Title: Improvements in Candy-Making Machines.
Inventor: KNOTT EUSTACE REYNOLDS
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 6694. Knott, E. R. March 18. Moulding confectionery; stream - cutting machines.-A candy-making machine comprises a rolling-apparatus A adapted to reduce a mass of candy into stick form, a second rolling- apparatus B for reducing the size of the stick, a cutter C for dividing the stick into sections, and a cutter D for dividing the sections into sweets. Each rolling-apparatus comprises a series of conical rollers 4 mounted in inclined bearings on a carrier 5 with their axes converging towards, but without intersecting, the axis of the carrier. The conical rollers are rotated on their own axes by planet pinions 11 engaging a bevel-wheel 12 driven from a spurwheel 15, and the carrier 5 is rotated directly by spur teeth on its periphery. The cones preferably enclose a space similar in shape to each roller, and the wheels 5, 15 are driven from a countershaft 13 at such relative speeds that each cone rotates once on its own axis as it is carried once round by the carrier and in the same direction. The countershaft 13 is driven through a friction disk gear 57 to allow the speed to be varied. The candy mass is placed in a trough 1 and passes forward through a circular opening in a non-rotating boss secured to the stand 7. The cones 4 are supported at one end only and are secured to pins 10, Fig. 5, running in long bearings 9 formed on the carrier 5. The end 4<a> of the cone is removable, being screwed on an extension of the pin 10, and is of concave form, so that the set of cones presents for a short distance a cylindrical surface to the candy mass as it emerges. The second rolling-apparatus B of similar form is normally driven at a higher speed, but may in some cases be dispensed with. The section-cutter C comprises a pair of single blades mounted on vertical shafts 25 at opposite sides of the candy stick, which rests on the guide 3. The final cutter D comprises feed-rolls 31 and rotary bladed disks 33 mounted in pairs on vertical shafts at opposite sides of the candy stick, and a star-wheel 34 rotating on an horizontal axis so as to clear and deliver the cut sweets. The section cutter C and final cutter D are driven by bevel-wheels on shafts 13<a>, 46 which carry friction disks 45, 44 driven from a common friction roller 43. The roller 43 is movable across the faces of the disks so as to vary the speed and is arranged so that as the speed of one is increased, that of the other is decreased. The second rolling-apparatus B is also driven from the shaft 13<a>. By dividing the candy stick into sections before cutting it up, the rate of feed of the sticks and consequently the size of the sweets may be adjusted independently of the rolling-apparatus.
