BOX FOR MEAT AND OIL PRESSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,875, dated May 26, 1885.
Application filed March 11, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it mnay concern,:
Be it known that we, JOHN J. CULBERTSON
and BERNARD GASTON, of Paris, Lamar cou-
ty, Texas, and JOHN C. O'CONNELL, of Mont-
5 gomery, Montgomery county, Alabama, have
invented certain new and useful Improve-
ments in Boxes or Receptacles for Meat and
Oil Presses, of which the following is a full,
clear, and exact description.
to Our invention relates to the boxes or recep-
tacles for meats and presses for extracting the
oil from cotton and other seeds; and our in-
vention consists in providing the box or re-
ceptacle with a lining, preferably of sheet
15 metal, to prevent adherence of meat to the
box or receptacle, which is liable to accumu-
late and harden and cause breakage of the
box or receptacle.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying
20 drawing, forming part of this specification, in
which the figure is a sectional elevation of an
oil-box or receptacle for meats having the in-
vention applied thereto.
In the drawing, A is the box or receptacle.
Within the press box or receptacle A is placed 25
the lining a, which is, by preference, sheet-
brass, and serves to prevent the meats from
adhering to and accumulating upon the upper
part of the box or receptacle, thus avoiding
the danger of breaking the box or receptacle 30
for meats.
Having thus described our invention, we
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
Pateut-
The pressand meat box or receptacleA, pro- 35
vided with the lining a, placed in the box to
prevent accumulation of meat in the box, sub-
stantially as described.
