In carrying out the first part of these supp^seJ imiirovements, the patentee, for the purpose of atlbriling greater facility to private families in preserving meats, constructs a vessel of iwo or more parts made to fit one another, so that the vessel can he enlarged or diminished ac- cording to the size of a jar. containing tlie fruits or other matters to be pre- served to be placed within it. This vessel is made at the lower end to fit an aperture, formed in the boiler of an ordinary kitchen range, so tliat tlie steam generated in such boiler can be turned to some useful account; this vessel is provided with a perforated bottom in order to allow the steam from the boiler to pass into the same ; the jars containing the fruit or other article of food in- tended to be partially cooked, are successively placed within the aforesaid vessel, ami subjected to the steaming process, when they have remained a sufhcient length of time, the jars or vessels containing the fruit, which ara made with a conical neck or opening, are to be tightly corked wiih as much expedition as pcjssihle, for this purpose the inventor forces the corks or bungs into the necks of the jars by means of a screw, which constitutes the second part of the invention ; and consists in the application of a screw to the cork or bung, similar to lliat used in an ordinary screw press, this screw is to Ijc kept constantly applied to the stoppers of the vessels until the contents are nearly rool.
