Granted: 1915-01-28
Abstract: 2468. Beckwith, H. Jan. 30. Hulling, husking, and decorticating.-A machine for removing the pericarp from palm fruit, olives, &c. consists of a series of knives C arrange in an horizontal plane, across which the fruit is moved by an endless conveyer. A pair of endless chains, carrying cross-rods h4 on which are mounted pocketed members H, pass over sprocket-wheels b, b1. The members H have two lugs at the rear encircling one rod h4, and a jaw h5 at the front engaging the adjacent rod h4. These rods carry also bosses which move between guides D and rest at the top upon a track M. An endless band of fabric or sheet metal carrying shaped slats of wood or metal may alternatively be employed. The feeding-device consists of a hopper E from the bottom of which the fruit is expelled by a reciprocating plunger e3, the position and length of its stroke being varied by adjusting the length of both the crank and the connecting-rod by which it is driven. Alternatively, a screw feed may be employed. The bearings of the sprocket-wheels b, b1 are adjustable, and a spring may be interposed between the adjusting-screw and the bearing to give a tension to the conveyer. The knives may be moved vertically and may be turned individually to adjust the space between them, through which the pericarp passes into a hopper f1 leading to a conveyer F, which may be jacketed.

Abstract: 21,130. Smith, J. A. B. Nov. 4. 1913. [Convention date]. Sheet feeding and guiding arrangements; paper-shelves.-A device for use in collating a sheaf of sheets, such as are used in condensed billing, and for feeding the sheaf to the platen, consists of a shelf which can be turned down into a position in which the surface normally at the rear serves as a collating-table, the shelf being provided with means, such as endless bands, for feeding the sheets to the platen. In the arrangement shown, the shelf 14 is pivoted by ears 15 on the platen axle and carries two endless bands 16, preferably of thin sheet metal. provided with pins 17 adapted to engage perforations 18 in the sheets. The bands are formed with perforations 21 adapted to engage sprockets 19, which are secured at the ends of the platen and are of less diameter than the platen so as to allow the bands to lie flush with the platen. The bands pass over tensioning- rollers 22 journaled in forks 23 on rods 24, which are mounted to slide on the shelf and are pressed outwards by springs 26. The shelf is supported in the position shown by the frame 27 and is supported in the normal position by a plate 29 which prevents the sheets from becoming detached from the pins 17. The plate 29 is pivoted by ears 30 on the platen axle and is formed with channels 31 to receive the pins 17 and with supporting-fingers 32 which engage the apron 33. After the sheets have been collated, the plate 29 is turned down on to the shelf, and the plate and the shelf are then turned back together into the normal position, the plate preventing detachment of the sheets, particularly narrow sheets which can only be attached to one set of pins. The platen is then rotated by the knob 4 to feed the sheets to the printing line, and is thereafter rotated by the line-spacing mechanism. The usual feed-rollers can be dispensed with, the apron 33 being formed without the usual slots for the feed-rollers.
