Abstract: 225,724. Simon, Ltd., H., Laycock, H. C., and Ball, J. S. Jan. 17, 1924. Separating by rotary pitted cylinders and other moving bodies with like surfaces.-In separators for grain of the type comprising plates or discs or spirals with cellular surfaces moving edgewise through the grain so as to pick up the smaller grains and deliver them away from the bulk, provision is made for additional separation of the grains actually in the cells according to shape. The invention is applied to the separation of wheat and large spherical vetch grains, in which case the size of the cells necessary to pick up the vetch would also admit some of the wheat grains. The cells d, Fig. 7, are provided with apertures h at their inner ends of such a size as to admit the narrow ends of the elongated wheat grains but not the spherical vetch grains i and the open ends of the cells are so proportioned to the sizes of the grains, that the wheat grains enter with their major axes in line with the sides of the cells. The wheat and vetch grains are then delivered separately in any convenient manner. In a modification, Fig. 9, the cells d are in the form of slots, and are shaped so as to present the wheat grains with their lengths parallel to the slots.
