Abstract The interior of an outer receptacle is partitioned into a machine compartment and an inner tank. In the upper portion of said inner tank, an inner container adapted to hold hen''s eggs for the treatment contemplated by this invention is disposed in a freely detachable state. In the lower portion of the inner tank, there is disposed a body of water in which a heater and thermostats are laid. The inner tank is provided at an upper part with an outlet for hot water and at a bottom part with an inlet for hot water respectively, with the outlet and the inlet interconnected via a water feed pump disposed inside the machine compartment. The water in said inner tank is heated by the heater to a prescribed temperature and maintained constant by means of the thermostats. The water supply pump inside the machine compartment draws in hot water through the lower part of the inner tank and discharges it through an L-shaped nozzle freely rotatably disposed at the upper part of the inner container so as to have the hot water circulated through the interior of the inner container. The circulation of hot water serves to maintain the interior of the inner container at a uniform temperature so that only the yolks of the hen''s egg held in the inner container are solidified.

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
An apparatus for the solidification of yolks of hen''s eggs, comprising in combination an outer receptacle having the interior thereof partitioned into an inner tank and a machine compartment, said inner tank being provided at an upper part with a hot water outlet and at a lower part with a hot water inlet respectively and said machine compartment incorporating therein a water feed pump adapted to draw in hot water through said inlet and discharge the hot water through said outlet; an inner container disposed in a freely detachable state at the upper portion of said inner tank, said inner container having an open upper side to admit hot water introduced through said outlet and incorporating a multiplicity of small holes bored through the bottom thereof; and a body of water in the lower portion of said inner tank, said body of water having a heater and thermostats disposed therein, whereby the body of water held in the lower portion of the inner tank is heated by the heater to a prescribed temperature, maintained at a constant temperature by virtue of the thermostats and, at the same time, supplied to and circulated through the interior of the inner container by means of the water feed pump.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
206 words
An apparatus for the solidification of yolks of hen''s eggs, comprising in combination an outer receptacle having the interior thereof partitioned into an inner tank and a machine compartment, said inner tank being provided at an upper part with a hot water outlet and at a lower part with a hot water inlet respectively and said machine compartment incorporating therein a water feed pump adapted to draw in hot water through said inlet and discharge the hot water through said outlet; an inner container disposed in a freely detachable state at the upper portion of said inner tank, said inner container having an open upper side to admit hot water introduced through said outlet and incorporating a multiplicity of small holes bored through the bottom thereof; and a body of water in the lower portion of said inner tank, said body of water having a heater and thermostats disposed therein, whereby the body of water held in the lower portion of the inner tank is heated by the heater to a prescribed temperature, maintained at a constant temperature by virtue of the thermostats and, at the same time, supplied to and circulated through the interior of the inner container by means of the water feed pump.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an L-shaped nozzle is fitted in a water-tight and freely rotatable state to the tip of the outlet so that the hot water is supplied along the inner wall of the inner container.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the small holes bored through the bottom of the inner container are such that the amount of hot water flowing downwardly therethrough is slightly smaller than the amount of hot water introduced through the nozzle.
