Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 2761. Taylor, A. B. July 15. Step-by-step conveyers and elevators. - In conveyers and elevators in which material is transferred from one to another of a series of receptacles arranged in two sets a, b reciprocated by connecting alternate receptacles to rods 2 actuated by connecting-rods 3 attached to diametrically - opposite crank - pins, the front edges of the receptacles are arranged to project in front of the pivots 1 of the links 2x so that the discharging-receptacles overlap the receiving-receptacles and spilling is prevented during transfer of the material. The driving-means are such that the fall of the receiving-receptacles is accelerated over the rise of the discharging receptacles to permit the lip of the latter overlapping the former. This is effected by actuating each rod 2 from a pair of crank-pins a<1>, a<2> having slotted connexions with the rods d, d<1>. One set of receptacles is raised while one pin travels from a<1> to b<2>. This set then receives a further lift from the pin a<2> travelling from c to c<1>, and falls while the pin a<2> travels back from c<1> to a<2>. The receptacles may be fed at any intermediate point, and may be formed with screen bars. In a modification, the receptacles are of comb-like formation.
