Granted: 1906-10-25
Abstract: 1636. Garfield, J. Jan. 22. Sewage and foul waters, treating ; straining.-A strainer consists of several sets of tines b attached to a shaft a, which is rotated intermittently by means of a pawl e on a lever f connected by a rod g to a lever h carrying a bowl which engages with the groove of a cam on the driving - shaft j When the set of tines b that has last been in action is rotated to an horizontal position, a tray k is moved forward beneath it by means of the levers l, m. The levers mare fulcrumed at the top of the framing and oscillated from the shaft j in a similar manner to the lever f. A scraper, brush, or rake p is supported on the tray framing by levers q and notched tappet bars r. The bars r are tripped by projections s at the end of the forward stroke, and the scraper as it travels backwards clears the solid matter from the tines into the tray k. A second scraper t attached to levers u rocked by cams on the shaft j clears the solids from the tray into a trough 1 provided with conveyer plates 2. The scraper t strikes against the scraper p to re-set it in its raised position. In a modification, the driving- shaft is surrounded by a sleeve carrying the strainer tines, the sleeve being rotated intermittently by means of a clutch ; the movement of the tray is effected by a pinion linked to a crankpin carried by the driving-shaft and caused to run in gear with a fixed rack while engaging at the same time with a rack on the bottom of the tray. The scraper for the tray is replaced by a comb situated below the horizontal position of the straining-tines in such a manner that its teeth can be raised between the tines from an horizontal to a vertical position so as to clear away the solid matter.
