Stanley Matthews, Sutter v. Robinson — Opinion of the Court

“ The making of the vessel, C, of wood, and sufficiently porous to permit the steam to percolate through it, constitutes the essential feature of this invention. When metallic vessels are employed to receive the tobacco, it is liable to be and in such cases is merely heated, but not subjected to the moistening influence of steam or vapor percolating through the vessel containing the tobacco, as when this vessel is made of wood sufficiently porous to admit of that result. ”

Stanley Matthews, Sutter v. Robinson — Opinion of the Court

“ On the hearing in the circuit court it was found, upon the evidence, that the device used by the defendants differed from that of the complainants, as described in the patent, only in this respect: that the defendants' tobacco holder is not made tight so as to exclude moisture except through the pores of the wood; the defendants using the ordinary tobacco cases n which the leaf tobacco comes packed, to hold the tobacco during the process of resweating. ”

“ His invention must be limited to the apparatus, and as to that he was expressly required to state that its structural plan was old, and not of his invention. What is meant by the structural plan of the apparatus is the arrangement of the vessels for holding the tobacco, for confining the steam and water, and for supplying the steam; and the precise improvement which is alone the subject of the patent is the substitution of a wooden vessel for holding the tobacco while being resweated in place of a metallic one. ”

“ It will be found best to raise and maintain the temperature at about 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and for about forty-eight hours for tobacco which has been well desiccated, a longer time being required when treated before it has been well dried. At the end of the time specified, the tobacco should be examined, and so soon as nicotine is well developed, which will be indicated by the evolution of ammonia, the steam must be shut off, the chamber opened, the hogsheads or cases opened, the tobacco all opened and shaken and thoroughly dried, which is best done in an open and well-ventilated room ”

“ A detached boiler amply sufficient to be employed in connection with very large tanks will be comparatively simple and cheap.
'Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by letters patent, is: (1) The apparatus, substantially as described, for treating tobacco, to-wit: The tight vessel or tank, B; the tight vessel, C, made of wood, and suspended in the tank, B; and a steam generator or heater, combined and operating together, substantially as and for the purposes specified. ”

“ The defendants had also introduced in evidence, as an anticipation, a patent granted in 1865 to one Huse. His invention is described in his specification as follows:
'I take the tobacco, by preference, after it has been desicated and packed in the usual manner in hogsheads or cases, and which it is well known are not by any means so close as to exclude steam. I place these hogsheads or cases, or both, in a chamber of convenient size, and which can be closed up steam-tight, and I then introduce heat and moisture by means of steam apparatus, such as generally employed for heating buildings ”
