li quide ä conserver, ce melange ainsi que les divers organes du dispositif etant deja, stAri- lis6s ou non selon les cas, an introduit la piece 15 dans 1e bocal en la tenant par 1e bouton 18. 0n appuie legerement sur cette piece, de maniere quelle oblige les corps so lides ä, eire completement immerges dans 1e liquide, ce dernier Passant au-dessus de iadite piece parRTI ID="0002.0274" WI="4" HE="4" LX="1350" LY="835"> les canaux 19. Une fois 1a pike ainsi en place, an 1'empeche de remonter, en plagant les extr6mites de la tige 20 dans l'une des gorges 1'4. The device according to the invention is used as follows: When the container (jar) is almost full of the mixture of solid bodies and liquid to be preserved, this mixture as well as the various organs of the device being already sterilized or not according to the In this case, the part 15 is introduced into the jar, holding it by the button 18. This part is pressed lightly, in such a way as to force the solid bodies to be completely immersed in the liquid, the latter passing above the said piece parRTI ID="0002.0274" WI="4" HE="4" LX="1350" LY="835"> channels 19. ends of the rod 20 in one of the grooves 1'4.

0n comprend facilement que si la quan- tit6 du liquide ne diminue pas, les corps so lides (fruits, etc.) n'emergeront pas de ce li quide. Dans 1e cas :de conserves, 1e dispositif assurera une Bonne conservation des produits sterilises et dans d'autres applieations tolles que macerage, marinage, los Corps solides se- ront maintenus dans 1e liquide. It is easy to understand that if the quantity of the liquid does not decrease, the solid bodies (fruits, etc.) will not emerge from this liquid. In the case of preserves, the device will ensure good preservation of the sterilized products and in other applications such as maceration, pickling, the solid bodies will be maintained in the liquid.

Daus la deuxieme forme d'exkution re- present6e @ä. la fig. 2, los moyens permettant de fixer la pike 15 ä une hauteur convenable ä Piuterieur du bocal 10, consistent en des saillies 21 solidaires de la paroi interne 3.u bocal. Ces saillies sont reparties sur cette pa- roi, de maniere ä offrir 1e plus Brand nombre possible de points de fixation pour la pike 15. Cette derniere presente alors des rainu- res 22 ä sa Peripherie, de profondeur suffi- sante pour laisser passer los saillies 21 lors- que 1'on deplace la pike 15 dans 1e bocal. Des encoches 25 sont egalement prevues i1 la Peripherie de la pike 15, pour 1e Passage de Fair et du liquide. In the second form of execution represented by @ä. fig. 2, the means making it possible to fix the spike 15 at a suitable height at the back of the jar 10, consist of projections 21 integral with the internal wall 3. of the jar. These projections are distributed on this wall, so as to offer the greatest possible number of fixing points for the pike 15. The latter then has grooves 22 at its periphery, of sufficient depth to allow the projections 21 when the pike 15 is moved in the jar. Notches 25 are also provided i1 the periphery of the pike 15, for the first passage of air and liquid.

0n se sert de cette deuxieme forme d'exe- eution du dispositif comme suit: Lorsque 1e bocal est presque plein de pro- duits ä conserver, an introduit la pike 1.5 dans celui-ei, en prenant soin qu'en regard de chaque saillie 21 se trouve une des rainures 2?. 0n peut ainsi d6placer la. piece 15 axia- lement dans 1e bocal 10. Lorsque cette pike se trouve suffisamment profonde dann 1e bo- eal 10 pour empecher les Corps solides d'emer- .er du liquide, an fait subir ä ladite piece une legere rota.tion. de ma.niere que deux des Saillies 21 ne se trouvent plus en regard dune des rainures 22. La pike 15 ne peut alors plus se d6placer dans 1e bocal et elle est em- p#ch6e de remonter sous un effort de pouss6e des Corps solides. Ces derniers sont alors obli- ges de rester au-dessous du niveau sup6rieur du liquide. This second form of execution of the device is used as follows: 21 is one of the grooves 2?. 0n can thus move the. piece 15 axially in the first bowl 10. When this pike is deep enough in the first bowl 10 to prevent solid bodies from emerging from the liquid, said piece is subjected to a slight rotation. in such a way that two of the projections 21 are no longer opposite one of the grooves 22. The pike 15 can then no longer move in the jar and it is prevented from rising again under the thrust force of the solid bodies. . The latter are then obliged to remain below the upper level of the liquid.

Dans la forme d'exkution des fig. 4 et 5. la face 17 est plane et bord6e par une Partie circulaire 24. Deux lumieres 23 sont m6nagks dans cette Partie pour donner Passage aux extr6mit6s dune tige ou d'une laure ä r3ssort elastique 26. Cette forme d'exkution s'utilise avec un recipient 10 analogue ä celui de 1a fig. 1 et son utilisation est tres semblable ä Gelle de 1a. Premiere forme d'exkution. 0n remarquera cependant que la laure 26 en Pas sant ä travers les lumieres 23, et en penetrant par Tune de ses extr6mit6s dans l'une des gorges 14, maintient la pike 1.5 contre tont deplacement axial dans 1e recipient. Ceci peut etre avantageux dans certains Gas. In the execution form of figs. 4 and 5. the face 17 is flat and bordered by a circular part 24. Two slots 23 are made in this part to give passage to the ends of a rod or an elastic spring laurel 26. This form of execution is used with a container 10 similar to that of FIG. 1 and its use is very similar to Gelle from 1a. First form of execution. It will however be noted that the blade 26 in passing through the slots 23, and penetrating by one of its ends into one of the grooves 14, maintains the spike 1.5 against all axial displacement in the container. This can be advantageous in certain Gases.

Les lumieres au nombre de deux pour- raient eire plus nombreuses, trois par exeni- ple, et 1e ressort, au lieu d'etre une simple laure, pourrait avoir une forme koi16e et pr6- senter des branches en nombre egal aux lu- ini6res. The lights, two in number, could be more numerous, three for example, and the spring, instead of being a simple lavra, could have a geometric shape and present branches equal in number to the lights. .

0n comprendra que si la pike 15 est suf- fisa.mment lourde par elle-meme, il n'est pas necessaire d'avoir des moyens cluelconques permettant de la fixer ä Finthieur du r6ci- pient, son propre poids etant suffisant pour maintenir les Corps solides completement im merges dans 1e liquide. It will be understood that if the pike 15 is sufficiently heavy by itself, it is not necessary to have any other means allowing it to be fixed to the end of the container, its own weight being sufficient to maintain the Solid bodies completely immersed in the liquid.

0n remarquera que la face 16 de la pike 15 des diverses formes d'execution repr6sen- tees, c'est-@ä-dire la face venant en contact avec les Corps solides, est cöncave. Cette face pourrait etre convexe, mais da.ns aucun Gas, eile ue doit avoir une forme risquant de main- tenir contre elle des bulles d'air. Une telle Bulle d'air, en restant Prise sous la face 16, risquerait de favoriser 1e developpement de maisissures. It will be noted that the face 16 of the pike 15 of the various embodiments shown, that is to say the face coming into contact with the solid bodies, is concave. This face could be convex, but in any Gas, it must have a shape which risks holding air bubbles against it. Such an air bubble, by remaining caught under the face 16, would risk encouraging the development of molds.

Quant ä la face 17, elle peut etre plane ou incurv6e (convexe ou concave). Le bouton 18 peut etre remplace par une traverse ou tont autre organe permettant de saisir la pike 15. La tige 20, au lieu d'etre en jonc, peut etre tont organe 61astique permettaut d'exercer une certaine Pression sur les Corps solides par 1'interm6diaire de la pike 15. As for the face 17, it can be flat or curved (convex or concave). The button 18 can be replaced by a crosspiece or any other device allowing the pike 15 to be gripped. The rod 20, instead of being made of reeds, can be your flexible device which allows a certain pressure to be exerted on solid bodies by 1 the middle of pike 15.

Les gorges circulaires 14 pourraient eire remplacks par desRTI ID="0003.0273" WI="16" HE="4" LX="1359" LY="735"> logements dans lesquels peuvent p6netrer les extremites de la tige 20 ou de la laure 26. Ces logements pourraient etre de forme continue ou de forme brisk, c'est-ä-dire s'kendre entierement ou seule- ment en Partie sur la p6ripherie interne du recipient. The circular grooves 14 could be replaced by RTI ID="0003.0273" WI="16" HE="4" LX="1359" LY="735"> housings into which the ends of the rod 20 or the laurel can penetrate 26. These housings could be continuous or broken, that is to say extend entirely or only in part over the internal periphery of the container.
