Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 19,582. Hammill, W. J., and Groves, A. Oct. 1. Sifting and separating grain and seeds.-Relates to simple sifting and separating machines for farmers' use. On the frame A is mounted the hopper B, beneath which are the two sieve shoes C, D, of which the former carries three sieves L and the latter two sieves N, S. At one end, the shoes are pivoted at d, e to vibrating levers J, which are themselves pivoted to the frame at f. The other ends of the shoes C, D are supported by links g and rollers h respectively. The lever J is actuated by a pitman I from a crank-pin on the sprocket-wheel H which drives the fan F. The sprocket-wheel H is driven by a chain E<1> from the sprocket-wheel E, which is turned by the handle a. The angular position of the board K on which the rollers h rest can be adjusted to vary the amount of agitation of the shoe D. Beneath each sieve L is a deflector M, which receives the screenings and discharges them upon the next sieve. A seed-box O is located beneath the sieve N, and is removable. The grain freed from small seeds passes over the board P, and falls on to the inclined board Q, being aspirated by the air current from the fan F. The dust is collected in a wedge-shaped casing R, which discharges at one side of the machine. A flexible .apron l allows the grain to pass from the sieve N, while preventing dust &c. from being blown back into the machine. The aspirated grain passes over a sieve S, which separates plump from shrunken wheat, oats, barley, &c., or whole from split peas. The screenings pass to a spout U, and the screened grain tails into a spout T, which delivers it to a bagger V of ordinary construction. The first and third sieves L tail on to the floor. The second sieve is provided with a discharge spout n. The upper part of the shoe C carries a wire agitator o, the horizontal part of which lies in the feed-opening of the hopper B and keeps it clear. The sieve N can be removed by letting down a hinged flap p at its outer end.

Abstract: 10,729. Thompson, W. P., [Davis, C. C., and Webster, E. W.]. May 11. Making boxes.-A blank, consisting of a central part to constitute the bottom, and flaps, integral therewith, to constitute the sides and ends, of a box or cover, is formed into a box or cover, and adhesive stay strips are attached at the angles or corners to secure the parts, by apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 9. The blanks are fed under a former or plunger 1 to rods or supports 2 by means of a pusher which pushes the lower blanks in succession from a pile to feed-rollers which eject the blanks to a table from which they are fed by a reciprocating pusher to the supports 2. The supports 2 are carried on stands 2<a>, which, with posts 3, serve as an enclosure, within which the plunger moves to form the box. The creasing or bending along the sides of the box is assisted by bevelled crimper-bars 66, Fig. 9, which are slid to fold the sides as shown, the plunger or former being suitably recessed to enable the sides to be folded at a sharp angle. The plunger having descended, the sides and ends are turned up at right-angles to the bottom. Stay strips 26 for the four corners or angles are fed from reels 27, the strips being fed along suitable guides to pasting or damping rollers which have grooves at the middle so as to leave the middle of the strips unaffected. From the pasting or damping rollers, the strips are carried over the guide-rollers and thence over feedrolls, to which they are pressed by narrow rollers, which rest on the middle unpasted or undamped portions. The feed-rollers are rotated intermittently by ratchet gearing, the pawls being carried on rings concentric with the rollers, and the rings being actuated by means of slides through links and levers, which are adjustably connected. The strips are finally fed down vertically through slits. Pressers 53 having V-grooves in front are actuated by cam slides to cut off the strips and attach them to the corners. The finished box or cover is then allowed to drop on a travelling band 82, which carries it off the machine. Several of the parts are adjustably mounted on plates g so as to form boxes of different sizes.
